Thank you immensely, Angie, I really appreciate your wonderfully kind comment and am with you all the way regarding butterflies on cards (and papercrafts in general). They’re such cheerful, versatile editions to our creations.

Wishing you a fabulous Valentine’s week!

Thank you very much, my sweet friend. You’re making me blush! 🙂

I’ll be sharing a new paper crafting project here next week, which focuses on Imbolc.

There are so few Pagan/witchery related paper crafts (of the classic cards, layouts, tags, etc camp) online and one of the guiding reasons behind this blog’s creation was to change that by sharing many of my own such creations and hopefully inspiring others to make and, if desired, share their own publically as well.

Many thanks again. May you have a cozy, fantastic weekend!

Hello lovely Shelia, thank you very much for visiting here me here on Witchcrafted Life. It’s fantastic to connect with you again. I have thought of you often over the years and have continued to read your blog whenever possible in the nearly three years since my previous site was retired (how time flies!!!).

You know me so well! 🙂 My love for vintage is 100% as strong as ever and I continue to wear yesteryear fashions on a regular basis. They (and vintage repro, etc) are no longer pretty much all I wear though. I’ve allowed my wardrobe to blossom into a state that better represents the diversity of my various tastes, styles, and interests. Some of which have been with me every bit as long as my passion for vintage.

For quite some time now (post-fire) I’ve been sharing (some of) my outfits on Instagram and will continue to do so there. Occasional outfit related posts or other entries with photos of myself may appear here, too, naturally, but at present, they’re not going to the focal point of this blog.

That’s so kind of you to offer. Thank you very much! I’d love to connect with you in person one day (and in my favourite city in BC to boot). We’ve certainly overdue such a meetup, don’t you think, given how long we’ve know each other online.

Likewise, if you’re ever up in the North Okanagan, please don’t hesitate to let me know. You’re always welcome at our humble abode.

Many heartfelt thanks again. Hearing from you brightened my week immensely.

Maybe we will still see some of your “Autumn” looks vs. your old “vintage” looks? You are such a creative person, I can’t imagine that you are in jeans every day!

A reminder that I’m a fellow BC-er (in Victoria) – if you are ever in my neighbourhood, if you’re ever on the Island, please drop me a line, would love to meet up or go shopping, whatever.

Really wonderful to see you, my dear! Congratulations on your newfound confidence and blossoming into a more authentic you! I am so proud of you.

Thank you very much, sweet Sanne. You’re wonderfully kind and supportive. I’m really looking forward to sharing many more projects and other types of crafting related posts here as time goes on. I’m already starting work on (early) spring related projects, to have completed and photographed in advance of when the season itself arrives and I pen their respective posts.

Really, are you so lovely. Thank you again.

🖤 Autumn

And PS: Thank you so much for your lovely message on IG, I will mail you soon.

Thank you immensely, dear Lynne. You are heart-touchingly sweet and supportive.

I first began paper crafting in the fall (naturally :D) of 2010, going through periods over the past (nearly) decade of crafting coupled with many stretches when doing so wasn’t feasible for a wide range of reasons (from my health to the fire and its aftermath, for example).

I know that I am infinitely happier, less stressed, less depressed and anxious, feel calmer, connect even more to my spiritual path, and have an all-around more positive mindset when I craft, so after an incredibly dark year last year (the first eight months of it at least), I vowed to do everything in my power to create more light in my/our world in 2020 (and beyond).

Launching this blog and ensuring, as much as I realistically can, that I papercraft again on a regular basis are two of the key ways I’m doing just that.

We are so often our own harshest critics. Goodness knows I often am with myself! I bet your paper crafting projects were marvelous.

It’s so sweet that you’re holding onto your paper crafting supplies should one of your grandkids wish to use them one day. Reading that made my heart beam.

Sooo true about Tim Holtz’s vast and very versatile product line. It’s hard to imagine the paper crafting industry at this point in time without the myriad items that very talented chap has designed and released into the world over the years – nor the countless projects they’ve helped others to bring into being.

Thank you again big time, my dear friend. I cannot overstate how happy I am to be connecting through blogging with you again.

🖤 Autumn
