"That was it. I knew I had to do this," she said.

Ghazian was waiting for summer to unveil her magic, but after the stay-at-home order when into effect, she got to work.



She's hung decorations from trees and attached "fairy doors" to the trunks.

Every day Ghazian discretely adds a new door with a little message written on it.

Sometimes kids leave something in return.

"Not me, but fairies get a lot of notes from the kids and on those they express how happy they are the fairies are in Willow Glen," she said.

"My heart fills up with joy every single time. It never gets old. It's beyond what I hoped for."



Ghazian says as soon as she can get enough supplies, she hopes to expand the fairy wonderland to other yards.
