80 days to go!

80 days until we launch the single! Can't believe how the time is flying. It's been a bit of a lull while Tess is editing the video and Alan and Andy editing the record, so I'd not really taken note of how the time is going by. ( Also Santa and I have been just a little distracted by finding a new house and putting ours on the market. But we've found somewhere with a fantastic parking place for the sleigh so really have to take the opportunity to snap it up!)
I've seen the very first video shot with special effects from Tess today and it looks great. On Friday I'm going over to see the first cut of the whole thing - can't wait!
We've set up a Friends group - Treetoppers Friends of the Children's Hospice South West, and a bank account, ready for when the money starts pouring in - we hope!
My fairies don't seem to need the winter weather to get up to mischief - I caught a couple having a sneaky glass of wine in the garden last week when they should have been sorting a pile of teeth - the children seem to have far too many toffees in the school holidays and the tooth fairy needs a lot of help.
A fairy's lot is not an easy one!

Santa and I are making plans! Well, it's now only 95 days to launch . I missed the 100 days - hadn't realised how fast the time was flying. Still waiting for the record and the video be be finished, and it's been a bit of a quiet time, but having missed the 100 day mark I realised I ought to start planning for our big publicity blitz, so am making a list ( Santa's good at that so he's helping!), and thinking about ways to make our publicity stand out.
And the knitting fairy has turned to sewing for a change, to make a lovely doll to be our 12th fairy. and we will invite people to pay to guess her name, with the winner getting our Dyson vacuum cleaner - brand new and unused except for some invisible fairy dust! The name, and the winner, will be announced at our launch party.
