Sadly, I was not able to make it to the Spoutwood Fairie Festival as planned. There's so much happening in May! Two of my sprites have birthdays, then there were vendor events I went to for work, Quarter Auctions, my mother-in-law visited, school concerts, networking meetings what a whirlwind! It's already June and there's still much to do! I need to make my wings flutter faster somehow!

I DID manage to make sure I will be at the Maryland Faerie Festival this weekend though. My little Daisy Girl Scouts will explore the world of Faeries with me on Saturday! They are so excited and we'll even been camping overnight nearby. What a wonderful Mother/Daughter event and I get to bring my own daughters with me.

I hope to see other faeries there!

Merry Meet! My name is DisneyScout. It comes from my love of nearly all things Disney and being very active in Girl Scouts (and to a lesser degree Cub Scouts). I think what initally captivated my interest in faeries was discovering Disney has revealed their is a secret faerie village called Pixie Hollow wherein Tinkerbell and her faerie friends reside. I fell in love with the first book and it's illustrations and have been looking for faeries ever since.

I am in my early 30's and am the mother of 4 wonderful little sprites. Miranda (girl - 12), Joshua (boy - 8), Ilea (girl - 4), Elijah (boy - 1). BTW, Ilea is pronounced Eye Lee Ah.

I went to my first Faerie Festival this past May in Upper Marlboro, MD. (www.marylandfaeriefestival.org). I also went to a gaming convention called GenCon this past August. (www.gencon.com) where I was pleased to find a role playing game called Faery's Tale. (See, faeries are everywhere!) I also met a fellow faerie through the GenCon forums and she and I have been chatting since. She is a seamstress faerie that makes amazing costumes, often from people's imaginations. She's taking a short break at the moment, but her website is www.pixiestitch.com. Isn't that adorable? I made a fire faerie costume for GenCon and enjoyed wearing it. So, I was hooked on letting my inner faerie show more often and attended FaerieCon! Now, I've been searching the Internet to see how often I can go to other faerie festivals. My daughters are hooked, too. :-D
