Another week begins and I’m still not back into the swing of term time but meanwhile I’d love your advice. I’ve really dug myself a big hole – and fallen straight into it! Any tips on how to get myself out?

You see when Amy lost her very first tooth she wrote such a sweet note to the tooth fairy and her little face the next morning was so sad when there was no reply – that’s how it began.

A few months later the loss of a second tooth prompted her to write another lovely note and I couldn’t bear the thought of her disappointment once more so out came my finest-tipped pen and a tiny slip of paper and a reply was made.

And so it continued. Letters from Amy

and replies from Sparkle, the tooth fairy

Here’s a small extract from a correspondance with a fairy:

To Spakle.

I lost my tooth in the cinimar the cineworld screen were it says star dust three seats at the back if not there look evrewere else

love Amy P.S the postcode is cm202da pleese baleeve me!! xxxxxxx

Dearest Amy,

Do not worry, of course I believe you and I will go now and find your tooth. Humans do not know this but teeth give a special ringing sound when they fall out which only us fairies can hear. It is how we know that a tooth needs collecting, so I will find it easily. Thank you for your nice note explaining everything,

your fairy friend Sparkle x

Anyway, I’ve been caught out! I put the letters from Amy in my underwear drawer along with a little pot containing the teeth and in a nosey moment over the school break she discovered them!  I’ve garbled some fluff about buying them back from the tooth fairy because I wanted to keep them but by her suspicious look she’s not buying it! I’m hoping that she’ll forgive me when she finally works out the truth!

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when our little ones are involved!

So many wonderful comments on my anniversary post! It’s at times like this that you realise the inadequacies of language – so I’ll just say it again, wow, oh WOW! I’ve so enjoyed reading each and every comment. It’s been lovely recognising familiar friends and getting to know lots of new ones.Thanks so very much to everyone who took the time to comment.

So, on to who won. Random number generator do your thing…

Which by my carefully triple checking is Debbie momoftwoboyz (in Alaska I think?).

I’m sorry that there can only be one winner, I feel I’d like to do more so I am planning another smaller giveaway soonish. I’m in the middle of writing up the pattern for my cupcakes.  When it’s in pdf format we’ll have a draw to give away the first couple of patterns. I hope you’ll stick around and watch this space!

Thanks so very much for the warm welcome back. I was wondering if I’d have been forgotton in my absence and I have a warm, fuzzy glow now that you’ve all come to visit again.

It will take me a while to get back into the swing of things so partly
to give myself a little longer to adjust to the change of pace, partly to celebrate the start of my third year of blogging, and partly to just thank all of you lovely people for visiting I thought I’d have a giveaway. If you would like to
win yourself a regular-sized little cotton friend of your choosing, please leave me a comment
of any sort below and I’ll pick a random winner next thursday.

Thanks again for swinging by and for all of the lovely comments that you leave – they make my world a sunnier place x

Comments are now closed and I’m off to generate a random number.
