The Urban Fairy

The Urban Fairy Creating digital designs to inspire others and helping you save those precious memories. Hello and welcome! I'm Danielle, aka The Urban Fairy! My hands are FULL!

I live in beautiful Colorado with my husband, mother ( she's also my best friend! ) and our 5 kids. Believe you me I have my hands full! Being able to work from home creating digital designs really gives me the chance to be there for my kids, especially since each one of them has their own unique set of needs. I am a proud Autism mom learning to see the world in different ways all the time! It's a very big inspiration for me as well as a challenge all on its' own. I've become rather passionate about special needs as my family also faces PTSD, Anxiety ( this is no joke and not something to take lightly! ), ADHD, ODD, Bipolar Disorder, FND and depression. But I appreciate the chance to learn about these differences and become more and more accepting every day. I try to include the craziness of my daily life in my designs which has produced collections such as the A Mess line, Yes I'm Different, Today is Hard and so many more! It's a great chance for me to show others all about the struggles we face on a daily basis. It may not be all sugar and rainbows but it is one heck of a blessing! Just because I needed ONE more thing to do...I am now a happy employee at my local Amazon warehouse! Honestly, it's just as good as going to the gym LOL

Its a beautiful Saturday here in Colorado!!! The clouds are gentle, the heat is...well, high but whatever and the air is clean! Can you tell me a bit about where YOU'RE from?!?!? I'd love to know!!!

Uhhh not me 100% spacing that I had a new release to post about....

August has posed it's own set of issues but I am pleased to say it has been a much smoother ride compared to the utter chaos of July. While Zamera did end up in the ER again it was not nearly as intense - as a matter of fact it was an in and out kind of thing in about half a day. It's just day by day right now and that's the best we can do.

Which also leads to why I totally thought I had made this post despite the fact that I did not. Thankfully there is still a deal going on and you should so take advantage of it!

Join us from August 10 to 30 for our third retreat, dedicated to the theme "This Creative Life." This event focuses on living creatively in all its vibrant forms. From artistic hobbies to everyday problem solving, "This Creative Life" celebrates the unique ways we express ourselves and bring color into the world.

Dive into 15 days of creative prompts designed for every skill level. Choose your path: keep it simple as a Wordsmith, expand your storytelling as a Weaver of Tales, or master advanced techniques as a Legendary Storyteller.

The designs in this collection feature summer citrus brights and motifs centered around artistic expression, from paint palettes and sketchbooks to music, gardening, and culinary arts. You will find energetic elements woven throughout the products, reminding us that inspiration can strike anywhere. Whether you are documenting a messy art project, celebrating a beautifully plated meal, or simply embracing the joy of making something from scratch, these scrapbooking supplies are created to help you tell your story of imagination and passion.

You can find the MK03 collection here: https://digital-artistry.com/collections/memory-keeper/mk-no-03/

July. Sucked.

We started the month with the expected loss of a very loved ferret, Oreo. He passed surrounded by snuggles, cuddles, and so much love. As heartbreaking as it was, we're grateful he lived such a full, happy life and was able to leave this world knowing just how loved he was.

Not even a week later, my baby, Zamera, ended up in the ICU. Okay... she isn't technically a "baby," but she is my baby.

We're still not exactly sure what happened, and it will be a very, very long time before I can honestly say, "I'm okay." Watching your child turn blue and struggle to breathe is something no parent ever imagines having to experience.

But she came out on top. She's back to living every day as fully as she can, and I have to let her... even though every instinct in me wants to wrap her up in bubble wrap and never let her out of my sight again. I won't, no matter how hard it is.

I could never express how grateful I am for the incredible medical staff who helped us through one of the most traumatic experiences of our lives. They were patient, compassionate, and so incredibly kind to both Zamera and our family. We will never forget them.

Of course, July wasn't quite finished with us yet.

We finally made it home from the hospital and started settling back into whatever "normal" is these days, just in time for my other daughter, Ela, to give us another beautiful granddaughter.

She was quickly taken to the NICU, where she has remained since making her entrance into this crazy world. She has an amazing team caring for her, and every single day she's getting a little stronger and one step closer to coming home. I've only been able to see her once, and I haven't even gotten to hold her yet... but I know she's exactly where she needs to be. She is safe, she is loved beyond measure, and she's already proving she's a little spitfire.

I'm sorry this was so long. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here. I'm still creating, still designing new and wonderful things for you, and still doing my best to keep moving forward while our family heals.

Thank you all for your continued support, love, kindness, prayers, and patience. They have meant more than you'll ever know.

This is a picture of our newest little addition. ❤️

I have rewritten this post more times than I can count because it's so hard to find the right words.

The most important thing I can say is this: **Zamera is getting better.**

On the 9th, our family found ourselves in the middle of every parent's worst nightmare. I watched my baby girl stop breathing. That is something I know will stay with me forever.

After several incredibly long days in the ICU, Zamera was moved to a regular room on the 11th. It felt like an eternity waiting for that moment.

She still has a long road ahead of her. Her lungs are healing from aspiration and being intubated, so her breathing is still a little touch-and-go at times. She's also struggling to keep solid food down. But she's sleeping like a champion, breathing on her own instead of relying on a machine, and every little step forward feels like a huge victory.

I can't begin to express how grateful I am for everyone who has reached out with prayers, kind words, and support. It has meant more to our family than you'll ever know.

Because my focus needs to be on being with my daughter while she recovers, I won't be releasing any new products for the rest of the month. (The MK3 collection is still coming next month since it's already finished and scheduled—and I'm really excited for you to see it!)

To help keep things going while I'm away, I've put my entire store on sale through the end of July. Everything is **50% off** (*bundles excluded*), so if you've had something sitting on your wishlist, now would be a great time to grab it.

More than anything, thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for supporting my small business while my family navigates this. It truly means the world to my family and I.

Some collections come together quickly.

This, thankfully, was one of them.

Free Spirit started with a simple idea: wildflowers, dreamcatchers, vintage papers, and that feeling of being completely free.

After days ( okay...maybe weeks.. ) of designing, layering, and refining, it became one of my favorite collections!
