Toys for each girl and boy

      While I was at the North Pole I learned something. Now I wasn't given specifics, but it appears that Santa is the biggest importer in the world. He told me he had several companies throughout the world to get the goods he needs for making every Christmas gift. It seems these businesses are "run" by elves, but they look human as to not arouse suspicion. I asked how this was possible and was again given the "Christmas Magic" excuse. It seems that they even import all natural fabrics and dyes for some of the stuffed animals. I was allowed into the toymaking training workshop. You see before the elves are allowed to move on to more complicated toys they need to master the basics, stuffed animals and wooden toys.

      As you can see the wooden toys come in a variety of ways, though it looks like someone snuck in a non-wooden toy into the workshop. Every toys gets played with for a little bit just to make sure they will hold up. The stuffed animals seem to get extra snuggles from this elf. The elves in the toy workshops all end up with tons of boxes laying around because after the toys are tested they are sent to the gift wrapping workshop before making their way into Santa's magic bag. We will see that workshop tomorrow!

The Broken Hearted

     There she is in the quiet unused corner of her home, everything seeming frozen in time. The cobwebs from the spiders who call this spot home have covered the walls and furniture, yet they never seem to be brushed away. The only thing fresh and new is the rose clutched in her hand as she stares at the cake that would have marked their union.



      While it seems the objects in this corner have remained untouched by time, the forgotten bride has not fared as well. The years show their mark upon her skin, her once flawless skin now wrinkled and marred by age. The heart she once proudly wore as a gift from the man she was to wed now rest against her skin hastily repaired. While the favor from him may have been repaired the heart that once skipped a beat at the sight of him is now in pieces in her chest. Never in her time alone was she able to find anything or anyone that could put those tattered pieces back together.

Uninvited Guest

So today I had a relaxing plan, sit outside with a nice glass of sweet lemonade on a hot summer day. Lo and behold this little raccoon steals my seat and starts doing a dance! I figured he wanted some lemonade too so I poured him a bowl. A good time was had by all.

If you can't beat them, join them right?

New Year with the family

How does one ring in the new year with a little kid. Well if it anything like here it means the adults are ready for bed by 10 pm. while the little person is bouncing off the walls. My sister and I were happy to power through to the ball drop and as the lower so did the Livy's energy levels. We all finally crashed for the night getting the first sleep of the New Year. The next morning, as much as I was in need to coffee, I made some "fancy" hot chocolate for Livy. Not to worry there was also a pot of coffee brewing in the kitchen.

While we were all together I thought I would set up my camera to take a photo of the three of us together. It doesn't happen often that we are all together for more than a little while so I wanted to save the moment.

Hopefully there will be more family time in the new year. Maybe that will be my resolution this year...

A Love Lost

If only he had listened to the warning on the wall and had not ventured into this strange lighthouse maybe he would still be with her. It has been a year since his mysterious death and she just can not let go. She wrapped herself in his old military jacket and pants just to feel close to him, sure they didn't fit properly, but they were his and she missed him greatly. After his death she fell into deep despair and was determined that she could bring him back to life. All year she search through libraries, old book stores, and even the few occult shops she found nearby. hoping to come across something that would help, and she did. Today was the day when she would bring him back to life!

She had found a book and gathered all the supplies that were required for his resurrection. She got to work reading the words and mixing all the things together. She was so filled with hope that he love would be returning to her. Suddenly a light began to emanate from the book. She looked on with bated breath awaiting for her love. What she saw made her gasp in horror!

That was not her long lost love she saw rise from the tome, it was some sort of demon. Her skin was red as a ruby and she flames shooting through her hair. The poor dear recalls nothing after that, at least that is the story she told me when I visited her in the asylum.
