Bella Art is a really pretty and friendly store located in Johnston RI.

The Comfort In  was only about 20 minutes away so I arrived a little after the store opened. But I still was dragging in supplies thirty minutes later. I just want to show it all! Scotty was parked on the side of a restaurant  so I was able to maintain my pull through streak and not have to back up. Whew.

The class that we did today was the Chunky Book, a mini-book made with the Square Box Sizzix die. So we started to work…

Ta da! What a beautiful job they did on the chunky books! There was one person in class that called in sick to work so she could come so she didn’t appear in some of the Facebook pics  to protect her identity 🙂 her secret is safe with us!

Scotty and I felt like movie stars with everyone posing and getting pics around the camper.

I finally got to meet my friend Amanda Youkilis. We keep missing each other when I am in town so Amanda finished a night shift and drove all the way so she could come and meet me. Love when I can  put a face to the name!

Here my new friends are taking a pic of me at the same time I am taking one of them!

After class I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Siera’s with Maryanne, Sarah and Annie-Lou- perfect way to end a fun day. Rhode Island folks were very friendly and helpful and I hope I can come back some time!

 There was a big storm rolling in so I jumped in Big Daddy and got moving to the next spot- Stafford Springs and the Inspiration Station. Tonight’s lodging was a disappointing Motel 6. Really kind of creepy. But I am up and out of here by 9 so it’s only for a little bit. Time to get some beauty rest. See you tomorrow for another #papertrail adventure!
