Alice

​Alice skipped around him with the doll trailing behind her. "Little goblin, oh so sad. A lesson is needed. You've been bad. Your son is fine. Have no fear. To the Amethyst Guardian. The end is near." She threw the disk. It stopped with a boom that shook the mountaintop....

Goals & Pixies

Good Morning, my friends.

Happy Monday!

I hope the day and the week ahead are good to you.

I was going through my pile of ideas written down for possible future stories when I came across another little gem about pixies. I swear, with all the little pieces I have written down, I should just compile them into a book. Hmmm. Light bulb. lol. A little personal project perhaps to take the mind off all craziness of 2020. It could be a good goal to set before the end of the year. I have a long running list of ideas and this one will fit nicely.

My vision for the year was completely different, as I am sure it was for you, too. 

Have a wonderful day, my friends.

Should you find yourself needing an escape, the Max Hamby series is just that. The series is filled with magic, adventure and plenty of twists and turns along the way.

Pixies

​The Merrihaven pixies are unlike any pixies you have ever met before. 

On one hand, their loyalty runs deep. Stories are passed down from generation to generation. Those stories are what have kept the pixies at Merrihaven loyal to the Cragmores. Of course, Esther and Griselda have had their tricks through the years to keep the little creatures happy; a little honey, a velvety pillow or a satiny piece of ribbon works a charm.

On the other hand, the pixies are prone to laziness, quite spoiled and see nothing wrong with throwing a fit. If one is in a sour mood, they're all in a sour mood. If you have mistreated a pixie, even by accident, it is best to close and lock all windows and doors. The pixies will wait until you are sleeping, then pinch you so hard it will leave a mark. The Cragmore sisters take turns dealing with the pixies.

One morning, before the sun had risen over the horizon and after an especially busy night, Esther groggily shuffled into the garden with a spoonful of honey. Unfortunately, she mixed up two sets of twins. She gave the first set of twins the honey and shuffled back to bed. That afternoon, Griselda appeared in the garden with a spoonful of honey and gave it to the same twins that Esther did. The second pair of twins were fuming mad and that night, the Cragmore sisters were pinched until they were purple. They never mixed up the pixies again.

Pixies

​Good Morning! 

It's FRIDAY!! The weekend is almost here and what better way to start the weekend off right than with another oldie but goody, PIXIES! I hope the day is wonderful for you. Sending #positivevibes your way. 
________________________________

Pixies are said to be notorious pranksters, but the pixies that live around Merrihaven have no interest in pulling pranks. They prefer to spend their days napping under the rose bush in the garden, using Bartholomew as a trampoline and consuming sweet treats from the kitchen.

You're probably too big to join the pixies jumping up and down on Bartholomew. He's not a very big dog. And I doubt the pixies will share their sweet treats. They do have a bit of an addiction to anything sticky, gooey and sugary. But I am sure they will make room for you under the rose bush; just make sure to stay away from Bartholomew's left ear. For some reason, that spot is the pixies' favorite.

Dragon Advice

Good Morning, friends,

It is Friday! Coffee is in hand, but no art or writing today. Errands and chores this A.M.
I hope you all are feeling fine and doing well. If not, sending #positivevibes #prayers & #hugs your way.
To get the #weekend started off right, I thought a little dragon advice might do the trick. A oldy but goody. ;)
Have a great day everyone. Don't stress too much. Take time for you.

:) ______________________________ :)

No one ever said owning a dragon would be easy. Many have tried and failed. Dragons are unpredictable. They are cantankerous beasts with a tendency to pinch when they don't get their way. Razor sharp claws do not tickle.
Some dragon owners have complained about sleepless nights due to snoring that resembles a jet engine or the midnight feedings. Word of warning, have a good pair of earplugs and an enormous supply of pie handy.

Another Pixie

Here is the counter part to yesterday's pixie. I had an idea for a banner or footer image for the site. I thought one pixie on each side would be great, but not sure. Will have to think on it some more.

Hope all is well with you. Sending #positivevibes your way. Picture ​#pixie #digitalart #art #kidlit #kidlitart #illustrator
