I was just enjoying autumn as I was flying around… then I bumped into DUMBELLA! I had flown out of Pixie Hollow, over Butter Cup Canyon. A cloud popped up ahead of me. i love to play in clouds so I headed into it. She dove into it from the other side.

The DUCK and I met head on in the middle — ouch — and tumbled down landing outside the Autumn Forest. We weren’t hurt really although I did have to help her plunk one of her tail feathers back in place.

I didn’t know I could talk DUCK because I had tried before when I met DONALD DUCK at Disney Studio when I was the hostess on Uncle Walt’s TV show. But Dumbella and i could talk pixie to fowl just like we’d grown up together.

Oh, by the way, it turns out that Dumbella is Donald’s sister! I offered to be her guide around Pixie Hollow — not all of it only the places she could fit in… ducks are much larger than fairies – but alas, Dumbella had to get back to pick up her three llittle boys from school.

She promised to keep in touch and keep out of clouds.

You all have some fun and fantasy today

   What Ho! (That’s Pirate talk, you know…)

   Diane, thanks for your happy words. Made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

   I think it’s just marvelous that the movie people who made my new film, TinkerBell, knew all the facts about when I first came to Neverland and Pixie Hollow.

   Honestly, I couldn’t help them much. I’m sort of a lot more interested in what’s happening TODAY. It’s so much more fun to peek around a corner and find something new to discover.

   I tried to help Margaret … er … Margaret Kerry, too, by remembering things that happened when we met at Disney Studios. She’s writing a book, you know. I fear that I have slowed her up because I just don’t keep things like that in my head!

   But the book, Tinker Bell Talks, is all about me, of course, so I have really tried to find a few minutes now and then to come up with a story or two about the time when we pranced around on the sound stage in front of the camera. Actually, SHE did the prancing and director Marc Davis and I gave our stamp of apporval on her work.

   Alas, I tried… I REALLY DID. But it seems that there is often  some adventure calling me. I’m just not terribly interested in bringing back yesterday when there’s so much waiting for me today.

You all just keep Ringing My Bell!!

    In my  movie, TinkerBell, it is explained that the way a fairy comes-to-be is that a baby’s first laugh is somehow able to ride the wind all the way to Neverland. Once there, that laugh turns into a fairy.

   Well, this is true… but what happened to me is very unusual.

    In my case, it was a baby’s first GIGGLE that made it to the island and to Pixie Hollow. That made me just a little different. Even my ‘talent’ is different.

   Everyone in Pixie Hollow knew that. Why, when it was learned that my talent was a Tinker Talent I was placed under the care of fellow Tinkerers, BOBBLE and CLANK,  and they had assumed that I was going to be a boy.

   The clothes at-the-ready in my new home were an extra large size. Large enough for a fella. Yes, it was most unusual for a Tinker Fairy to be a girl. But we all know I’m clever enough to even fashion clothing to fit.

   So I say that a main reason that I am different because it all started with me from a baby’s giggle and not a baby’s laugh.

    I didn’t want to appear stuck-up so I asked those behind the movie to not bring it up when they were making my movie. Just t hought my friends might like to know about the giggle.

   But there are other reasons… For example … oh… I have to go now… well, maybe next time I’ll tell you about …. 

Just Ring My Bell!

     Kristen .. thanks for you note.  It’s so nice to know that you BELIEVE, too! 

     Saw my new TinkerBell movie. I thought I .. er .. it looked adorable.

   I have lost a little weight in the hips and thighs… must be the ‘Jack Sprat’ diet food I’ve been eating.

   Back to the movie — it catches the way I remember Neverland when I first came there. Beauiful! More than beautiful.. It’s dazzling.

    I do think that Fairy Mary works too hard, though. What’s your opinion?

‘You Ring My Bell!’  Tink
