Em’s question for week 3…

I think the idea of fairies is fun… one of those magical little things that a child’s imagination can run wild with. As a child I was fascinated with the possibility of little creatures around my house that I couldn’t see. I remember reading this book… if I could only think of the title…about a boy that found he had little people living in his room and the adventures they had together. It wasn’t ” The Borrowers” or “The Littles“, although it was similar. It was such a magical story. I used to dream and pretend I had little people living in my room. I made little beds out of match boxes and used other items to make tiny little furniture and hid them in my dresser drawers hoping they would be found and used. Don’t think they ever were, but just maybe they were and I just never knew… who knows?

I read about these fairy doors that started mysteriously popping up in Ann Arbor a couple years ago. Such a fun, magical use of imagination. I found a few on etsy. Maybe we will have to install one in our home… I have been wanting to, as well as make a fairy garden for the chicklets.

Em’s question for this week is…

Am I afraid of change?

{I will be back to share later.}

I made the first few pages of my 52Q journal. I am so excited about this project, I think it will be neat to see what Em comes up with for us to journal about each week. Here are my pages for the first month of my journal. I am using the templates Cathy shared from another project a while back. I can’t find the link right now, but will look again and see if I can find it in case you want to use them, too. Curious to see what the question for week #2 will be. I think Em said she would be posting it tomorrow or Monday.
{I will be back tomorrow to share the pictures… it is too dark to take pictures of them tonight.}

I came across another cool idea for a mini journal on Emily Falconbridge’s blog… a fun little project that seems easy enough to keep up with. I think I might add it to my to do list. If you want to embark on this project, too you can visit Em’s blog to get the weekly question. I think it will be interesting to see how we change and grow throughout the year.

question 1: what do i wish for this year to bring?

{here are a couple pics from em ‘s blog to give you an idea how she is putting this together}
I followed along a couple of years ago with her when she did her mini art journal using a deck of playing cards. It was fun to get a new word each week to journal. Em is quite a creative person, I love everything she does.
