I have sooooooo missed you all!!

I must admit...I have missed being here on Blogger....

I know that I had moved my Blog over to my website but I miss this whole community of Blogger and the friends that I have made here.

So~~~~~~~I BACK!!

I am so eager to get back into the swing of things and I have so many new and great things to show you...but where to start! How to start without either draining myself or making things so muddled that you as the reader can't make heads or tails out of what I am trying to tell you, show you or share with you!!!

So...for this my first posting as being back on Blogger....

Please drop by my Facebook page to get your name entered into my draw to win your very own Magical Faerie Door Set gift prize. This prize was put together to thank all of my family and friends of the faerie nursery on Facebook that have gotten me to the fantastic milestone of 2000th fans! I know...what an amazing number!! I can hardly believe it myself!

www.facebook.com/FaerieNursery

Now, I know...what you are all thinking...sure in that massive number of 2000...they are not ALL family or friends. No indeed they are not. In fact I bet the number is closer to 200, if even for those that either follow me or....probably closer to only 20 that actually comment and participate on my page. But you know what....out of that 2000...I have made some new friends...friends that I actually talk to, friends that make a quick comment on one of my silly postings that make me say 'thanks for being here with me'. Those friends...well, they are family.

So please, why don't you become one of those friends of the nursery....you too can enter the draw even if you don't want to participate or play along with the faeries....but you know what...just maybe once you get there and get to know us...you just might want to stay for a bit...join us for a cup of tea with cookies, or maybe you are more of the adventurous type...the ones that like spontaneous pillow fights, sorry that was to be faerie dust fights! Oh yeah...trust me they happen...and we all go home trying desperately over the next couple of days...shampooing the daylights out of hair just so when you go outside in the sunlight, you don't blind anyone with your 'radiant hair'!!

Here are the photo from the gift prize....and yes, anyone can enter....shipping is free worldwide...but as always....there is the fine print...****Please note: Faerie Doors and associated products are meant as collector items ONLY. THEY ARE NOT TOYS. Please keep out of reach of small children, as the mall parts are a potential choking hazard.****...WOW, I'm glad I got that out of my system.

There are three questions that need to be answered. Hmmm well actually one action and two questions! But guess what? What you say? I have made it super easy. I wrote the answers down right above the Rafflecopter appellation form! I KNOW!! Silly ole me, but that's my way of saying...come on, you can enter too!

Just look at that Magical Mini Faerie Door and all of those fun miniatures for you to share with your Faerie!! So please, drop on by our Facebook page...become a friend of the nursery and enter your name into the draw.

I am just sooooo happy to be back with Blogger....please stay tuned for more exciting things to come!

Welcome and Introductions ~~ Facebook

2014 - Facebook

So I have always tried my best to welcome everyone personally to the nursery, I know that between trying to keep track between doing updates on the iPhone, iPad and the Mac and now finding out that the Facebook 'like' counter includes not only 'individuals' but that there is a drop down box that shows 'pages' that like you too! Now this particular option is not available on my iPhone or if it is my screen is just too tiny for me to even want to see that small arrow for a drop down box. So this is me, Faerie Amma, welcoming everyone that I have missed to my Faerie Nursery.

I don't ever try to sell anything to anyone here, even though all of my e-commerce sites tell me that that I am supposed to be using my Facebook business page as a selling tool. I am here to interact with you, to show you sparkly things, to tell you silly stories, to let you know what mischief my faeries have been getting up to, what I have bought now! All those kind of good types of things...not being pushy and saying buy this, buy this...sure....I know in the end....that I am a business...but I guess that I am just not that good at that part of the business end....oops! But by all means..if you are interested...all of my products are available through my website .... there...did I satisfy what I'm supposed to do...will they get off my back now!! Back to the fun stuff :)

I have a wonderful helper...her name here if Pixie Sapphire or you can call her Brenda..but she's not supposed to answer to that name on here! Are you Brenda...oops I mean Pixie Sapphire. Umm..okay, so I started getting a bit overwhelmed...I know, you mean me! No, never me...so I gave up just a little bit of control. Okay...everybody. Stop. It's okay. Just breath. Relax....Now close your eyes for just a few seconds...Did you see pretty sequins?...Were they pink? Were they orange? Oh no!....If you said they were green, go back, close your eyes again.... Okay, open them.... What colour were they this time...Pink? Orange? There we go, we are all on the same page again...That was close!! Okay..so Pixie Sapphire has full Admin rights to the Facebook business page and she helps me with a few postings now and then. Did you see the photo album just a couple of days ago...the one where I went shopping AGAIN! She did that! Yuppers....she did. Now all of her work, she will sign Pixie Sapphire. I don't want anyone to think that I have left the country, that I am doing my hair, or that I have been superglued to the table and hubby dearest is trying to figure away to get me undone! Okay..think we are all clear on this topic...okay..I know a few of you still have your eyes closed...OPEN them now.....silly silly silly.....

