tdrosebud @sprainedbrain Thanks for the tag! August has been a whirlwind for me and I had this on my radar and I thank you for the reminder. I will be signing up later tonight. 2y

MoonWitch94 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you for tagging me!!! I haven‘t been on much & would have hated to miss this one! 🖤 2y

DebinHawaii Thank you for tagging me—I really love this swap but after a lot of long & hard thinking about it, I am going to sit this fall out & wait for the winter swaps.😔 The month is going to be crazy for me & I don‘t want to commit to getting a box out. I‘ll watch enviously to see what everyone does! 😍 2y

monalyisha Thanks for thinking of me, @sprainedbrain! I was on the fence about participating in Fall swaps this year and, based on the embarrassing sum I just spent at HomeGoods seeing to my own spooky needs, I think I‘ve come to the conclusion that I have to skip them this time around. But I know I‘m going to be kicking myself come the end of October! I hope everyone has so much fun! And I‘ll be back next year. 🔮🖤 (edited) 2y

BookBosomed1 Thanks for thinking of me! I‘m limiting myself on swaps this year, and I already had signed up for a Fall one. ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

Just one more post... look at all of these books! 😍

I‘m excited to read all of them, but that grimoire is beyond awesome, and I‘m already part way through the kitchen witchery book. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I need to iron it (it came a long way in a box, after all) and I‘ve ordered a frame for it, but I had to share this gorgeous cross stitch that @wanderinglynn made! 😍

I can‘t wait to hang it in my home. Thank you, Lynn!

wanderinglynn Sorry I couldn‘t frame it Jenni, but it wouldn‘t have fit in the box. 4y

wanderinglynn @Chrissyreadit I can send you the pattern if you‘d like. And to anyone who wants it. 4y

Chrissyreadit @wanderinglynn I do not know how to cross stitch, only embroider. Is it hard to learn? 4y

wanderinglynn @Chrissyreadit if you can embroider, you can cross-stitch. Cross-stitch is easy and the patterns are on a grid. 4y

Lynn!!! I am overwhelmed by all of this wonderful witchiness! You have spoiled me: Six books I‘ve been wishing for, stones, candles, lovely art work, Japanese tea and candy, a gorgeous new tarot set, this adorable moon light, stickers, and candle holder.. and best of all you MADE something for me?! I‘m in love with this cross stitch. I can‘t thank you enough for your thoughtfulness and generosity. There will be more posts, though! #BasicWitchSwap

wanderinglynn, Meaw_catlady

Meaw_catlady Magical ! Blessed Samhain sister! 🖤 4y

Prairiegirl_reading Wow! That‘s quite the package! 4y

wanderinglynn So happy you like it. I also painted the sign. It was hard to find witchy things here in Japan (or I don‘t know where to look). Blessed Samhain! 🧡 4y

sprainedbrain @wanderinglynn I love the sign too! You‘re so damn crafty! 😘 4y

Clare-Dragonfly So I saw your post and immediately looked up The Practical Witch's Almanac. It sounds amazing but I've already bought sooooo many books this year that I'm hesitant to add another (and of course the creator selling it on her website would make it sound amazing). I can't find many reviews for past almanacs. Have you looked at it yet? What do you think? @wanderinglynn Also curious why you picked this one for the swap! 4y

sprainedbrain @Clare-Dragonfly I get at least one almanac or witchy planner every year. I have flipped through it a little to see what sort of stuff is listed, and it seems to be a little basic, but looks fun. Each month has a monthly overview and then weekly calendar with lots of information, ideas, recipes, rituals, etc. I‘m using this one this year and I love it: https://m.barnesandnoble.com/w/llewellyns-2020-sabbats-almanac-suzanne-ress/1130... 4y

sprainedbrain @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m also going to use the llewellyn‘s one next year just because I like the focus on the Sabbats and pretty much everything witchy that llewellyn makes. 😉 Also, not to answer for @wanderinglynn but I‘m guessing she picked it because it was on my wishlist. 😂😂 4y

wanderinglynn @Clare-Dragonfly because it was on Jenni‘s wishlist! 😆 For swaps, I try to stick to wishlist items if possible. 4y

Clare-Dragonfly Thank you both for the answers! @wanderinglynn 4y

I have my #BasicWitchSwap package ready to go and the plan is to make it to the post office in the next couple of days to ship it. Nothing is wrapped on the inside (it is protected with bubble) because I had a bit of an issue with the wrapping paper I ordered 🙄 - could have been worse, lol.

