Nibbles Finds a Dress
Hi! It’s me, Nibbles and today I had a pretty good day for a change. I went shopping again with Plumpy and I really wasn’t into the idea because even though I really like Charles, I just don’t know how my life is going to change when they get married and I guess I’ve been kind of down on the whole wedding thing. So we walked into ANOTHER wedding store and at first I thought ‘Same old, same old.’ But then I saw this really lovely pink dress. It was so lacey and puffy. I thought it was so pretty. I guess Plumpy could see that I actually kind of liked this one because she immediately encouraged me to try it on. Well, when I came out of the change room, I felt like a princess! It was so lovely I knew it was the one I wanted. I twirled around in front of the mirror. But then Plumpy looked at the price tag and I could tell by the shocked look on her face that it was more KinzCash than she could afford, so I told her ‘never mind’ and I turned to go … Read more

Coming Clean
Oh man. You know that crazy stone Stoogles gave me and how it’s been working so well at bringing me luck? Well, it turns out that all of my friends were just playing a trick on me. Do I ever feel stupid. How did I find out? Well, I went to school today and I was positive that I had my lucky stone in the pocket of my jeans. It was working like a charm – literally – because this morning I aced my spelling test (and spelling is not really my strong suit). Then when gym came around I was kind of dreading it because I was sure I would be picked last for hockey. But guess what? I was picked first! And it wasn’t even one of my friends who was choosing today! And to top it all off, I scored a goal! It was a thing of beauty. When I was changing out of my hockey gear, I patted the pocket of my jeans to make sure I had my stone, but it wasn’t there. At first I thought I must have dropped it somewhere but then I … Read more

Millie’s Birthday Party
Dear Diary, Well, we had Millie’s birthday party today and I have to say: it went pretty well. Millie had fun (she said it was the best party she’d ever been to) and the other kids seemed to enjoy themselves. There were only a few minor incidents (of course). The first one happened when I was wrapping Millie’s gift (a jewelry box). I was in a huge hurry (I had to help decorate and the kids were arriving in less than an hour)…and I dropped it. It fell to the floor and made kind of a ‘clunk’ noise. I didn’t think much of it, until I opened it and found the ballerina that was supposed to dance around lying on her side! I got out my craft glue and glued her back into place and hoped for the best. I finished wrapping in record time. The good news is that the glue had dried by the time Millie opened the gift – and the dancer still danced around. Whew. The party started and everything was going well, until Millie started freaking out and saying that someone was … Read more

Fancy Flower Sandwiches
Millie’s party is coming up really soon, so it’s time to start preparing the food and getting the decorations ready! Since it’s almost springtime, I figured I’d make some adorable flower sandwiches. They’re so easy to make – and very cute. Here’s what you do: Make your sandwich. Millie likes tuna salad and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so that’s what we’ll be having at her party. Cut the sandwich out with a cookie cutter. You’ll want to use a cookie cutter that doesn’t have any really small parts (it might rip the bread when you cut it out). Because I’m making flower sandwiches, I’m going to garnish the middle of the peanut butter and jelly ones with cherries, and the tuna ones with olives! Put the sandwiches in the fridge until it’s time for the party. Make sure to wrap them well!

Letter from Laurabeard
Dear Nibbles, Hi again! We just made port so I wanted to be sure and send you a letter. Starting tomorrow I won’t be able to write you because we are headed into… the jungle! When Dogbeard was last in Kinzville he was talking to Arte Fact about a treasure that Arte’s friend, Matilda Monkey, had been hot on the trail of. Dogbeard thought it sounded a lot like a treasure that he found a map to in an old shipwreck on an island last year. So now we are going to try and connect with Matilda and share the map with her and maybe help find the treasure! Isn’t that cool? The locals say that a monkey matching Matilda’s description passed through their town a few months ago, stocking up on supplies for a jungle trek so we are going to follow her trail. This trip is so exciting, Nibbles! I wish you were here with me, but I will try to tell you everything that happens and take lots of pictures. Then it can be sort of like you were here. I really miss you! Hi to everyone! Love, Laurabeard
