I watered all morning. We're not expecting rain until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thanks for looking at the little kingdom!
Love it, LK!!
Thanks for the compliments, I'm working on cake boxes, need to find some cellophane for the box window.
So cute!
That is so cute!
Mittsy, that is so darn cute!
LK, love your creations! Really like the dragon! My oldest daughter (31 years old now) had a "see and say" when she was little that said the numbers. When it landed on "1", it would say "One Purple Dragon." i made her a ceramic purple dragon Christmas ornament that year and it was hung on the tree every year until 2005 when Katrina took everything. Looking at your dragon made me remember that. Bittersweet memory because we would still have it now if Katrina hadn't ruined everything. BUT the memory is cherished! ♥
Mittsy $1.00 store here has the plastic that laminates your SS Cards ID cards would that type work for you they are 3x3 's or 4x4's squares not sure how many to a pack .
I checked the recycle bin and found a nice clear plastic tray. Works fine.
My niece playing with my fairy goodies! Julie, that is your house that she's embellishing!
She looks seriously engrossed!
She's in a zone alright! We stayed up half the night creating, and she went right back at it as soon as she woke up! Can't wait to show you guys the finished product...it's going to be amazing!! She has so much talent and just 13 yrs old! You should see what she can do with architectural software! ....wow...
Post photos when you can Tracy.
< < < is a photo of the fairy house I sent to Froggie...
Would love to see what Froggie has created for her Halloween Scene
:-)

Here's my before photo. I gave up on it this summer because puppy kept eating everything..fixed that turd up with cayenne pepper.
With annettes plants...still have to decorate
Tracy, she is talented! And so helpful. May I borrow her for a few days? LOL
Badcat, looking good! Ready to see the decorations!
I'm going to upload pics before I forget! Right now!
Ok, The first photo is the fairy house Babette sent me. It will go in my outdoor fairy garden.
Other photos show my daughter's Halloween garden! The gate in the front, the miniature gargoyles, and one of the houses is what I'm offering for game prizes. Journee loves her garden! Halloween is her favorite holiday! We got all of the decor, moss, and pot at the dollar store!
Now pics of my 3 little sprites!
Liam 6-years-old
Caden 8-months-old
Elani 6-months-old
My sweet grandbabies!
I love all the little gardens coming together. I need to find a place for mine!
The gardens are looking good! And such sweet faces on those GBs Julie!
I need to get out there and get busy on my Fairy Garden!
Liam is my heart! ♥ Oh, how I love him! Don't get me wrong, I love the others, but I helped raise Liam for almost 2 years! He's more like my son than grandson!
Caden is so smart! Already trying to walk! Growing too fast!
Elani is my little leprechaun! She has red hair and blue eyes, and she is full of mischief! We just got her a walker and she is all over the house!
I will be Nanny again next April... Elani will have a younger sibling. They will be just one year apart. I think I'm in trouble! LOL Nah, I had three babies in three years, so I can handle it! LOL
Beautiful GC's... Teach them early how to garden and grow peas.....or a Chia Head is always fun.....
When I was their age, I was playing in the sandbox in the greenhouse and learning straight from the gardener how to grow by seed...I'm still doing it today... :-) ... well in the Spring/summer.... today it was rain with a mix of hail... sometimes the size of a quarter......I have so much to plant.....it snowed at Kirkwood Ski Resort today....I miss cross county skiing..... Oh, it will be here in no time!....
Babatte, I too was playing in the sand in the greenhouse at that age. Only it wasn't the gardner teaching me how to grow things, it was my parents. We owned a modest glass greenhouse and flower shop. And it has stuck with me as well. I was born with a love for flowers and raising plants, but I feel certain my early experience in the greenhouse and my Grandmother's garden was a huge influence on my becoming so passionate about growing things. There is not a day that goes by that I don't thing about those times.
