Believe the World is Full of Magic

Hey ya's!  Hope you're all doing wonderfully!  It's time for another Lili's Little Fairies Challenge .. and this week the theme is "A Boy Card".

I really enjoyed making this because I know it's for my own little guy.  He received a Magic Set in one of his Christmas gifts, and it's hilarious watching him trying to perform his "Abracadabra's".  The sentiment on here is also from Lili of the Valley .. and I think this is PERFECT!

You know .. when we're little kids, we believe that everything is magical.  And somewhere along the way as we get older, we lose that feeling.  I hope my little boy will hold on to that pureness for as long as he possibly can.


Hope you'll come and join us at Lili's Little Fairies ... lots of fun you know?!  :)

And this week we are sponsored by Nitwit Collections.  They have all kinds of CUTE stuff in their store .. easy to spend lots of time in there and want everything!



Before I head out, here's Max if you remember .. this was taken a couple days before Halloween when he was 2 months old


And now 2 1/2 months later .. Max is 4 1/2 MONTHS old .... poooooof he's still growing.  And I'm so envious of his hair .. it grows at a rapid rate .. wish mines would do the same!  LOL!


Alright, thanks for visiting me .. I love it when you do!  See ya again soon!

Hugs,
Elise

Oh my goodness! How cute is that dog! Ah, Elise, little Max has made me broody for another canine!! He is just scrumptious. The card is also scrumptious. I wish I could colour like you - maybe I need a magic wand?
I'd probably magic myself thinner thighs before I asked to be great with colouring though! lol. Hugs, Jayne xx
