About Me

I'm 29 and an army wife. I have a son named Nathan who is my whole world. I love animals, nature, watching movies, watching tv, cross stitching, reading, shopping and crochet.

I'm an eclectic pagan, working with an amazing online coven and an amazing teacher. I create my own oil blends which I use for anything from healing to just making the room smell pretty.

I collect anything related to cross stitching, journals, books, mandalas, lotus, oils, candles, pretty glass bottles, yarn, crochet, jewelry and rings.

I love to cook and bake but I don't do much of it right now. But I love finding new recipes and trying them out.

I love music, any kind. I love to be introduced to new music. I love to belly dance and I love any music that I could dance to.

I have discovered a love for all things with lotus on them. I even got a tattoo of a lotus :) I find them beautiful.

I'm addicted to chocolate (milk & white) and flavoured tea. My favorite scents are vanilla, amber, honeysuckle, hazelnut and raspberry.

I'm allergic to coconut. I can't ingest it but it's fine as a lotion/perfume/whatnot. Just can't eat it!

Favorite Music

Currently I'm listening to A Fine Frenzy, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift.

I love Oasis, Offspring, Christina Aguilera, most any country music, Maire Brennan, The Corrs, Mediaeval Baebes, Drop Kick Murphy, Tobey Keith, Pink, Fergie

Favorite Books

I love books in general. Right now I'm reading a lot of paranormal romances novels because they're quick easy reads and they're so light and fun.

Some of my favorite books are The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers, Harry Potter series, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, Stephanie Plumm novels by Janet Evanovich, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Philip Pullman's dark works.

any book by Christine Feehan, Nora Roberts, MaryJanice Davidson, Keri Arthur, Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey, Tanya Huff, Sherrilyn Kenyon

Favorite Movies

Ever After, Definitely Maybe, 13 going on 30, Harry Potter, Pretty Woman, Mr & Mrs Smith, Chronicles of Narnia, Disney movies, Midsummer Night's Dream, Martian Child, The Holiday

Favorite Television

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, House MD, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, The Unit, Army Wives, Gossip Girl, Greek, Chuck, Two and a half Men, True Blood, Fringe, Heroes, The Mentalist, NCIS, Numb3rs, Private Practice

Favorite Crafts

I love taking pictures, cross stitching, writing, crocheting, knitting. I'm slowly getting into drawing. I love coloring and creating mandalas. I'm starting to scrapbook and make cone incense. I make oil blends and herb incenses. I like to make journals.

witchy

I'm pagan. Eclectic Wiccan I suppose is how you can classify me. I love candles, herbs, oils. I never have enough of any. Resins are always hard to find so I hoard them when I do find them. I love all representations of Goddess and God. Pictures, paintings, statues. I have an affinity for crystals/gemstones. I collect them and use them all the time.

I'm finally getting around to really working on my BOS, so I'm using lots of stickers and colored pens. I can always use more :) I'm decorating my BOS with pictures of nature, of Goddess & God, and anything else that strikes my fancy.

I love travel altars. Every time I make one, I seem to give it away. I find them so much fun to make. But since I'm always giving them away, I don't have one lol

I'm always looking for small cute bottles to store my oil blends in. The prettier, the better :)

I'm open to getting any rituals or spells that you've worked and have worked for you. It's always interesting to see how other people write their personal spells/rituals. Of course, I also understand that some people don't like to share those things.

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful teas! The envelope was ripped open at the top so I'm not sure if anything fell out at any point in transit but it doesn't seem likely, given how much I received - you were very generous :)
Response: I hope you find something that you really enjoy in there :)

Comment: HOLY COW! I got my box this morning and could feel the love in it before I opened it. It was just like Christmas. A nice handmade card, cosmetic bag stuffed with goodies, beautiful, beautiful book with positive and uplifting reading on The Peace of God, rosemary bath salts, Snapple tea bags ( didn't even know they made those) a terra cotta diffuser, candle and fragrance oil that had the whole post office smelling like a spa. Thank you for a wonderful, wonderful package.
Response: I'm so happy that you like it!!! I hope it makes up for it being a bit late :) I found the Snapple Tea the other day at the store and couldn't help buying it. It's really great cold (in case I forgot to mention that in the card) Enjoy everything *hugs* thanks for being so understanding about everything

Comment: I love it! I am so glad you chose blue for me...the stitching is beautiful . I am going to find a tiny frame and put her on my water altar. And the handmade paper on the card is absolutely lovely. (I have a paper fetish)
Response: I'm so glad you like her!!! While making the blue one, I caught myself thinking about you and thinking this one was the one for you. I'm glad I didn't make a mistake :) one of my lj friends made the card for me. I commissioned a bunch from her and I love them so much that I have a really hard time giving them away lol I love paper, all pretty paper things, too!
