A quick update...

No pictures for this post, but since it's been a while I thought I'd give a quick update.  Summer has been great so far.  Very busy, lots of vacations planned.  In between trips I'm trying to stay caught up on work and painting.  I have 5...yes 5 pieces I'm finishing up this week to put in my booth.  I started setting up a booth at a local farmers market and that seems to be going well.  I have so many pictures to load and edit to share.  Can't wait to get back in the swing of things!

Ok, so one picture.  This is what the kids and I created for a special little girl's birthday.  They are moving soon so I wanted to create something special she can take with her to the new house....where ever that may be.  Not only will her fairy garden get to come with her for the big move, but so will her new fairy friends!



The boys started with the ladder.  They wanted the fairies to be able climb in and out of the little garden.  The clay leaves and logs fire pit were my favorite.  We added a bridge and some stepping stones.  I had intended on using some glass stones for the path, just to add a little sparkle, but the boys burried them instead.  Then added some shovels to the mix.  They thought it would be fun for the fairies to dig for burried treasure. After creating the little bunting banner we were all set.  Apparently our fairy garden creation was a hit!  I'll definitly be doing this for my nieces next....or for the boys.  They want to add one to our garden once the landscaping is done.

Well, that's it for now.  I'll update again soon...well, maybe August!

Thanks for stopping by!
