Bright, blessed, vibrant Beltane to everyone who celebrates this beautiful Wheel of the Year--and to everyone else, joyous May 1st~ <3

Jenn and I always postpone Beltane celebrations until we're at the Fairie Festival, but we did a little bit of cavorting on the lawn today while hanging clothes...it's just crazy, getting ready for the festival and trying to get an update all squared away. *laughing* You know, posting an update two days before we're leaving because we're obviously crazed. ;D

So, the Beltane update is happening in the Fable Tribe tomorrow at five! We are going to try something very different for this one--I'm going to put up the picture preview in the morning, around eleven. You'll be able to see the Glamourkins that are coming (BOOK GLAMOURKINS AHOY), and the many Grottos we created--this update is Glamourkin and Grotto focused. And then, at five, everything will go live in the shop at once, so everyone has a very fair shot of getting whatever it is they have their heart set on, as long as they are at their computers at five PM, EST. I hope that works for everyone--we've been trying to figure out new ways that are ever fairer than before, so I'm excited about this one! I want to see what you guys think of it once it's over. :) <3

I still have to finish a story for an anthology I was invited to (so excited about it! The story is SLIGHTLY TRAGIC or SLIGHTLY UPLIFTING, depending on how you look at the ending. ;D), finish sewing the belt for my Puck costume for Saturday at the festival, go to the post office five billion times (thank the GODS our PO lady is awesome to the moon and back! <3), and get several things for the craft fair squared away. Oh, you know, AND UPDATE OUR ETSY SHOP, all before six AM on Friday morning, when we cavort our blessed little feet all the way to magic. <3 <3 <3

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, OMG I am so excited. XD XD XD You guys--we are WEARING OUR WEDDING DRESSES on Saturday at the Festival!!!!! Jenn and I were trying on all of the costumes pieces last night, making modifications and just basically doing a dress rehearsal of what we'll be wearing, and when the fabric of my wedding dress settled around my form, I had this intense surge of emotion. When I saw Jenn in that beautiful, divine gown again, I totally cried. ;-; ;-; ;-; I can't believe we're going to our fairy home, dressed in the same gowns we wore for our fairy wedding.

<3 <3 <3 Pretty effing happy~

What else? I feel that this is so word vomity--I've been wanting to make a post all day, but we had to finish the update, and then we had to package ELEVENTY BILLION THINGS, because we're currently selling everything we own on eBay to whittle things down to a more minimalist level. :D *laughing* We've been doing that for months, actually, but the BIGGEST eBay update got finished a few days ago. We have...fifty boxes? It's insane. ;-; AGAIN, THANK THE GODS FOR THE AMAZING POST OFFICE LADY FOR BEING AMAZING. And never getting cross when I bring in more packages than I can carry. XD

Last, but CERTAINLY not least, I found out late last night that The Dark Wife's episodes of The Way of the Buffalo were nominated for the Parsec Awards!!!! Hugh and Veronica are such incredible people, and I'm so excited and grateful that we're on the list! <3 This, coming VERY shortly before the audiobook version arrives online...it's just a dream come true. :) <3 SO HAPPY!!!!

I am FAIRLY certain that is ALL THE NEWS TO PRINT. ;D IN SHORT:

- OMG YAY FAIRIE FESTIVAL.
- The Fable Tribe is updating tomorrow!
- Packaging MANY THINGS take a LONG TIME.
- Parsec Awards nomination HOORAY!
- OMG YAY FAIRIE FESTIVAL.

Blessed Beltane! <3 <3 <3
