WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

it’s BELLARIFIC FRIDAY!!! WOOOHOOOOO!

And I think the Mister Linky thingamabob worked!!  YESSSSSSS! (now to figure it out for this post again LOL)..  I think this is a great balance for those who forget to send me their cards and for those who are too shy to send it to me (SHY??? with MOI???).  I will of course continue to post your cards here if you email them to me.. yes it is more work but I have been doing it for years and LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!  You made the effort to use OUR images…  You only deserve ME making the same effort .. #we’reeven 🙂

Ok so this week’s theme was again a STUNNING MOJOBELLA sketch by Juleebella from VERVE STAMPS and from the MOJO MONDAY blog.. THE BEST SKETCHES EVER!

Here is the sketch everyone worked with

would really appreciate your comments 🙂
