My goodness - so many pretty ladies to choose from (my wish list is out of control with 2. I can sense I am not going to be able to resist the urge much longer...
So, to help me feel like I am in good company, a few questions for those who have already endulged...
How many bellas do you own (or how much have you spent on bellas, so I don't feel as bad when I place mine)?
Does anyone just buy one great big block and just use that one (to save more money for bellas than blocks and tacky strip)
What are the Prismacolor marker-like things on the site - any good?
I have three bellas (though, my wishlist is growing..)
i bought one big block from ACMoore. I use it with double-sided tape and my bellas (which i mounted on plain craft foam.. cause i need that padding)
i LOVE prismacolor markers. they're fabulous. you can buy them at most art stores, or online (i got some from dickblick.com - they have good prices)

I have been trying to talk myself down to three bellas to start. Of my list of 28 there were 5 I REALLY wanted, but have never used acrylic blocks before, and I am trying to curb my spending after SU!'s sell-a-bration, but it is difficult - I like them all so much!
Where is MA are you? I grew up about 20 minutes south of Boston and went to undergrad at Tufts in Medford.
I'm up to 20, plus several sentiments, a border, frame, acrylic blocks, sticky stuff, etc. So far I'm up to $200. And, a "fella" for Bella will be arriving soon! Gotta get him, and a few others!

you just need to buy one acrylic block, if you want to save money. i like having a small (for sentiments) a medium (bella size) and a large for other things (like flourishes)... but if you're on a budget, just buy one medium-sized one for sure!

I have four....gardenbella, flowahbella, groovybridabella, feelabella...but I only bought one and traded for one, so its not too bad. I also have Daintybella, JammieBella, Dipolmabella coming to me via Paper Pretties. Its a monthly card class that sends you supplies to make six cards and a bella! I can't wait to receive my first box! Today is the last day to sign up for Aprils box...JammieBella!
How cute. Can you tell me if they come unmounted? If so what do I need? All my stamps are on wooden blocks.
They come as naked rubber...you can buy acrylic blocks on stampingbella's site as well as Tack n peel. It sticks permanently to the block and temporarily via static to the rubber. Or you can just use double sided tape on your acrylic block. Or you can buy EZ mount (cling foam) to stick the rubber to an mount that to your acrylic block. Or you can buy sticky foam and wood blocks and make them into a wood-mounted stamp. Soooo many options!! I use option 1, works great!!

I just bought one bella (teeoffabella), and am waiting for its arrival. I can't wait to see how the acrylic works, since I usually use SU! stamps. I also like the idea of only needing one block to mount.
I bought 3 bellas each with a sentiment. I just ordered 1 more with sentiment. I got one block that fits them all. The shipping is so inexpensive that I can see when I get a litte extra cash here and there to order 1 or 2 at a time.
Also, an image swap is a good way to get a taste of the bellas you don't have. I have done this 2 times already! Fun!
How long does it take to receive a Bella order after you receive an email saying it was shipped? I live in the Pacific Northwest and it shipped on March 29. Any ideas? Patience is not one of my virtues -

It took one week to reach me in Ohio... not exactly the Pacific Northwest - but add on from there...
...and I ain't tellin' how much I spent on Bellas! (DH could theoretically be lurking!) As I remember, I kept the first order to less than 20 items though!

not sure... i read on her blog that she was going out of town for a bit and the orders would be delayed but i don't remember the exact dates. you might check her blog, you can get to it from the bella site.

I live in Portland, and it took exactly one week to receive my Bellas...she shipped them last Monday and they arrived today!! It was a VERY difficult week!! LOL
i love minivanbella; that's one that i ordered. that's probably what i look like when i go out; add a few more kids (my neice and nephew) maybe minus the smile ;)

I ordered 2 about 2 weeks ago but haven't received them yet. Can't wait.
I am already planning my next order will be a "Fella" for my Bellas and also I want Tinkerbella with her wand. And also Cruisabella in her cool car. So many choices.

I have seven Bellas - Emma, Artist, Java, Cake, Presa, Flowa, Imelda. It took 10 business days to reach the NW a few months ago. I have my eye on Chefa and am awaiting more new ones before I order. I have two tween girls who love these also, so we haven't tired of them yet. We've used watercolor crayons and gel pens to color them.
Hi! I just got my first bella order yesterday; minivanabella and teeoffabella. Emily shipped them on Friday (March 30) and I received them on April 2. I live just a little south of the Quad Cities (in Illinois).
I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but I hope to soon!
