The 12 Kits of Occasions: August with Birgit "Fairy Tales"

This is such a fun month for us in The 12 Kits of Occasions group. We had a chance to put aside all the daily activities and join together at a playground with gnomes and fairies and all things magical! We even met a dragon or two!

Our talented and super sweet hostess is Birgit at Crafting While I Wait. This month was even more special to me as hubby and I just returned from a trip to Maine. And part of our visit included breakfast with Birgit and her very sweet husband. I had never been to New England before and have totally fallen in love with Maine! We were looking for birds so spent much of the time hiking through wonderful wooded areas and on two boat trips. And yes, that included whales and puffins!

Birgit included so many wonderful stamped images and fabulous dies. These especially reminded me of Maine. Loved all the ferns, mushrooms and amazing wild flowers. Along the path one day were many tiny fairy houses. And who could prove whether they were made by visitors or some of the tiny folk that lived there!

I added a couple of images from Fish in the Reef, a stamp set by Marianne Design. You can barely see the embossed bubbles or her shiny scales!

Isn't a glass of wine a perfect addition to a happy day!

Be sure to visit the 12 Kits blog to find your way to all the other participants blogs. Birgit has a

wonderful guest designer that came to play with us. I met her too when she and Birgit were in Kansas in the spring. Wait til you see her amazing creations!

Hope you enjoy the hop! Thanks again to Birgit for a magical journey. Sending all of you "a million magic wishes"! 

Looking forward to seeing you again next month,
