One year I made a rock garden by painting a bunch of large ugly rocks black and then painting flowers on them and spraying a glaze over them. They turned out awesome! And I didn't have to worry about watering the garden!

How about maybe painting flower pots? Of course you would have to make sure the paints are non-toxic. But they could either "finger paint on the outside of the pots, or you could buy"stamps" of different things and have them stamp some designs on them. Then maybe after they are dont with their part you can spray the pots with some kind of matte finsh so the paint wont come off. It might even be cute with their little hands prints on the pots,lol. Have fun :)

Anyone have any type of crafting ideas in which I can involve my children? I have a six y/o, a three y/o and a 14 m/o.

Thanks Elizabeth, They're almost too pretty to burn. When they do burn, they leave a thin shell down the candle that glows and makes for a wonderful effect. Palm are my favorite candles. I want to try to make taper candles next out of palm. A couple sizes between 4" and 12". I think they would make lovely spell candles.

hey all, I have already posted comments in the Making candles section, but thought I'd post a hello to everyone else. I have pictures of some of the types of crafts that I do. Woodworking (long time), etching/engraving (just started), Polymer Clay (just started). Other than that, You already know I make candles.


Someone indicated that they had never heard of palm candles. Here is a picture of some of some palm candles I made showing the starburst crystalization patterns on the candle.

I have been scrap booking my Book of Shadows for about 3 weeks now.
I really love it.
I read on a website some ideas....


Besides the normal content in a BOS.... maybe add a parts of you that add your flavor

* altars
* candles
* stuff on the walls
* your book shelf
* the book you are reading or using most
* pictures of nature and you can then include journaling about your thoughts on the seasonal changes
* the moon, the ocean, the lake, the meadow, the yard, the flowers, the snow, the whatever
* pictures of your family traditions
* your favorite jewelry or what you wear daily
* your kids dressed up
* holidays
* foods
* festivals or events you attend
* anything you collect -- crystals, stones, tarot decks, witch figurines.
* have the kids or family get involved -- the kids can draw pictures or make craft items which you can photograph. The kids can do journaling on a card and you can include it.
* how about memorabilia? business cards from Pagan shops or businesses?
* pictures of Pagan friends or your local community
* print parts of emails you like
* color copy pages of books you refer to
* print out parts of websites you visit for reference
* pictures of the Pagan touches around your house
But I think this is a great idea! DOCUMENT YOUR PAGAN LIFE. The life you are actually living as you live it!
What an awesome reference for future generations -- your children or Pagans in general! What a treasure!


Thank you and Blessed Be
