Welcome to Main Street.<br />
Really, we live on Main Street.<br />
In a house that's older than my oldest grandma.<br />
<br />
Meet my family:<br />
1.) on a day last year with good clouds I gave them 5 minutes notice for family pictures happening right then so they better change quick. No one even had time to complain and that was the whole idea<br />
2.) this Halloween next to the UK phone booth which for some reason lives in Wyoming<br />
3.) at a favorite family vacation spot: Jackson Hole, WY during the Saturday farmer's market<br />
4.) on the tram to Disneyland. happy happy.<br />

I am the picture taker of the group. <br />
Let's begin.<br />
<br />
Our house was built before family rooms, tv rooms, game rooms and dens were really a thing.<br />
The front door opens to a great big enormous room where we do all of those things.<br />
But I don't really know what you do in a den because my grandpa had one but it was just a good place to go for hide-and-go seek. We do that too. Behind the couch is a great spot.<br />
<br />

<br />
I love quilts. I love pretty grandmotherly blankets. I have a rotating pile from flea markets (found on very lucky days), presents and ones I've made. <br />

<br />
<br />
We are holiday decorating kind of people. All of them. And if I've neglected some poor Memorial Day or president's birthday or dia de los Muertos then you can bet my daughter is going to whip something up and hang it on the fireplace and suggest we go out for ice cream.<br />
<br />
The clothespin banner here was created because waiting until October 3rd to decorate for Halloween was just not cutting it. She took matters into her own hands.<br />
<br />
I'm good with all the decorating and redecorating because I want playdates to feel like parties. I want dinner to feel like a party. I want to be able to just add balloons and have it look like a completely wonderful party.<br />
<br />
Really I think there is just always something to celebrate and I don't mean Abraham Lincoln, though he's pretty great too. <br />
<br />
We really just enjoy being 'togedder' and our home is the perfect place to do that. If we're not on the tram to Disneyland that day. That works too. <br />

Back by the front door is the staircase. When the door opens it conceals the stairs a bit so people often don't realize we have a second story. All three bedrooms are up there. The main floor also has two bedrooms which at no point in the past month were even close to being fit to be photographed. No amount of sliding clutter around would have helped. We use them as an art & craft room and a playroom. They are more fun to be in than to look at anyway. Perhaps I'll share them in their messy glory on <a href="http://reallyquitelucky.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">my own blog</a> soon. <br />
<br />
Upstairs.<br />
Little shelves of sentimental items. Pictures of grandparents. Our wedding. Special gifts from my mom. Art from Lily's baby nursery. Mother's Day gifts from my kids. Pottery from my sister. <br />
Also a robot costume of course.<br />

When we moved in the low ceilings and stairway turning a corner prevented some furniture from making it up the stairs. Our queen size bed would not fit. Not even the box spring. We slept on a mattress on the floor until Ikea saved the day with an unassembled bed frame and mattress that comes in this huge unbelievably heavy roll wrapped in plastic.<br />
<br />
The great-grandmas that used to live in this house must have had tiny beds. <br />

Most of the house shows 'us'. We are not very serious, usually happy and silly, up for a messy project or a living room dance party, relaxed and pretty laid back.<br />
<br />
Lily's room.<br />
Lily's room is even more of just 'her'.<br />
Butterflies, fairies, unicorns, flowers and pink. <br />
<br />
The Minnie Mouse pillow was made from a t-shirt she had as a tiny cute one-year-old. I love it.<br />

While thinking about this lovely blog of Heather's and what I think makes my home lovely...I stopped at this picture of homemade fairy houses and a pink princess castle.<br />
<br />
<i>I want my house to make my family happy. </i><br />
<br />
I want my home to be a place where fairies, oompa loompas, tiny plastic Indians in cupboards, Peter Pan, Junie B. and Anne with an e would all be welcome. I need their help to make my children's childhood magical while I have them all little and wonderful. <br />

Okay, now want to know about the big metal star and the big red metal M?<br />
<br />
Well you see, once the store in our town that starts with a W, has a star, an M, and more letters that spell out ART in our art room window needed to be remodeled. And once my earth-friendly husband happened to be taking a load of cardboard and cans to the recycling center. And that dear husband, knowing of his wife's love for cool old stuff inquired about the pile of metal letters and then brought home the greatest decorating gift yet. Our old windows are basically two sets of windows so there is a perfectly sized gap in between for displaying a giant red M if your name is Max and your favorite color of all time is red. <br />

Max is named partly after his sister's love of Max and Rubyyyy and partly after the King of the Wild Things. Both characters have a spot in his room. Along with his jet pack and soccer trophy and dino baby Rex.<br />

