I'm also af medieval re-enactor, so I love anything medieval.... food, music, art, history, fashion, crafts, folklore and so on

Comment: OMG, what an amazing shrine! Thank you soooooo much. It is very special and I will treasure it. Thanks also for the beautiful candle and pendant. :) We even enjoyed looking at the newspapers you used for packing (I have a minor obsession with Scandinavia, as opposed to my major one with Asia). I really didn't expect this to arrive for a while because I knew you were having problems with your hand. Thanks for being a wonderful swap partner and I hope your hand is better. xx

HYR - Halloween Idea Book - Round 1

Thank you for the wonderful ideas and really very yummy looking pumpkin bites. The lanterns look like a lot of fun and relatively easy to make. Anna

TheFallenAngel on Jul 22, 2009:

She ran away a little while ago. :-( I'm replacing her with Clippy, since he seems to have been stomped into obedience. He isn't trying to crawl away anymore, at least.

TheFallenAngel on Jul 22, 2009:

Do I rock because I'm having too much fun doing this, or just 'cause I'm doing it? ;-)

marilavado on Jul 1, 2009:
