Update #3: The packages are all in flight!

Posted on December 22

Hello Mermaid and Fairy Supporters!

I'm so so so very excited to tell you that every reward package is now on its way! I've heard from many of you already that you've been sparkled just by touching the envelopes and boxes =) That makes me smile so big thinking about the glitter making its way into your homes and families and clothes dryer lint traps =)

Every package was sent USPS Priority mail by Tuesday, December 20, so everyone in the United States should have their package in time for Christmas and most in time for Yule =)  International orders were sent out last week and should be delivered by Christmas as well, but postal goblins always seem like so much more of a problem when flying over large bodies of water. I've alerted my mermaid friends to see if they can keep an eye on things =)

Again, I can't thank you all enough for all of your support and encouragement. I read every single message sent to me in email, on Facebook, through Twitter, via my website, in my fairy hollow, and every other magical message place =)

Without your support, none of this would be possible! So THANK YOU again!!!

Have a great holiday everyone!!

<3 Twig

p.s. And a happy new year!!!

Update #2: Twig the Fairy and the Mermaid Misadventure

Posted on December 2

Hey everyone!

I am so excited to share with you all that I have selected a title for my book, the artwork is complete, and the book will begin printing tomorrow!

AND IT'S ALL POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF YOU!!

The books, calendars, coins, and assorted other mermaid and fairy surprises are scheduled to be in my hands on December 15.  I will then recruit several fairy friends to make lots of coffee and pack hundreds of packages to make sure you all get your orders delivered in time for Christmas =)

If you want to see the cover and read more about the book, you can check it out by clicking here:

If you have a fairy or mermaid enthusiast in your life, I hope you'll share this link with them =)

Thanks again everyone for your support! Thank you so so very very much!  None of this is possible without your amazingness that seems to never end!  And I really can't wait to hear from everyone about their feelings on the book!

<3 Twig

Twig the Fairy

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Twig the Fairy, also known as Twig Oaklyn Flewinia Thistlebottom, was first sighted at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival in 2003.

She now travels the country visiting Minnesota, North Carolina, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Texas, South Dakota, and Colorado, which would be even more impressive if you knew how many shiny things she sees between locations and how distracting these objects are for her.

When children see Twig, they are often struck with a sense of awe and occasionally with a puff of glitter.

She greets the small humans with a song played on her magical flute and a special gift just for them. They will often protect the gift with great vigor from anyone who may try to steal it, such as a goblin or an older brother.

She speaks volumes not through words, but through her interactions and music.

NOTICE: Twig has temporarily suspended her interpretive dance messages due to "The Wing Incident" of early February.
