You are Invited to Fairy Day!

Fairy Day is a day for fairies, magic, and whishes come true.

For one day, put aside the cycnicism of the modern

world and embrace the possibilities of the unknown,

and believe in fairies. 

Enjoy the more genteel pace of the fairy.

Our imaginations are alive with peridoc night rides

through the countryside,

witnessed by the lucky few

staring out of misty windows

on a night seemingly burdened with insomnia.

Have a wonderful magical day!

INTRODUCING:  A Fall/Winter Fairy Shoe Challenge

When inspiration doesn't always

 come to you

maybe the best thing to do is give yourself a little nudge.

I  decided to do a fun challenge

this holiday season

and I would like to invite you to join me.

This Christmas Holiday shoe is just gorgeous...

To celebrate the fall/winter holiday season

and Fairy Day which

come in the summer,

I created a Fall/Winter Altered Fairy shoe CHALLENGE!

I love the fairy shoe idea seen at Frosted Petunias,

and liked her idea of using a real shoe,

crafted from worn recycled shoes.

You could even make a pair with colored sequins or something of your choice

to match your Christmas Ball gown.  So gorgeous!

Or, what about shoe Christmas tree ornaments!

These wee cuties would be very pretty in green, red, silver or gold.

Decorate your worn shoes with orange glitter for Halloween, red roses for Christmas,

or colorful beads or incorporate the shoes into a

Christmas or Halloween vignette.

These are only suggestions, of course.

There are plenty of images available online if you do a search.

********

Here are the rules...

*  I invite you to alter an actual shoe, slipper or Christmas tree ornament.

It can be a pump, wedge, flats, canvas, ballet or tennis shoe or

any shoe you no longer use.  You can also pick up a pair at the Good Will for about $3.  One of your kid's old shoes would work very well and baby shoes would be perfect.

*  You can alter one shoe or a pair and it can be purely decorative or

something you  or someone might really wear.

*  Use any material or medium you like to embellish and alter your shoe(s).

Paint, metal, jewelry, lace, glitter...whatever inspires you

to unleash your inner fairy!

*  You can create a shoe for a fairy, a shrine or vignette.  You can tell a story to go along with your shoe(s), or simply share photos.

*  Get the word out to all your fairy kin.

*  Be ready to share your fairy shoe(s) 

   so you can then come write about them.  Come put your story or comment under each in the comments area

Have a wonderful magical fairy holiday season!
