the best laid plans ~

i had everything set to go...bella workshop schedule printed out with a very detailed, highlighted, doodled on system for class choices,
links all opened in several tabs, credit card ready...
and the link would N-O-T open!!! believe me, it was not pretty. my visions of glitter and bellas and blissful creativity were quickly dissolving before my eyes, and no amount of refreshing made the magic link appear...then queen teresa jumped in, always so gracious, trying to help. finally, another sweet friend, sadie, offered the magic link, and *poof* all was right in my world!
it was a cliffhanger, but i'm going to silver bella!

and the icing on the cake...i'm going to be a vendor!
when i got the e-mail from teresa i was over the moon thrilled to say the least! hubby and big girl were in the kitchen and i was dancing around...well, hubby says i was jumping, and big girl says i was skipping, anyway i could not be contained! very excited and so thrilled to finally meet more of my wonderful blog friends and customers in person ~ the icing on the cake for sure!

sweet bella dreams ~

Hi Heidi! I'm sorry I will miss you at Silver Bella this year. I've gone to the previous 2, but not this year since I plan on spending ALL my money in Paris in September. Which brings me back to your blog. My friend Dana Smith linked me to your Paris post from May 2007- I love how you wrote about Paris- I can't wait! I also adore the ruffle crepe paper I bought from you a month or so ago!

Oh Heidi! I was flipping through my new Somerset Studios last night and saw one of your gorgeous bird cages that I just adore in an add for an upcoming publication. (I think it was a "Gallery" one?)
So exciting!
