Twinkey> Oh Wow! Oh Wow! Oh Wow!

If this is your first visit, please read this.

Oh Wow! Oh Wow! I can talk to real people? Really really, really? Small humans? Children? Actual children? Really? Oh Wow, Oh Wow! OK, calm down. I should calm down. Stop hopping up and down. Come down and stop twirling on the ceiling fan. Breathe.

Hi. I'm Twinkey. I'm what humans call a Fairy. I live in the part of the Faerie Realm that touches Woodland Springs. That's where my friends at Fairy Woodland live. I like to ride dragonflies, my favorite food is blackberries, and my favorite sport is maple seed tossing. (Maple seeds are flat and look like ariplane propellers and we toss them like frisbees.) Anyway, I'm really, really excited about writing here.

I wrote a letter to ask human children to write to me so I could learn more about being a human kid. I made lots of copies and snuck the letter into mailboxes that Fairy Woodland sent out.This is what it looked like. (My favorite snack is there, too.)

That's the front door to my house. I got kind of overwhelmed and hid in the woods for a while. Then one day I saw a squirrel carrying nuts to his hole in a tree. I think he was moving. Anyway, he took a nut from a hole in a tree, ran and jumped across a bunch of other trees and stuck the nut in a new hole in a different tree. And he did it over and over, one nut at a time. It took him almost all day but he got every single nut moved. That squirrel taught me that, when I really feel overwhelmed, if I just do one thing at a time and keep at it, then sooner or later I'll get everything done.

So i came back to Fairy Woodland to deal with all the letters. Bridget said she was very proud of me for coming back and that she might even be able to find someone to help me with my correspondence. I've started answering the letters that were waiting for me and I intend to answer them all. If you've written to me and haven't heard back from me, I promise you will. And it has really been fun reading all the letters kids have written me. I just love hearing about what it's like to be a human kid. 

Oh, and Erika, I think it's great that you want to make furniture for me but please don't use nails. Nails are made of iron and Fairies are really, really allergic to that. I break out with hives and my skin feels all creepy crawley. Use glue. But I'll tell you that when I answer your letter, too. 

I guess that's all for today. I want to keep on but Bridget says I have to stop now. I'll blog (that's what I'm doing! I'm a Fairy Blogger!!) again soon.
