Whats up for the day.

On this witchy day... On my desk.. If I could get to it is the new stencil that my Daughter Tera made for me. It has a great crow on it that I love and my new witch girl.

You can also see that Sam is camping out on my desk.. like always.  It makes thing interesting some times to say the least.

Ok This is my art Journal thingy.. like that .. thingy.   Any way this is the one I am working on for this month.  Green is not my color but I do like it.   ( Art journal calendar ). It  is just another page in my composition notebook .   Some day I will have to do a flip though of it.  That seems to be all the rage right now is showing them.

 

I hope this finds every one having a great day!!!!  We have been working on the roof and now time to take a break..  going to cook out on the grill... yea   I'm all for that.  Plus the hubby dose it.  lol

 Bright blessing to you and yours.

Skulls skulls and more skulls. Crystal Skulls.

The earth is in a period of transition and , since humans tend to fear the unknown and change in general, it seems the skulls are really needed here at this time. Or is it just getting popular?  I truly believe popularity  is why there seems to be a growing interest and demand for them.  Don't know what I'm talking about... crystal skulls.  Why would a crystal skull be any different than a crystal of any other shape.. a butterfly or a heart or just its own shape.  ummm?  I have just gotten a book called Crystal Skulls , emissaries of healing and sacred wisdom by Marion  Webb-De Sisto.  I am very interested in what it has to say. I do know that the largest growing part seems to be in the United Kingdom. Revenia says  that the skulls are needed by people  as a way of helping them "cope with the various stresses and changes in our world that affect us all to some degree." I'm interested why she thinks that and again dose it have to be skulls?  I would live to hear what your thoughts are on this.



    
    I do a lot of Art Journaling and this has even become super big in this area.


 
 
I have found a ton of different kind on the net.. like everything you could think of.  Here is a few photos that I found even.

 

 I even found this group meeting from 2011  of these 3 woman.

    Here is their link ,  but I don't see anything added on to it from my side. http://www.coasttocoastam.com/photo/view/crystal_skullgetogether/50390

 

 

On that note and with a few photos Im going to sign off for the day.. Getting chilly here and I need to get some heat on or get up and move.  lol   

As always... Bright Blessing to you and your.

New BOS sheets almost done.

This is  what I have been working on.. yea me.. getting stuff done. I guess it helps here in Ohio when the weather starts cooling down and my brain can work and think better.. lol   Well so sure about that think part, but sounds good to me at the moment.  

 

This sheet I just love!!! it is super dark and wish I could copy them.. but it just doesn't work that way.

This one was soaked for a few days in heavy coffee and a cinnamon tea mix.

 

 Now this pile are all just a little different , but yet the same. you can kinda tell if you look at the bottom. should have taken more photos. These are just tacked down for the moment till I am sure this is how I want them.  Any Ideas. ( stamped out and then cut in to the shapes I want or the part that I want to use. Then tacked down on the paper )

 Another really nice dark one.. I love the dark staining lines. This one was stamped , then masked off the front part and stamped the window onto the back.. pretty cool isn't it.  My daughters doing.  Got to love it.. then soaked in the staining mix.

 

This one.. just different.. It is stamped and ready for staining. I think it will make a great love or friendship page.. or future spell page since I do have a crystal ball on it too.  This one will be fun to color.

 

Well that's it for today.. I hope you get some ideas to get you started on a new page in your book.  Remember you can do anything..  paint, stamp, stain, color.  You do not have to make your pages look like old book sheets you see on tv shows.. yes I know it makes them look cool... just think in time they will be cool no matter what.   Heres a tip/hit cut out newspaper dates or adds and clue on to your sheet for the date, its  a nice little touh.





Just a thought for the day.

 This is a thought.. just a thought.. but look how true it is.
You are a unique and magnificent human being.. Of all the billions of people on this earth there is not another you and your very existence is vital to thing functioning., Because you are a part of this earth.  All that you see, and all that you do and all that there is, could not exist with out you!!!

Ok on that note.. did you know that.......
 OM    means Enlightened Body
 AH     means Enlightened Speech
 HUNG   means Enlightened Mind
 HO      means Enlightened Activity.

 Boy I'm just full of it today aren't I.  lol  Its a dull and rainy day out and I need to get my mind in the right mind set or I will just waist the day away and I don't want that.  So think on the positive side of things today.. the weather dose have a lot to do with people and how they feel and the shortening of the days only make these feeling stronger. I know personally I need to have the nice bright sunshine or I feel cleome as they say and its hard for me to shake. So light that positive candle.. burn some sage and put on a big smile...
 Love and light and bright blessing to you  and yours.

Osiris (Egyptian) Great God and Isis's partner, father of Horus. He sacrificed himself so that life could regenerate.  We always hear about Isis but not much about him. Well September 24 is sacred to Osiris for death and rebirth.   Great day to do a sheet in your BOS about him.

Goodie to go with eBay order

Hello Tubies, Well just wanted to share a few photo's of some of the goodies that are going out as extras with one of my BOS's order. I am really pleased. At first I though on no how hard it was to come up something. She only gave me 2 things she liked.  Orange or brown,  no animals no flowers or anything. OK seems that should have made it easy. it wasn't. Orange is not a color i normally work with alot. Any way the tags turned out good. I hope she likes them.

House cleansing with sage

Hello, I'm  going to do a house cleanse in the morning in Frazeyburg Ohio,  and check out her horse and kittens. Will be a good day with a old friend. Cant wait :-}  This is what I kinda have in mind and think I will take to use.

  White sage that I grow.. 

 Open all doors and windows. 

light the sage and get it to a nice low smoking.

   Going to keep it simple!!

In each room and don't forget the corners.

We will use one of these:

I cleanse this room of any impurities,

negativity, or anything that dose not suit or

support the people that live here.

 

or this on:

 

 Cleanse this house and it clear

 only good may enter here.

 

May sure to cup your hands and shower your self in the smoke when you are done and to give thanks.

 

 

Its a good thing to do once a month or more or less depending on you feel. 

Dose things feel icky around your place?? give it a cleanse.

 Yes and good cleaning and good spiritual cleansing can make a big difference.

Bright blessing my friends :-}
