From the Mind of AlphaBetsy

To celebrate Yule here with my blog friends I thought I would share the crafts I recently sent and received in the craftster WWP Yule swap. My partner was the amazing Jennden who sent an absolutely fabulous package. I hope she loves mine half as much as I love the package she sent me. First what I sent to her. She requested a handmade Goddess and God for her altar so I decided to sew them for her, then I painted her a moon painting in miniature, two bracelets, two ornaments, two bottles and a box full of candles and stones. Oh and a jingle bell necklace, just because it's fun.  This is the beautiful package I received. She made me a beautiful Yule sign, an adorable bag full of ornaments and a cute little wreath, a yule log and a box filled with sparkly candle holders, a crystal and a pendant made from a fork wrapped around a tiger's eye.  Blessed Yule!!! 

It's the Spring Equinox and wow does it feel like spring. I went out last weekend (before the crazy cough hit) and worked on clearing out some bushes and trees from my backyard. And now my backyard looks/is about twice the size. It is amazing. Here are some shots of my Ostara decorations and my altar, all ready to add flowers and do my ritual.  This Saturday I am having an egg decorating party and will have more photos after that. It should be crazy fun. I am so excited.  Ostara Blessings!! 

Blessed Lammas!!  In celebration of the day I thought I would share the items that I sent and received in the craftster WWP (witches, wiccans and pagans) swap. My partner was spookygrrrly and she was an amazing one. We had much in common and I think we were able to craft pieces for each other easily.  Here are the photos of what I sent her. These were taken by her, because mine did not turn out nearly so clearly. :)  A spell box... the top is a chalkboard so she can draw any necessary  symbols and use associated colors. A birdhouse wind chime in Lammas colors.  The back.  Two little collage pieces of Lammas Art for her altar.  A necklace with beads of Amber, Citrine, Peridot, Amethyst and Hematite. The pendant is itself a little spell box.  And here is what I received!! The Lot! The tip of a gorgeous harvest wand.  The wand as a whole.  Corn Dolly The beautiful stones to complete a wonderful prospe...
