Huge thanks to @NettieWriter for hosting last week's giveaway, and generating lots of giggles along the way! You can check to see if you've won
here. If you didn't, don't despair - there's another chance starting today!
Now, today I'm feeling nostalgic. Ah, nostalgia! Doesn't it make you feel all warm, fuzzy and, well, nostalgic?
Today's stop on the blog tour (with a new giveaway) is with the original sleb-slut
@mduffywriter. While collecting recipes for
Tweet Treats, Maria found she had a rather uncanny (read: scary) ability to chat to celebrities and to bring them around to her way of thinking. I owe her a lot of thanks since a goodly proportion of the celebs who feature in
Tweet Treats wouldn't have been there without here. Anyhoo, you can read her version of events here.
Having Maria blogging today reminded me of another piece of writing that she did about
Tweet Treats. I blogged about it a year or so ago, but just thought I would reproduce it here. Enjoy!
In Twitford all the fairies came
to hear their fairy queen.
was hoping they’d be keen.
So Fairy Jane began to tell
her real exciting news.
She needed help to form a plan;
they didn’t dare refuse.
Although they quite admired their Queen;
an energetic fairy,
she sometimes donned a grumpy face
that made her seem quite scary.
She never wore the sparkling stuff,
or fairy wings so pretty;
preferring dark & gloomy clothes
to make her seem more gritty.
She didn’t drink the fairy dew
but loaded up with coffee.
Instead of nibbling magic stars,
she just chewed gum and toffee.
But when they heard her plan in full,
they all became excited.
They’d help her every way they could;
Team Fairyland united.
A plan to gather recipes
was what she had decided.
She’d surely quickly reach her goal
with all the help provided.
Now very soon the word was spread
of Fairy Jane’s new mission.
And fairies all applauded her
for having such ambition.
The recipes were flooding in,
but Jane still wanted more.
Celebrities would do the trick;
she’d pound their Twitter door.
The wizards and the fairies who
were helping Fairy Jane,
would listen to her nagging;
(God, she really was a pain!)
The weeks went by, the team worked hard,
and Jane soon cracked a smile.
She realised her team was fab;
they’d made it all worthwhile.
No longer did the fairies fear
the fury of their queen.For now she only ever smiled
and never more was mean.
She even tried some sparkly clothes
and ditched her gloomy cloak.
She started to endear herself
to all the elfin folk.
And so she called a meeting where
she promised all her team
she’d bring them to Avoca for
some scones with jam and cream!
