Sistahs,

As many of you know, Nichole Heady from Papertrey Ink, Gina K from Gina K Designs are hosting a CRUISE this October!  OMG.. A cruise!  I mean the opportunity of a lifetime just to see me in a ‘kini! (NOT).. Ok, I digress…  We have a confirmed booking of approximately 160 stampers and a waiting list going on.  Please put your name down if you are interested as there may be cancellations .  Please contact Cruise One for more information

Now, if you know Nichole, Gina and I , you know that we love product and we believe firmly in products we promote.  Having said that, we have had many requests for information on how one can promote their business/product by sponsoring our beloved cruise with fabulous door prizes, goodie baskets, product to use in classes.. What better way to promote yourselves than by sponsoring product to 160 avid stampers :)?

At this time, all 3 of us will be accepting sponsorship requests for the cruise.  If you are in the papercrafts business/stamping/scrapbooking industry and would like to learn just how to participate in our sponsorship program, we are currently reviewing requests by email.  You can contact any of us through email (da bella at emily@stampingbella.com) and please please please put CRUISE SPONSORSHIP in the subject line of your email.

We would like to thank Scor-PAL, Core’dinations and Stewart Superior  and more who have committed to the three amigas!

Mwah to da sistahs who will float on our boat

P.S. we are soooo excited!!!

Please tell me that is the way to spell it.. LOL.. cuz if not.. I am gonna feel like a dumbdumb.  This is not really a bidniss post.. it’s more of a remember-those-days-with-my-fabulous-4-readers-where-i-used-to-make-fun-of-myself?  LOL.. so here goes…

I have decided that it was time to go on a little diety poo poo and do some exercise where I don’t have to jump up and down and still sweat..LOL… do I live in a bubble world or what?  ANYWAYYYYYYYYYYY  I saw my friends Amanda and Jay a couple of weeks ago and they looked ABSOLUTELY PHENOM.. so I asked them.. WHY DO YOU LOOK SO ABSOLUTELY PHENOM?  and they told me MOKSHA YOGA.. hot yoga.. hmmm.. I asked if they had to jump up and down.. and they said “nope”.. then I asked if they sweat.. and they said YUP.. and then I remembered Madonna and her TONED YOGA BODY and said to my self.. “self? (ok I know that’s old).. why don’t I go ahead and try this type of exercise”.. so as I start something new, I am just the type where I can’t DIVE into a class and humiliate myself so I booked a private class for Ryan and I… welll…. I don’t think Nicky mentioned a KABILLION times to bring water and not to faint… then she told Ryan  to watch me and make SURE that I dont keel over in the heat..LOL.. so off we went to our class.. I changed in the bathroom (cuz I don’t changey in publicky), put on my yoga gear (why not get in gear even if you aren’t into the sport)… actually that reminds me.. a few years ago I started “spinning” at a health club where you are in a dark room with FUNKY music and you are riding a stationery bike to the beat and the teacher tells you the resistance to stand etc.. LOOOVED that class… so what did I do?  I bought SPINNING SHOES and a GEL SEAT for the class… it seems that once I get “equipped” for something, it is a type of kiss of death.. do you think I “spun/spinned” again?  NOPE.. got DA SHOESIES and did not spin again…

Anyway, of course my biggest fear of this yoga biDniss was that a) I would pass out from the heat b) I WOULD LAUGH HYSTERICALLY at the silence c) I would suffer MAJOR anxiety at the silence..LOL…  So ryan and I walked in the heated room and it really was the most peaceful experience.. the class was about 95-100 minutes long and it was just wonderful.. can you believe I didn’t laugh?  I didn’t stress?  I WAS IN SHOCK.. but then again I was in a private class.. I guess it will be different when I am in a proper class….

so whaddya think I did?  I BOUGHT A YOGA MAT…

UH OH…. you know what DAT means

mwah to da sistahs who know how to spell NAMASTE

Happy Friday sistahs!!!

wanted you to have a PHENOM weekend!  PHENOM… after laughing my head off at my post regarding my coredinations paper.. showing my cutesie pie husband, my PILE O’ PAYPAH etc, I received comments and private emails regarding the wall decals behind my desk… wellllllllllllllllll guess whatttttttt?  I mean really.. GUESS WHAT??? Yep, we did it… we did  da sistahood in a wall decal for you!  We have included enough space in between da sistahs so you can cut them up and spread them around your craft room OR in one image (so you get 4 for one price!)! you happy? you likey?  Each package will include instructions on how to mount it… it is very easy.. we tried and tested it! So I hope you would love to bellify your room and think of da sistahs when you create!

I have also added my favorite Fiskars squeeze punches.. they stack and their shapes are quite unique.. and their NAMES??? right up my alley..LOL

I hope you have a PHENOM weekend and will be thinking of da sistahs

Will have more surprises next week!

Mwah to da sistahs who wanna stick themselves on a wall

Sistahs, you must read this post and if you don’t already KNOW Lauren, I think it is IMPERATIVE that you meet her… Lauren Meader, that is.  Please read her story and learn what she is all about.  I have been an avid reader of her blog and admirer for many moons.  Her talent is INCREDULOUS (word?) and her style cannot be beat… her personality exudes on her blog and just makes you fall in love with her.

This morning I was inundated with emails from sistahs telling me “did you see Lauren’s card?”, “it BLEW me away”.. DIDJA SEE IT? HUH HUH HUH?  So with my coffee in hand I sat at my computer and read Lauren’s post.  Of course the card was the usual Lauren style, but the content of her post was even MORE meaningful.  Lauren basically visually exemplefied what the true meaning of BELLA is… of what Bella was intended to be or mean to everyone around us.. that Bella, regardless of what she looks like, exudes a persona that can be identified with.. and that is what her card and her post are about.  About her MOM.. a mom who has many different functions and meanings in our lives.

Please read it.

Lauren, you have outdone yourself and kudos to you sistah for putting the “feeling” and true meaning  of “ bella” on a card for all of us to enjoy.

Mwah to da sistahs who may be sniffling along with me as I write this post
