I love working with stones

2012-02-09T10:00:00.000-08:00

Photos below are a few stone pendants I wire wrapped. I love working with stones because of the different energies each one carries! I choose all my stones, from many metaphysical shops. Each one calls me. I feel am like their adopted home, then each one will go to there right homes - through me. I love charging my finished projects on my bed of stones/crystals to infuse them with great/loving magick! I also add healing energy called, reiki in them too :) You can really feel the wonderful magick/love/protection in each of my pieces ,while your wearing or holding them :)

This one is sold (my personal one). Kyanite wire wrapped in sterling silver/copper wire.

Peach moonstone, wire wrapped in copper & silver plate/copper wire. Available

Things I love & manifested

2012-02-09T09:42:00.000-08:00

This black candle stick I found in a thrift shop. The glass votive I had for many years - the other piece I had broke.....just couldn't part with this votive cuz it so cool. I knew I would find something cool for it. I think it looks great inside this cast iron candle stick. Don't you?

I've been searching for a window similar to this. Then, my boyfriend brought me this one home. He halls rolloff's and found this in the garbage.

I love rustic/old worn furniture. I found these 2 pieces (in photo's above/below) at a vintage shop. I was so excited to find these! I have always wanted something like the bottom photo, that has drawers. I scored big :)

I was looking for a mannequin for our boutique. Then, next day my sister calls me and said a store was getting new mannequins in and selling these one fairly cheap. Now, I have serval :D

I found this cabinet at a thrift shop. I painted it and now have a new display case for my magickal oils!

I love my new perfume bottles :) I was looking for some very similar to this!

Witch Getting Ready For Some Real Good/Pos. Magick

2011-08-22T11:38:00.000-07:00

I want to say that "I LOVE being a Witch"! I love creating magick, working with herbs, making tinctures, natural perfumes, oils, ect.... As I am a natural born healer!
The past few days, I have been excited and motivated to work with magkcial items! I see so many good things coming my way! Therefore, I am inspired to share good things with my friends :) I feel good everyone deserves good in life!!
Yesterday, I was in such a great pos. creative state and needed to cleanse things around the house! Everyday, life can keep us from doing such! For a few years, I have been asking the universe to help me get my life back in order & well organized - it's doing just that!
Today, I cleansed my altar tools (with a great mixtured I made, suggested by my UK friend "CAZ").
I have so many creative things running through my head and loving it! I love putting love & pos. magick into all my creations! I love charging/infusing my jewlery with magick ;)

I Am Thankful That My Son Is Moved Back Home ;-)

2010-03-31T08:51:00.000-07:00

I am thankful that my son, Tony has decided to move back home :-D He has always been against alcohol and drugs. I have always talked my children about drugs, sex, and pure pressure - them sorts of things. I always had a good bond with them! We are a very close family.

Tony turned 18 on June 22, 2009. Then, moved out shortly after turning 18. Started hanging out with the wrong crown and got into quit a bit of trouble. Which he then turned into a kid I didn't know! A complete stranger:-(

I had a hard time with him moving out but knew it was for the best. I felt that he is on his learning path and I needed to let him go! I cried for months......as this is the hardest thing for us mothers. You bring your babies into this world but never think they will leave you. Especially, that soon -- and that close of a bond! You are never prepared for this -- atleast I wasn't!

However, the good thing is......he is ready to make better choices and get back on the right path! He loves to race 4-wheelers. His dream is to become a pro racer and become a legion on day! Tony realizes in order to do this he must get on the right path and make so good changes in his life.

Tony now lives back home -- where he belongs! He has learnt so much in his time time away -- on his journey!! I am so proud of him and glad he has learned from his mistakes;-)

My boy is turning in to such a nice young man!!

By everything Tony went though.....he now ask help from the higher power. His spirituality is really coming out and has choosen a positive path. Now, he wants to become someone and lives for his dreams!

Dear Tony ~

I You have many great talents and so gifted. You have so much to learn and live for. I am so proud of you wonderful choices! You are a winner/star! Go for your dreams/desires!! Do what makes you happy, as you deserve the best in life! I am so proud to call you my son, Tony Lee ;-) Go for your dreams -- you are the one that can make them happen! Never give up on them!!

RIDE TO LIVE! LIVE TO RIDE!

Love Always and forever, Momma (Gypsie)

Thankful for......

2010-01-16T10:32:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I dropped my 15 yr. old daughter off at work. She works in a grocery store. I needed a few things so, went in the store.

As I was paying for my items -- a woman was entering the store (worker - who was just starting her shift as well)......grabbed my arm and said -- "Hey sweetie". I looked and she had the strangest look on her face as she looked at me and heared/saw my daughter from across the store. She was dazed and confused.

What was going through my head, was.......do I know this lady?? She looks familiar. The woman said....."I am so sorry -- You aren't Taylor"! I said, I am Tyler's mom. She said "I am so sorry, I thought your where Tyler. We laughed and she hugged my arm. I laughted all the way home, cuz alot of people do that and the look on her face was just priceless. hahaha

I am thankful that I look good for my age. In 3 months I will be 40 yrs. old. I am not thrilled on the age.....but however I am glad I still look pretty young. That's what alot of people tell me anyway.

