I made a Fairy Garden! Plus some exciting news!

Good evening everyone!

Before I get going on my planned post for today, I wanted to share some exciting news with you.  So as you know from my last post, I entered a blog challenge with the Kenny K Krafty Krew.  Well guess what??  My project got selected by the designers as TOP 3!!!  I am SO excited!!  I am a HUGE fan of the Kenny K images, so this is a real honour for me :)  So check out my shiney new Blog Candy on the side bar!  I also get a FREE Kenny K digi!!  I'm on Cloud 9!!

So now, back to my regularly scheduled (yet 3 days late) blog post.  You guys, I drank beer and made a Fairy Garden on the weekend!  My sweet friend Mel surprised me with this kit from Michael's a little while ago, and the weather was FINALLY nice enough for me to get out and do it!  J and I went to Canadian Tire where we got the container, soil and a few plants, and then he cracked me a beer and said "Get to it!", and I did!

My supplies

This kit is available at Michael's

I bought this at Canadian Tire for $19.99, I love it!

Rocks in the bottom so I can be cheap with the soil lol

I used those flat back lass marbles to make the pathways, they are BEAUTIFUL when the sun hits them!

Had to make sure to get a shot so you can see the fence!

English Daisy - Galaxy Red

Osteospermum - Astra Pink (African Daisy)

Pepper Purple Flash

 I am SO happy with how this turned out!  I also planted green onion seeds in the empty spots, so hopefully they will grow up and be edible :)  I hope to find lots of goodies to put in here over the summer.  Who knows?  Maybe the Fairies will bring me something lol

Have YOU made a Fairy Garden?  Send me pictures, I'd love to see!

Miniature Pet Shop!

Good Morning my lovelies! Today I want to share with you a little project I worked on while I was discovering Netflix...

A few months ago I found this kit on ebay, and it was about $10 with free shipping from China. I get THE BEST deals from China I swear! Anyway, I have been in a huge creative slump for the last few months, so I decided to dig it out and try working on miniatures for a while instead of cards/etc.

So while watching entire series of 'Community' and 'Parks & Recreation', THIS is what I made!

Then the front swings open and...

And some closeups.

This kit came with instructions, in Chinese, and all of the contents were made by hand from paper, sheets of felt and fabric, ribbon, twist ties, small wood pieces, wires, beads, and cardboard.  It took forever, but it was so worth it in the end!

I'm slightly obsessed with miniatures, and now that I've actually MADE something, I think I'm ready to move on to my next project: A 1/2 in scale lighthouse!
Let me know what you think!

Sorry for the unedited shots, I haven't step up Photoshop on the laptop yet.  Shocker, Me procrastinating ;)
