Gifts of Love...

Once again, Im so happy to say what wonderful friends I have made through doing what I love.  Leah of Sookie Says (one of my current sponsors) sent me the sweetest gift just because.  Well, really the note said as a congrats on getting our house!  Super fun to get a house warming gift that is for me, he he.  Thank Leah!!!  I adore it so much.  Not only is this girl beautiful & sweet, she is alot like me when it comes to details, just look at her packaging, adorable!  She currently only sells these on her facebook, but soon will have them up in her etsy shop as well.



Making friends along the way in this business has been one of the most rewarding things to me.  Its not just 'what' i create, but its 'who' it goes to.  I love knowing my work goes into some of the coolest homes around the globe.  YOU GUYS are what makes the world of VIOLET BELLA go round!

PEACE,
Laura


Inspired by Moorea Seal...

 After reading Moorea's post the other day on the simple reason she paints her nails, I was very inspired.  Not just to paint my nails, but the lovely little meaning behind it.  Read her post here to find out why.  Its a good little read and oh so worth it.

Im honored to be sponsoring Moorea Seal this month.  Ever since I found her blog, Ive been enamored with her cute and quirky personality on her vlogs, her beautiful products and product photography, her real and honest posts,  & listening to her music videos.  One talented, sweet lady!

The past few days...

The last two days weve had dr. appointments for James.  He got his stitches taken out!  So now I am no longer the bride of Frankenstein :)  ha ha, he called me that the other day!  And he had a checkup with his neurologist, which we do after every seizure.  They changed his medicine a bit again.  He is still doing well since it happened.  We just need to stay as calm as possible during this whole moving transition b/c they are brought on by stress, and I must say, its stressful!  But one day at a time, well get there.


I was having one of those 'girl' days where I changed my whole outfit like three times.  And of course ended up wearing jeans, a tee shirt and cons!  Always the go-to when Im feeling that way.  My bangs were almost covering my eyes!  But we got haircuts today, yay!

While sitting in the doctors waiting room I found the cutest backyard built just for privacy with plants!  I love it so much.  I cant wait to save enough money to really do cool things to our very own yard!  Ive always wanted to landscape and really garden, so it is now my season in life to do just that!

James requested chocolate ice milk that night, so I made him some with our cute heart ice cubes!  Doesnt that just make it a million times better?  Like chocolate milk is not great enough on its own!

Then I sat on the kitchen floor, sorted through my art and photography magazines, and read my Ready Made mag that Red Velvet is featured in.  I was so excited when Elsie announced they would be in there on her blog A Beautiful Mess b/c I subscribe to that magazine!  Its such a sweet article too, I wish so badly I could visit their wonderful shop!

And I painted my nails.  I bought new polish while we were grocery shopping just so I could.  And there is a REASON behind it, which I will share later :)

Im blogging during my quick lunch break, then back to mega cleaning and packing!!!

PEACE,

A Handout of Love...

Time for a few shout outs to some wonderful people.  Have you noticed Im all about spreading the love this month!  So much good stuff to share from other people.


First up is the my lovely sponsor Twirl Design Studio.  She just came out with some new spring hats and i just love how she accessorized them with feathers, so adorable!

And Laura from Ooh Pretty Shiny Over There wrote the sweetest things about me over on her blog!

And Angela from Angela's Eyes also did!  So much love for each other going around this place!  Thank you girls, xo.

My bestie Shelley wore her custom doily vest to the beach this past weekend.  Goodness she is so beautiful.

And I forgot to mention, that while I was away last weekend, James made it to the front page of etsy with his Skyline Fever shop for the first time!!!  So exciting!  And btw, he is having a 15% off the entire store sale right now, just use the code SKYLINE15 to receive the discount.

The real countdown begins on the house, ONE WEEK!
