    crafty BPALers
    ---------------
     
    Crafters Doc
     
     
    KittyHawk - tulle skirts by hand, Cut-off time for requests will be October 5
    Greenwoodtree- Astrological charts for a greatly reduced rate, So for a fully professional chart in full color on card stock, a personal forecast for the next 4 months (no more reading the newspapers!), and a chart interpretation, it's normally $35, but will offer it for only $12, and includes shipping. Info I need from your witchee : date & time of birth, AM or PM; city, state of birth, full name
     
    I also make old-fashioned fudge and sell it locally. Its pricey, and considering time and quality of ingredients I cant reduce price much. Usually it's $16/lb, but I will offer a $1.60 discount per lb. - ships priority mail in decorative candy box.
     
    Flavors I make:
    Pumpkin spice (my best seller)
    Dark chocolate
    Double mint chocolate fudge - 2nd best seller
    Dark chocolate cherry
    Rocky Road
    chocolate peanut butter
    ..other flavors by request, and $2 more for special ingredients. I will add ANYTHING you want to fudge
    salamandrina- photographer, will share and make prints of my images , http://calefaction.tumblr.com
    Ellebelle- photographer, I'll send prints to your witchee at my cost + shipping. Usually for an 8x10, it comes to between $7-8 dollars, depending on where I am shipping it. 5x7 are about $5. I can print up to 16x20 - and probably larger, but 16x20 is the largest I have printed. 16x20 are $25 (I have to use a different place for photographs that large - they are more expensive). I can have them mounted on foam board or just regular prints. Prints located here http://www.flickr.com/photos/lissaphoto Photos dated from 2006-2007 are a little iffy because I lost a lot of my high res images
    Saiph- willing to do commissions for witchees examples
    t3andcrumpets Use code "SWITCHWITCH11" to get a free Darkroom tart specifically made for Autumn 2011 Switch Witching. http://www.twotimingtart.com
    MeiLin- "The Big Book of Crockpot Cookery" and "I Love Garlic Recipe Book" , Two erotica stories, "Fears Moon Woman" (set in 1874 about a man about to undergo his first change into a werecritter and the out-for-revenge widow of the critter what bit him) and "The Gratification Engine" (set in my IHGK universe and involving an unwieldy but effective steampowered, er, apparatus based on a real world one from the late 19th century).
    A science fiction short, "Dalston Junction," about a pair of rather dubious "babyfarmers," women who would take unwanted infants off the hands of young women in Britain in the 19th century (based again on fact). No smut a-tall but a helluva twist at the end.
    One novel, "Lovers and Beloveds," the first book in my series. It's erotic fantasy, I guess you'd say, an epic fantasy family saga with a heavy dose of sex at least in the first book. Again, it's set somewhat 19th century-ish. I try to get out of that time period, but I just can't escape.
     
    VioletChaos -runs a Gothic clothing and lifestyle shop called BedlamBedlam at 613 East Pike Street (near the corner of Boylston) in the Capitol Hill section of Seattle WA. I posted this in the SW thread but I think it got lost in the shuffle: BedlamBedlam will give a 10% discount to anyone that mentions "Switch Witch" at time of purchase.
    Thanks!
