"Did you hear that?"
Yielding to the irresistible siren song of
Girl Scout Thin Mints. Mmmmmmmmm
Yup, got my year's supply, and now I'm a very happy girl.
Sorry, I could not finish a decent drawing this week. Got...um...sidetracked. :)
*Andrea asked me to please draw her enjoying the treasure.
This one's for you, Andrea!

YAYYYYYY ...you are so awesome..I love thin mints and how super cool to have your stash already! LOVE this sweet series of illustrations, Bella..you rock! Are those mint cookies I see in your illo? : ) Hope you have a wonderful week ahead my friend!
PS - wow, I am honored to be the 1st to post...yippppeee!!!
You like 'em too? Yeah, those thin mints are dope!
I try not to keep them in the house, though, because your year supply would probably only last me through one good movie sitting, then I'd be rolling in agony and hatin' life afterwards.
I always take it too far, don't I?
we totally got these tooooo!
yummy yielding!!
+ i adore your girls so much
+ they are darling alongside
flowers...
lovelovelove to treasured you.
xoxox
Oh I love how she is peeking, and I cannot believe what she found! Please draw her enjoying the treasure!
So great!
Something about chocolate and mint...mmmmmm.
What are you talking about, not finishing a decent drawing?!
She's adorable and the last one, where she finds Thin Mints waiting for her to rescue (eat) them? My gosh, wonderful.
I love your creative expressions.
Oh oh oh I love your work Bella! And...I adore a good GS cookie! Hugs to you hon..:)
This drawings are soo lovely. Absolutly adrable. Your girls are so sweet I love how she is into the flowers.
Have a great weekend

~i am shamelessly holding my head in my hands...you don't even want to know how many savannah sunrises boxes i ate...ALL BY MYSELF...worst part of it all is i am not suppose to have gluten...whoopsie...satisfaction verses pain!?! hhhmmm...this time i gave in to the sweet lemon indulgence calling out to me...
love your drawings...and enjoy your cookies...much love light and blessings~
Great stuff! LOVE the "Nom Nom Nom" one!!!! Still laughing!!!!
BELLA...YOU are: Uncommon, Outstanding, Extraordinary, Magnificent, Towering, Unusual, Rare, Exceptional, Singular, Preeminent, Remarkable!!!!
You are certainly a standout.
Just completely out of sight.
And thin mints, Ummmm (Prefer the "strong" stuff HERSHEY BARS). I believe "Thin Mints" is a marketing name to make me think I can eat 1,000s and stay thin--or GET thin--grin!
Tsup!
Well I am salivating :) Always a good sign! So you are giving away your secrets? There I was thinking you were as pure as I was ...... I only have three vices - mispelling, mistyping and I forget the other one . Heh, if only that was true.
Don't you love that first image, the girl looking backwards and goig "hey, what was that noise? do I here the sound of someone crunching on...."
Okay, back to my wholegrain wheat bix with first pressed virgin cow's milk sprinkled with bourhgul and fresh chillies and just a tad of ice-scream
Hey I don't even get a magic woprd so I will have to make one up .... hmm "Magg Spragwort", a famous character from Charles Dicken's unpublished first novel "Spragwort Saves the Day!"
Haha "Nom, nom, nom" I love it, but what is that treasure she is munching on? We mustn't have them in oz.... Not yet anyway :)
Hi Bella,
Sweet little illustrations, dear friend.
As for your Girl Scout thin mint biscuits, we do not have them here either.
Do like the plain biscuits, (my fav) though and I think they have coated them in chocolate now.
Chocolate and mint is such a yummy combination.
Hope that you are enjoying the week
Hugs

