I LOVE it when I get the box with all my goodies in it! Stephanie is so generous with her product and give us so much that it is near impossible to use it all, sooooooooo, I decided to share!! Yippie!!<br /><br />Today, I am showing you some pictures of projects I've created for the <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/">Bella Blvd</a>. CHA booth. I will showcase the <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2011/07/introducing-too-cute-to-spook.html">Too Cute To Spook</a> line and <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2011/07/introducing-finally-fall-collection.html">Finally Fall line</a>. Stop on back tomorrow for another chance to win a whole bunch of Christmas Wishes!!!!<br /><br />Don't you just love this witch's boot???? I saw these boots all custom painted and with such cool decorations and detail, and decided I had to have one. I contacted the person that made them and asked if I could purchase one completely bare. She agreed, and within a few days I had a naked paper mache witch's boot. I took it from there and painted it and decorated it with the Bella Too Cute to Spook line. It was a bit of a challenge since the boot is not flat. It was a bit difficult getting all the paper placed without it bubbling up. But all in all, I was very happy with the result! I made a couple other projects using this line, but you'll just have to come on back to check it out!!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629572231472308898" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0ELmHMfzh44/TiBCHiZPYqI/AAAAAAAAA4I/ePS4tH6EVyM/s320/IMG_7859.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629571184195033346" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYHNuqclqPQ/TiBBKk-4WQI/AAAAAAAAA3o/pqm6shMg_9Y/s320/IMG_7855.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629572215744039842" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PbA3dU9wtgc/TiBCGnzVC6I/AAAAAAAAA4A/sJlLbXeZqFw/s320/IMG_7858.JPG" /><br /><br />This layout is on my beautiful cousin, Athena. Can you believe she is only eleven???? WOW! I just love these pics of her, and it was so easy using the Finally Fall line with so much to choose from!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 317px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629571193643561218" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7hQXUfbx68/TiBBLILlcQI/AAAAAAAAA3w/apNYoOfHXDg/s320/IMG_7860.JPG" /><br />Here is a little wine bottle box I created. I love all these paper mache products that are available now, and you can bet our store will soon be stocking them!!

There are so many amazing projects to create!! Moving on with the Cricut team up, below is a little Wedding Planner I made for my daughters up-coming wedding. I made it out of a file folder and Bella Sophisticates line. Once folded, the folder created four pockets for me to put the tags into. On each tag is a wedding fact with different categories on each tag. It turned out cuter than I expected and was so much fun to make! Keep checking back for more ideas!!</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626578477584099986" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pJAGdAW_F1A/ThWfUIFCKpI/AAAAAAAAA14/v89Bru31Hqc/s320/bb1.bmp" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 210px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626578481934363410" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8CqYwJkxvZQ/ThWfUYSN6xI/AAAAAAAAA2A/MNnSBu9Bedo/s320/bb2.bmp" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626578490012625730" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jY0TZ5vqK-A/ThWfU2YOa0I/AAAAAAAAA2I/hdhvjoKuaBw/s320/bb3.bmp" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626578497710088050" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uYHLuSgTSc4/ThWfVTDcX3I/AAAAAAAAA2Q/JWBs-eIKHME/s320/bb4.bmp" /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-buYcKDKPKhk/ThWfVmGQ6VI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/_kzFNOkGRMU/s1600/bb5.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626578502822193490" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-buYcKDKPKhk/ThWfVmGQ6VI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/_kzFNOkGRMU/s320/bb5.bmp" /></a>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791138446629444292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583642171713405434.post-89569858710686065522011-07-06T09:34:00.002-05:002011-07-06T09:44:13.194-05:00Provo Projects!!<div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">These projects were so much fun to make, and I learned so many new techniques!!

