A little contest opportunity....

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED TO COMMENTS! 
 Winner to be announced soon!


I happened to be in Michael's yesterday, and came across a bunch of really interesting stuff.  Stuff that made my heart sing and made me laugh out loud.  You may recognize the "person" in the picture: 






I had to buy it all.  Had to.  And then I thought, why not buy two?  So here it is, a little reader appreciation giveaway!  So far it includes a small shopping bag, a travel cup, a set of coasters, a set of wooden spoons, a recipe box, some vintage candy, a spiffy pen and two sets of recipe cards (I'm sure a few more things will land in the box before it's all over).  I'll also be throwing in a Voodude™, yet to be determined, lol.  Annnnnd, one set of recipe cards will hold a few of my personal favorite magical recipes - incense recipes, a few favorite magical symbols, instructions for making your own magical household cleansing products.  Who knows what will end up on them, lol?

This contest is open to anyone, anywhere.  All you have to do to enter is leave one comment  to this post*.  That's it.  Easy Peasy.  



Please note: Comment moderation, as always, is in effect, so your post won't show up right away.  It's there, though.  Swear.


The contest will end July 7th, noon EST with the winner to be chosen by an online random number generator.  In the meantime,  I might throw in some different ways to get extra entries, so keep your eyes peeled!


*If you do not have an open profile, where I can contact you via email or your blog by clicking on your user name, please leave an email address where you can be reached.  If I can't find a way to contact the person who is chosen, I will have to pick an alternate winner.

This is AMAZING. I would love the opportunity to see some of your recipes!. I remember when I first got into your blog. My friend told me she was reading something on a blog she's been following. I asked which blog and she told me "Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom," I chuckled, and knew I had to check it out. I was a stay-at-home Pagan Mommy, and it was just too fitting.

Ah! Michael's is absolutely my most favorite craft store in the world (or at least within 45 minutes of my house, haha) I recently bought a recipe box and cards from there, however my 2 year old decided she liked it better for her "from trips to the doctor" sticker collection & worry dolls. This is an awesome idea for a contest and so cute as well!
