Today, I am posting a link to a very unusual fairy.
This fairy, many of you know.  This fairy is a Chanukah Fairy.  This fairy, when she isn’t fairying, is known more for her political rants and her search for a good man!  You’d think that she would just wave her magic wand and ‘Hey Presto!’ [...]

I think this is the longest I have ever gone between posts!   I am so busy buying gifts, putting up Christmas decorations and writing out cards.  I am also going out to Christmas meals, shows and other fun things.  I hardly have time to read blogs, let alone comment on them!  I promise you, I [...]

“Would you like to sing ‘Mary’s Boy Child’ at our Christmas Carol Service?”
It was Christmas 1995 and Mo had been asked to sing.  I don’t know how they found out that she could sing, but they asked her anyway.  Mo agreed and the musicians came to our home for a rehearsal.  At some point, when [...]

A little bit of background information, just to set the scene.

I spent ages putting my make-up on and getting my hair just right.  I slipped into my dress and examined [...]

Now you don’t need to be a genius to know who’s head this is.  It’s pretty obvious it’s beetle.  You would recognize it anywhere wouldn’t you?  You’d say “Hey! There goes beetle” or “Wow!  What great hair Beetle has” Or some such similar thing.
Now let’s take things a little further.  I will pose you a [...]

Christa at giggle on tagged me for this meme - List 7 weird or quirky things about yourself.
This will be a fun meme to do.  It should be easy to find seven weird things about me so here goes…

Please read this to the end, if you don’t want to see a sad beetle doodle.
I received an award last week and decided not to pass it on.  I had passed a few on previously and felt it might be overkill to do it again.  A certain person, who shall NOT be nameless **IT WAS [...]
