A Day In My Life

And the winner is...

I am going to post this again...if I don't hear from the winner by this weekend I will need to pick another winner.  Again, my feeling is if someone signs up to win something on a blog, I would hope they would come back and check it out:)

I did the random number generator and this is the number that came up. 

Here are your random numbers:

Stay tuned for more blog giveaways...why?  Cuz they are fun:)

Where have I been?? and a WINNER

Sorry I have been missing in blogland the last few days.  Sort of took a break from everything I possibly could...just needed to give the brain and the body a rest.

Thank you ALL for the kind words and thoughts about my Forgotten Fairies... It feels good to know that so many people appreciate them:)  Lisa has sold several at Silkweeds...and some of them are headed out of the state of Maine to new homes.  To me it is exciting to know that my Art will "go places".  I have a new batch of Fairies all ready for their new homes, I just need to carve out some time to create.  I also have a few special order ones almost ready to go to their new homes.  Now who won this adorable little beach fairy???

So what has life been dealing up?  Well first off this little gal is beginning to 'fit in":

She is trying to work the cute factor on them and it has worked on Guapito...but as you can see Amigo is still not sold on her.

Let's see...Lauren and I went school shopping and were out there for 13 hours!  13 HOURS!!!  I was exhausted...she was still going strong, it was like shopping with the Energizer bunny!  We got to have sit and have lunch with Bobo...that was nice and Bobo LOVED posing for pictures:)

I am still working on Nate's school shopping...I am having a HUGE problem trying to get his size 28x30 jeans.  Who wears a size like that anyway?  Skinny creep:)

And speaking of Nate...he had his first Football scrimmage the other night.  He said he and the other Freshman stood on the sidelines hoping that they wouldn't be thrown in with the HUGE upperclassman:0 They weren't...they got to play against other Freshman and Sophomores:

So...as you can see life is on full tilt.  I have decided that here in our town...Football is not just a sport "it's a way of life".  It is a crazy busy schedule...

We shall see you all soon:)

GIVEAWAY time!!!

Well, this has been a busy weekend...trying to tie up lose ends before our Fall schedule starts...lot's of football stuff...and hangin' with the family.  BUT as promised I finished the Special order fairy I needed to do AND I made a mini Forgotten Fairy Jar to giveaway (read on for how to win:)

The Special Order is for Lisa to give to her Mom.  Her mom "celebrated" her wedding anniversary this month...her husband passed away two years ago...so it is a bittersweet time.  Lisa "stole" a wedding picture for me and this is what I came up with They are Maine's Forever and Always Fairies Jill and Bobby:

Lisa loved it...I hope Jill does too.

I gotta say I LOVE creating these little wee fairies.  My brother asked me where I "catch" them...ofcourse I couldn't tell him I don't want him out there looking for them;)

So...the giveaway...is a mini Forgotten Fairy...she is a little touch of Maine.  Her name is Ellie and she is a Maine Beach Fairy.  She was washed ashore in a clam shell and happy to have a new home. She is in a jar 3 1/4 inches tall. If you would like to adopt her, just leave a comment on THIS blog entry by Wednesday August 26 at midnight.  I will do a random number generator on Thursday to pick a winner.  Anyone in the United States can win (sorry to you others:( alls you need to do is believe in Fairies. here she is...meet Ellie:

Don't forget you can see the entire collection of Forgeotten Fairies in the photo album on the right hand column of this blog.  Some of them were sold this weekend so I will be updating that and new ones will be added soon as we need to keep that display filled:)

Goodnight all...

Dancingly, Denise

Another BLOG PARTY!!!

The host of this party is here: ...FawnDear...: Second Star to the Right Adventure!  It's all about Fairies, pixies, pirates and more:)  If you go to her blog and look on the left column you will see the blogs taking part in the party.

Now I am thinking...what better time then now to have a party like this!  Here I am "saving" the  "FORGOTTEN FAIRIES" of Maine and having so much fun with them...I would love to meet new friends who believe in Fairies too:)  My story goes that my 17 year old daughter and I have always believed in fairies...my 14 year old son "did", but I think he is "jaded" now.  When they were kids we made sure we planted flowers and such that would attract the fairies.  Now, I am spending some time "saving" them.  Last week I shared the 25 Maine's Forgotten Fairies that I had finished and are now at SILKWEEDS Silkweeds Country and Primitive Gifts and Home Decor - Searsport, Maine  Here is the display again:

First off if you missed it here is their story:

I didn't want to repeat my blog entry from the other day for this party...but here is the thing.  When I am working on these Fairies...I have so much fun it feels like a party:)  So, today I thought I would introduce you to a few of them.  I have made the pictures smaller, so just click on them to enlarge them:

This is Sophia she is Maine's Garden Fairy

Meet Ellis and Grady Maine's Bath-time Fairies They should be Maine's CRANKY PANTS Fairies:)

This is AUDRA  Maine's Blueberry Fairy

This is Hilda  Maine's Halloween Fairy

and this little guy is Emerson he is one of Maine's Fall Fairies

 These are little Twin fairies named Ella and Esther

Well, I could go on and on...cuz there are 25 of them.  BUT if you look over on the right hand side of my blog you will see a photo album with all of them in it.  As promised, if you want to purchase one of them you can call Lisa at SILKWEED's 207 548-6501 and order it;) 

Now, I am going to extend my party by doing two things.  FIRST, I have a special order Wedding Anniversary one to do and I am going to make it this weekend and I will share it with you Sunday night.  AND, I am going to try my hand at a mini Maine's Forgotten Fairy...I have these adorable little jars and I want to try one out...sooooo  I will make it and show it on here Sunday night and GIVE IT AWAY!  ANYONE who places a comment  will get a chance to win it...so be sure to come back Sunday night (could be late;) to see the special order and to have a chance to win.

For now...I need to get rested up...I need to do some school shopping tomorrow morning, a football bottle drive...and football practice...it's going to be a busy weekend... I will need some PIXIE DUST!

Thanks again everyone...this was fun!

Dancingly, Denise  Stay tuned later tonight for my post about GOALS...for June,July and August!

A GIVE AWAY...Tell all your friends!

Hi everyone...

In honor of regaining ground in my house (it still needs alot of work, but I feel so much better than I usually do because I KNOW how much stuff I have gotten rid of in the last 5 months) Iam going to do a giveaway.  I have never done one before...BUT I want to give it a try.  So here is the scoop...I am trying to kickstart my PURSEnalities business and so I am going to give away this purse:

 (The bottle of water is just to show you the size)

"So", you ask, "how do I win this purse?"  Well, what you need to do is leave me a comment.  Yup, that's it...just leave me a comment.  What about?  I don't care...tell me something about yourself, something you like about my blog, what your summer plans are... The other thing you could do on top of leaving a comment is to tell others about the giveaway...and introduce them to my purses and my blog.  BUT...truly all you need to do is leave a comment...and you have until Monday night June 1 at 11:59pm.

Now, a little bit about this purse.  I sell my felted purses on Etsy at www.dancinglydenise.etsy.com and at www.shopsilkweeds.comand ofcourse at SILKWEEDS in Searsport, Maine.  The purse is hand knit from 100% wool and I have added some "fun yarn" at the top.  After it is knit, I "felt" it and it shrinks it and makes it very sturdy and thick.  I chose this particular purse because it looks like summer to me. 

Okay folks, I still have a bathroom to clean...and laundry to do ,so for now I am out of here.

Dancingly, Denise
