Maddie's moving on.....

Hi Everyone,

Maddie has decided that she can't keep up with all her DT obligations. She was truly hoping she would be able to continue being a Jr. Fairy Princess.

School, homework and joining the Girl Scouts is taking all of her free time. She is finding out that Scouting takes some work too...lol So far we will be off doing stuff with the scouts every weekend...yikes camping this weekend!

She will still be sharing her creations on her blog on occasion I am sure. We want to thank everyone, especially Roberta for allowing her to be part of the team. You have all been so very kind and wonderful. Maddie has enjoyed every minute.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, we will miss visiting the Fairy Meadow and all the wonderful Fairies! See you all in blogland.

Bunches of hugs, Maddie & Nana Marjo

'Oh Happy Day"

Nana's Note:

Hi Everyone!

Maddie made this cute little card for her Dad or Uncle, they both love to go fishing!  She used "Fisherman Lewis" from Prairy Fairy Designs. 

Maddie's DT  project is a wonderful mid week reminder for Fairy Fun Fridays challenge.  The theme is "Snips & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails".  Pretty cute right...lol   Just means to create something masculine.  You have a week left so go ahead and join in the fun!

Since Maddie has been a little overwhelmed with the first few weeks of school she opted to use the already colored version of Fisherman Lewis.    Having the option of colored digis is great for both digital scrapbooking and out of time or lazy paper crafter...lol  

 She kept her card pretty simple, just the way she likes to do  them.  I am trying to get her to use my nesties and other punches a little bit more.   Almost everything she used is from my stash....  I think he turned out pretty cute.

We will be entering this cutie into the following challenges:

• Bearly Mine Button it Up
• Craft your Passion F-Family, fishing
• Crafty Boots Anything Goes
• Daisy Doodles Embossing
• House of Gilli Embossing
• IDIC Anything Goes
• Kelley Kids For Someone Special
• Kreative Stamp Friends For a Man
• OSAAT Anything Goes
• Papercraft Star Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by, Maddie loves to read her comments...

Some New's

Note from Nana:

Hi Everyone,

Just to let you all know that Maddie is now a Girl Scout!  Yippee lots of fun and lots of work...lol  This means she will be taking a break/or  stepping down from some of her DT work.  She has thought long and hard and has decided she will be concentrating on her Girl Scout activities.

We all know what that means....yikes Nana's all in too...lol  I am sure Maddie will still be making cards and such, right now she is working on  a book of drawings.  She tells me she's not ready to share those yet....of course she still wants to be a Fairy Princess...lol

I am sure we will be posting goodies in the future...lol  Oops, one more thing...her arm is fully healed and no one can tell it was ever broken.

Bunches of hugs, Maddie and Nana Marjo
