Snowflake's Postings-September 2019

Events

9/2 to 8-We're ending Sports Camp with the dazzling End of Summer Sparkler to say goodbye to warm weather. But because this event is also about training, fairies are practicing dodging moths with Firefly Light Up. Puzzle solving skills are also being worked on in Sunbeam Bend.

9/9 to 22-Every year, it's a tradition the weeks before autumn to celebrate the Changing of the Leaves. Tink has set up leaf painting stations in the autumn forest every year.

And we're also celebrating Pixie Hollow's anniversary at around that time. What I find interesting is that the beginning of Disney Fairies (the 21st night of September), the beginning of  Pixie Hollow (September 22) and the closure of Pixie Hollow (September 19) happened at around the same time. The FairyABC forum even began in September. This year, we'll be celebrating the 14th anniversary of Disney Fairies and the 11th anniversary of Pixie Hollow.

9/23 to 29-Autumn has finally arrived! Recently, golden acorns have been hidden in the autumn forest. But there may or may not be a party in the Pumpkin Patch with cake. Fruit cakes are one of my favorite parts of Autumn!

9/30 to 10/6-Speaking of fruit cakes, it'll be time for the Berry Harvest Festival. What is the Berry Harvest Festival you ask? Why it's the perfect time to gather berries such as raspberries and blueberries for treats and dyes.


Seasonal Scoop

This section isn't really the same as the Pixie Postings Seasonal Scoop, but this is my version. In this version, I'll do a list of activities to do in the season. Here are 25 fall activities.

1.  Because it's back to school season, write a list of goals you'd like to complete during the school year
2. What classes do you think should be in fairy school? And what would your fairy take? They could be Baking 101 (taught by Dulcie) or Into to Lighting Fireflies
3.  Go apple picking (perfect for the Berry Harvest Festival!)
4. And make treats with the apples you collected! Apple pie is one of my favorites
5. Decorate your room with colorful leaf garlands, pumpkins, gourds and that stuff
6. Drink apple cider
7. Eat fall treats like cider donuts (mmmm!) 
8. If you live in an area with colorful leaves, take a walk and admire the scenery
9. I talked about fall decorations, but add some spoopy Halloween decorations!
10. Go to the pumpkin patch
11. Decorate a pumpkin by carving or even painting it
12. Make pumpkin treats like pumpkin pie or pumpkin muffins
13. Watch spoopy Halloween movies. If you're like me and can't stand horror movies, films like Nightmare Before Christmas and other kid friendly movies are good
14. Create a playlist of spoopy Halloween songs or songs with a creepy vibe in general
15. Sketch a design of a costume your fairy would wear
16. And dress your fairy in a fun Masquerade costume
17. Here's another fun idea, make a matching costume with another fairy 
18. Because Halloween is all about sweets, design your own silly sweet. What are the ingredients required? Is it seasonal? What does it look like?
19. Create a silly sweet, but this time, if you (or another fairy) was a silly sweet, what effect would it have? Mine would probably have your fairy turn into a star with a random Pixie Hollow fact on it lol
20. You're never too old to go trick or treating! And if you really feel like you are, than give out candy while wearing a fun costume
21. Even if you aren't trick or treating, than eat candy or other Halloween treats
22. Make some hot cocoa
23. Prepare for Christmas (I'm the type of person that gets excited on November 1st)
24. Write a list of what you're thankful for
25. In honor of the Pixie Hollow Games, think of how your fairy shows talent pride and wear your talent colors

 Full Moon Bulletin

This year's full moon is the Harvest Moon. This is the full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox. This full moon is one of my favorites because it really represents one of my favorite seasons. The full moon will be on September 14.

Fairy Facts 

The average never fairy height is about five inches tall. They need dry wings and pixie dust in order to fly. Never fairies only weigh as much as a piece of dandelion fluff. Fairies can be male or female.

A typical fairy glow is lemon yellow edged with gold. But it could change depending on mood:

Proud-Pink edged
Embarrassed-Pinkish red
Angry-Red
Startled-Winks out
Excited-Flares

Never fairies sound like jingling bells to humans. They also smell like cinnamon.  Fairies tend to be attracted to things like mirrors.

Monthly Horoscope

Aries-This month should be great when it comes to interacting with other people. You may meet new people as well. However, you may be overly hesitant about trying new things and going on adventures.

Taurus-What’s perfect for back to school month is that school (or work) should go very smoothly. Health should go smoothly as well. New ideas may form during this month.

Gemini-This month should generally be peaceful and harmonious with some love thrown in there. This is also a good month for the creative. However, try not to be the recessive in one on one connections.  And it may be hard to decide what to do this month.

Cancer-Imagination should be great this month. The home life should also be great with good family relations and even an active mind. Just try not to be too weak or overemotional.

Leo-This month, be wary of over emotion. Especially in party-like environments.

Virgo-Relations with others should be prominent this month. Just be careful not to be the weak/over emotional one in connections. But this month should be a stable one. You may find a new way to earn money or find something you’d like to buy.

Libra-This month should be a powerful one. New ideas and friends should come to you. Just try to be wary of weakness when learning or communicating.

Scorpio-This should be a very idealistic month for you. It’ll be a good month for thinking, but relations will be behind the scenes. Be careful of over emotion this month.

Sagittarius-This month will be a good time to be careful of weakness. Despite the adventurous attitude of your sign, it may decrease this month due to over emotion.

Capricorn-Woo! You should see some benefits to goals this month. Communicating with someone “higher” than you should go smoothly and this month will especially be beneficial for goals relating to love and beauty.

Aquarius-This month should be one of love and harmony, but you may have trouble making decisions. And you may find yourself being the weaker one in large groups.

Pisces-Expect strong imagination and strong emotion this month. Now is a good time to do research, but love may take a deep turn. Your thoughts may become very deep. And emotion may take control and weaken you a bit.
