Bella's party companions were: Melanie, Jacqueline (my BIWB partner extraordinaire), Dorothy (Iron Blogger), Peggy, Nancy, Holly, and Hayley (Blogger Phenom). All great friends who listened very patiently over the long, long months waiting for Bella to return. After several delays, including a trip to Michigan to get fixed, she arrived a few weeks ago. I couldn't be more happy with Nick's design and finished art work. I am truly luck to have Bella in my home.
And, a very, very special thanks to Peggy for allowing me to borrow her "extra" KitchenAid while Bella was away. I couldn't have baked a thing or blogged these last few months. Most especially, there would have been NO Xmas cookies for my 30 friends and family. I could not thank Peggy enough...Really. If you bake and you have a KitchenAid, you know I mean. :)
So you see what Bella is holding? Take a close look...It's a cosmopolitan! As the artist, Nick, was putting the finishing touches on Bella, we had to decide what she would be holding. Rose, wooden spoon, glass of wine? Wait, wait! I am known among my friends for making a killer cosmo. It was only fitting that Bella should be enjoying one for eternity, too. And, see that bling...Swarovski crystals baby! Nick's very special gift just for Bella!!
More on Bella later as I'm developing her signature cupcake...Just be patient cuz' you're going to LOVE it!
