Spooky Idea: No. 4 and Happy Birthday, Mom!

Spooky Idea: No. 4
This is simply the BEST smelling candle EVER! I burn it all year around--that's how much I love it. It's called Witches Brew from McCall's Country Canning Inc. The smell is an intreguing blend of clove, cinnamon and gingerroot. (Unfortunately McCall's didn't have a photo of Witches Brew so I had to use a photo of another scent. I would have taken a picture of mine but it's black from being burned so much!)


Also, if you get the chance please leave a quick birthday message for my mom. She's 80 today and we're having a big Mexican-themed bash at my house tonight. She has the energy of a 21 year old--she runs circles around me. Just a few things to know about this amazing lady--she's a professional soprano opera singer, she works out six days a week at Curves, she's an incredible example to all who know her and she takes care of my dad so lovingly. I love you, Mom! Have the best day ever!



Only one more day 'til Halloween! Yippee!

Sincerely,
Lisa

I will have to look online for that candle to try. I use Witches Brew from Yankee Candle and it is colored black and has the same type of smell that reminds me of Halloween.

Happiest of years to you, Mrs. Downs!!! I wouldn't have guessed a day over 70...really!

We love hearing about you and your family (and all of the adventures)!!! You remind me of my own very "spunky" mom.

Hope your birthday is full of love, lots of good food and laughter! :)

Happy Birthday!! I don't know where our moms get their energy? I sure seemed to have missed that gene. But i am so thankful, as i know you are too, for my mom. I only hope i can be to my kids just a fraction of what my mom has been and is to me! Shout out to all moms! Thank you God.