Thank you Heather dear for the bed-making inspiration. Reflecting on our rooms brought me such a thankful lucky feeling for what I've got and who I've got it with. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
a month's worth of Christmas magic crammed into one book with lots of glitter and it jingles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
sounds like a very good thing to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I set my book up giving one opened-up 2 page layout to each day of December. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
we're going on an amazing adventure the last week of the month so I wanted to give room to include that rather than cut off at the 25th. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
it is already a fat book which is how I like it. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(fyi in case you're interested. I'm not affiliated or anything fancy like that)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Studio Calico December Daily kit</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
stuff from Crate Paper Bundled Up</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
piles of old Christmas supplies I've had since maybe 2005</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
plenty of golden glitter and real live jingle bells</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
vintage that's REAL vintage cards that my grandpa pulled out of his basement from the 50s</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I already added some details to days that I know what we'll be doing. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the rest I'll add in as it comes.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
while I did label each day I won't be too particular about where it all goes exactly. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
if we have a snowball fight, make gingerbread houses and dress up as elves all in one day and then sit around like duds for the next 4 I will be spreading out the magic.</div>

You guys.<br />
I love Halloween so much.<br />
<br />
Not necessarily scary Halloween, but fun wonderful imagination Halloween. <br />
<br />
And my family got 400 bonus points from me for playing along.<br />
My husband earned 398 of those points for the combination of glamour women's wig, moustache, and baby legs turned pirate socks.<br />
<br />
And for knowing that the hook is on the<i> left</i> hand. <br />
<br />
And my sister for agreeing to the shell bra.<br />
What's a lagoon full of mermaids without at least one shell bra?<br />
<br />
And then they all got sprinkles on top for agreeing to the pictures in the freeeezing cold.<br />
Oh, Wyoming. <br />
<br />

Since my last posting I:<br />
<br />
-had family portraits taken twice. What the what? Both for other people's fundraisers and I found out I am not a person that buys outfits for pictures but rather digs through closets a couple hours before hoping that what I want is clean. And it usually works out just fine.<br />
<br />
-went to a party. Planned a different party. Had a huge party 5 days after I had decided on that party. Partied.<br />
<br />
-enjoyed a day off of school, and 2 half days off of school....so 2 days off of school? Whatever I like having my kids around.<br />
<br />
-participated in real Canadian Thanksgiving with a real Canadian. We still all laughed at her when she called the garbage disposal the garbarator. <br />

-braved the crowds of Utah for Cornbellies on the busiest day ever and experienced the Waffle Love truck for the first time ever and it was oh so good.<br />
<br />
-went to <a href="http://reallyquitelucky.blogspot.com/2011/11/hogwarts.html" target="_blank">Hogwarts</a> again.<br />
<br />
-sewed 2 Halloween costumes and I still have my own on the to do list so I better go do that. alliehoopeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09745667651555927489noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291723340922368738.post-42228532097868553682013-10-10T22:17:00.002-06:002013-10-10T22:17:31.307-06:00how about this?remember when I <a href="http://reallyquitelucky.blogspot.com/2013/07/i-found-my-blogging-purpose.html">found my blogging purpose</a>? ya, that was so great. but then the only video I've done since then is that one of Max on instagram. for the time being you can be on my real live blog and click right over on the right to see it. It's got the play arrow.<br />
<br />
then I was thinking that I would do one of those fabulous blogging schedules and that would get me going. you know when people are all WHATUP WEDNESDAY and #tbt and all cool? I really like lots of those!<br />
<br />
so I thought about the kinds of things I do a lot and the kinds of pictures I take a lot and tried to come up with catchy titles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

