All Wrapped Up
Blog 31 – All Wrapped Up – Ms Paige Turner takes a festive break from intentional fibbing every Christmas …
To my three constant blog readers – you know who you are – and anyone else reading in – excepting spammers – a very merry Christmas and I wish you the gift of happiness this season.
Seasons is the theme for the coming Rhyme & Reason prose and poetry writing competition this coming year and the deadline is usually March.
In 2012 there will be exciting new developments for Creative Ink Publishing: branching out into E Publishing on Kindle. Maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas. What I will be doing at some point in 2012 is to be publishing the first chapters of my first novel Blackberry Promises on my blog. So watch this blog space.
This is my final blog for 2011 and the final piece of Karndean is now down in the extension – it’s Karndean and not Amtico as I fibbed on the last blog; but I also skilfully lay another porkie pie as that’s a bit hard for those blog readers not extending themselves. Mr Double Cream for Uxbridge (obviously one of my three regular readers) won it. Of course Carole Middleton has an ‘e’ on the end of her Christian name. I had intentionally omitted this. ‘E’s are so important as in ‘E’ Publishing and ‘Merry Christmas’ and important people’s names. Try writing four hundred words without using one if you have a spare hour. Four handout sheets of your choice, Mr Double Cream will be winging its way to you by email.
Wrapping presents gets more arduous with the years. My dentist has informed me that I must use scissors to cut Sellotape and this puts hours on the task.
What about that wedding frock then for the forthcoming nuptials of Miss Trial and Master Mind? It’s begun its journey and it’s over to Master Plan on that one. But, I’ll say this – whatever is good enough for Carole Middleton is good enough for this MOB.
That’s a wrap up for 2011.
Some places still left on Creative Ink Writing classes beginning Tuesday 10th and Thursday 12th January although reaching max soonish.

Hi Jan, I think your dentist was a bit churlish about the sellotape. I’d have thought you’d be better warned to use a bottle-opener when you open those bottles of beer.
I don’t wish to be churlish myself but shouldn’t,” people’s names” be,”peoples’ names” ? I learned my apostrophes at the foot of the master (mistress really) though I do still get them wrong occasionally.
The mistress of apostrophes says she is right as is. Belonging commas, John! Get them right.
Is there a fib this issue? Could it be that wrapping presents gets easier each year as we all get a bit grumpier about buying so many and whittle it down to just a few essential recipients?
That’s what’s happened in my case anyhow.
Bah humbug and see you later!

No fibs this bi-month. I’m on holiday.