For those of you that may not know what a team up is, it's when two companies work together and combine their products to create something unique. So, for this team up, Bella was given Cricut product and Cricut was given Bella product. Then the designers of both companies get to work. One of the great benefits of being a Bella Blvd Artista is all the wonderful product you receive to create with, especially the product you wouldn't typically buy or use. Not that I don't like the product, but sometimes I just don't know what to do with it. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">I have to admit, I have never used a Cricut before this assignment, but I've always loved what other people have created with it. It always seemed a little too putzy for me. For this team up, I used the Cricut Expression, the embossing folders for the Cuttlebug, and a quilling tool. I had so much fun, and I was amazed at just how simple it was to use. I have to say, my personal favorite was the embossing folders. I couldn't believe how it changed the whole look of the cardstock and how easy and reasonable this technique was. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">All of the Artista's had many projects to create for this team up - and all of them will be featured on the <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/">Bella Blog</a> all this week, thru Saturday. If you feel like it, stop by the Cricut site <a href="http://cricutblog.org/">here </a>and see what their design team has been up to. Be sure you come back and check out my creations! </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rwvE9m4Uvvo/ThHbsA-uY9I/AAAAAAAAA1Y/Li_k-YxFreY/s1600/cri.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 238px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625518958786274258" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rwvE9m4Uvvo/ThHbsA-uY9I/AAAAAAAAA1Y/Li_k-YxFreY/s320/cri.bmp" /></a> Day One: Check out this super adorable 4th of July Wand that <a href="http://thedesperatescrapper.blogspot.com/">Sheri Feypel</a> made - she's so creative! <br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J3VAMomv_X4/ThHbrsjF0bI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/dABgKbPtcR8/s1600/cri%2B2.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625518953301660082" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J3VAMomv_X4/ThHbrsjF0bI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/dABgKbPtcR8/s320/cri%2B2.bmp" /></a><br /></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791138446629444292noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583642171713405434.post-91495735110334977482011-07-02T15:07:00.004-05:002011-07-02T15:19:29.624-05:00Final day of Team UP!!!<div align="center">It's the final day of the Maya Road and Bella Blvd. team up.

Within the first year, I had met and became friends with my neighbor, Penny, who lived across the street. We pretty much became instant friends with her and her family. Her son, Michael, and our daughter, Alyssa, became best friends and continued to be throughout their childhoods and even into adulthood. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Penny and I had a lot of the same interests and hobbies and still do. If I ever need anything, anytime, no matter what or when, Penny is always there. She's such a trooper, more so than I, and is always willing and able to do anything. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">I've trusted her completely with with many real life moments, both good and bad, and many secrets. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">The past few years Penny has had a tough time, and yet, she has overcome so much. I am so very proud of her and I continue to be inspired by her and admire her deeply. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">As of this coming weekend, Penny will no longer be my neighbor. She has made a very brave decision to move on and out on her own. I helped her a bit tonight, and plan to help her more over the next few days. This is so small and minute in comparison to what she has done for me over the years. I will truly miss my neighbor, and I know it will take a bit of getting used to, but I guess this gives us an excuse to have more "girls nights". </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">I have many friends, but few of them like Penny. She is truly a gift and I feel blessed to have her in my life. Thank you, my friend, for all that you've done for me and continue to do every day. I have no doubt you will be very happy and will continue to inspire me with your strength, positive attitude, and courage. Love you tons!!!</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MIBxzz3spYI/TgqnosNm1qI/AAAAAAAAAzw/pttugJOGvjw/s1600/penny.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623491402230322850" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MIBxzz3spYI/TgqnosNm1qI/AAAAAAAAAzw/pttugJOGvjw/s320/penny.JPG" /></a> Penny sitting out on her new balcony at her new patio furniture.</div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791138446629444292noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583642171713405434.post-25057260376920181192011-05-17T22:39:00.009-05:002011-05-17T23:10:14.358-05:00Featured Bella Projects!I have been featured several times lately at the Bella Blvd Studio Blog. I thought I'd share a little of what I've created for different challenges. Here's a layout that I had to do using the words "Love, Mom" Check the post out <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2011/05/nsd-85-giveaway-day-keep-reading.html">here</a>!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607898266374761634" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w81gTLT3ess/TdNBwufL7KI/AAAAAAAAAzU/fwV0wvnYIdk/s320/love%2Bmom.bmp" />Another layout I had to do was this one. The challenge was to scrapbook about myself as a mom. Here's what I decided to do. Check out the rest <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2011/05/1-challenge-2-artistas.html">here</a>!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 318px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607899953710488434" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TG_Fy4AqHqU/TdNDS8TX23I/AAAAAAAAAzc/irttEppwRV8/s320/scrap%2Bmyself.bmp" />This layout was posted today. I had to make a project using a new technique, and embossing Bella's alphabets was what I chose to do. See the tutorial <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2011/05/altering-your-sticker-letters.html">here</a>!

