Welcome, Fall!


Today is officially the Fall Equinox (officially known as Autumnal Equinox, which alot harder for me to say, than spell!), and magic abounds!

Equinoxes were often associated with magic, as the changing of the seasons is a mysterious and unpredictable thing. I'd like to think that there is high luck associated with this wonderful time and, so far, I haven't been wrong!

For example, have you ever felt blessed, just for being who you are? Have you ever had things bestowed upon you for no reason at all? I ask because, just as I got home from work. The AMAZING Melissa Valeriote of * THE HOLIDAY QUEEN* emailed to tell me that I had won THIS from her Friday Fantastical Find!


Mind you, since I was already a follower of her wonderful blog, I was automatically in the drawing! So I was walking around not even knowing that I had this wonderful opportunity awaiting me! How LUCKY am I?

If you don't know about Melissa's work, or blog--you are SADLY missing out! Her work is of such unbelievable quality that she's been featured in various publication--and if you're a Halloween fan, you're going to kick yourself for not joining yourself up! So hop over there by clicking HERE!

THANK YOU MELISSA!

The funny thing about the lovely Halloween potholders is that I was just thinking to myself: "wouldn't it be cute to have some Halloween potholders for the holidays?"
And *poof*! Just like that I am granted a sweet wish...

Now if only this would work when I think to myself: "gee, I wish I could get some cheap farm property with a couple of nice horses and a cute barn." Ok, that one may need a little work!

In the meantime, I've gotten together the list of the Monster Swap Members and am busily making these elaborate charts in order to match everyone up! Yep, Homeland Security doesn't have this level of detailed mapping going on! I'm kidding of course--so FBI agents, please don't come to the house! (Because, you know, they obviously read this blog!)

Anyway, I also realize that I've gone past 100 posts! I didn't realize I had so much to say! I'll have to commemorate it somehow, so stay tuned!

Have a Happy Equinox!
