MeRMaiDS !!!

"I think every little girl's dream is to be a mermaid or to see a mermaid.
[When I was younger] I would go to the beach and cover myself in the sand.
People from different cultures and centuries
have the same idea of what mermaids are ...
so that's maybe a cool thing to think about." Emma Roberts

“A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.”
William Butler Yeats

Thank you to Lisa Kettell of

Faerie Enchantment
for hosting such a wonderful, magical, seaside, mermaid party!



Here is a captured mermaid I made!

Here is a little Mermaid in a bottle my daughter made for me.

This is a wee little mermaid matchbox I made for a swap!

I just adore these mermaid figures!
I own a few but I would LOVE to own all of them!

Someday, I am going to own a small cottage right smack dab on the ocean.

My whole cottage will be filled with mermaids inside and right outside my door!

HaPPy EaStER !!!

I love putting out my Easter village.

I didnt get it up for the past two years.

This year I got it out and glittered the whole thing!

It took me two days.

Here is a Easter egg banner I made using my Bad Girls Feb kit.

A few eggs I fixed up, using various trims and stuff.
I love the way they turned out.

Just various decorations around my house,
some of which I have made and others bought.

A topiary tree I made for my Mom.

Me and my Mom. Kassandra, Desi and Justice
made little Easter baskets out of peat pots.
I got the idea from Kenner Roads blog.

Here is mine.

Desi displaying her garland she made.