I absolutely consider it to be a great honor to design for such a wonderful company and Stephanie, the owner/designer. The paper lines are my true favorite and are so incredibly easy to work with. I just can't get enough of it! Thanks so much Stephanie for this opportunity!

Those that know me, know that this is not my most favorite thing to do. Not that I don't like the people or even like to teach, because I really do. I just have a difficult time with the many different levels of scrapbooking there are amongst the students. My eyes can't be everywhere, and so, the people that choose to move ahead often make mistakes before I can get to them. Then, they get upset when they do something wrong. Uggg. I have no patience for this! So, another employee, Debbie, and I came up with an idea, since she loves to teach. I design and cut the kits for the classes, and she teaches them!!!<br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>I love this idea because there is no pressure for me!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is a recent class that we did last week.

We stayed in a suite at The Tundra Inn, which was a couple blocks from Lambeau. We had an absolute blast!! After the Packers won, we high-tailed it over to Lambeau and celebrated along with the thousands of other people. It was quite and experience being right in there with the crowd. On Monday, we all went back to Lambeau to take a tour of the stadium and visit the Hall of Fame...Awesome!! Here's a few pics!</p><p align="center">Alyssa before the game<br /></p><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RQsicymeatg/TViwXk7eO-I/AAAAAAAAAxE/EiR0yhpzSlA/s1600/photo10.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573398457967590370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RQsicymeatg/TViwXk7eO-I/AAAAAAAAAxE/EiR0yhpzSlA/s320/photo10.jpg" /></a> Sue, during the game...she had quite a fan club, especially when she started the "Wave".

Angie and I are the proud owners of </span><a href="http://www.scrapbook-store.com/"><span style="color:#ff6666;">The Scrapbook Store</span></a><span style="color:#993300;">, in Greenfield, WI. For those of you that may not know, The Scrapbook Store has been in business since 1996 and has had one owner and 3 different locations (4, if you include the 2nd store in Germantown, WI). Lee Friske, the owner, at least the owner up until last Friday, is retiring. Angie and I just couldn't bear to see the store close, so it will be re-opening by the end of October at a new location, 4466 South 108th Street, Greenfield, WI! We are so excited about this move and change! We will be re-vamping the store (so-to-speak), focusing on krops and special events, while carrying the latest and greatest product. We even have a few new ideas up our sleeves. I will soon be posting a link to our new blog, so you can track the progress along with us!! Stay tuned for more info!!!<br /></span><br /><div><span style="color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993300;">On A different note, my friend, Dawn, opened an Etsy shop.

