Summer Celebration
Fly with you, Pixies! I'm doing my own little Mainland event-of-sorts to celebrate the season of Summer. I've grown to dislike Summer even more since the closing of Disney's Pixie Hollow; what I loved about the game was that it made me appreciate how unique and special each season was. So I decided in order to survive through the heat , I'd find Pixie Hollow ways to celebrate it. And I invite YOU to join me. Every week, starting today (July 21, Thursday), there will be a new theme. This week it's Tinker Fairies and Treasure What I plan to do is little Mainland activities everyday, like watching The Pirate Fairy shorts one day and going virtual-exploring another day. Today I went to Fairyabc's Pixie Hollow and hung out in Palm Tree Cove to think up a possible Pixie Hollow badge event: a Treasure Hunt! You can join in by sharing your own Tinker Talent & Treasure activity and 'earn' this week's badge (I will be posting the badge here and you can save it to your own virtual leaf journal, or print it out and glue it in a real badge journal.) So wear green and put on your favorite Tinker Bell shirt and celebrate Summer with me! Tinker Bell's Treasure Hunt: Everybody's favorite tinker-talent has arranged a nature-themed treasure hunt. Can you find all of these hidden gems in Palm Tree Cove? A circle in the sand; a shamrock glittering with pixie dust; a hidden beach; delicate pink flowers; a giant seashell; a little palm tree; a tiny shell in the shade; and the waterfall in Mermaid Lagoon.

Thursday News!
Hello Sunshines It's a new week, and this time we'll be appreciating the warm (and oftentimes hot) sun with Light Fairies and the Sun When it gets so hot in Summer I find it tough to give thanks to the sun's rays, it's the main reason why the season has become my least favorite. But I can't be so ungrateful, the sun is important in so many aspects that I could never write them all down! So this week I'll be trying my best to appreciate and enjoy the sun - now if only I could find my way to a good beach. Because Iridessa has the End of Summer Sparkler event, this week was given to Fira to host. Fira is known for her love of stargazing, and that's when she got the brilliant idea to make a badge event for just that. I'm going to try to see the Milky Way this week on the Mainland; here's a little information from Space.com: "It's possible that most people on Earth have never seen the Milky Way, the galaxy in which we live. The Milky Way used to be a part of every human's life experience, but now that the majority of mankind lives in cities, with their light pollution, the Milky Way is rarely seen. Our Milky Way galaxy is at its best for the next couple of weeks, but most of you will need to make a special effort to see it. It will probably require a drive of an hour or more to reach a dark enough location, where the Milky Way will be visible. Then it will require another 20 minutes for your eyes to become adjusted to the dark. What will you see? Not the brilliant array of stars you see in photographs made with long exposures. The real Milky Way looks like a faint band of moonlit cloud arcing across the sky." <-- So true! I have a childhood memory of being able to see the Milky Way in my own backyard, when my Dad and I used to stargaze together: I was looking up at the sky and pointed out this huge arch of what looked like a misty cloud. I asked him what it was and he nonchalantly told me it was the Milky Way. My eyes became all starry as I realized I was staring at the galaxy in which my home planet resided in. Do you know how excited I was!?! I hope that memory will always stay with me.

What a unique way of celebrating summer! I really enjoyed reading through the ideas you have shared so far, and your badges are as lovely as always. Makes me really wish to be able to fly into the Hollow again. However! Just being able to share the experience of these events with you is a pleasure. I have honestly been thinking of contributing to this thread, but haven't found inspiration/ideas for a new event as of yet. I've been so busy with juggling lots of responsibilities that I haven't been able to take the time to do something creative, oof.
Will be waiting for your next week's event!

Well, at least you're celebrating along with me by reading my 'News'. For me, I don't think too far out of the box when it comes to activities. Like for this week's theme, I wore a lot of clothes that reminded me of Fira and my own Light Fairy Crystal. Today, being the last day for Sun Week, I plan to look at pictures of known Light Fairies like Stella from the Winx Club, and of course Iridessa and Fira.
I wanted to share my experience with trying to see the Milky Way. I couldn't go drive off for an hour to get away from the light pollution, and it's sad to know that there is much more light pollution in my town as of present than it was in the past. So many of our neighbors have to have these blinding lights in their backyards; I understand trying to scare off raccoons, because our backyard has been visited by one, but come on People, do they need to be so bright and higher than your fence!? Anywho...I sat outside in the dark - brr~ - for around 20 minutes, and while I waited I let a lot of the night noises scare me to where I almost ran inside - but I stuck it out because I could see the faintest haze in exactly the same spot I saw it as a child, and if I just stayed out long enough I would get to see the Milky Way! But, alas, the haze got slightly more easier to see, merely confirming it was there but I still couldn't really see it. And as soon as I stood up, I got blinded by a street lamp. Ugh~ But! It was still really fun. I think I saw and heard bats! The noise they made scared me at first since I didn't know what it was, and then I heard a high-pitched screech and saw two gray things flying off. They had to be bats at 10:20 at night. I didn't know my town had bats, and I've never seen them in the wild, so it was a pretty cool experience. (Not my picture, though I had hoped to get one...)

Hey Pixies! This week's theme is a little different, it's based on a Japanese manga called "Aria", which is what my avatar and signature is from. "Aria" (by Kozue Amano) is very special to me, it helped me get through a tough time in my life by seeing the beauty and magic in the everyday and appreciating the wonderful world around me. Which is why I had to have it for my Summer Celebration. "Aria" is based on a future Mars where most of the planet's surface is covered in water, so the characters have to get around by gondolas and flying motorcycles. The main characters live in a town based on Venice, Italy; so I have plans to virtually visit Venice and maybe explore my town to find secret nooks (one of my favorite parts in the book series.) Zarina is hosting this week's event, since she loves adventure and trying new things: Visit her in her alchemy chamber to get a list of secret nooks around the four different seasonal meadows to fly to and discover.

This is a really fun idea, Sapphira! I can't wait until I can print out my badges! (After I create my Leaf Journal, of course!)
