WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

LOL!

Sistahs!  The show hasn’t even started and I am soooo tired and blistery.  We are having a blast, met tons of people  while I limp (lol), and I already have an adventure to tell.

Yesterday our friend Natalie, the owner of Scrapbook Centrale in Montreal (DA best store evah) picked us up from the convention center to go for lunch and a little shopping… so here I am looking all glitzy and sparkly with my bare escentuals makeup (another story I may share later) and my sparkly sunglasses.. we go into the restaurant and we are sitting down and I am searching for my glasses.  My regular glasses, you know?  so I am searching.. dump my purse and searching.  NO GLASSES.  I proceed to panic.  Natalie runs to the car to check there.  Nicky is consoling me that for the rest of the show it is OK to wear SUNGLASSES….LOL.. and at NIGHT PARTIES.. it will be OK to wear sunglasses.. what would people thinky???? Either that I am a addicted to some substance and hiding behind my sunglasses ORRRRRRRR that I think I am a superstar (LOL) and need to wear sunglasses in public not to get recognized (just laughed my HEAD off here)… so we are talking, blabbing, gossiping (with my sunglasses on) and all I was thinking about were my little Chanel’s all alone somewhere…

After lunch we returned to the convention center and I proceeded to go to the information desk, who pointed to the coat check (lost and found) about 67 miles from that desk… once I got to coat check, they told me to go to the show office.. I said “OK thank you!” all excited that I would find my glasses…went to show office who proceeded to send me to registration (LOL) another 85 miles to get there… I go to registration they look at me like “WHY would someone send you HERE?”.. then I speak to a security services officer who sends me outside to NOTHING.. then I speak to a security guard outside who sends me to the SECURITY OFFICE… which I couldn’t find (at this point I know you are are so annoyed with this story but TOO BAD).. I then called from there “RECEPTION” and they say to me “WHAT KIND OF GLASSES ARE THEY?” i said CHANEL’s.. and they say to me BUT WHY ARE THEY IN A BULGARI CASE?  and I Said WHO CARES.. DO YOU HAVE MY GLASSES? and she said yes.. so I walked another 67 miles escorted by a lovely security officer where I found my “eyesight”.. at least i got my exercise for the year, no?

We are hanging out with DA coolest people.. the list is too long to even mention

I can’t wait for you to meet her!! THERE ARE SO MANY IMAGES that will come out in this collection… the artist is TERRIBLY clever and so imaginative, it’s a BLAST working with her.

Hiya sistahs!  Can you believe the train I am on has a wireless?  I am probably paying $650.00/minute but you are worth it 🙂  I am just coming back home from my little ‘sojourn’ in Montreal.  I came in with Tyler to celebrate my grandmother’s 86th birthday.. OMG she would KILL me if she knew I leaked her “age” secret.  We all had a great time.. it’s so crazy living so far from “home” and missing out on all the ‘events’.. one of my newyears reolutions is to make more of an effort in taking the time to spend the extra time with my family.. we’ll see if that works! 

We have about 65 travel games with us including battleship, guess who, backgammon and checkers and the only thing thrilling Tyler at the moment is watching a newborn cry across from us and harassing the “cart lady” with the food.. LOL

ok now that I have about 5 hours to kill..LOL.. let me just “tease you” by saying that we have  a huge variety of new goodies in the works for da sistahs!  which leads me to my next topic.  I don’t think I made a formal announcement yet but we have a new member on board the bella team.. but HE is not a bella you see… he is an AMAZING FELLA if I do say so myself :).  My hubs, Ryan has come on board and we are working together.  It is working out phenomenally!  We are actually getting a long!!! LOL.  In all  seriousness, we joined forces for many reasons.   First is cuz we lovey eachother LOL, but second of all, Ryan brings with him a knowledge and experise in many industries and is able to apply it in the crafting industry which willallow us to experiment and come up with different and new things!  we already have some things in the works 🙂  and if it wasn’t for my Ryan.. the neat freak that he is, I would probably be still living out of boxes a the office 🙂  So sistahs, please give the BROTHA’ a warm welcome 🙂

I will have to sign off right now cua I am SO ANNOYED at this connection.. it ijust took me 1.5 hours to post this blog entry .. LOL

mwah to da sistahs who are used to high speed