That is from the blogging world anyway! I've been super-busy with a few projects which has allowed little to no blogging time. One project I can't officially mention yet. I've never been a superstitious person before, but for some reason, I feel the need to wait a bit longer before mentioning it. Some of you that know me, know what I am referring to, and I'm really hoping to announce the big news this week sometime. </span><br /><span style="color:#993300;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color:#993300;"></span><div><span style="color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993300;">The other little project keeping me extremely busy lately has to do with my daycare. Kids come into the daycare and before you know it four or five years pass by and they are off to school. This is a little sad for me, to think that all their little friendships they have made can come to an end after spending more waking hours with each other even over their parents in most cases. So...way back when, I decided to get these cuties back together with their friends at least once a year during our "Backyard Campouts". </span></div><div><span style="color:#993300;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993300;">Each year the groups that grew up together (usually 6 or 7 in a group), get together at my home and we have tons of games, always different, with a few traditional things thrown in such as water balloon fights, silly string fights, and scavenger hunts. The kids really enjoy this, and I have to say, I love listening to them all reminisce about the past years they've spent together.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993300;">I leave it up to the oldest in each group to end the campouts, which go well into their high school years. This year I have one coming to an end and I have to say, it is very bitter-sweet. I know we'll keep in touch in other ways, but the campouts are such a huge part of keeping in touch. This particular group happens to be the only group that is all boys. That's right, 6 guys and 2 girls in one tent (Me and Carole), eating beef jerky and telling spooky stories (my personal favorite is Brett's <em>Bloody Fingers </em>which he tells every year)! The tent has gotten smaller and smaller through the years and maybe even a little smellier as the years past, but I still love it!!! </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993300;">Here's a picture of the little guys taken 10 years ago:<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 198px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508407732026543858" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/THHLpcF1DvI/AAAAAAAAAvE/CyGGJhtD5jk/s320/kids+campout.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993300;">Here is Brett, Joe, Alec, Nicholas, Brandyn, and Ethan</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#993300;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#993300;">And here are the big guys now at our "Survivor" campout this past weekend:</span></div><div></div><br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508407737091963170" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/THHLpu9hOSI/AAAAAAAAAvM/MUSvCW7eBxY/s320/CIMG9795.JPG" /> <p align="center"><span style="color:#993300;">Jordan (he joined us about 6 years ago), Brett (he's about 6' and 230 lbs), Alec, Ethan, Joe and Brandyn</span></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#993300;">The end of an era...tear tear...love all you guys!!</span></p>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791138446629444292noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583642171713405434.post-41731854031080494172010-07-29T21:26:00.004-05:002010-07-29T21:35:58.803-05:00Final layouts for CHA<span style="color:#993300;">Here are my final layouts that I did for <a href="http://www.bellablvd.net/"><span style="color:#ff6666;">Bella</span></a> at CHA. The first layout is of Nicholas and Gracie. She adores him, and he usually returns the affection even though it may not look that way in this picture. I used the new Lovey Dovey line...so stinkin' cute!</span> <span style="color:#993300;">(sorry for the glares)</span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFI4nPf3mZI/AAAAAAAAAu8/8ZJtyWhiM_0/s1600/IMG_6602.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499520341799049618" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFI4nPf3mZI/AAAAAAAAAu8/8ZJtyWhiM_0/s320/IMG_6602.JPG" /></a> <span style="color:#993300;">This next line is completed using the Hello Beautiful line. I thought I was going to have the most difficulties using this line, but to my surprise, it turns out to be one of my favorites! This is a layout of my nephew, Ean and his buddy, Parker. They are like two peas in a pod. Stop back tomorrow for a couple altered projects.</span><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFI4matl9JI/AAAAAAAAAu0/-uD3lvYH-f4/s1600/IMG_6595.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499520327629534354" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFI4matl9JI/AAAAAAAAAu0/-uD3lvYH-f4/s320/IMG_6595.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFI4mBC645I/AAAAAAAAAus/Go-8Y1iT6sU/s1600/BETHS_SIGNATURE.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 92px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499520320739664786" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFI4mBC645I/AAAAAAAAAus/Go-8Y1iT6sU/s320/BETHS_SIGNATURE.jpg" /></a> </div></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791138446629444292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583642171713405434.post-15119723232974407192010-07-28T23:27:00.005-05:002010-07-28T23:41:27.207-05:00CHA Layouts - day 2<span style="color:#993300;">The second day of CHA came to an end. I can't tell you all the fun inspiration I saw at the show and I have over 600 pictures to proove it. I just love looking at all the new product and can't wait to get my hands on it all!!</span><br /><span style="color:#993300;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993300;">Below are two more layouts I did for <a href="http://www.bellablvd.net/"><span style="color:#ff6666;">Bella Blvd</span></a>. The first layout is of my niece, Taylor, using Socialite. The colors in this line are amazing and so classy...love it!</span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFEDlUTO94I/AAAAAAAAAuk/8UJFZtnyU6M/s1600/IMG_6601.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 319px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499180559635511170" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFEDlUTO94I/AAAAAAAAAuk/8UJFZtnyU6M/s320/IMG_6601.JPG" /></a><span style="color:#993300;"> This next line was done using One Fall Day. This is of my daughter, Alyssa, and her friend, Brittney at the pumpkin farm. There are so many patterns to choose from. I had a difficult time deciding what papers to use. It's a little busy, but I like it. See you tomorrow for a couple more layouts!</span><br /><div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFEDbsLt9TI/AAAAAAAAAuU/dXLBiDoFASY/s1600/IMG_6597.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 317px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499180394247746866" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFEDbsLt9TI/AAAAAAAAAuU/dXLBiDoFASY/s320/IMG_6597.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFEDbGZ3qNI/AAAAAAAAAuM/EcIxtTWpm2g/s1600/BETHS_SIGNATURE.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 92px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499180384106555602" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZgUvbtLLg8/TFEDbGZ3qNI/AAAAAAAAAuM/EcIxtTWpm2g/s320/BETHS_SIGNATURE.jpg" /></a> </div></div></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791138446629444292noreply@blogger.com1
