For the Record, I {heart} Bella-riffic Fridays...

Hey, everyone!  I am BACK!
DC was awesome but utterly exhausting.  I am still processing how much was accomplished in 3 days there-really only 2 touring DC b/c the last day was spent at Six Flags before we embarked on our overnight ride home. Crazy town!  I am sunburnt, sore, and have a blister the size of a quarter on my right foot- right in the arch.  OW!  I took a pic but DH says it's gross and not to put it on my blog, LOL! Oh well... life is good and what a wonderful, educational, and eye-opening trip.  best part?  The one-on-one time I got to spend w/ my girl.  Loved every minute of that....

I am TOTALLY excited about Bella-riffic Friday today and the PAPER PIECING challenge we have for you today.  Stamping Bella is HOPPIN' and I can't wait to see all the entries from this past week! Paper piecing has always been a fave technique of mine and I couldn't wait to use my 6x6 Sampler pack of "For the Record" paper by Echo Park again.  As soon as I re-visited the yellow plaid I knew exactly which stamp I wanted to work with.  Here's "LuLu's Two Pies":

She is gorgeous, isn't she?  I really love the artistry of the Lulu's and seriously can't believe how long it took me to own one!

Now, did I mention Bella-land was hoppin'?  Today also kicks off our VERY FIRST Book Club discussion on the Forumabella and I cannot WAIT for our live CHAT LATER THIS WEEK~ SO STAY TUNED FOR Details and for when I open up the discussion on the FORUM!  If you can't make the live chat, no worries, you can leave a comment on the discussion forum at ANY time!  TOTALLY excited for this and just hope you can join us at some point!  :)