I hear girl scouts' cookies are one of the biggest culprits responsible for weight gain during this time of year in the US. If they're THAT good, make some room in your tummy, I say... You could always jog to China afterward, eh? Heheh.
I love your girls, Bella. They always make me crave for cuddles. :))
Love it! And those cookies are making me drool!
Laughing~
Thin MINTS!
They better have my years supply left!
oh dear bella, now i need some too. i vote that this is an unfair post.
(but your forgiven since your illustrations are so very cute! hee heee)xxx lori
Oh my gosh, how many Thin Mints is a year's supply? I got a couple three boxes. Er, had a couple three boxes. I mean, it's 2 servings per box, right?
Super cute drawings with their lovely flowers.
I think there has to be a 12 Step Program for Thin Mints. I bought a box the other day, and my two teens inhaled them. I got ONE COOKIE. Obviously, I need to be more discreet when I bring them in the house, and not dance around squealing "Thin mints! Weeeeee!". Lesson learned. Love your drawings...and I bet they all have a delightfully fresh minty smell! xoxox Pam
Hooray for the Girl Scouts!!! I, a lifetime Girl Scout, troop leader and former cookie mom, thank you for this tribute, although, Andrea appears to be savoring something more X-rated. It looks like she is being carried away by a giant dddd..i..l..aaaaah...I can't say it.besides, nog appropriate in line with girl scouting which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Hooray for Juliet Gordon Low.
You know, she had the most extraordinary lif. She married a very wealthy Englishman who was a philanderer and wanted her to live with his mistress in one house!!! Daisy, Juliet's nickname wanted none of it. Good for her!
Now, for your illustratuon. Yesterday, I bought the most beautiful books illustrated by masters. You know what they have in common? They were drawn by hand. Now granted we are now computerized, I am sure some if them may venture using the computer to color.
Now, what am I saying? Great illustrators are easily distinguished by their illustrations, no matter what the subject matter may be. They have signature lines and signature aura: pogany, racham, tenniel, Clarke, nielsen, w.h. Robinson. See an illustration and one exclaims exaltations or keeps quiet because one us afraid that the illustration will disappear, so one closes her eyes and is relieved to find the illustration again.
I say this, your illustrations this past three years have taken a turn for the classic - classic elegance, classic lines, classic precision, classic excellence. I swear that even if someday, the gods will main my heart, and make me renounce my ties, I shall never take back my words regarding your art. Your illustrations belong with the classics, never the disposable books. Alas!!! You are a true dilletante.
Alas, I type with one finger on this phone...that has a mind of its own. So please decipher nj cestype. Tsup!!!
my my my ...why is my changed to nj?
Dilettante!!!
Ugh. I need a dull keyboard
full keyboard!!!
Sigh.
Oh, thin mints!!! I miss them so... I am really, really, really jealous and would love to go and get a box of them right now. I use to keep them in the freezer and they were always my favorite vice when I was pregnant. Oh, well, I'll have to enjoy them vicariously through you ;)
Your little girls are always so loveable and irresistible. Mints?! My favourite thing too! Have fun drawing.
fun fun fun
and yum yum yum
such adorable pieces a story of cuteness, thank you~
Are those mint cookies yummy? They look like clay to me.hehe I guess that's what I get from working with it too much.^^
Lovely and inspiring illustrations as always Bella. Especially the last one, which reminded me to shave my sexy legs for the summer!^^ Have a wonderful weekend!\:D/
awwwwwww sweet!
so... got a new beau? ;)
that would get you sidetracked! lol
Boy, you´re so brilliant! I found your blog by Ces and I´m really happy for that. Have a nice weekend! :-)
So lovable:)
Aw, I love the girl with the flowers. The cookie thing is hilarious, and slightly wrong... :)
This is SO cute! I especially love the cookie nom nom!! :)
he he he he he he he he he he!!! You are hooooooot! Seriously you keep me in stitches and you say everything that I am thinking. Ray and Zoe went out and got a whole stash of thin mints. I had to stop her from eating a whole sleeve by herself. They are what this season is all about he he he, I love this fabulous delightful illustration. The whole series of illustrations are magnificent! Oh yeah, I have made a nice room for you under my rock. I changed the sheets and put smelly stuff and come cheese, grapes and wine in there. I Martha Stewart'd out for ya!
Love you so much and miss you more.

Hee hee hee...look at her nomming away!
I love the top illustration! No idea what girl scout thin mints are but they are no doubt too delicious to yield! I adore your work Bella!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! I adore the Nom Nom cookie drawing!!!! I love those thin mints myself...we have an australian version of it. Yum! YuM! No good for my diet regime though. Sigh.
O Bella...you come up so many different things...I don't have any idea about the mint cookies... but the illos are delicious and gorgeous!!!!! Loved the first two more... loving the flowers:)
I love the Tagalongs. Mmmmm. Really like that top illo too. A simple drawing, but it says a lot. Nice!
Everyone loves thin mints! :) Your last illustration is exactly what we addicts all feel like when eating them!
The reason why I love your illustrations is that they're quirky and are full of a warped sense of humour. They're non-deferential and in your face, and yet they keep an innocent side, too. Many thanks. Loved that.
Greetings from London.
Heee heee! So glad you sketched her enjoying her find...nom, nom is right! I had NO idea hedgehogs were illegal in CA..wow! Oh, they are super cute as babies..perhaps they multiply? Hmmm..you have me wondering now..wishing you a lovely week my friend!
sweeeeeet
Those Girl Scout cookies alway get me sidetracked too! :o) I’m a Carmel Delight kinda guy! Lovely work and the girl riding and chomping on the corndog is hilarious! Off to go find a cookie! Take care and God bless!
What's going on here? Who ate my cookies?
I love "Thanks A Lot". That is my son's favorite. My husband loves Peanut Butter Patties and Thin Mints. My daughter loves Thin Mints. My favorite is Lemonades. I am eating one now with a cup of green tea.
Last week, the police arrested a man who robbed the Girl Scouts selling cookies in front of Wal Mart. He did not even steal them from Senior Girl Scouts or Cadets. He stole them from the Brownies!!!
Do you know why the youngest Girl Scouts are called Daisies? Juliet Gordon Low's nickname was Daisy.
A Juliette is a Girl Scout who does not belong to a troop. That is an individual program, usually for American Girl Scouts overseas or those who live in far flung areas.
When Juliet Low died, she was buried in her Girl Scout uniform.
I once played the role of Juliet Low in a ceremony. Heheheh It was a short role. They announced that a special visitor was present and then I walked across the stage. I wore a floor length Girl Scout uniform! It was so cool! I looked like I belonged in the 1900s!
I ate three Lemondes! Ugh. Now I am full of sugar. Tsup!!!
See you later! Tsup!
She is so lovely, great sketches Bella.
.... I used to think that I was the only real person and everyone else was made up for my entertainment. Imagine my shock and disillusionment.... sigh.
Hey, that's me too :) Maybe we are the only two real people in the world and the rest are pigments of the imagination? That's a lot of pigment mind you, think of how many paintings we could do!
Katrillions and Katrillions :)
see you!
Your 'flower'girls are always so adorable. I wish I could see them in real life - where do they live? In my garden maybe?
Last drawing is my FAVORITE!!!
Tsup! Tsup! Tsup!!!
sweeet and sweet in all senses of the word sweet.
Love those forget me nots!
Over the holidays I caught my niece and 2 sister in laws all in the pantry all at the same time with the door closed eating those mints - nom nom nom hilariousness.
Did you hear THAT? Girl Scout THIN MINTS. Is that what will keep me thin?
('Thin' rhymes with 'grin'!)
PEACE!
