As a stipulation to being a member of this group, Charmed Fanatics, you will have until the end of March 2009 to become a member to continue to have access to the free Book of Shadows replica pages. Once you are a member, I will add you as a friend, who then be the only ones able to view the posted pages. So basically, only members will be able to get my replica pages for free.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but I worked hard to make these pages which took years, and I would only like to share with people who I can have continuous contact with. I haven't resorted to selling my pages yet, but I would appreciate it if the members of this group do not share with others who are not. If I happen to see any of my pages online (I have ways of finding out), I will be forced to add watermarks to future posts to prevent any copying or not post them at all. 

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Hey guys, I found a new online payment site that is like paypal but it is totally free. And if you sign up you now, you get $25 free just for signing up. An extra $10 if you refer someone. I just finished verifying my acct. The only thing is that you can only send or receive payment from someone who is also has an acct. This site is called Revolution Money Exchang, just click to button above. Check it out.

Hey peeps, I have recently opened an online store that's been up for about a month now for my creations at Lov.li. I have already made some sales, so it's promising. And it's also free, so go and take a look if you have some creative stuff that you've done and would like to sell or just post them there for others to see. It's way more friendly than etsy.

I have a widget you can click on too to take you right to my shop. Would appreciate a visit even if it's just to look around.

Thanks and have a Blessed Day!

Well, I couln't find  a group that was about the TV series Charmed to my liking so I created one. Feel free to join and pass on the word that this group does exists to others. I have seen a lot of charmed fan sites and forums, but I think they are a bit of a hassle, or it just might be me because I don't do forums and fan sites. So I am looking forward to meeting new people that have some serious love for the much missed cancelled show. I still watch the reruns and have just begun to collect the seasons on DVD. Also, you can take a look at my blog where I have posted some samples of my replica pages that I have done since I started making my own Book of Shadows almost 2 years or so ago . It's been a little a difficult to find the pages that are in the actual book to replicate the pages, which some I made up myself. Hope that this group comes together with members that are willing to share any pages or know where to find them for the BoS. I am so ready to get mine done, as I am sure some of you others are too, instead of paying rediculous prices for a book with pages that are not even close to resembling the real thing. Here are some of pages inside my BoS in progress and the outside cover. Enjoy!

Here are some quilt tops that I have done over the years, not yet quilted though. Wish I could get someone to do that part for me, but then I would have to pay them, so I just assume do it myself...eventually. Me, I like making the quilt top, not too much about actual quilting part of it. But I am proud of myself, being that I am an ameture at this art.

OMG! I have had headaches since high school, which has been 20+ years now, and I mean sickening headaches and ones that never quit go away. So I have one every day. You may wonder how I have I dealt with this type of constant pain for so long. Well, at first my mom thought it may be because of my eyes, but after I started wearing glasses in my freahman or sophomore year in high schoo, we thought it would solve the problem. No such luck. I got to the point of training myself to relax and calm down at least to get to point where I could tolerate the light pain in my head.That worked ok for me for awhile. I mean it had to because I wasn't one to take drugs every day. Sometimes it did get to point that I would take some OTC drug that worked until that 100ct bottle was empty, which by then I would have to switch to something else because I had gotten immune to what I was taking before, therefore it stopped working. But of course, when I got pregnant I didn't care how much pain I was in, I refused to take anything even if Tylenol was safe to take during pregnancy. In any case, I dealt with it. Up until about 2 years ago, when the pain was normal but felt different. Now some would ask or suggest that I see a doctor. Too scared; fearing that they would find something bad, I never did until then. My doctor orders an MRI and this was on a Thursday and I was supposed to go back after the results came back the following Monday. After leaving the hospital though, and stopping a few places on the way home, I get a call from the doctor's office to come back the next day. Needless to say that this scared the crap out of me! I go back and the doctor commences to ask me questions about my family's health history referring to the brain. Ok again, this is scaring me even more and I'm thinking "Come on man, what did you find?!!" Then he tells me that I have something that I was born with called chiari malformation http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/chiari/chiari.htm#What_is, which is  condition where the back of the brain, more specifically the cerebellum and the brainstem, extends down into the spine than ususal which causes the fluid that is supposed to be there  puts pressure on the nerves, therefore causing the pressure on my head. Now, this was so bad that I hated to sneeze or do anything that I had to strain to do because it hurt so bad. I would be brought to my knees from exscruciating pain when I sneezed then my neck would be incredibly fatigued which also hurt and that would last to about 5 to 10 minutes. This condition would also cause problem with my limbs again because of the pressure in my spine, which I was always feeling numbness in my fingers, and this will get worse over time (affecting my walking and being able to use my hands). The only thing that cure it was surgery; chiari decompression. Fitting name uh? Well, the surgeon that my doctor referred me to said the same thing, so with no hesitation I agreed to the surgery which was to take place about a month or so. I wasn't scared up until the day came. I came through with flying colors besides of course the pain that came afterward. During recovery, I wore a brace sometimes that helped hold my hold up, due to the muscle in the back of my neck being cut, it got tiring holding it up on my own. I thought, my gosh, I never knew my head was so heavy. Haha. But after all that, it got better to where I actually had days when I DID NOT have a headache or I didn't have to take anything to get rid of one, as long as I just relaxed and do do too much. Well, those days are missed because now I'm back to having the headaches again 24\7 and medication is not helping. Not getting the pressure though. Now, I have a job where I have to talk to cranky people all day and I also have an autistic 12 year old is a 25/8 child, meaning some days he can be more than a handful. I work because I have to; because my money tree out back is not longer being fruitful and I just refuse to let the hubby pay for everything, but in all seriousness I work while having terrible headaches. So my dilema is, what am I to do now where as I am getting too old to continue putting my body through this pain and stress. I have a good life and I am happy, besides the headaches of course, but I am seriously contemplating going on disability because of obvious reasons. I have joked about just cutting my head off and setting it to side for a while, but this is now getting more irritating and rediculous. I'm only 37 and coming up on my next b'day this month. I don't want to retire, but what other choice do I have. I live in small town, so light jobs here are scarce. I'm already working at the best paying place in town. What to do?

