Hi there, it's just me, The Bumble Girl, popping on to answer a question that SO many of you have been asking :)
First, I want to give a HUUUGE shout-out to all of my new followers!
I am SO very happy to see so many people stopping by, commenting, lurking -
it truly makes my heart go pitter-patter!
Some of you know me as The Bumble Girl too and have asked me how I got this name -
I actually didn't come up with it, my hubs started calling me this after I started my first blog, Oh Bumble Is Me, Margie.
So where does the BUMBLE come from?
First, it started with my sister introducing me to scrapbooking and card-making... which then led to us wanting to blog about it. Which meant that I needed a blog name!
I wanted something really different that reflected my personality, so I asked hubs to help me andtell me how he describes me to people, and here is what he said:
loving, sweet, thoughtful, dedicated, creative, huge procrastinator (no argument there!)...
and clumsy... clumsy? lol, thanks so much, darling, for telling people this :)
Next, the thesaurus came out... creative... sweet... clumsy?
Bumble:
- To blunder awkwardly.
- To stumble or stagger.
- To hum or buzz, like a bee.
Bumble just kept jumping out at me. It sounded... right.
- I am clumsy, in so many ways - I do trip over my own feet and bump into things constantly, sometimes even taking out the people around me too, lol!
- My creativity is always touch and go with many trials and errors, I stumble through it and change gears and ideas all the time!
- I do adore and love all things with wings: angels, butterflies, faeries... and especially, bumble bees!
- AND, I hum! All. The. Time. Drives hubs and my kids crazy, especially when I get into a Christmas song loop, lol!
I named my blog. Started posting.
Whenever hubs catches me on the computer working on my blogs, he says:
The Bumble Girl is hard at work again :)
And this is how I got my name!
So when it came time to name my book blog, I just knew that I had to keep the 'theme' and that is how Bumbles and Fairy Tales came about.
Reading and books was and is my first true love! and it's what I am enjoying the most right now - bumbling through books and stumbling through fairy tales - traveling through different worlds and meeting and falling in love with new and different characters!
And, well, it's what I do best - bumble through life's ups and downs -
no other place I'd rather be right now!
