Practical Magic Party

So here we are at the Practical Magic Party Day

Well technically Im a day late, but I played with my daughter for the whole day which I havent been able to do in months, so I think thats a good enough excuse. dont you??

Im going to be having a give away with my little story so stay tuned.

What torture to pick a part you like best...not an easy task, I love that the music is done by Sheryl Crowe and Stevie Nicks, is there anything better??  And who dosent want those Aunts living with them, in the house, ohh drool... anywho I had to chose so...

A part of the movie I love is the Amas Veritas spell...

I still have my diary form that age, day to day ramblings of a 12 year old, ohh the troubles of a 12 year old!

But its not this diary Im telling you about...when I turned 21 I could either have a huge party or use the money to go on a vacation.  I chose to have a 21st picnic in a park and then go on my own tropical holiday! seeing I was obsessed with Deserted Island movies and mermaids and living on an Island walking around in near to nothing but a bit of muslin, eating fish and bananas, Ohh my imagination!

I went to Beachcomber Island in Fiji for 10 days.with my darling Miss G

It was the best holiday ever, party party party, and for a single girl (one of the only times in my life), boys boys boys!!! woo hooo.

Before we left another wonderful friend Rufeo made me a first aid travel pack, it was a wonderful bag full of jars and potions, film cannister to document talent on the island, condoms, herbal teas, anti shark attack medication (shark lollies), heartbreaker pills (heart lollies), male magnet capsules, please use carefully, effect is irreversible (tic tacs!)... and the main part im getting to was a beautiful blue bottle with a scroll of paper in it to send out a message in a bottle...to send my own message out into the depths of the ocean.

Now because I was single and in the company of many available HOT! men, of course I had male brain..

So I sent out a spell, not for a man that didint exist, but for a man that would finally understand me and be happy with the life I wanted to live (never before found!)

Now Im a huge diary writer, and spent most of my time on this island documenting every move we made, there wasent much else to do in the day! apart from nurse our hangovers...

So here is the original draft for my spell, it was sent out into the ocean, hidden in the coral when we went snorkelling one day....The funny thing is I obviousy didnt send it out far enough, when I had been home from the island for 2 weeks a random girl rang to say she had found my bottle! and wanted to know when I was there, I think she was thinking in terms of years and when I told her it had only been two weeks, all we could do was laugh, she was nice enough to re plant it, but this time a little further, so far in fact that it will probably never be found!..



But thats OK, because I have found my perfect man, and as strange as the world works, he is not much like the man I wrote about, but he is so perfect for me in every way...especially proven over the last six months when Im sure most males would have run..

So thankyou to my wonderful Smelly Kelly, a strange story of fate in itself that I will reveal some other time.

So love and spells and fates aside I decided that a giveaway was fitting for a wonderful day.

I love natural witch craft, nature, earth etc so I printed some wiccan T shirts.

I have two to give away, a size 12 (pictured) and a 14 (nz sizes)



just leave a comment and then I will draw from the names.

If you want one but dont win, no fretting my sweets, I have 3 in my Etsy shop for $12USD.



So enjoy your Practical Magic hopping, I have been painting all week for an upcoming exhibition, so I like to do this in front of the TV with DVDs playing, its great.. I dont have to watch the screen and can just listen and know what is going on, I look up for my fav parts!

So I have watched Practical Magic 3 times this week trying to find what resonated with me. Hard when it all does, although I have never jumped off my roof, killed a man, buried my ex in my back yard, ripped up my floor boards, invited my girls over to 'Clean House', trained frogs to do tricks, had a sister, burned rose bushes or made a cactus pancake!

I do however live in a small coastal town which my family has done for generations.

If only in that house...ohh phewey!

Thankyou to the ladies who organised this wonderful party.
