I'm feeling YUCK, and need some HELP!!

The past couple days, I've been tired, and my head won't stop hurting. I think I'm majorly coming down with a cold, YIKES!
I'm pretty sure I caught something when I was at Ikea the other day, seriously. After that it was all downhill. My head was pounding, even before I left the place. Holy gosh, that place is HUGE, like crazy, HUGE, I felt like I was in an airport terminal, ha ha. So needless to say, I couldn't find my way around, and I had my little one, not a good combination. I really loved it though, but just couldn't figure out how to shop there, if you know what I mean. It was crazy. I need to take a class on shopping there, do any of you have any suggestions? SO anyway, I am convinced that I got sick there, lol. 


So I am asking all of you, to please help me out. I would love to have some great GUEST POSTS, to fill in the days where I just can't get it together. Calling all my sponsors, send me a post on your blog, or shop, I'll FEATURE you ~ don't forget about a giveaway, I'm happy to help out~.


Besides I have been totally behind on getting my house cleaned up, and spring is here, and I'm getting sick, but it's my birthday next week, and I don't want my house to be a mess, my garden is exploding with weeds, and I really want to paint my garage, and then to top it all off, SPRING BREAK is in ONE WEEK. Although I don't think we will be going anywhere, I want to try and get out to so something, and just relax, SOOOO I need some major help for the next 2 weeks.  


** Several of you have asked if I want a NEW tutorial or if you can post something you've already posted. I'm not going to be picky, I am SUPER thankful that you are willing to help, and having said that, of course, I'd LOVE to see something NEW. **


I'd love for you to show off a great project, or tutorial, or even a recipe with my readers. Please let me know what you had in mind.
Here are some dates I would like some help with. Don't worry I wont be MIA for the next 2 weeks, as if I could stay away, but my energy level is just way LOW right now, and I don't want you to forget about me, he he. SO I must keep you entertained with cool stuff, while I take a breather. I will surely post something to say hello, and keep you all up to date with what I'm doing, but this should be fun!!


Oh, and just so I don't confuse you, the link I'm providing is to the GUEST blogs home page, I put it here so you can go say hello, but the description of what they are doing will be found on my blog, on that day. Make sense?? Geez, I hope I'm not complicating things here, lol. Totally happy right now!!

Just leave me a comment here, or email me anytime, and let me know what you want to do. 


Also just a reminder to anyone who owns an Etsy shop. I am always looking for sponsors for my weekly party
AMAZE ME AUGUST
Please contact me if you'd like to sponsor a special giveaway.
Depending on what kind of response I get, I may have something really special coming up. I am almost at 300 followers, that's pretty cool!!!


P.P.P.S I have been thinking about hosting giveaways for all NON ETSY creative, talented, people. You know who you are, always creating, the most awesome fun things. Then you wonder what in the world you will do with it all. I was thinking, sponsor a giveaway on Bella Before and After. I'm sure TONS of people would go gaga over some of that stuff, so make someone happy, and drive more traffic to your blog. 
I'd love to hear your input on this, and of course contact me, RIGHT AWAY, if you are interested, OK....


Thank you everyone, for all your support. 
It means so very much to me!

  4. Hi Bella,
    I know the feeling...ugh. Hope you feel better soon.
    I can help towards the end, maybe on the last Sunday, as I am working on projects for a show, and will save something for then. :)

  5. Aww... poor dear, I hear the IKEA bug is a naughty one. Most sufferers end up with tons of new furniture they are quite unable to assemble ;)
    I could maybe do something that is really new for me and post a family recipe? I've got a wicked Chicken Frikassee up my sleeve, but I have never written up a recipe post.
    Do you want to takecthe risk?
    Get well soon, Bella! x

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and baking. In fact my mother and I have been making cakes for over 30 years. I also love gardening, traveling, and all things crafty. I struggle daily to keep my like organized, along with my never ending battle to keep the house clean. I adore my three kids MOST of the time, and can usually be found doing the mom thing from morning till night. I try to catch a few mommy moments, but those are hard to find in this wonderful life of mine. I am blessed and happy, and am thrilled you stopped by today :)
