Hello all!

Ribbons here and I’m just bursting to tell you all about the other day when Fairy Queen, Rosebud, Shimmer, Poppy and I went on a trip to a really fun camp. It was called Camp Quality and there were soooo many kids there. I’ve never been on camp before and had no idea how fun it could be. We made so many new friends and played some really fun games.

We played Fairy Freeze and had to dance like animals. One of the animals we had to dance like was a Snake! It’s really hard but very funny to wriggle on your belly like a snake. We blew some bubbles too! With so many of us blowing bubbles all at once it looked so beautiful as the bubbles danced in the wind. I’ve never seen them look so fantastic, not even in Fairyland! We also played limbo and I fell down. I felt pretty silly but everyone was so nice and we just kept playing.

I nearly forgot to tell you the BEST thing about this camp. It was a dinosaur themed camp! I really love dinosaurs. Did you know that a very long, long, long, long…long time ago (in people years) Fairies and Elves had to clean dinosaurs? Dinosaurs really liked to roll around in the dirt and mud so they got really mucky and some fairies had the job to cleaning them. Just like my job is to weave ribbons and Cupcakes job is to make cupcakes. Even my great great great great Grand-elf (Suds) was a Dinosaur cleaner. He had a big scrubbing brush with a long handle and washed Dinosaurs all day long. You might know that some dinosaurs were a little bit grumpy and didn’t like having a bath so the washing Fairies and Elves some sprinkle sleeping dust over them so they fall asleep before they could be cleaned. I think it would have been a really fun job to have.

I’m so glad that I got to go on camp and I know that Fairy Queen, Rosebud, Shimmer and Poppy were too. We had heaps of fun and made lots of memories. I hope I get go again.

Fairy hugs!

Hello My Darling Fairies!

I have not forgotten you all – I have been very extra busy! Let me tell you what I have been doing lately… my lovely little friend Pixie Jamoo from Pixie Hollow has been helping create a wonderful computer program that is going to help the Fairy Queen be extra organised for all your birthdays! We have made a lovely long list of all the parties we have attended and made sure to keep a beautiful list of all our wonderful new Fairy Princesses! Pixie Jamoo is very clever with computers and has special Pixie Magic, sort of like pixie dust, that he sprinkles on the keyboard to help him create the wonderful Fairy Files. I have to make him an extra sweet and sticky batch of Pepsi Cola Fairy Floss. It is not very good for his teeth but it is his very favourite flavour!

Speaking of teeth, I visited the Tooth Fairy the other day and she told me that you have all been losing your baby teeth and she hoped you were getting the surprises she was leaving for you. She was showing me some beautiful pieces of Fairy furniture that she was finishing of from the teeth she had gathered – there was also a lovely sculpture of the Fairy Queen’s Pegasus Glimmer, that she was making for the Fairy Queen’s Christmas present! Shhh though, it’s a surprise!

Oooh Christmas – I nearly forgot! I have so much to do still – although I have started to decorate for the Fairy Christmas Light Parade. My garden has been strung with some beautiful shining stars I got from Twinkle and some lovely lanterns that are different colours – of course they were from Rainbow! Then I got Stardust to come and light them all up for me so they glow wonderfully. I still need to do a little bit of shopping. I am going to get some new Fairy slippers from Flip’s Footsy Parlour down on Butterfly Way for the Fairy Queen this year I think, she has such a love for slippers and I might even get Rosebud to add some little tinkling bells to them.

Well I hope you are all very excited for Santa to come and that you are all being very good little Fairies and Pixies!

I promise to write again very soon my wonderful fairy friends!

Love and hugs,

Fairy Princess Fairy Floss

It’s McHappy time!! At every McDonalds® store, $1 from every Big Mac & $3 from buying a silly straw (red, blue, white,) is donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. This is the day to buy a Big Mac if ever there was a day! Our gorgeous fairies will be lending a hand at the Chermside Macca’s and granting fairy wishes to boot! Come and say hello and help out a VERY worthwhile cause at the same time.

Did you know that McDonald’s® Australia pays all national administration and management costs for the Charity so that 100% of all donations can go directly to the programs it runs

These programs include:

- Ronald McDonald Houses - a home away from home for families of seriously ill children (so the family can stay together, in particular, the families that live in the country and are a long way from the children’s hospitals!)

