Bumble Bees Have Feelings too!

Pink saturday Bee
That's what I have to keep 

telling myself every time one flies by me

 so i don't freak out like a crackhead and start running and flapping my arms.

Bees have feelings.

Wasps have feelings....

I wasn't thinking that three weeks ago when I had to "call someone" to have our wasp problem taken care of. 

 I confess my sparkly friends-

I hired a hit-man

to 

"take care of a situation".

By situation I mean "not being able to go in and out of my house or car without being bullied by a flying stinging pissed off insect."

Wasps... Hate em.

Wasps are like

 Midlife crisis Men Driving Corvettes...

You really just need to stay away from them!
Ok,

Back to WASPS-

I know, I know- all life is to be respected and even scary wasps are part of the ecosystem.

just...

not that many-

-living in every orifice of my house-

-coming into my bedroom uninvited even though all of my windows are shut-

and 

-trying to nest in my car door.

So needless to say I still felt tremendously guilty watching my gun for hire neutralize my situation.

Which brings me to Bumble bees.

I had a chance yesterday to do a good deed for a relative of those wasps yesterday

and I did!

I helped some Bumble bees.

Furry, chubby fat black and yellow bumbles, nesting in my garden.

You see, I was making this really swell circular bed

for my Pink Fairy Cottage post Here

and picked up the fountain statue from my front bed

and heard a multiple buzzing sound.

Eeew.

I knew what that meant.

I carefully went over to where my statue had been

and there was a 

bumble bee nest

newly exposed.

A funny thing happened...

Instead of freaking out, I felt bad for those 

little rolly polly chubsters.

I went and got an empty flower pot

and gave it to them.

 Heck- I was feeling so happy that I even 

gave them a handful of tree stuff to help plug the holes.

 Look at this adorable little bumble creeping around to find stuff to shore up the nest!

 So I feel like I am a little closer to becoming

stinging insect tolerant.

At least

I know my flowers are happy...

Ok, I am too!

So Have a Sparkly Day my friends!!

And a VERY
HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY
to Miss Beverly
and PINK SATURDAY!!!

Sparkly Hugs,

Tobi and the Pixies!

Get Your Sparkle ON!! New Blog- Sparkly Giveaway!

Hello My Sparkly Friends!
and Happy Pink Saturday Mother's Day Weekend!!
So why is everybody so
Excited???

Well to begin with, it's  
Mother's day weekend, so no cooking hopefully....

It is also

PINK Saturday

so here is some pink delishiousness

And the MOST EXCITING IS

 I started this new blog called 

Sparkle Mining 

that I would love for you to visit and follow!

"Another blog Tobi??   Seriously??"

Yep- my sparkly friends... here's why, and a bit about me that you already know...

I am Tobi  from Pink Pixie Forest!   (that you already know)
I make all sorts of sparkly things with my Pixies. 

Now here's a little bit about me that you probably didn't know...
I am a makeup artist by trade- but have been falling in love with creating things over the past few years.  I owned a popular makeup school in the city for over 17 years called

The Makeup Shop

After closing it a few years ago i
fell into such a deep depression that I just
didn't know who I was anymore.

What saved me was ART !!!  

I started gluing sparkly things on trees and blogging.  I took online classes like Brave girls Club and Suzi Blu. I made a  Labyrinth   in my backyard from free bricks i found on Craigslist.
I opened an Etsy shop and put up a
website (that i am really bad at updating) ...

And now I have started this blog- Sparkle Mining,
 to help women
reclaim their sparkle and get happy again.
 I am not a doctor or a psychologist,
just a woman
 who has been trying to 
reclaim my own sparkle
 and I want to share my process with you.

We have no control over the circumstances 

life can throw us... 

we can only control how we react to them!

Life happens...Sparkle Anyway! 

Ok- like HOW STINKIN CUTE is this picture??

 

 I want Sparkle Mining to be a place where women 

can go to feel better, get inspired and out of that "funk".  

You don't even need to be in a "funk" to enjoy it-

All the info there is free and I am adding to it daily.  

I write about courses I took, 
books that were helpful or inspiring to me- 

basically the tools I have been using to get back to myself again and

 sparkle brightly! 

I will be making videos as well so you can actually

 sit and have me talk to you like we are having a cup of tea together! 

 It's my little way of giving back.  

So please spread the word for me
