And ...she danced by the light of the moon-Hagithas

Blank Pages for the Hagithas Journal ...A follow-up ...
Several pages on astrology....
She did not start out as Hagithas? Here real identity is on the birth record....Or could this be a daughter?
Tarot Card Page, was she a Tarot Reader???
Now, the rest of the story ....
Several weeks ago the Journal of "How to Burn a Witches House Down" came and went from this blog. I thought no more about it, several days ago in the mail a package turned up and

upon inspection it had a strange odor about it.

I left it in the studio unopened as I was not feeling 100 percent and decided to relax my hands and brain for a few days, though each time I passed the studio a faint odor drifted to my nostril's.

This morning up early and ready to attack my Internet, check for orders, and open recent packages...I opened the package and straight away I knew it was an old burned paper smell

that has been assaulting my nose.

Inside of the little box was a note written to me from at this time unknown. Also, falling out of the envelope was the "match" was was with the journal of How to Burn....Oh No! my thoughts were confirmed when i viewed a rather forlorn account of the owner of the house that was touched. The darkened pages and covers were burned to a crisp, flakes broke off the pages as I started to try and make an identification. The journal was made out of brown paper bags, my heart went out to this person, later I did learn that this is the latest in material to make ones journal....big surprise to me.....

You can see the front and back of the journal are extremely damaged.
A closer look of the damage to the front,
Here is a picture of the blank pages of this journal, I believe this


journal was in the making for the new year of 2009? As there are some personal items, like a birth certificate, used collection memories, old theater stubs...well, you know what one sticks in the daily diary.
This was sent to me and as I have already finished my own personal diary for 2009, I wonder if anyone out there in would be interested in Hagithas Journal, I am placing this journal as is condition up for sale to you first then to the Esty shop.

If, your interest in this heart breaking remains of the Hagithas coronal's and to use this diary for your personal diary in the year 2009, well, e:mail me and we can come to some reasonable terms for this item.

I know I should feel some remorse regarding the way this item came about, and I am sure when it really sets in I will be mortified. After all Witches are Gals just trying to have some fun!

and she danced by the light of the moon...

Journal Runner

After spending all day yesterday looking out the windows, reading a terrific book...The
ObamaBomination...(every voter should read this book...It is one of the most well documented books I have read in a very long time) ..I decided to do a little creating, You notice I said a little ...(bg). I always loved Journal Runners...You might ask yourself...Just What is A Journal Runner? ..Well, it a ribbon that is used on the front of purchased Journals. The one pictured is a Fairy on a Large golden swirl...embroidered on a black twill ribbon.
You can use this runner on any purchased journal and when the journal is finished, if you still like that runner you can use it, or you can purchase another, They come to you in almost any design or initials, And will be for sale on this blog before they are placed on Esty site.
The standard size for this runner, the design is 3X6, however, the ribbon wraps around the back of the journal giving you a long ribbon for a slim or taller journal.
In the next few days I will be displaying different designs and initials on the black ribbon.
Today my friend Lenard (the lizard) hung around my window again today, he was trying to tell me that he was back and I could watch out the window with him., but I resisted....to the runner.
Yet, another day of rain beginning around 3pm and lasting not too long, but keeping me in the house and away from the garden. Due to the rains, the flowers are just busting out all over, The waterlilies this year are glorious!
The mothers in the neighborhood are counting the days till their little darlings are off to school, and the shelves in our local Wally World are almost empty.
Within weeks we will be into fall and the cooler nights, and a milder day time.
I finally broke down and ordered another embossing heat tool...from Alpha Stamps...
if, you have not visited Alpha Stamps and your into all the latest and greats books and altered arts...this gal carries just about anything you can imagine, and she ships normally on the same day. She does not hike up the postage and stays well within a small profit margin, giving a great price for items and for service.
I love this site. But, then again I love most sites.





This is just a ribbon that runs the front of any purchased journal.
She's a fairy on the swirl. 3 x 5 inches for the design and around 9 inches long
As always,

And they danced by the light of the moon,

Lizard Awaiting the Rains

Only in Arizona, today in Arizona the rains have been moving across the mountains...with a burst of fury. Late late night the rains started and have been off and on all day. Not much can be done with the power off and on , on and off....no computers, machines, tv. fans, a/c ... well you get the picture.
You can read...or stare out the window. Kat and I decided to stare out the doors and window....lol Kat is my Garfield..
I was sitting in front of a black computer just looking at the window and low and behold, in came a small lizard to attach his self to the screen, As most of the screens in the desert are one way types....you can see out but not in, I could see him but, he was un aware that his underbelly was in full view. He stayed attached to the screen for around one hour. Then the rain came down from the mountains again with a fury and he decided to go under cover....I took these shots of Mr. Lizard thinking to myself I was not the only one to just sit and stare.
When the rains dry up again, I will be working....honest...lol!
As always,
and we danced by the light of the moon.