- The Learning Program helps kids catch up with school after a long period of absence due to serious illness

- Family Retreats are available for whole families to reconnect and have a little time out from the stressful time

- Family Rooms within hospitals so that the family can stay with their sick child and still eat and do their laundry and all the normal things that need to happen within a family

- Cord Blood Banks that collect and store life saving umbilical cord blood used mainly to treat childhood cancers.

(The above information has been provided by RMHC Quick Facts Guide - www.rmhc.org.au)

So as you can see - McHappy day is very important and McDonalds® aims to raise $2.8 million this year to support the fabulous work this charity does.

Please, please, please - drop into a McDonalds®, buy a Big Mac on McHappy day, or just drop a little spare change into their collection jars and help them to continue to provide their special support to these kids and their families.

With fairy huge hugs,

The Fairy Queen

Hi Everyone,

Well, it’s time to start introducing you to the members of the Pegasus Starfleet Alliance (the PSA). I don’t want to …. overwhelm you, so I’ll just let you know about a few at a time.

So, I guess I should start with myself:

The Fairy Queen:

Her dress is brilliant White

Next, would be Crystal:

And thus begins the story of the Pegasus Starfleet Alliance…..

THE HISTORY OF THE ORBS:

When Fairyland was created by THE POWERS THAT BE, 14 coloured Orbs were formed to help protect all the mystical creatures that lived within the realms of Fairyland. To make sure that the Orbs would never fall into the wrong hands, THE POWERS THAT BE placed them deep into the bubbling water of the Well of Wonderous Wishes. The Orbs still rest in the Well, which is located in the gardens of Crystal Castle. The water inside the well bubbles all different colours and keeps the Orbs safe from any attackers. The power of the Orbs is such that they can defeat evil when used correctly.

Many moons ago, The Fairy Queen was asked by THE POWERS THAT BE to choose 14 Fairies who would be raised as the protectors of the Orbs. The Fairy Queen chose 14, who she knew to be brave, loyal, and kind. Each Fairy was given a realm of Fairyland to look after while being trained in the mystical arts of Orbculture. Each Fairy was awarded her own Orb and taught exactly how to use it. These 15 (the 14 Fairies and the Fairy Queen) came to be known as ‘The Pegasus Starfleet Alliance’ (PSA).

…thus, the Alliance was formed…

HOW THE ORBS WORK:

The Fairy who is in need of her Orb power holds her wand high and chants, “Let the powers that be, bring my Orb to me”. The Orb then rises out of the bubbling water and explodes like fire works (the same colour as the Orb) into the air and appears as a small crystal Orb in the middle of the Fairy’s wand. The Fairy is then able to use her powers to defeat evil.

If the one Fairy is unable to defeat the villain by herself, she shouts, “Pegasus Power” which warns all Fairies, including the Fairy Queen, that there is trouble. Unless they have been captured by a villain, all members of the Alliance must go to help, no matter what they are doing. (Once, Fairy Princess Blossom was in the middle of eating some fairy bread when she was called upon, and turned up at the Alliance with hundreds and thousands all over her face!) Once everyone is at the PSA Headquarters, The Fairy Queen raises her wand and commands, “All Orbs come to me”. The water in the Well of Wonderous Wishes bubbles furiously and all the Orbs come exploding out and appear in the Fairy Queen’s wand as a blinding white Orb. With the catch phrase, “Pegasus Alliance Unite”, the Fairies can use their powers to defeat the villain once and for all.

PROTECTOR OF THE PEGASII:

Fairy Princess Crystal has a special role within the PSA as she is in charge of protecting the Pegasii. (Pegasii is the plural of Pegasus). One day while Fairy Princess Crystal and The Fairy Queen were watching the Pegasii frolic and play, The Fairy Queen asked Crystal if she could train the Pegasii to help protect Fairyland. The Fairy Queen then removed a golden Orb from the Well of Wishes and placed it in Pegasus Castle telling Crystal, “Through the power of this Orb you shall have the ability to communicate with all the members of the PSA”. Crystal is in charge of teaching the Pegasii formation flying, which greatly helps the Alliance during battles in the sky.

Next week, I will tell you all about the different members of the PSA and what their roles and special powers are. Stay tuned - it will be a bumpy ride, but I guarantee, it will be a lot of fun!

Fairy Hugs,

The Fairy Queen
