it had been many years since anyone had seen the castle or heard of it's grand announcements of the beautiful galas or dances held there......noone had even mentioned the castle in such a long time. what had become of it?......odd, that such a beautiful, enchanted place could be forgotten......but was it? perhaps there had been a slight mention of it......first, quietly, ever-so softly.......by the tiniest birds in the deepest part of the forest......then, quite later, by the woodsman who understood the language of the birds and had told the old man in the cottage by the lake. and in turn he had muttered something about the forgotten castle, (almost inaudibly), but the old man's granddaughter had a keen ear and she had managed to sort out his words quite nicely......it was the little girl, the cheerful and devoted granddaughter who understood......she knew........ the castle was still there. her name was isabella. she loved the forest, and the birds and her grandfather

"The two little chairs traveled to Paris" (see picture above) How uncanny it was that one day, a passerby happen to notice something beautiful but very mysterious hiding behind an old fence. The curious waunderer walked very slowly, so as not to frighten away this creature, oddity, princess or whoever it was and just as they were only 2 feet away, they realized....... it wasn't a person or anything like it, but two properly dressed fairy chairs, who at that moment stood absolutely motionless as they were terrified they might be discovered in their hiding place. The passerby stood happily, quite comfortable with himself......that he had indeed come upon such wondrous and odd little things.......chairs, but they had the aura and expression of true fairies......as if tiny fairies had transposed themselves into little thrones. He wondered and pondered the matter, but then, suddenly, a great clammering came upon the corner where he stood so he turned to see the cause of it.

Once upon an enchanted time, filled with dreams of dancing and fluttering birds and singing angels......there lived a little girl whose eyes were filled with the memories of the fairy world. She found herself often walking quietly in the deep and beautiful forest.......she would listen to the voices and whisperings of the little creatures in the woods......delicate and mysterious. They spoke to her. The birds would sing to her from their nests in the branches......she knew the language of the birds and raccoons......she felt the spirits of the gentle leaves and the stories of the soil, ancient and beautiful. She would walk to the quiet lake and the streams and there beside the waters, she would create little fairy worlds from the leaves and the findings that she would gather about the forest. Little rabbits would quietly and patiently come to her side and listen to her songs. The deer would watch curiously from their glens. She was unafraid. The forest was her wondrous home. She lived

I have been thinking lately a lot about my life and my past and wanted to write about myself on my blog so that people can get to know me better. Blogs are such an incredible way to reach out to the world. There is so much in each person's life that is meaningful and worth sharing. I know I always love reading and learning about other people so I thought perhaps you might like to know more about me. And I hope you will leave your comments or email me because that is really the absolute best part of blogging......hearing from other people. It makes it all worth the effort and time and care......to hear from others and to feel your spirit and heart. I dream of having a wonderful studio, a huge space filled with wonderful windows and with lots of tables and shelves to set matierals and projects out on. I would decorate my studio the way I want to make it truely beautiful and unique. I dream of painting and making my little fairy furniture and collages, doing my photography, making cha

Last night, my husband Mike and I stayed up after watching Nanny McPhee and made up a wonderful, funny story about Cake! We started talking about how wonderful the smell of cake is and we were reminiscing about how Mike used to tell me that I smelled like wedding cake! So, we began to tell a story together........something we do a lot......make up funny stories together. One of us will start the story and then the other person continues and on and on. We will have to finish the story to add it all to my blog, but it was so funny that I thought I would just tell you a little of it right now. We wanted to make fabric that smelled like cake so that when we made clothes out of the fabric, we could smell the wonderful happy smell of cake! So, we found some wonderful old faded material and put it in a large vat. We added soap and water and then milk and 6 boxes of wonderful cake mixes......lemon and vanilla, orange, chiffon, banana and spice!! We mixed it all together and then rinsed it and

Hi again...... I just wanted to ask if any of you know of some good scrapbooking companies that carry really unusual papers?? I use papers so much in my work and am always looking for shops to buy papers from. I found one absolutely wonderful shop this last weekend called "Sweetpeas and Snapshots" on Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles. It is so dreamy and cute and is decorated just wonderfully!! If you live in the area, I hope you will have a chance to go see it. We had so much fun going there. But I am always looking for more shops that carry really nice papers, so if you know of any companies that do have unique scrapbooking papers, could you please let me know?!! That would be wonderful!! Also, I am still looking for other wonderful shops or galleries that have unusual handmade art or creations.....or home interior stores with unique objects......I love going to wonderful shops and just have not found very many in our area. Some of my favorite things that I would love to share with

Hello dear friends...... So sorry for not writing in so long. Just life's busy daily tasks keeping my time away from creative fun, but here are a few of my favorite little pieces. I made these in Washington state when we were renting a wonderful old beach house. It was wonderful. We had so much room to create. I think that's why these turned out so nice, because I was happily working away. Will add more later today. Love and smiles to all..... Debbie

Hello dear friends...... I have not been posting anything on my blog for quite a while because we weren't able to access the internet. I am so grateful to finally have the internet again and to be able to post some new things on my blog. Also, to be able to see all of your wonderful blogs, too, has been wonderful as I missed visiting your blogs so much. It is incredible how being able to write to different people all over the world has meant to me......it just lifts my spirits so much to have friends who appreciate so many of the same beautiful things in life. Thank you for your dear hearts and thoughts!! I just wanted to share a few thoughts with you......things I have been thinking about. The most important thing on this earth and in this life is that we learn to be kind to other people and to care about them. We are born as good, beautiful and kind human beings. We need to recapture that beautiful spirit of love and thoughtfulness. We need to remember that nothing means as much
