Hiya cruising sistahs!
I know you haven't heard from me in a looooong time.. It is now my turn to tell you a little bit about what is going on in Bellaland regarding the upcoming cruise! We are SOOOO excited... and I mean SOOOOOO excited over here. We have created production lines preparing for the cards.. we have goodies and papers and stamps everywhere...
wait til you see your goodie bags from all 3 companies! Not to be beaten. We have created a wonderful array of stamps which you will "flip" over (we hope) and Nicky's projects for the cards are absolutely incredible. She has outdone herself (if possible)!
Here are a few pictures of what is happening here at bellaland including preparation for the classes on the cruise, goodies, stamps..
well, just EVERYTHING!
Now I was told by Nichole and Gina that I can tell you a little bit about the most amazing activity we thought up for the cruise. This is going to be amazingly fun and hopefully you will love this idea as much as we do. We have been racking our brains trying to figure out what we should do as a "COMBINED" project that will bring all the cruising sistahs even closer together :). We will be uniting and providing a week long project which will take place on the cruise. It is going to be called the Stamp and Cruise Bead Bonanza...(name may be changed..LOL).. So basically on the first night of the meet and greet we will present you with a ball chain necklace and a name tag for you to embellish.. you will also be given a "starter pack" of beads... as the week progresses, throughout classes, on the deck, at mealtime, off the ship.. you will have opportunities to "earn" beads.. these beads in turn will earn lots of prizes at the end of the cruise as well as little prizes throughout the week! Now this is a good hint.. learn as much as you can from the 4 hostesses.. through our blogs, our banter, our chitchat.. another intention of ours on the cruise is to "unite"
everyone and just try to get to know eachother a little better.. after all, we are all here for the same reason! to meet ME of course..
(LOL.. just kiddinK).. so if you are sitting next to someone you don't know.. why not ask their names, a little about them etc.. that information may earn you a bead!! (hint hint)... Another project we would like to introduce in conjunction with the bead bonanza is a bead/ charm swap. Why not bring something from your home town and trade.. a favorite symbol, a hangtag made by you that has a hole and will fit on this chain? shrinky dinks with a hole? charms? ANYTHING.. cuz ya nevah know... maybe ORIGINALITY of a necklace will earn some extra beads! Games will be introduced and we are Sure to have a BEADING BLAST! At least I know I will :).
So get your beading caps on.. ahem, I mean THINKING caps on... read the above post between the lines, and you are sure to make this bead bonanza the most fun!
So won't you join the bead/charm swap?
We are so excited
and we just can't hide it
we're about to lose control and we think we like it~ pointer sisters
yes, you may have to memorize that song to earn a bead..LOL
Mwah to da sistahs who will be saiiiilinnnngg and swappping and learning about their new friends (oh and song lyrics)
Em
