Sorry for the change in background ... again....

For those of you who check in regularly, I would like to apologize for the revolving door of backgrounds you have seen here lately. Really I'm not as indecisive as it seems.  LOL

When I find a background/ template I like, something manages to go wrong with it and I find that my blog looks like it was designed by monkeys.  (No offense to the flying monkeys - you know I'll always love ya!) 

So it's time to take things into my own hands and make my own background/layout. That way if it goes wrong there will be no one to blame but me. (and Mac of course )


So my project for tonight and tomorrow is to make my blog truly my home and decorate it!

This could be an adventure, so stick around. :) I'll keep you posted.

Moonbeams & Blessings,
Jesi & Mac (who is not helping.. again)

Sunday Sketches

All week long I doodle in my sketch book and no one ever sees them but me. So today I want to start something new, Sketchpad Sunday.  Each Sunday I'll add the new things from my sketchbook so that you get a glimpse into where my mind goes as it wanders through the day. 

I'm not a great sketch artist, but I enjoy it and it helps me keep ideas fresh in my mind. There could be doodles, doll ideas, notes to my self and any number of odd things. One of which may be Mac's signature from time to time. LOL He enjoys helping me sketch. 

So here goes. This is my sketch book from today.

Tomorrow I'll show you the beginnings of something new.

Until then enjoy what's left of the weekend!

Happy Holidays! & My latest project

Mac and & wanted to wish you all a very Happy Holiday Season. We really appreciate you stopping by to share some creativity with us. It means a lot.

Here's what's been keeping my so busy for that past little bit. It's a family tree collage for my Mommy-in-law.
                                                    (Click on the pic to see a bigger image.)

She's super sweet and I wanted to do something really special for her this year.  There is a photo of her grandmother, her parents and all her brothers and sisters; ten in all!


Over the holidays,  I'm going to play around and get my studio back in order after the frenzy that took place. "Once Upon A Moon" is "Once Upon A Mess!" at the moment. LOL

January brings us into a new year and a lot more creativity. And regular blog posts, I promise!

For now, Mac and I are going to go find some goodies in the kitchen and then wonder off to bed.

Moonbeams & Blessings!
Jesi and Mac

This blog is running me BATTY!

For some reason my blog has decided to eat my design template. Please bear with me while I try and make sense of this mess. Mac is not helping at all. He's lying on the bed making those squinty cat eyes that they make when they know the answer to the problem and refuse to help. Grrrrrrr  Perhaps if I bribe him...

Come be my friend on Facebook!

I just got my page set up on Facebook and I'd love for you to be my friend there.

!! Just Click Here !!  (Or use the link on the right side of the page)

Mac and I will be posting snippets during the day & keeping you up to date on the fantastical friends that stop in and the magical mayhem that is happening. Don't be the last one to know when the Root Witches are going to be in the shop. I hear there might be a frosty lass on her way soon.

Moonbeams & Blessings
Jesi

What Tarot Card Are You

This seems to suite me well. Some things touch closer to home than others. But then I guess I have always been a moon child. It's quite evident from the moons you will find everywhere in my home.

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