Looked what came in the mail. @phantomx can‘t wait to open it. Just a question. Is the tape job in the pictures your tape job? We had had issues lately with boxes being cut open on the sides and retapped together and look similar.

Your box is goin out Monday. I‘m waiting for things to dry.

#basicwitchswap @sprainedbrain

cathysaid Okay I‘m gonna need a follow up post from your partner when that person receives “waiting on things to dry.” 😂😂😂 Intriguing. 4y

LibrarianRyan @cathysaid well.... I do run the #makerswap for a reason. I love to make. I just hate cleaning up the mess after. 😜 4y

phantomx @LibrarianRyan Looks like my handiwork. Check the top and bottom sides of the box to see if they're cut. I didn't expect it to arrive so fast to you! I'm kinda worried that it has been looked through or something is missing from the box. #BasicWitchSwap 4y

See All 6 Comments

phantomx @LibrarianRyan I re-checked the picture for when you recieved the box, the tape looks kinda flimsy, now I'm super worried its been opened. #BasicWitchSwap 4y

phantomx @LibrarianRyan Lastly, on the top of the box, there's supposed to be one strip of long tape covering the right side and possibly a medium strip on top (where the skull is), no tape on the left side of the box (where the hashtag is-I forgot to tape that side), and one tape that keeps the box sealed. Also, there's supposed to be a fold in the tape on the right side of the box, like a triangle. I hope this helps #BasicWitchSwap 4y

LibrarianRyan @phantomx thanks for the info. I don‘t think it‘s been tampered with we just wanted to make sure. Excited to open it soon. 4y

Hazel2019 So this link requires you to be signed into your goodie account...no way around it? 5y

sprainedbrain @Hazel2019 it was set that way to avoid duplicate signups, but I have just changed it. Try now! 5y

MrsGagnonreads2024 I hope my form got sent to you lol my laptop froze. @sprainedbrain @Meaw_catlady 5y

sprainedbrain @Endowarrior21 it did! 😃 5y

Jess861 I've been thinking of joining this swap but I know nothing about the subject matter or really witchy books in general (although I'm interested). I don't want whoever ends up with me as a match with awful selections as I'm not super familiar with the subject or these types of books....would it be a bad idea for me to join? 5y

sprainedbrain @Jess861 I don‘t think it‘s a bad idea! We have lots of people who don‘t practice and aren‘t interested in it who participate in the swap. If you haven‘t already, take a look at the signup and see the sorts of things we ask about. Since you‘re interested in witchy books, you might want to google search and find some titles that interest you. We‘d be happy to have you! 5y

Jess861 @sprainedbrain Sounds good - maybe I will join then....I'll sit on it for a couple of days and decide before the 31st 😊 5y

ferskner Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't miss the signup!
5y

Gissy Well, I'm one of those who doesn't practice witchcraft but signed for the swap! 🤗 4y

sprainedbrain @Gissy we are happy to have you! 4y

Gissy Thank you! @sprainedbrain 4y

Jess861 @sprainedbrain I have signed up. Please let me know if you don't receive it for some reason. 4y

A little behind but thought I‘d answer this.
1. Berries, vanilla, black raspberry vanilla, cherry almond, coconut, cucumber melon
2. Chocolate-snickers, Reese‘s peanut butter cups, m&ms, sixlets.
3. Cute Halloween items like witches, cats, ghosts
4. Love giving out items to kids for trick-or-treat. My sister comes over, & we sit at end of my driveway giving out small toys & some candy.
