WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Happy birthday Shmiz.  I love you.  And of course feeling SOOO guilty that I didn’t send you a card so here it is.

[photopress image=”bffcard.jpg”]

Let me tell you a little bit about my high-school-always-was-a-bad-influence-on-her-and-she-made-me-graduate-university-BFF-named-LIZ.

This will bore you but I am gonna talk about her anyway.  Liz is the most wonderful, warm, amazing, SKINNY, BEAUTIFUL Bella. Not only is she BRILLIANT and GORGEOUS but a phenomenal wife and friend and mom.  We have been BFFS since we were 12 and blabbed to each other in high school when the teacher would always get US into trouble when it was really ME who was the blabbermouth (shocking I know).  Liz was the one who pulled all nighters with me and forced me to FOCUS and concentrate on my studies..  Liz was the one who Wrote, ahem, edited, my papers that I handed in to my professors in university.  Liz and I got engaged within a week of eachother.. liz is DA BOMB but she lives too far away *sniff*.

Liz, you are the blond eating ice cream and I am the brunette (except you really look  like bella and I, well, I have curly hair 🙂 ) ..

Happy birthday my friend

I love you and miss you

hellllo sistahs!

I was just nodding off at my computer.. LOL (I have NEVER said ‘nodding off’ before, have YOU?) when I decided that I must give you an update regarding my sistah sale last week… Nicky threatened to take a picture of me at my desk.. I warned her not to so that you wouldn’t be scared of what you saw!

This is the scoopage… I am backlogged.. VEWY backlogged.  I am trying my hardest to process ordaHs but please bear with me… I blame the backlog NOT on the sale but on that one day I decided to spend with my family! LOL.  just kidding.  SOOO you know I am always here to answer questions.. and I am working this weekend to try to catch up  and I have been working at least 12 hour days.. so PLEASE forgive me if you feel it is taking too long.. I am really trying my bestest!  If any of my sistahs need their order in a true blue rush, please email me and I will try my best to ship ASAP

I have already seen a couple of new sistahs, have you?  If so, quickly get a blanket, throw it over their heads and bring them over to our yahoo group n’k?

Splitcoast forums is gonna be DA BOMB’.. i mean, only if YOU make it da bomb.. we can totally blab, talk about new product, ourselves etc.. I would love to start a thread about all of us.. wouldn’t that be FAB-O?  Our ages (i am 35 with a 6 year old mentality), our aspirations, marriage/no marriage, kidlets, etc… I am so excited!  We can talk FREELY on this forum.. and there will be a link to albums etc… I trust you sistahs will make it a PHENOM place to be.. bellaholics has exceeded all of my expectations.. it is such a nice place to be.. everyone loves eachother (at least on DA board.. not sure what PM”ing is going on..LOL) very welcoming and just, well, nice. So let’s make this splitcoast ‘thang as great a place to be!  Let’s get our symbolic ‘blankies’ and throw them over potential sistah’s heads and kidnap them into our forum.. sound like a plan? 

my move.  DON”T ASK.  Ryan has been involved with the renovations of my new place.. OMG.. contractors don’t show up… things aren’t moved.. it is a disaster and I have to move in 1.5 weeks.. I am PETRIFIED and STRESSED out.. how am I going to survive??  Oh well, thank goodness I LOVE my job and ADORE my sistahs and there is always SOMETHING that is making me go on and making me love every single step of this journey.. even the contractors that don’t show up 🙂

 Did I mention I have a new little teeny tiny line coming up?  It may even be launched next week if I am lucky… TDF… I mean honestly,  the images.. OMG.. I wish I could tell but I can’tttttt

Mwah to da sistahs who don’t have contractors

I shmuv shmoo (that’s what I say to my kids and my friend Liz in Montreal)

Mwah

Em

we had our friends in from Montreal all weekend.  They brought their 2 little ones and we had a PHENOM time… so they left yesterday.. and RUBY (you know my right hand woman/hero?) Ya, well she promised to take Tyler and Jayden on a subway ride.  Let me tell you HOW EXCITED my children were so when Ruby called on Sunday night I had a feeling…. Yes it was true, her poor DD Robyn was sick so she wouldn’t be able to make it..

Ryan and i talked about it and YES, we decided to do it.  To have an adventure.  So we took the kidlets on a subway.. went to a mall downtown to eat lunch, then we went outside and listened to music being played outside by spanish musicians (tyler gave them money and Jayden put on a little show herself dancing).. another couple was dancing in the middle of this huge area; ballroom dancing.  Ryan said to me “what would possess people to just get up and dance in the middle of a crowd”… you know what?  A while ago, I would have agreed with him.. how embarassing! but now?  you know what?  I found it beautiful!  This couple did not CARE what other people thought.. they felt so liberated and moved by the music that they let go of their inhibitions and just danced and danced.. it was SO BEAUTIFUL to watch.. and I have PLENTY of inhibitions and I am trying to push my children to not be caught up by that, to let go, to dance when they want to dance and sing when they want to sing… it was really beautiful..

So THEN, we saw a double decker bus tour.. LOL and we took the kids on that, touring the city (LOL.. the tourguide asked where we were from and we told him NORTH OF THE CITY).. he was killing himself laughing.. and then we went on a boat ride on harbour front.. it was really nice… I knew I had to take yesterday to soak up the kids and the hub cuz the next few weeks I will be MIA due to work.. 

We then ended the evening with a cable car ride and the subway again.. Ryan and I have never been on the cable car before.. so it was sooo much fun.

So Sistahs, the moral of this story is to DANCE when you want to DANCE and SING when you want to SINGGG.. life is too short to have inhibitions.. we should let loose and just enjoy life.  That’s my new motto.  I mean it.

Mwah to da Singing and Dancing Sistahs..

actually just wanted it to rhyme .. it means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (my title, that is).. Well, I must tell you that this sale of mine.. just a little RAK I wanted to give everyone has had an absolutely overwhelming response.. I mean totally international (as far as MALAYSIA and SOUTH AFRICA!!).. needless to say, without getting into much detail, I expect all of you who ordered to MARCH YOURSELVES into my office and PICK your own orders.. s’aright?  I will supply the coffee and the pizza.. extra cheese. Thanks.

Please be patient with me.. I mean RE-HEALLY patient.. It is a long weekend here in Canada and I was in work all day today trying to get organized for Tuesday (tomorrow we promised our kids that we would take them on a choo choo train.. aka SUBWAY for a nice long ride.. aren’t we EXCITING?)… So that’s the scoop.  Thank you again for all of your support.. Thank you to da NEW sistahs who have resisted and decided to give Stamping Bella a chance.. I really appreciate it!

Mwah to DA sistahs who I LOVEY soooo much