I am also thankful that I am still here on earth to see age 40:-)

Update On My Truck Motor

2009-12-22T08:04:00.000-08:00

Kevin just came in and gave me the great news......my heater motor is officially fixed! That was the problem and we don't need to buy a new motor!!! Thank GOD!!! Whaaa Hooo!! I am so greatful/thankful....you just don't know! I appreciate my man!!

xoox Gypsie

I Am Thankful For......

2009-12-22T07:17:00.000-08:00

My heater in my truck was making very loud sounds in the heater - when I turned it up on high. Today, Kevin checked it out for me.....thinking we may need a new heater which will cost $80.00 or more. He took out the heater and found this mess in the heater motor. Hopefully our problem is now solved! Haven't got a report yet -- as he is out in the shop, now putting it back together. I have a pretty good feeling that is what the problem is!
I am thankful to have Kevin -- he takes good care of me. Without him, this could of costs me lots of money! I am so glad that it's an easy fix!

Peace, love, and light xoox Gypsie

I picked up this dress form up from Hobby Lobby last month. I almost bought 2 of them but ended up buying only one. I went back last week and the other one was gone:-( Then was wishing I would of bought them both!
I love thrift shops....cuz you never know what you find and can be quite interesting. Yesterday, I ended up going to this thrift shop in my home town and found a dress form (the last picture below). I was so excited to find this!!!! It only cost me a dollar! What a deal!!! It needs work -- nothing that glue can't fix! I plan to create this wonderful dress form to my liking:-)

Touched by An Angel - 5 yr. Old That Loves Christmas Cards

2009-11-15T10:09:00.001-08:00

I got an email from one of my ning group friends.....telling everyone about this little boy "Noah" who is celebrating christmas early this year. Because he was diagnosed with Stage IV neuroblostoma cancer. He loves Christmas cards and that is what he wants for Christmas.

I was emotionally/mentally/spiritually touch by Noah's story, so I will be sending him 2 of my original hand painted angel cards. I wasn't sure what type Angel I wanted to send him so, decided to send one of each Angel cards that I make. I feel he is suposed to get one of each of my cards. Which I will be leaving the both cards blank with a letter for Noah. I believe he is to keep them until he is done with them, then he is suposed to give these two cards to 2 very special people (and write something) before he leaves for home. This is the message I was given.

If you would also like to send this little Angel a card or find out more about him..... you can find his story here:

I Have A Monkey On My Back!

2009-11-05T09:11:00.000-08:00

Here in Minnesota, there is a commerial on the radio. This guy states that he has a monkey on his back. But he really doesn't have a monkey on his back! It's another type of animal, can't remember off hand what kind of animal lol

For some odd reason, I was thinking about this so, I thought I would post a pix of a real monkey on your back. Now that's really having a monkey on your back LMFAO

I will be doing some painting with this monkey (that's on my back) in the near future. Follow my blog for futher updates:-) BB Gypsie

Life is Precious! Be Thankful!!

2009-11-04T06:06:00.001-08:00

This morning I was feeling quit negative:-(

I am working on my 100 day challenge....so I went to the 100 day ning site -- which I am a member. I am thankful for this site! It is very inspiring for me:-)For those of you who haven't heard of it....it is a group that has alot of positive/inspiring people here.
What this challenge is -- you set your goals (write them down in a journal, video blog or on the site blog). You do this for a 100 days and then see what happens in the 100 days. See your dreams manifest and live life pos. to it's fullest. Here is the link: http://www.cocreatingourreality.com/

While making coffee this morning. I saw this cute little squirrel breaking leaves off an old oak tree and gathering them. He/she is getting ready for the winter.
Then it dawned on me....I need to have more graditute in my life!
I am thankful that I have heat for the winter and a warm safe house to live in, that I share with my beautiful family! This poor little squirrel has to struggle to survive these long cold winters. Those thoughts just made my whole day change:-) I feel blessed and love everyone in my life!!

I am also greatful to have spotted this cute little squirrel this morning. As he made me realize, I need to be more thankful for things in life! Because of this squirrel and my pos. thinking, I turned a crappy morning into a pos. one:-) I am thankful!!

You see.....just taking a neg. feeling and switching it into pos. thinking, you can change your life and way of thinking too:-) Also having graditude will make a world of difference too! You must really FEEL all these good feelings -- which then will bring pos. things!

I have 2 blogs....one to share my artwork with everyone and this one - that I was using to help promote my friend and I with out artwork. I plan to continue doing this but also just decided to post often about what I am thankful for.

I love helping others and love inspire them! I think if I could atleast help one person by blogging or whatever it maybe. It would bring me such joy and happiness:-)

More inspiration blogs coming soon! Follow my blogs to see whatelse I am thankful for:-) I also have a youtube account: http://www.youtube.com/user/dreammonkeys I plan to make self help videos for people that need positive inspiration.

Have a blessed day, Gypsie xoox
