A Special Birthday Blog Hop!

Photobucket

That's right! Today is a very special day! Bella Blvd owner, Stephanie Hunt is having a birthday today!! Here's a little card I made for her with some super fun Bella Blvd. products:

So, Happy Birthday Stephanie! I hope you have a super fantastic day!!!

Even thought it's Stephanie's birthday, we have some gifts for a few of you lucky readers as well! We know how generous and giving Stephanie is, and we know she would never have a fun blog hop, without a few giveaways up for grabs too. So we got permission from Robin, who works alongside Stephanie in the office, to pick TEN lucky winners, who will each receive a Bella Blvd collection. All you need to do to be entered in the random drawings, is to leave Stephanie your birthday wishes in the comment section. You have lots of opportunities to up your chances, since you can leave a comment on each blog you visit, as you go through the blog hop. There are 26 blogs, plus the Bella Blvd blog, for a total of 27 chances to get your name in the pot. We will randomly choose winners, from 10 randomly choosen blogs, and announce them on Friday!

And, if this is your first stop of the morning, be sure to head over to the Bella Blog and start the hop from the beginning. If you're coming here from Suzanne's blog, then your next stop is the super talented Melissa Stinson! Be sure to hop over and leave Steph a little birthday love on the Bella Blog!!

New Bella Blvd. Starts Shipping Today!!!

Photobucket

Today is the big day! The Bella office is all a buzz, with our NEW Mid-Release collections starting to ship out to your favorite LSS's and online retailors! You will want to pick these up as soon as you see them, since they are limited edition collections. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Be sure to stop in at the Bella Blog...the design team has been working hard with these new lines and they will be showcased all week long!!

Fall is such a busy time of year for us, but one of our favorite things to do is going to the pumpkin patch! Miles especially had fun this year since he could walk around and pick out his own pumpkin! He actually spent most of his time with a pumpkin stem that he found on the ground. He walked around tapping every pumpkin he came to with it.

A Fun Weekend!

I've become a bit of a concert addict in the last year and a half and luckily my sweet hubby indulges me. He won't go with me because we have totally different taste in music, but luckily my good friend and neighbor loves rock/metal music just as much as me! We headed down to Tulsa Friday night for the Carnival of Madness tour...some of my favorite bands were playing! I've come to love the smaller venue concerts rather than the large arenas...it's so much more intimate and there really aren't any bad seats...or bad standing areas in Friday night's case. I swore I would never go to a concert where there was standing room only, but there we were...standing for 5 and a half hours, rocking to some amazing music! It was fun! And my feet didn't hurt too bad the next day :) The lineup included Emphatic (which I had never heard of before, but they were really good!), Adelitas Way (love!!), Black Stone Cherry (love!), Alter Bridge (love, love, LOVE!), and headlining was Theory of a Deadman. It was an amazing night, but I'm still trying to catch up on sleep from that night!
