The lovely and creative Jennifer Ramos of Made by Girl asked me to share seven things that I loved this month, so click on over and check out my post on Made By Girl! Thanks again Jen for the invite!
Hi Creative People! Ok, first let me apologize for being m.i.a. for the past week…sorry. I have been SO VERY tired and sluggish because I’m Pregnant with a second bundle of joy! YAY! 11 weeks to be exact, and my expected due date is May 17th, 2009. I have been wanting to post , but everytime I think I am going to post, all I ended up doing was falling asleep:) Nevertheless, I am thinking that my energy level is coming back, because I have been sleeping a lot less, and feel a bit less nauseaus in the morning. So, that’s where I have been in a nutshell, and I should be back to posting regularly either tonight or tomorrow, so see you soon & feel free to visualize a little girl for us! 
Hi everybody. I just wanted to pop in to let you all know that I am still here. I decided to take this week off to catch up on some serious organizing and scheduling. With so many things on my wish list of things to do, it is a necessity that I have as much order possible around me so that I can achieve them with a clear mind. So I have devoted this week to making our little ablode feel fresh, clean, and pretty as well as to finalize a decent daily schedule for myself, our home, and our little ones homeschooling adventures!
So I will be back here Monday with some lovely posts, a few interviews, and hopefully a post all about organizing. YAY! Okay, I am signing off now and I hope you all have a wonderful week and upcoming weekend. Wish me luck with organizing…it’s a never ending task!
Oooh…my first tag! Trudi from Deco Detective has tagged me along with some other fellow bloggers, so here are my answers! How fun!
Ten years ago: Oh geez, must I answer? Ok… I was just graduating High School and I worked at a home decor fabric store called “Frugal Fabrics” & alsonin the mall at a furniture company called “This End Up Furniture”(the best part of that job was setting up little vignettes in the store), & getting ready to go off to study Interior Design at the Savannah College of Art & Design!
Five things in today’s “To Do” list: Only 5 you say…1) Purchase a cute phone book that will be dedicated to friends only 2) Continue developing our sons homeschooling blog 3) Order Lena Corwins new book(actually I just ordered it…yay!) 4) Reply to e-mails 5) Finish sketching out ideas for the little ones room! 6.) Send Out Interviews, 7.) Dust 8.) Simplify my life..LOL…and the list goes on and on (hey I tried to do just 5)
Snacks I enjoy: homemade chocolate chip cookies with almond milk, mangoes, homemade tea & iced honey water, homemade chai, sun chips, chocolate soy pudding, red apples, loose granola.
Things I would Do If I Were a Millionaire: Purchase a home in India or Morocco where I would have my own textile line & also host craft retreats. Finally create my own clothing and decor line, Start a foundation that bonds the youth with creativity, buy my dream bungalow home outfitted with the loveliest of Moroccan, shabby chic, and culturally inspired decor and invite all of my friends over for cupcakes, champagne, and arts & crafts, and have them stay in their very own getaway suite, publish the many childrens books that I have written and have stashed away (ok, I might need a tad bit more than a million:)
Places I Have Lived: Mobile, Alabama, & Duluth, Norcross, Savannah(I do miss it so), Macon, & Augusta, Georgia(I’m a southern gal).

Hi everybody! I just wanted to say how ecstatic I am about finally getting JuBella up. It has been a long time coming, as I just didn’t feel creatively compelled to launch it when we originally planned. Nevertheless, I wanted to let you all know that I have lots & lots of fabulous interviews to post soon so keep a lookout for that. I will also be posting my first DIY project soon. Yay! So, here I am, finally apart of the creative blogosphere. My style is eclectic, so please bare with me:). Well, I suppose that’s all for now. I just wanted to peek around the corner to let you know that I am here. I hope every little visit or click that you may stumble upon here in my little online abode brings you lots of joy, comfort, and creative inspiration! I will be right back with a fresh new post!