I have two wonderful Faeries that help me in the field so to speak....Faeries Georgina and Malinda (okay....oops...that kinda gave their names away as that is their real names but ummm oh well). These Faeries are my life line here....they are my Sparkle Tattoo sparkly glittery experts....plus they never stop smiling! Thanks ladies :)

Then there is the hubby...well, okay, he is well, he is everything. There really wouldn't be a faerie nursery if there wasn't the hubby. 'Nough said 'bout that as he knows that he is my everything but he also doesn't like to be in the centre of attention (note.....that is why I put him nearer the end of the introductions and the centre..huh huh huh...great thinkin'   I know!! I know!!).

And me, well I am Faerie Amma...and when I don't have my make-up on, well then, I am Emmanuelle, the artist/owner of the Enchanted Pathways Faerie Nursery. And this is my little faerie nursery getaway. I am surrounded by twinkling lights, hanging vines and flowers, crocheted hummingbirds, pretty pictures of faeries, tiny trinkets that I have collected throughout my whole lifetime, children's books I bought just for me, little rocks I have picked and stored away in pockets since I was little and tons of supplies to keep me busy for a lifetime. I owe who I am to my family and friends...but most of all, I just want to be like Peter Pan and to never grow-up so I can play with my children, Matthew & Brandi and my grandchildren Rebecca, Dominic and Stephen Jr.

Won't you come and play with us too?

Care Package From Afar

A new care package arrived today in the mail from my bestest on-line friend Sharon.

 It seems that when I make my petal faeries my favourite flower petals to use are the sheer iridescent ones. These petals just add that extra 'magical' look to each faerie. Now, don't get the wrong impression of me or anything but I have hung these pretty little flower petals off on another rack away from the rest of my flowers as they are special to me. The last few times I have had visitors over to the nursery though, they have ALL managed to find my hidden little stash and proceeded to use them when making their own faeries!! Now, there is really nothing wrong with this and I am glad that they feel the same way about them as I do. So.....I thought I had best check back in with Sharon to replenish my supply and sure enough she had posted more of them. I ordered 7 more sets of 6 flowers (there are 8 layers to each flower) so that will give me 336 more sparkly flower petals (to share??) plus Sharon threw in a few extra as well.

But as always, my box from Sharon didn't just have my order of flowers (did I say, I LOVE her care packages yet? If I didn't....I sure do LOVE her care packages).

I now have a whole family of wee little critters that surround my little tree that I have on my desk here. So every time I glance over to the right of my computer screen, they are all looking up at me with their eyes full of curiosity and smiles galore.

Also in the box came loose flowers, beads, pins for my hubby's collection, little note pads, white head beads, a book, fimo flowers, molds and a whole lot more. How lucky am I??

The loose flowers....I am keeping out to make a very special faerie. As soon as I was taking them apart I knew immediately what her name was going to be....Cotton Candy :)

On a side note though.....Faerie Sharon (named on behalf of Sharon) has been a bit of bother lately! It seems with all of theses holiday decorations that I have laying around while getting ready for my upcoming Christmas fairs has put her into a VERY mischievous state! As I have always kept her close by on the table (she tells me stories and whispers in my ear while I work) she has been busy knocking things over and then hiding little baubles and jingle bells in the strangest places. At first, I was blaming Lady Isabella my cat, but nope.....I had gone upstairs to get a refill of my warmed apple juice and there on the floor were two jingle bells and a little present wrapped in the shiny gold foil. Now what on earth she was going to do with them, I have no idea but because of this behaviour she has now been moved over to my faerie bookshelf to keep her out of trouble!! Not sure how long it will take her to figure out how to get down...but at least I will be able to work without finding little treasures missing from the table!
