WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hiya sistahs!  I wanted to share a little cutesy thing that happened this morning.  We were all sitting down eating breakfast and as usual the tv is BLARING in the background.  The usual nonsense.. Spongebob and Fairly odd parents.. I will never understand those shows..LOL.  I usually tune the whole thing out but today something Timmy (LOL.. the fact that I know the main character) said resonated. He said “SOMETIMES, THE BEST DAD is the BEST MOM”.  How true is dat?  So I asked my Tyler if he thought that was true and he looks at me and says “IT’S THOOO (lisp) TRUE mom”.  He gets it!  I was so proud.

Today is another Jenny weigh in.  I was a bit of a disaster I must admit but I will PERSEVERE!

Now that my “depth” (lol) is out of the way, let’s discuss some winnahs from last week!

I have tried the monthly releases…  I am not that organized and I don’t enjoy the UNspontaneity of it…so I am gonna go back to my old ways and SURPRISSSSE you with new images… it could be every month, could be when I LOVE an image and must get it out (LOL), could be every week.. I am just gonna do them when I feel like making some rubbah.  I think you will enjoy this way much bettah.  I remember years ago where people would play hide and seek on da website and squeal with delight when they found a new image so that’s what we are gonna do.  Hope you enjoy this way.. I think it will be fun!  And yes, I will announce on da blog once an image is up so no worries.. you are not gonna miss ANYTHING.

So this is a small release.. I wanted to get some WINTERY Christmas images out there… so I chose some MO’S and some VOL. 25 and a GREENBEANBABY (a Peep).. I think you are gonna LOVE IT!!  I fell in love with all of these images (as usual).. hope you do too!

Here goes…

SINGIN’ SO BEAUTIFUL by Mo Manning

JINGLEBELLS by Mo Manning

THE CHOIR with a STAR on top by Mo Manning

Christmas PEEPS by GREENBEAN BABY.. I wanna SQUOOSH them. BADLY.
