Hello there-
Last week I posted a few pictures of my lovely Ogoun apron made by Mambo Sam and her mother in law Eileen. Today I would like to share with you some pictures of the apron I have gotten for working with Gran Bwa. This fabric is gorgeous! I hope you enjoy the photos. For more information on the Aprons, please see www.spellmaker.com/voodoowares.htm

Hello there!
Recently, Mambo Sam, in conjunction with her mother in law Eileen, began offering traditional Voodoo aprons. This collaborative effort produces wonderfully hand crafted, made to order aprons that are one of a kind. You can read about the details here: www.spellmaker.com/voodoowares.htm Below are some pictures of the first apron I ordered, this one is for Ogoun! It is simply beautiful! I will be posting pictures of my other aprons as we go along. I guess you can say Im a bit addicted to them 🙂 Anyway- check out the Aprons, you will be glad that you did.

Hey there!
With June quickly approaching, and the triple Papa Legba ritual coming up, I am working on a list of songs in honor of Papa! if you have a favorite song you like to play or sing for dear Papa, please let me know and I will add it to my list. A few of you have already sent suggestions, and I thank you. I am still collecting songs for the Papa Playlist, tho. Feel free to post them here or email the name of the song to bridget@spellmaker.com There could be prizes involved 🙂

Welcome to a new decade! 2010!
I was thinking back yesterday about the turn of the century – the whole year 2000, Y2K thing, and all of the talk that went along with that. It was easy for me to remember where I was, what I was doing, who I was working for, where I lived, all of that. What I couldnt remember was what goals I had for myself.What thought had I put into the coming decade? Where did I want to go? Where would I want to be living? What would I like my life to be like when the next new decade began?
So, this time around, I am going to do things differently. I am making New Decade Resolutions!
Thinking in a ten year time frame really makes you look at long term goals, and gives you time to assess the intermediate steps to reaching your goal. It takes the focus off the day to day comings and goings and occasional setbacks we might have. It certainly is easier to look at a bump in the road and feel less pressured about it when you are looking at a 10 year time frame than one of months!
Yes, times are tough right now, economically, politically, etc. BUT now is also the TIME TO DREAM! Take a pad and pen and write out or sketch what you want your life to be like in 2020! It is NOT THAT FAR OFF! Where do you want to be living in 2020? What would you like your home to be like? Your friends? Your family? What kind of job do you wish to have? What kind of people do you wish to work for? What kind of vacations will you be taking? What do you want your body to look like? Who do you want to be sharing your life with?
"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."

Review your personal mission statement. See how it is reflected in your sketch above. Construct a Dream Board to reflect the goals that you have set for yourself. Be proactive, make it fun! Dare to Dream!

(I am dreaming about Spring already!)
At first, I thought it was a hoax – definately too good to be true. But it was on the news – more than one channel, even. As I was sitting in the waiting room while my car was being serviced, I kept flipping from cable news channel to cable news channel – Surely, they all couldn't be wrong……
So, when I got home later on, I checked out the website that was being mentioned, and it does seem to be TRUE!
The Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act is real! Every Friday at 9am ET thru September, Mars Candy Company will be giving away 250,000 coupons for a free candy bar every week!
Check it out! There may not be any such thing as a free lunch, but there are free candy bars!
