Believe the World is Full of Magic

Hey ya's!  Hope you're all doing wonderfully!  It's time for another Lili's Little Fairies Challenge .. and this week the theme is "A Boy Card".

I really enjoyed making this because I know it's for my own little guy.  He received a Magic Set in one of his Christmas gifts, and it's hilarious watching him trying to perform his "Abracadabra's".  The sentiment on here is also from Lili of the Valley .. and I think this is PERFECT!

You know .. when we're little kids, we believe that everything is magical.  And somewhere along the way as we get older, we lose that feeling.  I hope my little boy will hold on to that pureness for as long as he possibly can.

Hope you'll come and join us at Lili's Little Fairies ... lots of fun you know?!  :)

And this week we are sponsored by Nitwit Collections.  They have all kinds of CUTE stuff in their store .. easy to spend lots of time in there and want everything!

Before I head out, here's Max if you remember .. this was taken a couple days before Halloween when he was 2 months old

And now 2 1/2 months later .. Max is 4 1/2 MONTHS old .... poooooof he's still growing.  And I'm so envious of his hair .. it grows at a rapid rate .. wish mines would do the same!  LOL!

Alright, thanks for visiting me .. I love it when you do!  See ya again soon!

Hugs,

Elise

Hugs 'n Kisses

Hi Friends!  Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!  It was a nice relaxing Saturday indoors since the wind was just AWFUL outside all day long!  The wind was whipping away and tormenting the trees.  Our patio furniture cushions from the sofas were blowing all over the place and Max (our puppy) was going just NUTS wondering why our patio cushions were sprouting wings and feet.  lol!

But I sometimes like it when the weather is yucky outside.  For some reason, it makes it feel cozier INSIDE .. cuddling up with my little boy and watching videos.  :)

Well, I got to play with a Magnolia stamp that I bought .. hmmmm .. over a year ago?!  And only now colouring her .. lol!  The doily behind Tilda is from a dear friend.  She gave me a bunch of BEAUTIFUL doilies for Christmas .. thank you hun!  And the Magnolia swirl on here is from another dear friend of mine ... gosh am I spoiled or what?!  hehe!  Thank you sweetheart!

Hey ya's!  Wow, can you believe it's the 3rd challenge already for Lili's Little Fairies?!!!  My gosh!  And this week, the theme is "Lavender and Lace".  Okay, I don't know about your paper stacks .. but I have a SERIOUS shortage of lavender papers!  I mean ... what the heck is up with that?!  Lavender is such a pretty color .. why don't they make more of them in paper stacks?!  I sure hope this Spring, I will see more Lavender papers in the packs I buy!

OoOOoOh and before I show you my card .. I HAVE to tell you how much Blogger is giving me some massive problems with commenting on a lot of your lovely blogs!!!  I don't know what is going on.  A lot of times when I click on the "comment" button, my whole screen just freezes.  I am not able to do ANYTHING, click anything, move anything .. it's just .. kapppputz!  :(  SooOoO, please don't feel like I'm being a whipper snapper if you're not hearing comments from me ... it's the crazy Blogger!  argh!
