bellazoo

I am an illustrator, designer, photographer and run a boutique design studio. I enjoy all things beautiful hence the name "Bella". I am currently workign on a new range of plush toys i hope to launch them soon before the end of the year. I love supporting other crafters and artists.

I am married to a very talented designer (Michael) and think he is fricken awesome!

I own five extraordinary dogs...Indie, Dakota, Jessie, Roxy and Bentley. They sleep on their backs and think they are human.Then there is talented Samson my affection cat.

I am a bit of an activist for all living species. I just feel ppl should speak out and not be passive and think some one else will make a difference.

I don't like dishonest people and try to be considerate to everyone. I will never give a bad rating for no reason...so please don't worry if you had a problem sending your goodies too me late....its always good to keep in touch and explain your situation. I would appreciate the same kind of care even though nothing bad has happened yet (touch wood)

I am a fool for Vegetarian food hence my looove for Nutloaf.

I often avoid grownup grumble and much prefer to hangout with the kids.
