I sent off the first article to PaganPages.org yesterday, so it should hopefully be in the next issue to come out online!! Keep your peepers open everyone!!!

This is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but I'll give it a try.

I was at an apothacary shop here in Oregon, and they had some artwork for sale. Stupid me didn't buy any when I had the chance.

They were a print of a watercolor, there was a series. I can't remember the artist's name. One image was of an old woman under a tree, in the Earth. She was part of the tree, and part of the Earth below. It was done in browns and oranges mainly.

This frustrates me, I could kick myself for not buying any of the prints. Grrr!! I should have written down her name or at least made a voice note in my phone. Argh!

Can anyone help me identify the art or artist? I know it's a long shot, but Thanks!!!

UPDATE

I still haven't found out who it is, but I did find an artist whose art is close to what was on that print at the store in Astoria. The artist's name is Willow Arlenea http://www.designsbywillow.com/ and her work is AWESOME!! I love it!! Check her out everyone!

A cousin of ours recently noticed that their daughter had 2nd degree chemical burns on her back. The doctors related it to her tagless clothing, which is made by Carter's. The doctors apparently said it was from formaldehyde, but Carter's says otherwise.

So for those of you with kids who wear tagless clothing by Carter's, or anyone for that matter, here is what I have found so far regarding the issue.

Please be safe friends!!!

Blessings!

UPDATE!  Here is another link concerning the labels, from zrecommends.com. The family member who has the daughter has called Carter's and was told it was "heat rash" and not to worry about it. Meanwhile, her "heat rash" was oozing a brownish/green liquid, and has since turned into leathery scaly scars. This will probably go away as her skin heals, but it is definitely NOT a heat rash. A doctor has already confirmed it to be a chemical burn.

Patron Goddesses Diana and Artemis,

Goddesses of the Wild.

Many blessings and thanks,

For the sustenance you provide.

Mike was lucky and nothing is going to go to waste. I know some abhor hunting, but with the way things are going with prices and all, we asked permission from Diana before he went out this morning. I don't like knowing all the details about what happened, but I do know that we are very fortunate and blessed to have Diana's approval.

I hope everyone's days are as blessed and full as ours. I need to go set up for a thanking ritual, many thanks are due today from us!!

This is fun to crank up and clean house to!!
