fun friday = fairy garden!

the girls wanted to make a fairy garden this year....so i decided to run with it!  they had so much fun painting the little fairy houses, helping make a stick fence, making the cute little pebble path, sprinkling it will fairy dust and finding fun things to put in the fairy garden.

here are a few pictures of the garden....now they are waiting for the fairies to leave them some goodies!
mara painting her house!
k's painting...she looks so serious!
phase 1...creating the path, building the fence
their finished houses...
and the finished fairy garden....
a few tips, if you have a little girl who would like to make a fairy garden!
-pick a small place, because it is just more manageable to work with
-i picked up little things at the Dollar Tree and Micheal's....i didn't want to spend a ton of money on this garden!
-put the little things in first...like the pebble path, houses and other little things, then plant the flowers, so you know how much space you have to work with.
-let kiddos help, because it makes it so fun!
i will keep you posted on how the plants and flowers grow, i have never planted over in that space, so i am hoping all that fairy dust will help them grow!
happy weekend!
