Fairy Orbs!
I was working on a craft for Alpha Mom and I had these plastic ornaments hanging around. They are the best invention ever. We used them for bubbles once in an under-the-sea themed baby shower. Well, now I can add one more use to their list! Fairy orbs!
It’s really simple. All you do is open them up, place a battery-operated tea light (another item of many uses) inside and close them back up again. Hang them from a black thread and you’ve got instant non-flamable magic!
We hung them from the trees outside.
And some in the windows inside…
They are so cheery and bright! Perfect night lights, really.
Perhaps we’ll make them at Bug’s upcoming fairy-themed sixth birthday party in January. We could add some spanish moss, a mushroom or two, some fairy dust…who knows!

Calling all copy-editors!
AT LAST! (sing that in your best bellowing Etta James voice) The 2012 SAJ Calendar is ready to be proofed! You know the deal. You get to download it for free if you don’t mind the typos. If you find some, email me (or better yet leave your corrections in the comments so I don’t get a zillion of the same email) and let me know. Then when it’s all fixed up and perfect (well, as perfect as it’s gonna get) I’ll put it up in my etsy shop for a few bucks. I figure that’s all it’s worth since it’s recycled banner art. Someday I gotta make a proper calendar with fresh art. Maybe next year.
In other house-keeping business, there will not be a book tour post tomorrow. It’s going to run on Saturday. In fact the rest of the tour might be off by one day. Wanna know why? Because I made my own calendar and left off a day. Thus my call for copy editors! However Saturday’s poster promises me it will be worth the wait. I’m so excited. It’s one of my favorite people from one of my favorite places! Can you guess?
