"Do ya Wanna...do you Really Wanna?"

he he he that line is from the movie Lethal Weapon btw:)- I chose it because I have been pondering for days now on the type of topics I should write about on my blog. I have researched other small business blogs, and talked to a few owners who claim my blog should be a marketing tool about my bath and beauty products. And they say I should do an occasional "giveaway" to incise more readers (followers) and such.
Hmmmmm...I have to disagree, besides it doesn't go with my blog title. This is not to say that i will not from time to time discuss my how I make my products, or that I will never do a "giveaway". I am just saying that I don't believe that it should be my only focus. There is much more to me than my magical little soap shop.

To fully understand you must get to know the "other me's". This is not a easy task since I am for the most part a very private person....but I will try:)

There is the middle aged "I am not quite sure I wanna anymore...me"
Who has, against many odds managed to raise three decent human beings, and lost one (my darling Frankie in 2008 in Iraq), I am just now getting to the point I can actually verbalize that sentence with out cracking. I have worked my ass off for every step I have gained, and even though I am is extremely disappointed in the world today I still work hard. I will admit on most days I really don't want to get out of bed anymore:( But then the sweet fairy mostly masquerading as my hubby says I love you, you can do this, and then I think of my grand babies smiles.
So I get up and push on...

Then there is the working professional me who commutes daily...ever so wanting to bash some one's head in with their silly little cell phones!
I work long long hours in a uniformed law enforcement environment doing shift work with some of the most disagreeable, negative, self absorbed, anal people on the face of this planet. And all day long I am the best actress in the world...it's the only way I can stay sane.

The Fairy Bubbles me who while in my own little world likes to make things beautiful.



Here, I am the one who gets to make people feel good. Yes, people it not all about money. I actually get off making others happy. I like to envision them opening up that jar of Fairy Whip and sniffing and sighing, ahhhhhhhh, and a great big smile crossing their face. It really does make my day:)

Sister of the Fairy Bubbles me is Wishing Creek. Who actually was born first, even though its not as popular. I crochet, embroidery, glass etch, wood burn, and do leather craft. I have always done some sort of craft for as long as I can remember, I have only began selling it over the last five years when I ran out of room to store it all. I moved back home around that time to be closer to my folks who are aging at alarming rate. My Mom, who has a craft storage problem too...she makes quilts, knits, and does that fancy thread crochet for which I have no patience!
Also one of my daughters lives near me and she since was tainted by us early on...she loves to design clothes and handbags. So it was clear we needed to combine forces, we did, and Wishing Creek was born. Little did we know, little do we still know about online business.

But several of these me's wouldn't exist with out the WRITER me.

Yes, people if that major studio calls with any kind of deal I am so outta of here!
I do crafts when I am on writers block. Honestly. I have been on a block now for about five years now. Major life changes, loss, depression, hardship...a real life friggin tragedy has been going on. I was writing page 80 of of "The Good Samaritan" when the Evil Fairy finally concluded that I was getting to good at ducking the usual crap she liked to throw at me, and not playing fair she hooked up with Kali the goddess of destruction, and they have been trying like hell to make me cave and come over to the dark side. Hiya....never gonna happen. Not only do I have a secret weapon (the Good Fairy), I also come from hard working, hard headed, stubborn Norwegian stock! I never give up, I never give in, of course unless I want to:)

This is not the last time you will hear the term Evil Fairy. She has been a thorn in my side, a pain in my ass, the dark cloud looming above me, for as long as I can remember.

This might be a good time to suggest to the viewing audience that I often use profanity, strikingly obnoxious comments, and sometimes when angry I can be outright crude. I am opinionated. It is more than likely that my views on any subject matter concerning war, religion and/or politics (please note the and/or was intentional), child rearing, fashion, art, literary arts, movies, hair, driving, and really any other topics will probably piss people off. So it's best to leave it alone, and if I am writing about it and it bothers you please leave, no is forcing you to read my crap. If that could actually be done I would be a screenwriter at a studio by now:)

So there you have it...my Fairy Whispers will be whatever I want to talk about with a few products thrown in every once in a while:) But it's not a product blog. I will most likely do this as weekly thang since I am very limited on time. I like the movie quotes titles so I just might stick with that too:)

Koo toes to those who stuck around to the end. Peace:)