this one works. I do make lots of stuff. and "stuff" matches with "saturday".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I guess I can pull it together and do two kinds of stuff on Saturday. I used to be a blogger.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFNF8UPjO-_6KilFCk_LhHzz8-UxZg4Qi_jVyWxaV6lRzcSd3W7h-GzSKxkou-bRB9eDJ7G2aimL7tshTGeH7kTMlJwoKGxHVYiA71-PDD0AjOs9C9OC5gNqScFcCs5Hq19uxmjhFVBjE/s1600/2013-09-16+10-59-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFNF8UPjO-_6KilFCk_LhHzz8-UxZg4Qi_jVyWxaV6lRzcSd3W7h-GzSKxkou-bRB9eDJ7G2aimL7tshTGeH7kTMlJwoKGxHVYiA71-PDD0AjOs9C9OC5gNqScFcCs5Hq19uxmjhFVBjE/s1600/2013-09-16+10-59-15.jpg" /></a></div>
but then I have a bunch of pictures where I lovingly just photographed our crap. those make people feel good, right?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6y6diQkYtjj4LZHMEdKIH2E50T-oZN0Sp97w7PzW6MwbfNtNpy492-CJ6vIBqd6q0I4rfBSRlgqxxH7LBuD2AOWbp52VsddkfkAXbchUERd0DOJdosEK6AO-xHiZ8zRFFSUN3HS1opm-m/s1600/2013-09-30+17-14-4302+16-34-34.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6y6diQkYtjj4LZHMEdKIH2E50T-oZN0Sp97w7PzW6MwbfNtNpy492-CJ6vIBqd6q0I4rfBSRlgqxxH7LBuD2AOWbp52VsddkfkAXbchUERd0DOJdosEK6AO-xHiZ8zRFFSUN3HS1opm-m/s1600/2013-09-30+17-14-4302+16-34-34.jpg" /></a></div>
and then I have a problem (really) having to do with rearranging my house more frequently than a person should. this one's a bit weird but we're going with it for now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and then I spend loads of time doing PTA stuff like making these boys sit still on a chair while I make copies of school shirt order forms. would people even want to see that? come on now. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

then I could totally do segments where I point out how lucky Evanston residents are. But can I really do that every day? let's be honest. we already had multiple snow storms.<br />
<br />
I'll think on it. probably for 4-6 months. bye. unless I get 4 million actual comments. then I'll blog again tomorrow. <br />

Haha just kidding. That's ridiculous. They will never tire of looking at their cute little faces when they're old people. I have a well-documented problem. The thing I wish I had more of is videos! Especially the ones I've taken the time to edit a little and add some tunes. I'm very bad at it and use only the crappiest of programs but I'm still thrilled with the results.<br />
<br />

She's wonderful. Then one of the high school boys showed us <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbsRYbfVLtw&feature=youtube_gdata_player" target="_blank">this video</a> of bike riding. Then I stole the idea only made it way way better :) Enjoy.<br />
<br />
(p.s. I promise to film the right direction next time duh) <br />

I really do. But then I never do it. And then when I do intend to do it I have absolutely nothing to say. Then I look through some recent pictures and don't know what to choose.

