Faerie Enchantment

Silver Bella, Part 1, Thursday Nov. 12, 2009!


7:59 am flight from Newark Airport to Omaha, a plane filled w/many bella's waiting to start the artistic magic that was calling them in Omaha, NE. I was one of them.

Every year I treat myself to a new tradition on my birthday, that is Silver Bella, I couldn't think of a more magical and enchanting way to spend my birthday and with such great people.
When we arrived the shuttle scooted us over to the hotel: Embassy Suites, when I discovered my bestest friend and roomate AnnDenise would be arriving later due to an airplane issue. So all of us: Meleen, her family, Marlene, Heather, Deborah and Me went to lunch at Wheatfields, I love that place and started some antiquing at Second Chance.Second Chance
Deb's FindDeborah and I stayed behind and went for a stroll to Joe's for some grungy antiquing, the grungier the better for me, lol.Joe'sWith no roomies yet, Deborah, Heather and I headed for the Froggie Pub across the street and shared a drink or too, and wonderful conversation, while we awaited the arrival of our pals. After some time we headed back to the hotel, and I headed still dressed from 5am, lol to the Glitter Lounge hosted by Karla Nathan and her roomies. It is what I call the party before the party, the VIP Glitter Lounge, lol. Only I was missing my glittery outfit, since it was still in my luggage, lol, but Shea and her mom, let me fix up a bit in their room and we headed to the opening party.

Okay can I say the best cupcakes ever and bubbly in the glitter lounge not to mention such cute ambiance, I had a blast seeing old friends, meeting new and sharing in the laughter and excitement. Then the girls were off to orientation, I was off to get AnnDenise, check in and meet the other girls for dinner at Upscene, such a fab restaurant. When I opened the hotel room, Miss AnnDenise decorated the entire room for my Birthday w/banner, ribbons, gifts, and more, I nearly cried, AnnDenise truly made my birthday that much more magical, I mean she went out of her way, even after traveling all day, to bring a surprise to me, a true and genuine friend, I love her dearly and her talent continues to excite me.My Bday Surprise-AnnDenise
