I would have done this layout very differently, but not having my laptop for over a day made me rush to get it done!
Journaling reads:
"Last Spring I was in a funk from everything that went on the past few years so was looking for new activities. When a huge, pretty mushroom grew in my messy rock garden I took a photo to scrap and and looked up quotes about mushrooms and gardens. In the process I discovered "Fairy Gardens" and was instantly intrigued. It started small, with two little houses, an underground door and a few fairy figures. I weeded and dug up a spot next to the steps leading into my house and carefully placed them around, adding interesting natural items I found when walking. One day a package arrived from my sister with a miniature dog, food bowl & shoe dog house! A miniature chicken coop, complete with tiny chickens and a bird house followed, items she has at her home. I next added a larger house, a few more fairy figures and planted lavender and some of my summer flowers. All summer I delighted in walking up the stairs and seeing my fairy garden and it was soothing to weed and care for the flowers. Next I added solar fairy lights right above my “village” which twinkle merrily at night, adding to the magic. It was peaceful and calming to see, create and tend to and one day in August a, overseas package arrived. In it I found two ladybugs from Darren as I’d told him about my fairy garden knowing Jody would have been fascinated, so on his work travels he looked for something to add. A bit later, two little turtles came from my sister who likes turtles... Currently dry, brown Autumn leaves are starting to fall in my fairy garden and the flowers have stopped growing. I’d like to leave it there forever, but know it will not survive the harsh winter and big volume of snow that falls there. It will be hard to take apart as it remains my current favorite view."