while not the only way of doing things, or even my own only way of doing things, here is my demonstration (for a friend....and whoever else is interested).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br />I used <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/afterlight/id573116090?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D2" target="_blank">Afterlight</a> for both of these images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br />I took this picture with my ipod 5. Same camera as the iphone 4. Set the page on a white board right next to my big window. you can tell the right side of the page has more light than the left but I'm good with it. I try to hold it right over the center so the corners are all square. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
then added brightness (the sun). as much as I thought the picture could handle.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I always choose this one for paper stuff like this. this filter adds a little more brightness also. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
next sharpen. it is a slider, the one all the way to the right that looks like triangles. sharpened all the way to 100. it makes the details come out better and makes everything appear clearer. take the picture as focused as you can, but then always sharpen it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
here's another. the original picture. I know it seems dark but I would rather catch the details and then be able to edit it brighter than take it overexposed to begin with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
next cropped it to a square since I like all my mobile photos like that. here's an example of cropping that bugs me. I always try to keep the main part of the picture and get rid of whatever else I can that distracts from it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
that's much better to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqdChuLKVswBhWsaN7TEvThid3sLgnxNM67j7WpRTRQ9Ibhj7Omlb47iSwhrCcG-6m8FYsn9lA3wQrGUCMJS_wXMLSM9K0dImNX0MVHqGl9IcVFp6aNxPXEAkv5YYq-wEa7AONVdFBDeyz/s1600/b3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqdChuLKVswBhWsaN7TEvThid3sLgnxNM67j7WpRTRQ9Ibhj7Omlb47iSwhrCcG-6m8FYsn9lA3wQrGUCMJS_wXMLSM9K0dImNX0MVHqGl9IcVFp6aNxPXEAkv5YYq-wEa7AONVdFBDeyz/s1600/b3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
this time I used the exposure slider. it looks like a plus and minus in a box. you just go up until you start to lose details in the bright parts, then scale back a tiny bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJSymES7yh6jH9QEbJsY9y27piJ78_5cX9CAcaOjOgOh1YyPK6EpDJiIBfev5McWt1TAJXat5Q-_KqVuZZzfpbag1eOnd9QTPTzWhXGlRG_UjnQXe0tysm3f8ICXrRm9V4N9lHILhYhr2/s1600/b4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJSymES7yh6jH9QEbJsY9y27piJ78_5cX9CAcaOjOgOh1YyPK6EpDJiIBfev5McWt1TAJXat5Q-_KqVuZZzfpbag1eOnd9QTPTzWhXGlRG_UjnQXe0tysm3f8ICXrRm9V4N9lHILhYhr2/s1600/b4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
then add brightness. my love. I know that most of the filters I like increase brightness a bit so I won't overdo it in this step. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSAWERGGv8QedZpMYslnm8GNn3VQ2BdpjI43DpvoE6YxyROZ3707JllNKb9s5zl-3DYeqankOTA-YMKpON56UW5qVk3VZIJLu9kY6yLOTCA9Wc6OOqNHOVZxn40le5JsPlBcwsz84Ns6CP/s1600/b5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSAWERGGv8QedZpMYslnm8GNn3VQ2BdpjI43DpvoE6YxyROZ3707JllNKb9s5zl-3DYeqankOTA-YMKpON56UW5qVk3VZIJLu9kY6yLOTCA9Wc6OOqNHOVZxn40le5JsPlBcwsz84Ns6CP/s1600/b5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
then a filter. I tend to use Breeze, Goldfinch, Olive, Marine or Coral. and never very much on the slider. usually 30 or less.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2CMRJ1MaatfQSmOWqvh_Sg1xcWafarn87WcRUfDhN0z3AZ01wATpWnBv5jdRVwx0MI4Js3o3Hn1X0QENH0Rh5IKpa7Pn8ovU_QTefsV7D92cVn5c16OvDsLaaLyUvRyxYYud-xbWV5sT/s1600/b6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2CMRJ1MaatfQSmOWqvh_Sg1xcWafarn87WcRUfDhN0z3AZ01wATpWnBv5jdRVwx0MI4Js3o3Hn1X0QENH0Rh5IKpa7Pn8ovU_QTefsV7D92cVn5c16OvDsLaaLyUvRyxYYud-xbWV5sT/s1600/b6.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
every picture can benefit from some amount of sharpening. so do that always. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSN84lmXorElaraO9ELB0V4mgbJEus7T15OggykS4sJKZ7kdgBs_y9OYvjQ8MgmEz9IYLN6YwPjFwhqsefXIBPQGAiDrU8w-Sks9NQRoGuw3CZJko1bxDrXfWHUfUVHglcIcWPC4Pe5_o/s1600/b7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSN84lmXorElaraO9ELB0V4mgbJEus7T15OggykS4sJKZ7kdgBs_y9OYvjQ8MgmEz9IYLN6YwPjFwhqsefXIBPQGAiDrU8w-Sks9NQRoGuw3CZJko1bxDrXfWHUfUVHglcIcWPC4Pe5_o/s1600/b7.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
then at the end (and after it's saved) is when I would add a shape like this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I do know <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pictapgo/id585307861" target="_blank">PicTapGo</a> is another super one for good looking editing. when it first came out it stripped the exif data off of pictures so I never got used to using it. most people would probably not care about this :) The exif data has all the information about when a photo was taken and I used it to organize all my pictures from all my cameras by date. one of the updates since then though, has fixed this. it will probably become one I use a lot more once I get the hang of it and figure out what I like.</div>

I will think of the other 19 some other time.alliehoopeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09745667651555927489noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291723340922368738.post-89847882615843445032013-04-15T09:08:00.000-06:002013-04-15T09:14:07.933-06:00winter weather advisory have you seen <a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/18/how-vacations-affect-your-happiness/" target="_blank">this article</a> on vacation happiness?<br />
<br />
the only point I'd add from personal experience is the level of happiness long after a vacation when you look back at pictures of a perfect trip. I can feel the boost. I use it on days when my nearly-there flower garden is is being covered in wet fluffy plops of snow. and the weather says it will be continuing for the next 3 days. <br />
<br />
so instead of going outside I enjoy the bright reflected light all that white crap sends my way and look at old vacation photos. and plan all the trips we have coming up. and be happy.<br />
<br />
my plan is to just always have a vacation no more than 8 weeks away. <br />

how many of your blog-world friends have disappeared over the years? stopped blogging. when they did, did you somehow weirdly assume (like me) that they stopped making projects, stopped cooking dinner, stopped taking pictures? because how could they continue on being all wonderful without sharing it with me?...some girl they don't know that lives far far away in a land where they have SNOW days in April? <br />
<br />
well it's not true. I don't think. at least for me it wasn't.<br />
<br />
one of my creative projects last year was a baby shower gift. the first step was making the onesies. I used images by Andrea Victoria. But in my looking for them today I also found some free ones in pretty colors by Martha, and some more by a bloggy mom Britt. there are probably 72 other versions available on pinterest. also several people that have already written long tutorials, so go read theirs. <br />

