Fairy's, Photo's and Special Gifts

As you may already know (I have blogged about it here and been on Twitter too), I have been fortunate enough to receive free fairy editing for my girls form the lovely Liz over at www.photofairydesigns.com in return for my Girls being models on her Website.

Well I have received my photo and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I am going to have it printed on canvass and make it a focal point in my home. I was particularly impressed with the high speed turn around.   This one would cost £15 and you can have up to three babies/children in it.  A bargain I think.

Here it is:

As well as being a talking point in you own home and something a bit different to  treasure, I think they would make really special presents. There are a range of backgrounds to chose from for between one and three children.  I love our one which is the Magical Fairy Cottage 2 and you can see it featured on her site here.

If fairy's are not your thing then she offers others plenty of other services too.  There are all sorts of photo editing options including: photo enhancement and airbrushing, photo to DVD slideshow, photograph restoration and even Wedding invitations.  Don't take my word for it though.  Check her site out for yourselves at. www.photofairydesigns.com, you won't regret it. Subscribe via the website and you get 10% off your first order, plus you will receive other offers via email.

In the meantime I am going to get my canvass ordered before Husband comes home and says "we don't need it on canvass, I can print it out for you" hee hee.

My Little Girls Are Going To Be Fairy's

I am very excited and feeling very lucky to be getting free fairy editing from www.photofairydesigns.com. Basically, with some clever photo editing and a bit of fairy magic, they turn pictures of your little angels into something really special.  Anyone who knows me and my blog will know that I love everything girly and like my girls to wear tutus and hair bows etc, so I just know I am going to love this.

A few months ago I told My Husband that I wanted to buy a picture like this but he said, "no need to buy one, i'll do it for you".  Well he is very clever on PhotoShop and I am sure he could do it but he never has time lately and anyway I still haven't got it so I jumped at the chance of this.

All I needed to do was email over some good quality, full body shots of the girls and then they do the rest.  I had the perfect picture of Poppy but Rosie was a bit more of a problem.  The most recent shots of her are not full body, many are just of her face or she is in her pram.  I didn't really think much of it but decided that I would just take some more today.

I got Rosie up this morning and once breakfast was out of the way I dressed her in a pretty pink dress like the one her Sister was wearing in her photo. The plan was to sit her on a blanket  and take a few photos, surely one of them would be okay.  My little princess is usually very photogenic so I thought it might take about ten minutes...oh no how wrong could I be? I forgot that these days she is like a rocket!!  If she was smiling her legs weren't in it, if her body was in it, she had turned away and sometimes I even got her bottom! Anyway, to demonstrate I thought I would share some of the photos I took this morning with you:

So as you can see it took a while...about an hour in total, but we did get a few in the end which I am hoping will be okay.

Watch this space, I will share the finished article with you when it arrives!

Fairy's and Friends

Today has been a lovely day.  First we did some dressing up:

Even Rosie wanted to join in so became a baby fairy:

Then we had some cuddles:

Then we had some friends come and play:  

This was lovely for all of us as my friend also has two girls.  Charlie, who is 3 and plays lovely with Poppy and Pippa, who is 16 months, so is fascinated by Rosie and makes her smile.  With the girls happy, I got to have a coffee and a catch up while they ran round in the garden in the fresh air...perfect.


Tonight we are off for a long weekend.  We are stopping at my parents on route to a family Wedding which I am really looking forward to.  We all have lovely outfits to wear and it will be great to see everyone.  I will be taking my laptop with me or I will have withdrawal symptoms, but if I don't get a chance to write anything it is because I am away.  Have a good weekend!!
