My Bellas are Here!!

Good evening! What a great day today was! The best part of it was that my Bellas came in the mail! I was so surprised because it didn't seem to take very long, especially since they shipped only last Friday. This is the build-a-bindah that I ordered, and I am so glad that I did because it is custom size and the protectors only fit in this binder, not the standard type. It is sooo cute! I can't wait to play with all of my new bellas and fellas!

I thought I'd share the gift I made for Katie for her birthday. I wanted to do a spa theme since we just graduated college and finished student teaching and could probably use some down time with relaxation. I picked my favorite scent from Bath and Body Works, Moonlight Path. It includes shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bubble bath, body wash, bar soap, body splash, loofah, pumice stone, bath salts, and a bubble bella door hanger. She liked it a lot, but I think I was more excited to give it to her!! Happy Birthday Katie!

Lastly, this is my latest creation that I made tonight, for a technique ATC swap I am in on SCS that my friend Michele hosts. The technique this month is Dazzling Diamond Dust. I used my new set, Pick a Petal, which was so fun! The only hard part was cutting out 36 flowers and then embossing them with Dazzling Diamonds!! I must tell you about my little problem with Embossing Powder. No matter what I am applying it to, or where, I seem to get it all over me! I just can not control the stuff and have it all over the place. Needless to say, right now I am covered with glitter. I even tried putting the clear ep in a big container to control it, but I still get it all over me, the floor and my desk. Just ask Sara, she is always there to witness it!
