What are the Willies planning next?? Christmas??!! Are they going to have lights up?? Build little snowmen?? Have a snowball fight?? I have no idea what they are going to do Right now . They have just been cleaned up and settling in ,,here in the house and adjusting to artificial light,,so I have no Idea what they will do next..! Do you have a wide angle lens so we can see a picture of the entire village at once? Sheri this Picture was taken in July,, I haven't taken an overall view since then,, I don't think. I'd have to look thru more pictures,, and see.

The Willy Village Recieved a Christmas Card from the Faerywatcher Wendy ~ Onehand and The Village sends you a BIG and says Thank you! This is the First Christmas Card they have ever recieved from a faerywatcher!! :wink: Onehand wants everyone to know Mystical is doing fine and is well loved and cared for! Spoiled too , IF I can say!! Shirley They said for now they are just going to chill out and listen to music get used to the places inside and maybe help me with the house plants once in a while ~ IF I can keep them from playing with things long enough to help me!!

Boy, those little buggers are really reproducing. They might need an appointment in my clinic. It's called Family Planning.

That's so funny, Diane, that they are playing with everything inside! But, that's new territory, they have to check things out!! That is so sweet that they got a card from the faerywatcher!!

I know what you mean Dianne. Maybe that's something you can work on for next year. They are so precious just the way they are. We both need to stay home and work on getting our own Christmas decorations up because I haven't even gotten my stuff out of the attic. I can't seem to get motivated in that direction.

Maybe They Willy's ) will have a little celebration of some kind,, We'll see ???

Tell GrandPooBah that there is no big hurry in deciding what he is going to do--after all we do have a month or so before the new year--- That leaves plenty of time for him to decide.

Continued from UP[b] ^ There[/b] many Of the Wee Willys worked together to open the Box.
AS they were removing Packing,, They began to hear a muffled voice!
They worked even faster to get the packing out!!,,
Suddenly they saw a face!!!
"Heyyyyyyyyy Don't Be frightened,,! My name is Mick .. I'm from Ceramic, Illinios and I build ladders! I am sooooooo hoping you need a Ladder Builder in your Village."
Chuck ( short for Chuckles) Looked in the Box and said "Sure we need a Ladder Builder,,! Come on out!!!!Did you bring a Ladder with you or do I need to throw in a rope!
Ohhhhhh certianly I brought a Ladder, of course !!!!
Mick Climbs out of the Box with something straped to his back and covered Up,,
Chuck ask Him " What cha got there??"
I Bring a Gift to the Village,, Special Made from My human Friend CarolJean, She Directed Me here,, I told Her as soon as we met I wanted to go to the Rock Tower Village in Texas someday. But it seemed nearly impossible to get there on my own ,, barely knowing me She arranged it , and I will be forever Grateful!
Chuck helped Mick get the wrapped gift off his back .. Mick announced "the gift is for the Season and that the Children of the village should be gathered around for the opening of it,, as it is just as much a Gift to them too"
As Onehand ran off to gather the Children,, Someone from the crowd that had since gathered asked ,,
"So what is it that have you heard of us,, that lit your fire to get here???'
I heard sooo Much about the Village and the Keeper of the Land,, your Human Friend,, and Her Friend the Faery watcher, that has sent you a secret Orb,that has already revealed a secret!! News Travels FAST.. ya know??? Ohh and I heard the story of Onehand's friend ..Rosewood ,and that he Found REAL Magical Land in Washington and the Special keeper of the Land there,, and that there is a Special Tree in that land ,, Called the Shirley Tree,,Not ever Heard of that tree before But I'm sure it's something else since it is in that magic Land Rosewood stays !!,,
I also Heard about all the great things the Friends of the keeper of your land dwelling has done, Two Humans, Lynne and Christy brought Brothers together thru a secret mission after many years of being apart. I gotta tell ya tho,, The Human Girl Cindy,, I hear so much about sent Your Human Friend two of us that Play cards and Cheat,, I think I won't be playing , cards with them!!
Ohh Yes indeed you have really been tuned in,, and all is true,, !! Says Chuck!
Finally Onehand gets back with the Twin girls,,
Mick carefully removes the old worn burlap to Give his gift to the Village!,,,
Continues,,,,,,,,,

Carol here again---Val & I were out last night & we got caught in a sleet storm of sorts--as it was closer to her house than mine I spent the night. Val is at work now. So I will be home tonight at some point.
I am so glad "Mick" got to the village safe & sound with his gift. The minute we met I knew he was right---that he was destined to live in the village. So glad ther ws a spot for him.
Another great story!! you really need to consider writitng stories and then eventually make writing your "day" job. I think you would be great at it.

I'm glad you've got a Christmas Tree for the Village. I was worried you were going to buy your own.

Thank friends soooo much for seeing that The Village has a Christmas Tree,, ,, Mystical sleeps beside it every night. She really misses being outside,, But she'll get used to being inside before too long.
Uhhhhhhhhh Climbing willy climbed the tree and Broke an ornament ,, Fortunately Sweet Carol Jean sent along some extra ornaments to replace it Several of the Villagers were upset with Climbing willy He has certainly learned his lesson and all was forgiven

Did any of the Villagers know they could use that special white glue that dries clear to "fix" the lights??? Or Did they have to ask for advise ???
I am certainly glad all was forgiven. :wink:

Pete the painter is certainly a good painter. perhaps if he could/would give lessons to the members of the village you would not have to worry so much a bout "random painting" going on????
So now even the Village is getting in to the "spirit" of the season, huh???

So you've had him all this year! Hmmmmm....I must be really foggy cause I can't remember seeing him, but then since he celebrates the Christmas season I guess he wouldn't show up much in the rest of the years stories...I didn't think of that!!
