ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the Magpie challenge enormously I have enrolled in a Queensland Writers Centre "Year of the Memoir" course for 2011 to pursue my 'faction' based stories.
Magpie Tales has played a part in that decision.
Snow for you, rain for us.
Enjoy the holiday season.

Merry Christmas, Tess! Looks like a white one at The Manor!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family Ms. Willow!
ReplyDeleteDear Willow, May you have the Merriest Christmas ever!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas as they say across the pond
ReplyDeleteand Merry New Year. Our presents have been
open, Christmas breakfast smells are wafting in the
air as I type. The grandsons are hiding from each other in their pop up tents, having a demolition derby with their radio controlled vehicles, riding their new bikes in the house and scaring the dogs and marking up the floor, and shooting all of us with their new automatic toy rifles.
I am new to the Manor, and still a fledgling Magpie,
but I have to say the Manor is my favorite stop
daily, and you are the highlight of so many of
our days. Thanks for all you share, and who
you are, and may 2011 continue to be a
Willow Year.
Many wishes being sent your way for a FABULOUS CHRISTmas!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWith love,
Jill
