When I was a small girl, I lived in Bavaria with my Oma and Opa. I often went mushroom hunting with my Opa in the beautiful thick forests...treading over the many kinds of mosses in search of the treasures. I can close my old eyes now and see the beetles and lizards we found and brought home...most of all I can remember the smell of the pine needles and fallen oak leaves. The beds of moss were so soft and felt like pillows. One day my best friend Monika and I decided we would run away and live in the woods like gypsies. I had an old goat cart that would be pulled by the pony we would take along from the neighbors pasture. We would pack it full of blankets and live off the berries and mushrooms we found. Oh I remember the dreams that little girl had...they are still alive and now I enjoy creating them in my artwork...deep down inside we are all little dreamers...and that is a good thing!

Hi! Please email me....you were picked as one of my giveaway winners and the email address attached to your account wouldn't go through.
Hi there,
Thanks to Anna’s great Practical Magic blog party website I know that you are taking part in the event. I have pondered how to participate and thought it would be neat to post anonymously people’s thoughts and/or secrets regarding the movie. Sites which inspired me are:
Post Secret
Walt Disney Confessions
Those thoughts or secrets could e.g. be “I have already watched the movie 1,000 times,” “I wish I had a sister like Gilly,” “The aunts’ house is my dream house,” “I have dreamt about Jimmy” etc. Anything which comes to your mind when you think of “Practical Magic.”
If you feel like helping me out, be sure to send me your thought/secret as soon as possible at swappinghowdies@yahoo.de. Of course, I handle each “confession” anonymously. And – please nothing x-rated!
Greetings from Germany,
Birgit
