It’s time! It’s time! It’s time for the annual Halloween Party hosted by A Fanciful Twist! Me and the Kork-Knees are ever so excited…the Kork-Knees have been bouncing around the house all week, clamoring to party. They’ve been waiting for the portal to open; they actually went through one a few days ago & returned…
Ok, they’re not new. These wacky beings have been around this blog for years now. But as of today, they officially have a new name: The Kork-Knees! Why? Well, as I mentioned in this post, I always pronounced their original name, Korknisse, as “cork-neeze,” and I have no idea if that’s even remotely close to…
It’s October! It’s October! How did that happen?! But I’m soooo happy it is. October has my birthday, it’s the start of magic portal season, there are lots of fun parties, and, of course, Halloween! I’ve started decorating… Draping things around the house… Pulling out decor that I got in Salem many years ago…the actual…
While magic portals do open regularly, if you know how to look, there’s a special time of year when they’re opening all the time, willy-nilly, and you have to really be careful lest you fall into one unawares. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. I heard a tale once of a young girl who…
I’m joining in on the Haunted Humpday fun this year! Thanks so much to Incipient Wings for creating & hosting this fun blog hop. :) I’m already in a fall & Halloween mood, and I want to really get as much out of this spooky season as I can. A new blog party to join…
I’m a total geek about wildlife. Always have been. I’m pretty unashamed about it, too; I’ll squeal over cute baby lizards & birds & even snakes if I see them when out & about. One thing I love about where I currently live is that there are lots of turtles around…I constantly see turtles digging…
It’s almost Halloween, and I almost forgot to offer these cuties on this blog! I made these two Halloween-themed “Keep Calms” a few years ago & have offered them on all my blog incarnations. So naturally I need to offer them here as well. They’re 3″ x 5″ .jpg files, ready to print & cut…
Over the weekend I got a little extra birthday surprise: My pic is in the Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Companion book! Woohoo! So how did it happen? Well, it’s due to my geekiness. As I’ve mentioned here & there on the blog, I’ve got a geeky side. This sort of confession may or may not…
The day has arrived! It is MAD TEA PARTY time! Thank you to the wonderful Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist for the madness! Are you ready for the muchness fun-ness? Fair warning: It’s about to get really mad in here. The invitation the Korknisse and I received said to follow the white rabbit down Magic…
I didn’t properly greet you yesterday, since I was recovering from Halloween night and spending time with out-of-town friends before they had to go, well, back out of town. But hi. How are you? Thank you for bringing cooler weather to this part of Florida. You are going to be a nutty month for me—not…
I’m half in costume and the party gets underway soon…so from the Korknisse and I, until tomorrow…
Today is a busy day for me: filling orders, finishing last-minute crafts, last-minute cleaning for guests, an early Samhain ritual, meeting with a friend, and then back home to greet another friend who is coming to stay the weekend from far away. Whew, lots to do! A witch’s work is never done! :) When I…
