Sistahs, if you only knew what went into ever one of our releases, you would cry LOL.  It’s months of preparation.. finding just the right quote.. making sure all body parts are functioning LOL.. thinking about the image.. if it works.. if it tells MY story. Every image means something to me 🙂 and I hope they mean something to you too 🙂

Please note that these images will start being shipped at the end of the week or the beginning of next week as we are waiting for the packaging to come in.  Hopefully it will arrive earlier so we can ship ship ship!  Orders will be shipped in order so the sooner you place your order, the sooner you will receive your goodies!

Grab your favorite hot beverage (or cold).. grab a snack (or 4) and just sit back and scroll through our new images and some corresponding cards our baberoonis have made for you to drool over . N’k?   LETS GOOOOO!

All of our images (except the Mo Mannings)  have been coloured in by our AMAZING and TALENTED Elaineabella.  My deep gratitude goes to her for all she does for me 🙂 Her colouring brings our images to life! oh and her sense of humor keeps me laughing daily.. LOL..not sure which is more important? hmm they both are!

I also wanted to thank our AMAZING DEDICATED and DEVOTED baberoonis for making all of these amazing cards for all of us.. They went beyond my expectations and A BIG HUGEAMUNGOUS (yes that’s a word too) HUG goes to them.  Thank you thank you thank you!!
