Roberta’s Craft: Wrapped Valentine Candy Bars
I’m going to take a page out of my friend Alex Tiger’s crafty book and make up some delicious Valentine’s Day Candy Bars. These are super-easy to make, and totally fun to give (and get!). What you need:Miniature chocolate bars (or, if you’re feeling REALLY generous, full-sized ones), construction paper, glue stick, scissors, glitter or stickers What you do: Create a wrapper for each candy bar. You can do this by measuring the bar and cutting paper that will fit around it. Decorate that paper with different colored hearts or a label. Try using colors that look good together – and are ones that you’d see on Valentine’s Day. Using your glue stick, attach the label or hearts. Add stickers or glitter to your wrapper. Write on any messages that you’d like to share. Wrap the wrapper around the chocolate bar and secure it with glue. Give one out to all your friends this Valentine’s Day.
Roberta’s Valentine: Sweet Butterfly
Roberta here with another fun Valentine’s Day craft! The big day is less than a month away, so I’m getting SUPER excited. Today’s craft is very easy – but totally cute! What you need: Wrapped sticks of gum (one per friend), construction paper, heart stickers, stick-on wiggle eyes (or stickers you can use for eyes), markers What you do: 1. Cut out two hearts from the construction paper. Stick them on your wrapped piece of gum, securing them in place with stickers. 2. Add stick-on wiggle eyes or other stickers as eyes. 3. Decorate the wings with markers and stickers. Write your friend’s name on the back of the wing. 4. Pass these out to your friends on Valentine’s Day – they’ll LOVE them!
Dacey Bryn, Where Are YOU?
Have you ever gotten to the point in a friendship where you realize that maybe, just maybe, it’s not going very well? I’m at that point with Dacey. I called her again today (that’s the fifth time in two days) and she just isn’t answering her phone. About two hours after I called, she sent me this text message: “C – call you sometime. Stop calling. Very busy! -D” I don’t even know what to say about that! I’m so sad. I thought she was my friend – my true friend. Sure, we don’t see each other very much, but up until recently she always sent me emails and we chatted on the phone a couple times each week. But now? Now I don’t even get the courtesy of her answering my phone calls! Now the emails are short and not very friendly at all! It seems to have started when she began filming her latest movie. Maybe she’s just too big a star to be friends with boring old Cowabelle. I tried talking to Roberta, but she told me to chill out and focus on my other friends for now. … Read more
Millie’s Snow Pig
My friend Molly’s little sister, Millie, wanted to appear in the Newz, so she decided to call me on the phone this morning. She said she had “breaking news” and that if I wanted to be a good reporter I should come over to her place. So I did. And guess what I saw? A cute little snow pig with pink cheeks! Millie made this ice sculpture and then used a plant misting bottle with water colored red with food coloring to add the pink cheeks! She just sprayed on the red water and voila – adorable! I’m not entirely sure this is ‘newsworthy,’ but it definitely is cute!
Salley: Detention Day 4
I can’t believe that Purr-Cilla! She came to detention tonight five minutes late, and then said to Ms. Cowoline “I think I’m going to be sick, my stomach hurts so much.” She DID look a bit pale, but it was hard to say if it was because of sickness or makeup! No matter, Ms. Cowoline looked really worried and told her to go home and feel better. Me? I got to wash all the blackboards in the school! This is where things got interesting. When I was in the grade seven classroom, I looked out the window and saw a whole bunch of kids playing in the school yard. Including Purr-Cilla. She was sliding down the hill and giggling and laughing and she seemed to be feeling absolutely, 100% fine. I threw my washing rag into the bucket of water and stomped down to Ms. Cowoline’s office. I told her what I saw, and Ms. Cowoline looked REALLY angry. She looked out the back door of the school and saw Purr-Cilla for herself. Then she did something strange. She said “Salley, you can go home. And don’t worry about detention tomorrow night.” So I … Read more

Salley’s Valentine’s Party Problem
I’m having a bit of a problem. See, Valentine’s Day is coming up and Stoogles is convinced that we should have a Valentine’s party. Which would be fine, if we were going to have it in the forest at his house. But NO! He wants to have it in town, at my house. Which wouldn’t be a problem if my mom was going to be home and able to chaperone. But she won’t be! She has a late meeting at work that night. I told Stoogles that we can’t have a party at my house without my mom there, but he said we’ll be really careful and only invite our closest friends. He asked if Mom would object to the ‘Kinz coming over. I said no, and he said, “What about the ‘Kinz and a few of their closest friends?” I said probably not, but I’m really worried about what he means by ‘closest friends.’ I keep trying to convince him to do it at his house, but he said his family wouldn’t appreciate the noise in the house, and it’s too cold out for an outside party. How do I convince him … Read more
Purr-Cilla: Detention Day 3
My mother always says I’m the smartest girl she’s ever met, and I think that genius was evident in my brilliant plan to avoid detention today. What was did I do? Simple! Yesterday, I told Ms. Cowoline I had a dentist appointment. And did she believe it? Of course! And did I have an appointment? Not at all! But instead of dealing with the horrible half hour with Salley Cat, I got to go home, have some snacks, watch some TV and chill out. All it cost me was fifteen minutes of cafeteria cleaning at lunchtime. Which, by the way, I pretty much didn’t have to do anyway. Malena just cast a spell that cleaned up the cafeteria. Just one of the benefits of having a fairy for a BFF! Anyway, I’ve got to think up something to get out of dealing with detention tomorrow night. Maybe a doctor’s appointment? Or some kind of last-minute illness? Anything to avoid hanging out with Salley.
