She had a WONDERFUL time ....

WOW i don't even know where to begin .... First , I want to thank each and every one of you for your sweet comments on my previous post... I am truly blessed and feel so fortunate to have so many women to share my experience with because I know sooo many of you are journeying too , it might not be the same but we ALL have a story to tell..... and I LOVE hearing yours !!!!! thanks will never be enough ... my heart is full !!
So without further ado here is a recap of the silver bella adventure... I was only in Omaha for 48 hours ?!!! so it was jam packed full and i still don't feel recovered yet ....LOL!! I don't think my feet even had time to touch the ground and i still feel like i am in the clouds !!! and silly me didn't take any pictures so ALL are borrowed from my friend Tricia and Jeanne !!
The first night I had a wonderful dinner with a bunch of vendor girls including the fab Lisa Kettell, Tricia (vintage bliss), Analise Sledd and her Mom, Christine (Dolly Belle) and Beth Leintz ! What a fab time we had !!!!
The next day I spent the morning antiquing with my buds Christine and Tricia - we had soo much fun at second chance !! which is the best store and I scored tons of vintage lace !!
That night was vendor night , and I only regret not having a photo of me in my apron that my cousin, Julie made (so if anyone took one could you email me pretty please !!!) This was me and my good friend Jeanne !! We got to connect again and had soo much fun together even though we were both soooo tired !!!! I just love her and we have sooo much in common ( miss you girl)!! You must visit her blog to see some more amazing photos of the event!
I met the most amazing girls this past weekend !! I can't even put into words how amazing the event is!!! Teresa is wonderful and puts on one of the best paper arts events around !!!! Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by and said hi or purchased something ... again i am soooo blessed by you and my heart is so full !! I would love to see your pics from Silver Bella if you attended so please leave me a comment !!!! I will post your links below !!!

She is glittering up ...

For a Bella good time...!!!!!. It has been two years since i went to silver bella and really am excited to at least attend as a vendor ... the first time I went I launched my business and so attending this event is a really sentimental thing for me ..and i have been thinking alot lately about where i am going , changes i need to make for me to grow as a person and for my business.... .my journey has been so wonderful this last 2 years full of more excitiment and joy then i could have ever imagined .... I have had to open myself up and put myself out there so many times...and its scary... almost frightening sometimes ... but..... in doing so have met some very WONDERFUL people along the way... I have gotten to journey to foreign lands ..I have gotten to DREAM BIG ... but have also had to BE very BRAVE in my journey .... I have had many ups and downs learning how to run a business like a girl .... But is has been so worthwhile .... I have no idea where my journey will continue to go ... I have lots of HOPES and DREAMS for where I will continue .... but I realize I can't do it alone... I like many other she's out there like to have a lot of control over my everyday business things ... and i am realizing more then ever that is time to LET GO ... time for CHANGE.... time for me to be BRAVE and let DESTINY continue to guide my JOURNEY..... to put my fear aside and HAVE A LITTLE FAITH .... I have been thinking alot lately after reading lots of other she's blogs about my business and opening myself to new friends...new dreams , new paths .... I am not one who does well with change ... I hate it ... and fight it every step of the way .... but i am LEARNing that CHaNgE is GOOD !!!!! and that I love my JOURNEY !!!!!! I am sooooo ready for whatever next BIG thing may come along ... so here I come ... ready or not... ... putting myself out there.. wearing my HEART for the world to SEE ... just remember I am LEARNING TO FLY ...

until next time,
xo
