MOC Baby Liquorice?

I think its to fabulously funny that it is spelt the British way and that they are called Sweetie babies, when their backcard story goes on about them going to a "candy stick store" and "mint candies" and there is of course Baby Candy. "Candy" is for us in the UK very much an Americanisation you seldom find people using it to describe sweeties - so their names and story are a wonderful cross over.

I wouldn't call the word 'candy' an Americanisation, it's just we don't use it like they do or as often. Americans use it like we use the word 'sweets' but we still use it in the original meaning. I don't think they were trying to be American when they wrote it - we have candy floss, candy canes etc.

Hathorcat - I would love to read the back card story, could you please post it?

Sure One day I ll finish getting these all sorted!

It was a wonderful sunny day when the Sweetie Babies decided to go to the Candy Stick Store.
They put in their favourite hair-clips and trotted off. Inside, the store was full of yummy sweeties.
"Oh I am so glad we came," said Baby Lollipop looking around.
"Yes," agreed Baby Candy. "Now I can buy some of my favourite mint candies, Look, they match my hair-clip!" she cried. Baby Liquorice paid for their sweets.
"Of course, we will remember to clean our teeth," they all said with a smile.

I'm so stealing this story for my site hathorcat. I'll give you a credit - we need to start collaborating more.
