- Mat medium or strong craft glue
- A pencil, ruler and eraser, two large books (only if you are creating the journal with me)

About me
As a child, I could see faeries with remarkable ease! Sadly, as I grew into adulthood I realized it became more and more difficult as we are taught to be sensible and that faeries were related to fairy tales and children’s books.
I began to feel a deep longing, missing their connection. I realized that they were still there waiting for me to reconnect with them.
They have the ability to see our hearts, and can help us reconnect with our very soul.
Once I opened my heart, they slowly started to connect again, especially during my creative process. I realized that the more I worked with them, the more there was to discover, to learn, and grow.
I am so excited to share my process with you so that you can experience the same magic as I have.
When we open our hearts to the faery, we invite transformation, abundance, and creativity into our lives and all of those around us.
“At the edge of our world, at the edge of the other world, the beautiful and mysterious faeries stand, watching and waiting to greet us, inviting us to journey with them as our guides a we walk the infinite paths of the faerie.” – Brian Froud
