Give a Poem a Home - Halloween 2009

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada! We had great eats and lots of family over. The next calendar event is HALLOWEEN! So, here's a free poem from me to put in your Halloween cards this year.

It’s the time of year that monsters come out.
Spooks do their spooking and bats fly about!
There are werewolves and witches and all things between!
Here’s to a fun and Happy Halloween!

October 2009 EFA Challenge

The October 2009 Etsy for Animals (EFA) challenge for members is "Halloween Cats". Member artists had to craft something cat related and the entries will be featured on the EFA challenge blog all month long.

I just love the kitty Halloween tags by ShesBattyDesign there!

Here's what I've made for the challenge:
I've got one available on my Etsy site (in USD) and one on iCraft (CAD). 10% of the proceeds from this card, if sold on Etsy, will go the EFA animal charity of the month!

I just love Halloween! Stay-tuned to the blog. I will be posting a freebie within the month of October!

It's All in the Bag - Vegan Samples!

Ensorcelled Minds Inc. is a proud contributor to this year's It's All in the Bag vegan sampler bags - the Holiday edition. 100% of the proceeds from the sales of these bags will go to an animal sanctuary. Here's what I've got in the bag!


I only sent 25 pairs of tags, so not every bag will have them. The August bag sold out in NINE days! I'm hoping for a better record on the holiday bags. The holiday bags will go on sale November 1st, 2009. If you would like to read more about it, here is their blog: vegan craft samples

Paper Twirlies

There is an article about my quilling over on the Paper Twirlies Team blog! The Paper Twirlies are a team of paper quillers. Quilling is the art of making shapes out of rolled paper. It is also known as paper filigree. Filigree is a metal artform of making elaborate designs with scrolling shapes. Paper filigree started by rolling the paper around a feather quill, hence the name paper quilling. Paper quilling is capable of making many varied artforms: decorative scenes, filled in work, 3-D sculptures, jewellery, scrapbook and card embellishments and more! Read up about more paper twirlies team members and their art over on the Paper Twirlies Blog!
