I know it is a little early, but ...

Here are my Samhain Cards!!!!! I may tweak them a little before then. I am now working on my Yule cards. I have to much time on my hands, lol.

Make me strong in spirit

Make Me Strong in Spirit

Make me strong in spirit
Courageous in action
Gentle of heart
Let me act in wisdom
Conquer my fear and doubt
Discover my own hidden gifts
Meet others with compassion
Be a source of healing energies
And face each day with hope and joy

Garden Witchery

Well this year I finally got my way and put in a raised garden bed. It is only a small one 4 by 8 feet, but it suits our needs. I am going to plant tomatoes 3 different kinds peppers in different varieties some beans and a few other things. I will post more pics when I get everything in. I also put in a flower bed ( it was spur of the moment.) Sadly my yard is mostly dirt and sand, so I consider this a vast improvement.

Sterling heights nature center

This past wednesday my lovely friend Luna invited Dawn, Amanda, myself and our children to the nature center. I had a great time and it was a beautiful day. I really enjoyed seeing the YA YA's.

Pagan Prayer and Daily Devotions

I usually have my daily routine of prayers and saying grace. Every Morning Trinity and I light a candle and give thanks for the new day. (my Son Ashton is uninterested, although I still ask if he wants to participate daily.) I recently realized I have none of these written down, so I decided to do so. I then ran into the issue of finding what I would consider to be a special journal to do so. It suddenly occurred to me, that I have a wonderful journal with friendship quotes. I received it at my blessingway last year, and my YA YA's wrote wonderful things in it for me. Needless to say it is something I pull out when I need a boost. I decided to use this to write my daily prayers, devotionals, and rites in. Some from other books and some written by myself. I made a bookmark for it out of some blue ribbon and beads with a tassel. It turned out great I love it Here are some pics. The background in the pics are some chinese brush artwork that my son Ashton did.
