Inspiration

I created Mermaids and Fairy Princesses maybe over a year (and a half?) ago by searching for pictures of mermaids and fairy princesses through Google. Shelby was really getting into things like this and I just thought I would take a look of what could be on the web. A lot, I can tell you that! Some really beautiful and a few have been um....
Through the searching for pictures of mermaids and fairies, I came across a blog that was just fantastic to read. It was about a young girl who had fallen in love and shortly after the passing of her mother, she finds that her boyfriend,Demetri, is really a fairy. The author is named Aspiring Author and I think it is a perfect name. This girl, from what I've read in her profile and blog, is only in high school. She has a lot of hopes and dreams and one is to become an author. Aspiring Author, you are well on your way and it is clear by your stories that you have the talent.

Aspiring Author is not only brave to post one of her stories, but two. After giving her readers short pieces of her first story, she adds in a new one. This one about a teenage girl whose famous mother sends her to live with long lost cousins. Both stories are unforgettable after you read, and that I do encourage you to click on over to Aspiring Author's blog. Maybe you too can become inspired.

How I was going to start Mermaids and Fairy Princesses was to write some stories of my own since I do like to do that. Only problem is, I'm not brave enough to show them off since I still have very little written and afraid of what if I don't finish something. So I started writing a few posts of my life and pictures of the kids. Then I took stuff off. Then I wrote more more. Then off again. Finally I got inspired again. I had been unsure of what to really do with my blog here when I came across a friend's blog. Melanie's (maggie and mac's blog) is layered with pictures of her kids and this was something that I did not know was possible. I really love the way she has done her blog. It has inspired my new blog, The Prince and the Princess, dedicated only to two of the most precious children in the world, Shelby and Lucas.

It's been months since Aspiring Author has updated her blog and I really do miss reading about Lily and Shiloh I'm still hoping that one day I will sign onto blogger and I will see in my blog roll, Aspiring Author - 1 day ago...or 2 days ago. So Aspiring Author, if you are reading this; update! :o)

Daydreaming

If I were a fairy, this is exactly what I would be doing right now. I'd be in a happy mood, while sitting in a forest or meadow some where daydreaming as little fairies flew around me.

It is 29 degrees out right now and I wish it was warming up to at least the 60's. Thankfully our snow melted away earlier in the week.

This picture just sets the tone for me for wishing it to be a warm spring night. Instead of a cold winter morning. The colors are so vibrant and you can actually almost smell the flowers. Mmmm... or maybe that is because my dad bought my mom daisies last night at the store (her favorite), and that's what I'm smelling. :o)

changing things around a little

Well, once again I'm changing this blog around. But this time there's a switch. Last night as I once again searched googled pictures of mermaids and fairies that I would like to use as part of a header for this blog, I thought why not dedicate this entire blog to pictures of fairies and mermaids? So that's what I am going to do. But what of pictures that I post every now and then of Shelby and Lucas? A new blog of course! Just look for the "Prince and the Princess" blog.

Here is the first picture to the new start of Mermaids and Fairy Princesses. It's the picture I currently have on my desktop. Sleeping Beauty (there's princess in this blog's title)
