Jar of Whimsies Spoiler... If you are PepperRose don't look!!!

I am so happy with how my pieces turned out for the Jar of Whimsy Swap that even though I have not actually mailed the package yet.
This is my jar... it was a storage box for silverware before I got it. My partner had a lot of Ouija board items on her wist so I made the top of the box into one.









And the inside of it... which I decoupaged with old sheet music.











The other pieces I crafted were two glass pendants. One is Star Wars themed and the other is Halloween/Supernatural one side is a Ouija Board and the other is a pin up style witch. 

























I also crafted a couple of Day of the Dead shrinky dinks. 













And a Horror film/ Supernatural Bracelet inspired by my partners Wist













Some of the pictures are a little blurry but you can get the basic idea. 
And here are some random photos of Whimsies. 

























Tomorrow night I am going to WaterFire Columbus and will hopefully get some amazing photos to share!! 
I will also post some pictures of my different finds from the past several weeks. :)

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

Image
"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl.
