WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

I did SNEAKILY put in 2 new stamps..!  I love when I do dat.  My Happy Peas honestly make me so happy!  They look so SNUGGLY and cozy and they are a little bit of a bella and fella combined to keep with the theme!  I watercolored them (I have no clue how to watercolor but own EVERY SINGLE watercoloring medium out there) and they look specTACular!  They give me the warmest and fuzziest feeling EVAH.. how about you?  do you Likey?  I have sentiments to go with them.. just click on the magnifying glass! A little bit of a note about how the peas came to life?  My right hand Ruby ( I say RIGHT HAND cuz If I didn’t have her by my side every day and on weekends I would have never coped and would have probably given up).. Anyway, Ruby’s daughter Robyn (not only the most BRILLIANT 9 year old little girl but STUNNING..) said to me one saturday… “PEAS come to my birthday party.. and she said, Em, why don’t you have a stamp of peas???.. well that was it.. the next day, they were created thanks to Robyn.. the cutest story that goes with that one is that I told her to think more more more so we can design more stamps and i hear her muttering to herself “hmmm what rhymes with carrot?”  LOL! 

Oh and there’s a new fella.. SHHHHH.. you all asked for him.. so ya HAPPY NOW? LOL

Processing time is now about 8 ish days and I have moved all today and will bring my inventory over there on Monday so will try to get everything cleaned up and organized for Tuesday which will be PURE processing day… Hmph.. As you all know this is SO frustrating for me.. I can’t stand making you wait and I do know that you understand and your supportive and lovey dovey comments mean so much to me.. HONESTLY!
MWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Love to all

Is anyone aware of the “crocs” phenomenon?  Crocs are the UGLIEST shoes you have EVER seen in your life (actually they are coming out with cuter styles) but they are SOOOOO comfy womfy.. you never want to take them off!  About 2-3 years ago I was in Montreal shopping and spotted BRIGHT pink crocs in the window. I went nuts.. didn’t know what a ‘croc’ was then but bought them and wore them proudly all over the place… Ryan thought I was a PSYCHO.. my friends had no idea what had landed on my feet etc.. but I continued to wear them..(would you doubt it??).. Toronto still didn’t have the crocs at that point.. well.. wouldn’t you know it.. a year later, it becomes the latest craze and EVERYONE and their grandmother had to have these shoes! ALL the people who made fun of me are now wearing them ..LOL.  Well, I bought Tyler a pair last year and he wore them to death last year.. I swear it is like walking on two mattresses!(giggle)…  Ok, so then I am watching Oprah while working and hear the most incredible story about a stay at home mom who was at the pool and created these croc ‘charms’ that everyone went NUTS over. These charms hook on through the holes of the crocs.. kinda like an accessory.. Sure enough this woman who created these croc charms, made it on Oprah and BAM.. the rest is history.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE stories like that.. you know about what people invent and sell kabillions of? I saw a story about a young girl who wanted pastel nailpolish so she took nailpolish and mixed it with white and called her company HARD CANDY, made it to Oprah and bingo bango.. the rest is history once again!! LOVE IT!

Ok, I digress (what else is new?).. the whole POINT of this post was to show you these legs

 I mean HONESTLY.. could you take these legs and SHOVE them in your mouth whole???  And of course, checkout minibella’s crocs with all the charms.. THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!! 

Ok, that’s all I had to share..LOL.. sorry I got off track yet again! And Winners will be announced for the contest early next week

MWAH

Hello sistahs!

Thank you for participating in my contest! I AM LOVING the stories! (well, some are very sad..) so I laughed and I cried and laughed some more and cried some more.. isn’t it refreshing to just sit down and read and really get to know each other?  Can you tell I studied sociology?  I just love learning about people!  Ok.. now the urgent message.  I am now ready to move into my new place.. actually for the next few days and into the weekend.  This means delays on processing.  I could just SCREAM, it is very frustrating because I want to ship ASAP and I can’t process as fast as I would like to.  So.. things to look forward to in the next couple of weeks:

(1) juicy reveals of course

(2) speedier processing time as I will be getting more help!! (YIPPEE)

(3) Different postal options which will be pricier but trackable AND 4-5 day GUARANTEED delivery!  How’s that for a treat?  I am SO excited for that.. no more horse and buggy! (Although I will still offer the horse and buggy service)

So please please please forgive me for the next few days as orders WILL be delayed and I know it is so unacceptable but right now that’s all I can say.. I would like to apologize a million times over and I can PROMISE that things will get MUCH speedier.. so please most of you have been with me from the beginning and I am suffering from some growing pains right now.. (my stomach, my bum… no just kidding (not).. I am talking BIDNISS)..I am hoping you understand and will forgive me…

Love to all

BIG FAT JUICY MWAHHHS!

today is Ryan’s birthday.. actually was…  numbah 35… I still remember when we were 20 and I was fixed up on a blind date with the CUTEST boy you ever did see…. I remember remember the party, the games, especially the dares for truth or dare we’d played and which were so eventful. 15 years later, he is that same boy  who picked me up for our first date (and was a little late–why can’t I forget that?).. my girlfriend fixed us up and came on our first date with us.. I knew right then and there that he was “THE ONE”… Ok I am gonna tell you about our first date (even though I may bore you to death)..He picked me up (not as late) and we went to the most amazing coffee/sandwich place (didn’t expect so much then-boy have things changed!)  so we sit down and we are talking up a storm and all of a sudden I see his jaw drop.. I am wondering what is going on and sure enough what do I see/feel?  His jaw dropped cuz as we were talking I was crossing my legs under the table cloth.. as I was crossing my legs, I caught onto the tablecloth and started pulling it off the table.  Along with the ginormous sandwich AND.. yes AND.. a huge scalding cappucino.. all over my lap… I WAS SO EMBARASSED at being such a klutz.. Ryan IMMEDIATELY jumped up and told me he had a spare pair of pants in his trunk (didn’t think to ask why..LOL) and he said he would go get them for me to change since I was BURNT and had alfalfa sprouts all over my pants… Ok so NOW.. the panic set in… Sistahs.. do you know why???? I WAS PETRIFIED that his pants WOULDN’T FIT!!!! What if they didn’t?  that’s it if they didn’t, he would TOTALLY never ask me out again.. I was suffering sistahs.. really suffering.. So he brings me the pants.  Black DRESS pants.. he put them in my hands and told me to go change.. OMG.. I wanted to spill more COFFEE and WINE all over the pants so I wouldn’t have to change.. but I couldn’t cuz he was watching my every move…. So I go to the bathroom.. hold my breath and HOPE for the best…. whaddya think happened?!?!?!?!?  THEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT and were even a little loose (loose?  what’s that?  those were the days.. hmph). So of course I strut right out of the bathroom dramatically repeating to him over and over again that the pants are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO big on me (while I hold in my tummy and pull the pants forward so he can see just HOW big they were on me.. LOLOL!)… Well, it was love ever since.  Hope I didn’t bore you.

Of course I am a little guilty too as I didnt make or buy a card for him.. so this is my tribute to my love… Happy birthday  to my fella!

So lets have a little contest… Let’s forget about stamping for a second (ok not for that long) and tell the sistahs about your first dates with your significant others or any other funny stories you would like to share!  I love to listen to this stuff!  It will be a great prize of course.. to be discussed… I also owe for the last contest so I will send that out too!

I am SO EXCITED to hear the stories? DId you “MWAH” or not? LOLOL

Mwah to da sistahs

love you muchly
