Design Team News ;)

    Congrats to Jessica Turner!  We are all so excited to have you on board!  And, don't you just hate seeing and hearing yourself on video?   Jessica was such a sport and I was such a dork.  LOL.  Anyway, more DT news to come as soon as the website is complete.  We are almost there!  Oh, and just in case you didn't know, what you see on the ShelleyBelle site right now is not even remotely close to the finished product!  Happy Monday!

Very Important Kit Update

I am here.  It has been a long week coming home from vacation (and two root canals!) and only to find out that our last product for the kit this month has been delayed at the manufacturer (again!).  So, today I had to make an executive decision for all of us.  The one product that is missing are the Scenic Route BRAND NEW Flourish clear acrylic stamps that are in the main kit.  So, I received this email from my Scenic Route rep today:

"We just heard back from our manufacturer about an hour ago.  The stamps
will be in our hands Tuesday the 29th.  If you are still "a go" - I have
discussed this with Ms. L (head hocho) already and the warehouse is aware of this as
well - that when the stamps come in, we will package yours first and send
them out 2nd day because you need to get them out as well.  The good news
is that you're giving your customers not only a product that is new, but
is also hot."

OK, so I hope that you all understand that I just had to say "YES!  Send them!"  On the down side, the kits will be delayed until the very end of the month.  We normally ship at the end of the month, but this is really the end of the month!  I hope that you are not disappointed, but I do try to maintain new and exciting things in our kits and this is the problem that you run into at times.  If you do not wish to wait on this shipment then please email me and I'll substitute something of the same value (but you won't get the really stinkin' cute stamps though!).  LOL.
Thanks for hanging with us. 

Also, I've got some great DT news to share.  I may have to go back and look at the posts again from the "Where is Michelle" video, but I think that Becky P. won.  I was indeed at the Gaylord in Nashville hanging out with a ton of scrapbookers and catching up with lot's of old friend's in the industry.  Becky, we'll add something special to your kit this month. :)

Happy Friday!

Hi.

   
Okay, GO!  (There might be something free involved here...hint, hint)

Double points for naming this person. ;)

Dear Accountant...

I know that I have done a bad thing, but you do know how much I truly love the 7 Gypsies line of products, don't you?  Yes, I know, I went a bit overboard this month, but I love my customer's and so, well, I felt like they needed this.  I didn't do it for me (although I had best get a kit this month!).  I did it for them. ;)  See how easy it is for me to justify buying all that darn newly released scrapbook stuff?  Hehe.  And, yes, I will be writing the same letter next month as I have come undone.  Stop me now!  OK, wait, don't stop me...I like having all the new stuff...

So, without further apology here are the contents of the April Main kit:

So, let me know how I did...

Three more of the K & Co. ornate tags included in this month's kit.
If you are interested in the Add-On then please email here as it is not on the site yet.  Cost for this kit is $18.50. 

OK, well, Sean is trying to go to sleep and can't because my mouse is clicking so loud...whine, whine, whine....oh, and he just said that I type too loud, too.  MAKES ME WANT TO TYPE EVEN LOUDER JUST TO ANNOY HIM.  LOL.  I mean, come on, he does have a job to go to tomorrow, right.  Me...well, obviously I just sit at home with two little kiddos and eat bon-bons.  Ha.

Happy Tuesday!

Congrats Sue B!

You were the first to post this:

Could it be 7 Gypsies Notting Hill?

I have my fingers and toes crossed.

Sue B.

You give great clues and it helps to be a J. Roberts fan  :)

Congrats, Sue B!  You'll have something fun added to your kit this month!
Happy Sunday!

EDITED (Again!): What's your guess?

**SECOND EDIT (LOL):   

Here's another hint:

J. Roberts starred in a movie that took place in the country of England...figure that out and you've got it!!!  Easy breezy!  If no winner by 6pm tomorrow (EST) then I'll just come up with a new contest!  Hehe.  Oh, and just a bit of useless trivia...J. Roberts is actually from my home state of GA.  Oh, yeah, and the line that you are trying to figure out is brand spankin' new.  I really wanna give something away!

**EDITED:  First two comments=no, try again.  LOL.  You might have to dig a little for this one. 

So, the April goodies are soon to arrive and I thought that it would be fun to do a bit of a contest to discover what line we are using this month...
Today's hint: J. Roberts
Now, you didn't think that I would just give it to you, did you? 
OK, ready, set.....GO!  First one to post the correct answer wins something. 

Attn: cindym...did u get your goodies in the mail?

Ta ta...off to play tennis if the rain holds off!

I am crazy

Caught this little dude sitting in his brother's walker today.  Brought back lot's of memories of when it was HIS walker only a year or so ago.  He's growing up way too fast.  Way too fast! 
Jackapoo
Then, not two seconds later, I found littlest dude in his big brother's tent.

He had crawled into it while I took a potty break.  Scared me to death to come out of the bathroom and no Eli crawling around.  Holy moly. Speaking of crawling, my life will never be the same again.  Therefore, I am crazy trying to keep up with two very fast and swift little guys.  Sean has been out of town on a business trip so it has been quite interesting around here.  He is home tonight. ;)

Two little sets of feet sticking out from under the tent.  Adore those little toes and feet!

I am so behind on work that it is not even funny.   Most of the kit goodies are mid-transit and I'll try to have a peek up for you soon.  It is GOOD stuff! 

As far as DT news goes, I have not forgotten.  There was a bit of a hiccup so hang tight, folks.

Well, that is all for tonight.  I'm drained and need some serious shut-eye.  Happy Thursday!
