What I am doing on my summer vacation...

I have some amazing upcoming events in the next couple of weeks/months that I am ridiculously excited about.

This weekend we went to our friend's house in West Chester to celebrate July fourth. We always have fun with them. I found some amazing stick on eye decorations and rocked them all day.
Awful car pic, but you can get the idea.
 Next Saturday we celebrate my sister's 23rd birthday. :) Happy birthday to Traci. We are going to a local bar and billiard club to play pool and celebrate.

Then the next weekend Seth and I are headed to Indiana to attend an event called Midway Mayhem. I got incredibly lucky by getting tickets from a girl who had bought her tickets early bird but was unable to attend. I was absolutely intending to attend anyway, but was so excited that this worked out. I will get a chance to take belly dance classes from some flippin' fantastic dancers including Moira Chappell who danced with the belly dance all stars. I was lucky enough to see her perform and she is amazing. I am elated to get a chance to do this though, and I am dragging my husband along to help me camp. :) Here are some of the gorgeous dancers I will get a chance to learn from.
Moira

Asima
Celeste
Jeana
Na'imah
 

One of my fav dancers, Laylia.

There is more coming in the next couple of months, but this is enough excitement for now.  Before I go though I have to share the amazing belly dance belt my mom made me.
Can you see the little witches? He,he.

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"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...

Halloween Party 2010!!! - For Really This Time.

Image
Who is this? Lurking above our chamber door? A raven?  "Evermore" croaks he. He has claimed his spot and refuses to leave. I am rather fond of him anyway, so as far as I'm concerned he can stay.  Of Course I keep a broom beside my doorway. Bristles up for protection, like a good witch I must admit that you are a little early for the party. I am still trying to get ready, but you can come inside and look around.  Black vines and fairy lights decorate the banister.  The sun shooting into the chandelier makes a creepy sight, especially with Halloween Buntings in Black and White.  Glitter skulls and spiderweb candle holders sparkle from the mantle.  Herbs, flowers and brooms hanging on the wall waiting for me to use them.  Silver skulls surround a batty candelabra in the center of the table.  Am I ready for the party? Well I have on my stripy Halloween socks.  And my witchy clothes. Is a derby a witch hat? Well it is if a witch is wear...
