Over due thanks to Ann..and a quick story.

These props are waaaay overdue!!! My Bella Sistah Ann has been sooo good to me. I wanted to flaunt it in front of Ya'll. LOL!!

Quick story: My husband and I were born and raised in California and now live in Dallas, Texas. Both our sons were born here in Texas. I don't think either of them have an accent, but our family says they do. Our 3 yr. old walked into the kitchen where hubby and I were standing and said...giggle......"What are ya'll doin'?" We looked at each other and said OMG!!!! We were just short of falling onto the floor, rolling, and laughing our butts off. So, being from Cali and using my most favorite word ever, I said "Duuuude!! Did you hear that?!!" He says it all of the time. We were trying not to make a huge deal over it, to see if he still said it. He does! So I picked him up from daycare yesterday (Friday) and told Blake to say Bye to all of his friends and told the two teacher to have a great weekend. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAID TO ME?! Ya'll too!

HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! ROTFL!!!!!!!! I know where it came from now. Hahahahaha!!! I just had to share that with you. Back to business......

Besides surprising me with the gift certificate that was emailed to me on like the first day of the Bellah Sistah thing, Ann sent me this wonderful package first. Tons of stuff.....I mean TONS!!!!! Bling ,Embellishments, Chipboard, Awesome paper and matching ribbon, frames, acrylic stamp, rubber stamps, images and brads...Tons!!Then just the other day I get another package. I am like "What the heck?" And I am feeling like a pretty bad sistah at this point. I had a package in my car and totally laaaged on mailing it out. Boy did I ever hussle it to the post office!!! Here is the second box I got from her... It had the most adorable smaller box inside with little kiddos on the side and a little boy on the top...awww....it's sooo cute!!! Inside had "snowmand circle" from StampingBella and the floral lace punch from Martha Stewart...SCORE!!!!! And a package of chipboard....AWESOME!!!

Last, but more precious than all are the handmade cards that came with each of the packages. I took a pic of them together. I absolutley loooove Ann's work. I am so impressed with her and her talent. Ann is the third sistah I have had at the Bellaholics Yahoo Group. I have learned sooo much from every single sistah I have had. All of the ladies in the group are amazing.Going to create now, I just wanted to let ya'll LOLOLOLOL!!! know how lucky I am to have Ann as my sistah! And to let Ann know how much I really do appreciate her!!

Love, Carrie

What a Happy Birthday!!

I have received so many nice birthday wishes! Thanks to everyone who lifted my day up!!
I have to send a special thank you out to my Bella Sistah Kimberlee Doktor . She sent me a wonderful package in the mail. The only thing missing from the picture is the jar of chocolates that were so decorated so crafty. I have them hidden, and forgot to add them to the pic. I am afraid the boys will get into them. They are MINE!! There is so much stuff. A HUGE Bithday party punch with balloon, party hat, candle, present, streamers, and cupcake. There a bag filled with flowers. 2 packages of gems. A Cosmo Cricket Blackboard album, which I can't wait to play with. All of this came with 6 pairs of deco scissors inside a lime green container ( I LOVE HOT PINK AND GREEN!!) Along with the CUTEST card!!! Her cards always amaze me. I thought I didn't ever need pet stuff because I have already scrapped the heck out of my furries. But she made me go out looking for paw ribbon and paw paper to copy this adorable card.

I just can't find the pink paw paper ANYWHERE!!!! Please let me know where to find it.

This round of Bella Sistah's is about over and I am sooo sad. Kim has been such a great sistah to play with. I am going to miss playing with her. I will still be able to stalk her through the group and her blog...yippee!

Hope you all are jealous!!!

Love,

Carrie

Stuff from my Bella Sistah!!

I can't believe it. I came home today and checked the mail and had a package from my Sistah Kimberlee Doktor. As I was getting on the computer to send out a thank you email to her, I noticed she sent out an email announcing her brand new baby boy. I am not a math genius but If I received my package today, and she had baby Matthew yesterday afternoon, she must have either mailed it from the hospital or on the way. LOL!!!
The pic of all of the cards is what I received today in the mail. I absolutely love the card with the ribbon. You can see other cards that Kimberlee made on her blog at http://craftingforsanity.blogspot.com/

The other picture is of the very first package she sent to me. It had a Shoebox swap, and very cute little treat box, hershey kisses (not in pic, I ate them), and adorable card made by her and tons of images.

CONGRATULATIONS KIMBERLEE!!!!! WELCOME BABY MATTY!
