A Note from Deb:~

With October being the month that my DH and I got married I thought it would be interesting to hear how all of you met your other half. So that’s what I came up with for the theme this month…I’d love to hear your story!

Thank's Deb

I've been having fun working on extracting beautiful intricate little fairy houses for your lovely pages, as soon as I got one extracted I just had to do a creative digital card with it. These delightful little homes are made by Rachel and offered for sale on her website, they are the most detailed and intricate fantasy little houses you ever did see! I just fell in love with each one and had to ask Rachel to let me pretty please have permission to use them in my kits. She was so gracious with me, so in my next project I will be bringing you these gorgeous little sweet houses to put your adorable little fairies in and enchant your son's and daughter's pages with. You can buy these wonderful fantastical little homes for yourself from Rachel at either her Etsy shop or her site LINK

Rachel put me onto another Aussie who does wonderful magical photography, it's worth a visit to Vanessa's site hourglassphotography.com.au to check out her beautiful little fairies, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there and sincerely wish she lived locally! don't these little girls look like real little fairies playing in the enchanting moss covered forests?!

Thank-you Rachel and Vanessa for giving us many inspiring daydreams...
