Crafting the Holidays

For those who may, like me, have started late in the year & wish to craft a few items for holiday presents, here are a few sites & tips. There isn't time for much, but these can get you going.  Next year we'll start in July, right? 

• Create some botanical perfumes (click here)
• How about a window garden (click here)

Make an herbal tea basket for your tea loving friends.  Mine include:

• Goddess teacup
• 3 home designed artisan teas
• vanilla sugar
• lavender honey (just put 1/4 c lavender into 1 cup honey & stir daily for 2 weeks, then strain)
• lemon balm honey (same as above, but I only used 2 Tbsp fresh lemon balm)
• 3 flowering teas
• tea strainer

Make a portable altar for your witchy friend (I made mine from an old tea tin):

• Decorated box
• Feather (air)
• Lava bead or rock (fire)
• Pentacle or stone (earth) or vial of dirt/sand
• Shell or vial of spring water (water)
• Mini battery-operated candles - black, white or both depending on friend's practices
• Lighter & small sage bundle or smudging spray
• Small terminated crystal (can be used as a wand)
• Mini goddess statue or other deity
• Handkerchief (altar cloth)

You get the idea...just get crafting, and don't forget to tuck a bit of magick into each present.
