Friday starts a new session of the Fairy Online School. We always have fun and I love sharing what I’ve learned with folks so they have lots of tools and feel empowered. This year I’ve learned so much about marketing and there seems to be lots of formulas zooming around, that to me, have actually gotten me turned off from most marketing I receive. I tried some of that and I didn’t enjoy it, and it didn’t work for my tribe. All that type of marketing actually exhausted me, taking away from my creativity. So instead, I will do the Ronni method. (Okay, to be fair, I did make that funky trailer, but that was fun to make.) Classes start Friday and if you are interested and you really feel you can benefit right now with what is being offered, do sign up. I’d love to work with and assist you, and I know you will have fun. There’s a two payment option, and Paypal Bill Me Later for most classes, and many are very affordable under $60.00.
And for the many on small budgets, I offer my new TREAT SHOP, where you can pick up a tool or two for under $20.00 that can really help while still supporting the writer/artist to be able to eat..hey, that’s me! I love win-win situations.
I could bug you via email over and over until the day school starts, but I had one organization do that to me and it felt like Mom nagging me to do the dishes. Hmmm…not so much.
Look forward to working with the new students and fairy blessings to you,
Ronni

The Story
I am a huge fan of Christmas morning. My family is all separated, but we are all together, happily, on Christmas morning. We love our traditions. :)
One of my favorite Christmas morning memories was when I woke my younger sister up at 3am (as we always did) to go downstairs and see what Santa brought us. I think I was around 10 years old at the time. I remember walking down the stairs, and just over the banister I saw a large white table set up in the livingroom! It was magnificent!! I knew it had to be mine, it was like a shining star lit up by the Christmas tree.
To this day, that white table is in my studio, cut up, written up, and banged up.....I so love my white drawing table!

My favorite Christmas memory is one day, when I was ten and my sister was eight. Unbeknownst to my sister, our older married sister and her two little girls had come over during the night to spend Christmas with us.
We came downstairs, and my oldest neice was playing by the Christmas tree.
Horrified, my sister stared for a minute, then cried out in shock "WHAT is THAT!?"
I don't know how long I laughed. It was the funniest thing; and we all recall that memory with fondness :)
Hehe, that is a wonderful way to wake up! What a great memory. :)
I was born in the US, but my father moved us all over the world. For the most part, we lived in Saudi Arabia where Christmas isn't celebrated and is technically illegal.
In a desert environment and 130 degrees in the shade, Christmas wasn't the same for us by a long shot. We had a "Christmas lamp". My mother pinned ornaments on the lampshade and wrapped the post in garland. When we would wake up on Christmas morning, we'd settle below the lamp and open our gifts.
My sisters and brothers {7 of us} would always sneek down stairs early Christmas morning to get our Christmas stockings. We didn't have a fireplace to hang them on so they were hung, according to age, along the the landing area of the stairs. We loved the treats in them sometimes more than our larger gifts.
Hi Sara, I think that writing this in English is very complicated for me. But I'll tell you my Christmas story (though I'm out of competition, does not matter)
In my country in the month of December is hot, our Christmas is really very hot. and when my children were young I should have dressed as Santa Claus, you can imagine how I suffered, and when my children saw me saying HO HO HO, after dinner, they told me hello, Dad, give us the gifts! ha ha!
My memory is quite bad, but one favorite Christmas memory was getting a pair of purple parachute pants when I was 10. I don't know why that made me so happy, but it did.

My favorite Christmas memory is feeling of miracle and belief in fairytale!
I adore these sweet Fairy Blessing Ornaments!

One year when we didn't have a lot of money, my Mom spent the money she had on litte trinkets, wrapping each one separately so we would have plenty of gifts to open. We were little enough that we were thrilled by the sheer number of presents. It wasn't until we were older that we realized what had really happened.
i always love waking up to fogged windows from early morning cooking for christmas lunch!
this past Christmas 2010 waking up seeing snow Ive only seen a good amount of snow one other time and that time I was sick so my dad made me a snowman that Christmas it had a bowl for a hat

I was having Christmas in California, very diffrent from my home in mid BC Canada. My cousin and I got up in the middle of the night and opened our stockings, then put them back up on the mantle. When our moms got up with all of us in the morning, my mom sort of brushed it off, but my Aunt was MAD, super mad and yelled at us- threatened to take our stockings away LOL, in the end all was fine but she scared me for a while, and I never snuck out again on Christmas morning!

I was almost three when Santa actually came to my house on Christmas Eve to deliver my presents to me personally! I was in Awe!! I still have the pictures!

When my children were small I worked second shift (4-12) and my husband kept the kids. I wrapped all the presents and put them under the tree. That night I came home and all the presents were opened (1 week b/f Christmas). My children told on their daddy, he had opened all the presents. After that, I kept all the presents at my mom's house until Christmas eve then took them home. Another Christmas, I got my husband a gas powered air plane. He opened it Christmas eve and started the plane in the house at 4am. Those planes are very loud. I fell out of the bed.

my favorite was the year my one brother and i both asked for a spirogaph from Santa. Our other 2 borthers told us only one of us would get it as Santa does not do the same gift for two people in the same family ! Christmas Day front on center two spirographs w/ a note to have double the fun! I kept that cute note too! thanks for the lovely giveaway and sharing!