anyway, made the shirts and presented them along with the offer to photograph my friend's baby each month. there may have been a month or two we couldn't get together and took a couple month's photos at once. oh well, not too bothered. my favorite months were 8 and 12. <br />

what if I decided that maybe perhaps I COULD handle the immense pressure of blogging just once a week. would you feel:<br />
<br />
a) relieved<br />
b) annoyed<br />
c) overjoyed<br />
d) nervous<br />
or<br />
e) melancholic<br />
<br />
my comments are still off so you'll have to come to <a href="http://instagram.com/alliehoopes">insty</a> or <a href="http://pinterest.com/alliehoopes/">pinsty</a> or my house to tell me <br />
<br />
and guess what right after I took this one and only picture the snazzy guy at the store told me no photography in the store. so I said ok but I didn't delete it. so what you're looking it is like illegal. whoah. rebel. alliehoopeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09745667651555927489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291723340922368738.post-2346438418334064322013-01-12T21:24:00.004-07:002013-01-12T21:24:46.303-07:00non-bloggingfreeing myself from that gross feeling when you realized you meant to blog but didn't. for the past several months.

I will fix that soon.<br />
<br />
anyway, you make your own at <a href="http://snapwidget.com/#getstarted">snapwidget</a> if you were interested<br />

we have already added quite a few things to your to-do list for when you come home this week for thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
1. observe max's mad hopscotch skills. if it snows you will have to draw your own on the basement floor.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgTQLWLt-an4zQDe2IwU5hkMZZH3_iQ392f06UgOSwdrtFR48xcK4tpMptbFGkLdN6cW_6da4VAaGw18dDnRood0c-Yw0wggplk8UgKFiby_CMMtkn5V3Gb4kiGl14kBOcLWa7VYhouQ8G/s1600/IMG_1773.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgTQLWLt-an4zQDe2IwU5hkMZZH3_iQ392f06UgOSwdrtFR48xcK4tpMptbFGkLdN6cW_6da4VAaGw18dDnRood0c-Yw0wggplk8UgKFiby_CMMtkn5V3Gb4kiGl14kBOcLWa7VYhouQ8G/s1600/IMG_1773.jpg" /></a><br />
p.s. watch for his tongue. it is usually out. he must be channeling concentration power from the air. no idea where he could have picked up that habit.<br />

At some point, I came across this lovely little fairy garden project. The first one I saw was the <a href="http://themagiconions.blogspot.com/2010/08/make-fairy-garden.html">2010 version</a> on the magic onions. It had been on our list to do for a while. On a trip to Laramie to see sisters I found the furniture at my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sweet-Pickles-Childrens-Store/318875915341">sister's toy shop</a> and snuck them into my bag. Well, snuck them in so my children didn't see them. I didn't steal them. That wouldn't be conducive to tiny magical visitors. Then one day recently we were headed out of town and I decided to pick up some of our other supplies while we were out. Our local lumber store is good if you're into warped wood and dead plants. Again, we wanted the best chances that some three-and-a-half-inch tall friends would pay us a visit. </div>

Fariy garden day finally came. We invited some little friends that also very much do believe in fairies. </div>

Lily's garden included: table and chairs, little leaf stove, pond and little cupboard for leaving notes or gifts. Lily knows that tinker fairies love getting buttons and bits of string and other treasures to use in their inventions. </div>

We indeed did have a magic visitor! Max spied the fairy dust first. The very first day Lily left a button, a piece of string and a rubber band in the cupboard. Luckily :) the fairies were able to construct a little swing with all of the supplies! Lily said they must have made that because we have one like it in the backyard and they wanted their own. Of course. </div>

I just made the squares myself in photoshop. picked the colors. added the white text and printed them out. snip snip and pinned them on. I admit, a major happiness for me is how perfectly they fit on this board. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://alliehoopes.zenfolio.com/bulletinboardsquares.pdf">want to print your own</a>?</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you totally should. I put the blank squares in a pdf document. so you can add your own white text on top if you know how. or draw right on them. or use a white paint pen. I bought the bulletin board at walmart. the document is just 8 pages of squares. a couple of each color. this board fits 77 squares so you just get to pick a handful of pages to print twice until you have enough. you should print at actual size, no scaling or anything.</div>

we also have a little weekly mom schedule that we loosely follow. both my kiddos really like having something to look forward to and get excited about. our schedule has just enough to kick start a few ideas for the day but not too much that we can't just pack up and do something crazy instead. I'd just copied this chart a few times before I filled in what was for dinner. I usually write down ideas when we get them just squished into the squares. or wait and surprise my little people. oh summer, we love you.</div>
