The Search for Fairies...

I blogged a few days ago about the letter my oldest daughter had written and left for the 'fairies'. She requested a photo or something to show her they were real. After much thought and debate, I decided upon keeping the photo somewhat mystical and not showing one of a larger fairy. I really want her imagination to fill in the blanks. The below three photos of fireflies in the woods were the favorites that I came across in my search (I apologize as I do not know the source). Loving the ethereal look they have.

The last photo is the one I choose to give her. I printed it out on high gloss photo paper, attached a 'note' written by the fairies in tiny delicate writing, laid it on her dresser and sprinkled it all with glitter. Can't wait for her to discover her response from the fairies!!

Letter to the fairies

I found this note on our sofa yesterday morning with the camera sitting on top of it. It was written by my 7 year old daughter, Saylee.

To: fairies

From: Saylee a fan of yours

Dear fairies, I am not going to harm you. But will you send me a photo of one of you guys. Will not show anyone but my best friend shes a fan too. P.S. Send me a note back.

She is forever writing me the best love notes but this letter to the fairies is something new for her. She is such an amazing child with the biggest heart and great imagination. Still trying to figure out my response but I believe it's going to involve a picture of some sort sent in the mail with fairy dust (glitter) and such in the envelope. Still brainstorming ideas and want to make it really special for her...
