Saturday!!
okie dokie! here's the scoop at Bella! We hope you all know about our Crop Night this Saturday! We have a few spots still available! The Crop will take place from 6:30-Midnight on the 13th. We will not be providing a class or project, this is an opportunity for you to come and work on your own creations. We will have tools for you to use if you like and we will be providing a light dinner! It's always a fun time to chat, eat, and create together! The crop is $10.00 or free with a $20.00 purchase the day of the crop! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us!
And....
The food bank is low on canned food this month and we would like to help, but we need your support! This Saturday, December 13th when you spend $10.00 in the store and donate one can of food you can receive $5.00 in Bella Bucks! If you haven't heard about our Bella Bucks promotion, here's what you need to know... Bella Bucks are to be used in January and are good for up to half of your purchase.
We really hope to see you Saturday and help us do something important for our community!
And just for a little crafting inspiration...look at the fun styrofoam Christmas tree we made by using circle punches. Happy Thursday! Hope the Holiday Season finds you well.

Happy Tuesday
Hello again lovely bloggers. We want to inform you of a special offer going on at Bella for the month of December! As you may know, Bella does offer gift cards, but we are sweetening the pot; for every $25.00 spent on a gift card you can receive $5.00 in Bella Bucks! (maybe we should send this to husbands/boyfriends...) The rules for Bella Bucks are: you must purchase the gift cards in December but save the Bella Bucks because they can only be spent during the month of January, for up to half of your total purchase. So...if you have $20.00 worth of purchases, you may use $10.00 worth of Bella Bucks!
Sometimes gift cards are a good answer for those hard to shop for friends and family members.
And...because no blog should go without some Holiday Inspiration...have you checked out Tim Holtz's blog? What a great guy, eh?! He is creating his 12 Tags of Christmas and you can follow along! Bella has the supplies you need to make these fun tags! Make sure to check his blog daily, he offers lots of product give-aways and plenty of techniques and inspiration! oh Tim...
Bella is working hard to give you plenty of Christmas gift ideas as well. We love these:
Making Memories has created these super cute Pre-Designed 2009 Calendars. What a great idea for loved ones that don't live very close. Just add personal photos, and ta dah! Insta-calendar! And it's too cute to boot!
We like Making Memories' Pre-Designed albums as well! What's not to love!? All the pages are coordinating and complete with embellishments. The designs are really cute, and it takes no time at all to have an entire scrapbook album made! It's great for busy moms who just want to have their photos in an album, but don't have the time, or beginning scrapbookers who just want help getting started! There are several different color choices and themes to choose from! Yippee!
We will be back soon with more ideas! and...UPS willing...December's Project of the Month! Thanks for your patience! Happy Tuesday!

Teresa Collins Merchandising Contest Results
For those of you that have been into Bella in the last month, you can't help but notice the Teresa Collins display at the front of the store. The display is our entry into the Teresa Collins Merchandising Contest! And we finally saw the results yesterday! Phew! We entered into the under 6' category and received 2nd place! Unfortunately that means, Teresa won't be coming to Bella to teach a class... but we did get our photos on both the Product Performers website and Teresa's Blog. You can see them here and here.
P.S.... you'll have to scroll to the bottom of the page to find us...
Thanks to everyone for your support!
