My 50th Post!
In honor of my 50th post I'm offering 6 of my personal books about Wicca. They survived the house fire last October so some of them have a faint smoky smell but they are all in great condition. They were not damaged other than the smell of smoke.
The first book is:
Living Wicca: A Further Guide For The Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham
This book has a faint smell of smoke but the smell should dissipate with use. I haven't opened this book since the fire other than to clean it and check it's pages. The pages are in wonderful condition. There are no marks, dog ears, or loose/missing pages.
The next book is:
Green Magic: The Sacred Connection To Nature by Ann Moura
This book is also in perfect shape; however, it also has a faint smoke smell. There are no marks, no dog ears, and no loose/missing pages in this one either.
Third is:
Green Witchcraft: Folk Magic, Fairy Lore, & Herb Craft by Ann Moura
This one is also in good condition the smoky smell is extremely faint on this one. Actually with all of them Miss K had to literally stick her nose inside the book to get a whiff of smoke. This book has some underlining in it but it is all in pencil and can easily be erased. As with the others there are no dog ears or loose/missing pages.
The pencil markings you see here are the heaviest in the book. The markings are only in the first chapter and most are only one or two lines long although there are one or two pages like this where a few things have been underlined.
The Fourth is:
The Craft: A Witch's Book of Shadows by Dorothy Morrison
This one again has the smoky smell however as I've stated none of them are bad. You cannot smell it while just casually reading. You can only smell it if you literally stick your nose in it. There are no marks, no dog ears, and no loose/missing pages.
Fifth is:
To Stir a Magick Cauldron: A Witch's Guide to Casting and Conjuring by Silver Ravenwolf
This book has a little bit of cover damage but not from the fire. The damage is from being read all the time lol. My mom was really bad about bending the front cover around behind the back of the book to hold it one handed and read it. It has no underlining but there is a weird smudge on the very first page of the book that has been there since I bought it off Amazon.com, and the binding at the top needs to be taped or something to that extent.
This is the weird smudge I was telling you about on the very first page. It doesn't affect readability or anything like that.
This is the binding that I was telling you about. Other than these blemishes I've shown you there are no others, no marks, no dog ears, and no loose/missing pages.
And the last but certainly not least is:
Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland
This one actually has the faintest smoke smell. Miss K didn't smell anything in this one. There is no underlining, no dog ears, no loose/missing pages. However, this is the first edition printed in 1986, not the updated one currently available at Barnes & Noble and Hastings.
So those are the books. And I'll pick one winner and they get to pick which books they want, then if there are any left over, I will pick a runner up to choose out of the rest. Hopefully there won't be any left over after that but if so I will draw one more name and let them choose as well. You have until April 10th at Midnight to enter.

I Touch Roses Mineral Makeup: RePost
I have a friend out in California, named Ahna, that makes handmade mineral makeup, soap, perfume, and much more. I wanted to tell you guys about her because I just got in an order from her today. I have been wearing her makeup for quite a while now, maybe a little over a year, and I absolutely love it. It covers and leaves my face looking like it's been airbrushed without hiding my freckles that I like to show off, and it feels like nothing is there. Her eye shadows last forever, you can put it on in the morning and it will still be there in the evening. Last year I was frequently going to the dentist having my front tooth replaced and I wore her makeup to the dentist's office and came out of there looking the same way I did when I left. Now I don't know how your dentist is but mine always get water on every single part of my face. Before using this makeup I came out of the dentist's office with makeup streaming down my face, now I don't have that problem.
Her perfumes smell divine. There isn't one that I don't like. The one I received today is called After Midnight. This is a scent she remade and I think everyone should have it. It has a beautiful mixture of Rose, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Amber, and something else, I can't remember what the last scent is lol. I absolutely LOVE IT! It's got a warm, inviting scent to it and everyone who has smelled it absolutely loves it.
Along with the perfume I got a big jar of her French Clay Mask. I haven't tried it yet because I'm not too clear on the instructions and I don't want to waste a whole lot of it trying to figure it out but I will be using it as soon as Ahna gives me further directions on using it. I got a jar of eye shadow called Hazel and it is exactly the color you would expect of hazel leaning to the brown side. I also got a sample of a new shade of eye shadow called Reason which is a pink shade and is absolutely beautiful. If your interested in checking out her makeup, and believe me she has everything under the sun except for mascara, check out itouchroses.com, itouchroses.etsy.com, and artcreated.com. At Art Created she sells her makeup as well as her jewelry, her paintings, and photography.
And for the witch in all of us, check out her friend's shop, agonysdecay.etsy.com! I hadn't heard of this one until she sent me a sample of soap from this shop. The sample I got is one little green skull and it looks and smells good enough to eat. Thankfully there is a very helpful sticker right on the bag that tells you Do Not Eat! It's Soap! and there is a cute little spider hanging around the top right corner of the sticker. It is the cutest thing ever. I strolled on over to that new shop and there's some pretty neat stuff there. You'll find handmade jewelry with a gothic twist, soaps, hair accessories, gift tags, and much more.
If you decide you like Ahna's makeup, when you order, let her know Amber sent you. That's my real name, I'm not trying to hide from you guys but from certain members of my family lol. This does not apply over at Agonys Decay.
This is the skull soap from over at Agony's Decay.
And the very helpful sticker that tells you not to eat it lol. Sorry you can't see it very well, I can't seem to make my camera take better pictures.
The French Clay Mask from over at Ahna's shop I Touch Roses.
The French Clay Mask jar open so you can see the inside. It doesn't show the color very well but it's a light rosey pink.
And the eye shadow that I just got from Ahna. It is a gorgeous brownish hazel and I absolutely love it.
We're inching closer and closer to the 50th post! I hope everyone is as excited about the new giveaways as I am! Right now I think we're at post 43 but I might be off one or two.

New Ideas For Everyone's Consideration
Ok, so I just want to do a quick post because I'm in town at Burger King using the free internet so I may not be on as much as usual this week. However, I have new ideas to talk with you guys about and that means I expects lots of COMMENTS lol so that I know how you feel about these things. So I have two ideas I wanna talk to you guys about.
The first idea is this: Me, Ahna, and Ahna's friend Jenny over at Agony's Decay have been talking and guess what! We would like to do monthly giveaways here at my little blog. They will begin at my 50th post and happen every month, sometimes featuring Ahna's products, sometimes featuring Jenny's products, and if any of you guys have a shop and want to offer a giveaway email me with your idea! I would love to hear how you guys feel about this idea so leave me lots of comments.
The second idea is this: I have decided I want to do a featured thing every Monday called Self Empowering Mondays where I talk about confidence boosting techniques, finding balance and keeping yourself in balance, etc. I'll talk about positive affirmations, meditations, spells, and other things to help you feel empowered. The first post for Self Empowering Mondays will be on March 8, 2010. So let me know what you think about this too.
Well I'm going to have to leave you guys for now. Daddy's sick and I have to get him some Sprites, that's the whole reason I'm even in town lol. So I hope to see lots of comments when I get back on Monday to post the debut post of Self Empowering Mondays! And I hope everyone has a great weekend. Brightest blessings to everyone!
