• Oy I’m bad… I completely forgot to post the Newsletter link yesterday. Tsk. This week’s Ancient Whispers newsletter topic is enchantments. I got into a discussion of this topic on one of my email lists and thought my answers compiled into an essay would make a great newsletter theme. This week’s craft instructs you on how to make simple charms and you can find more instruction in the Sites of Interest.

  I also added a search “engine” to my webpage. So now you can search for a topic, and if I’ve written about it, you’ll be able to find it without going through my site with a fine tooth comb. I also finally got around to organizining and posting links to my “BOS,” which is really an expanded version of my ”Tools of the Trade” articles. Links are at the very bottom of the Newsletter Archives. The chapters are listed below.

  Funny thing, when I did the calendar for the newsletter this time, I was a week ahead of myself. I’m thinking I’m subconsciously eager for my birthday on the 3rd of March. But why would I be eager for my 30th birthday I ask you?? lol Still, interesting syncronicity… I’ll be 30 on the 3rd day of the 3rd month. Groan… I’m old! Wahhhhhhh lol
