  • LOST BUT LOVED

    “I’ll never leave you” is the funniest statement to me in any love story. It doesn’t always happen as you have always known. Never once did I imagine he could do this to me, no, us. Not just the two of us, but another two of our own kind.He could have waited for our silver wedding but…He left me.Too much in a hurry to leave.Not stopping once to think what and who he’ll be leaving behind.

    Tick Tock Croc

    Tick Tock CrocI could not take my eyes off Pixie Hollow, the island where the fairies live, it was beautiful, always glittering with gold pixie dust. It has become a habit of mine to admire their fantastic island from my boring one, Croc Creek, but today is different, today is the day I visit Pixie Hollow. Mama Odie, the Voodoo priestess, promised every creature in Croc Creek one wish, provided they present an outstanding gift to her. It seemed like a fair deal, I had asked creatures who had visited Mama Odie, for gift ideas. They all told me to go big and glamorous, to www.onedoor.ccfind rare herbs or arti...dyUone door