Smoked or baked? is the question.  The Thanksgiving turkey,...smoked or baked? Frankly, I see it as just one less huge thing I have to cook. Better make up my mind before it's too late. Other than thinking about the feast for turkey day, I have got a house to clean because this year everyone is congregating at our house for the first time since we bought it a year ago. My significant other put his foot down, we would always go to everyone else's humble abode for the holdiays, so he told his mom that they everyone could come to our house since we have always been to theirs and if they didn't come then oh well, but we weren't going to theirs. I mean I don't mind, it was my idea anyway and he agrees. It would be nice for a change to have alot of people in the house for once. We never have alot of company at one time and this would be nice to be the hostess instead of the guest. In any case, I have carpets to clean, a tree to put up and food to cook, even though I won't have to cook everything. Everybody always bring something anyway, so the cooking part will be hectic at all. It's gonna be different for us but it will be fun.

So there are things to do and more things to do and no time to waste. I won't get alot of help if any getting it all done. I love my family, but when it comes to keeping up the house, they are useless. I can get the help when I make threats, and you would think that a list would help. I would make a list of things that need to be done and my husband would ask what do you want me to do. Oh come on man, pick something on the list and do it! He does it and asks again, "What do you want me to do now?" I give up!!

I get off work at 1:30 am in the morning and one would think I'd go bee-line straight to bed. I wasn't feeling well at work, actually feel a sickness of some sort coming which I will be nipping in the bud. But when I get home I'm wired and not at all tired. Little achey but not enough to keep me down. Just posting pix and getting the hang of this site. Pretty much got sick of myspace. My daughter actually keeps that up for me. Ya know, posting comments or blogs every once in while, or mostly just changing the layout or theme. Hubby just left work and soon the kids will be up and outta here heading for school, so I will sleep when the house is empty. Ahhhh, yes. Little terds didn't have school yesterday. I don't recall having so many damn days off from school when I was attending. And did you know that they now have "FALL" break?! Who thought of that?

'Not stressing anything today, I have a headache, by the way is nothing new with me, so I'm not doing anything that requires moving a muscle. Well that's the plan, at least until the house fills up again. That's when I have to be up to make sure it stays clean and in one piece. Any mothers out there that have to raise a little hell, or what they tell me around here, "b@#$h"  a little until you're heard when asking for small requests like, "Could you pick that up instead of just walking over it?" I'm pretty sure. I threatened to go on strike. One day it will happen I guess, but I keep reminding myself that I will have alot of shit to clean up when I get back. So it's highly possible that it will ever happen.

Well, gotta get the crumb snatchers up and on their way. Rush, rush!!!
