Q - do you believe in fairies?
we have a lot of fairy talk in our house...and lately the fairies have been visiting ivy's room late at night - she has a special collection of 'sap crystals' (little crystals collected from the trees!) that the fairies move around and form special shapes with...a heart, her name etc. sometimes they sprinkle fairy dust on their creations too. it's very magical!
hope your week is full of magic and creating...i'm working on getting some links on my blog with all the Q's and the flickr group easy to find. bear with me!
what an absolutley beautiful thing to do with your daughter

I love this question! My mum used to write notes from the fairies and leave them in my dolls house so I would find them in the mornings!

When I went to see "Finding Neverland" in the theatre, I was sad to see that I was the only one who clapped when in the original play all had to clap their hands to keep Tink alive. I got a few turned heads and the movie gestapo was rather indignant about this, but I didn't care. I do believe in fairies!!! Some months later, I rented it to watch with my sweet-faced babies. I was swelled with mother pride, knowing I was raising them right, when my two angels clapped with all their might to save Tinker Bell at the same place in the movie where I clapped. Thanks for a great 52Q question.

I read this all the way through and admired the beautiful tag you made and just thought it was a random blog post but then for some reason I came back up to the top and realized it was the question for this week! And what an enchanting question! Love it!

we do the fairie thing here bigtime. Mini notes in the backyard, little glittered envelopes, they love it!
I haven't checked in in awhile, but everytime I do I'm always happy with what you're posting. I'll have to check back again and play along with your questions!
Oh, and I loved your spread in CK, that's what made me check your blog today!

Tricky Em, very tricky. Do I believe in fairies, first I thought, no, way past the age of believing in fairies, but then I thought of my 2 young grandsons both of who still believe in Santa Clause (well maybe not the 8 year old so much) and the Tooth Fairy, so I guess there are still fairies around in my life and maybe this question is not as hard as I first thought.

I do. I do. I do believe in fairies. :) I think you must have made this question for me so that I could make another fairy painting. I've got a little list of things I want to paint this year and 1/4 of them are fairy-ish. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to do it.

Hi again... wow, now what can i possibly make out of this one? I have a 5,5 year old boy running around my house, so there's not much fairyness going on here...
But i guess i can sleep on it a night... see what's 'cooking' in my mind... and maybe my inner child will speak to me in my dreams, about those lost believes in fairies?
Totally love this question-tag project btw... it's very inspiring to me... i got out a lot of art supplies (that have been waiting to be used!!!) for my last tag, and a had great fun playing around with those...

Emily-
I love that you asked that question!!!!!!!!!
We have a pink fairy door at the end of our hallway. It is about 6 inches high and 4 inches wide. Our fairy moved into our home in November and we love her. She has a fairy mailbox outside her door where she leaves us mail. We leave her mail to.We love fairies. If you look up www.urban-fairies.com you can see where our fairy is from. My kids love to visit the Fairy Doors in Ann Arbor. Thanks for making me smile.
