Halloween in School Disrespectful to Real Witches?

A Washington state school district is canceling its annual Halloween celebration, and the explanation has some parents baffled.

"Let them have their 30 minutes of dressing goofy and having candy," Silas Macon, a father of two school-age girls, said Wednesday outside Maplewood Elementary School after learning that the grade-school tradition of a party and parade in costume during the last half-hour of class before Halloween night won't happen this year in the district.

A letter sent home to parents Wednesday said there will be no observance of Halloween in any of the district's schools.

"We really want to make sure we're using all of our time in the best interest of our students," Puyallup School District spokeswoman Karen Hansen said.

The superintendent made the decision for three primary reasons, Hansen said. First, Halloween parties and parades waste valuable classroom time. Second, some families can't afford costumes and the celebrations thus can create embarrassment for children.

Both of those reasons seemed sensible to the parents who spoke to ABC News affiliate KOMO-TV in Seattle. But the district's third reason left some Puyallup parents shaking their heads.

The district said Halloween celebrations and children dressed in Halloween costumes might be offensive to real witches.

"Witches with pointy noses and things like that are not respective symbols of the Wiccan religion and so we want to be respectful of that," Hansen said.

The Wiccan, or Pagan, religion is said to be growing in the United States and there are Wiccan groups in Puyallup.

On the district's list of guidelines related to holidays and celebrations is an item that reads: "Use of derogatory stereotypes is prohibited, such as the traditional image of a witch, which is offensive to members of the Wiccan religion."

"I do lots of things that are not revolving around wearing a black outfit and stirring a cauldron," Wiccan priestess Cheryl Sulyma-Masson said in an interview with ABC News in which she explained that Wiccans, or Pagan Clergy, celebrate nature.

I love Large Dolls!

I love to receive and make large dollies, the bigger the better.  My favorite holiday is Halloween so I decided to make a grim reaper type dollie and called him Mr. Midnight.

Look at that face.  AWESOME! That is all I can say about this guy. He is huge! Roughly measures 35-38 inches tall depending on if you measure his cape. Hand-painted, extreme prim hand-embroidered face, great black washed wool cloak, jute string tie with skeleton bodies of the dead collected, and handmade wire staff. Pattern by Soft in the Head.....

Here is where you can find Mr. Midnight ...he is in my  Handmade Spark Mini Site Shoppe

SO You Want to Work from Home?

You are thinking about working form home.  You are sick of your day job, your long hours, your boss.  You contemplate leaving it all to work from  home.  What you really need to know.

First, there is a great feeling of being your own boss but with that comes great responsibility.  You have to be able to adjust your lifestyle to meeting the new time schedule.  You will have to discipline yourself because it is all too easy to get distracted and not do any work.  I set myself a time schedule of hours to work per day.  I try my hardest to work that many hours a day but life does happen and sometimes I do not get in the hours I needed to.
Setting a time frame gives you some structure of how your day will roll.  You will find out you will put in more hours than a regular day job guaranteed, long hours, because not only do you have to make the items you sell, you have to sell them which involves computer time spent listing and promoting, you have to be the customer service person, the package and shipping person, etc....this all takes up time, lots of time.
There will be days you feel nothing has been accomplished.  I have days where my kids have millions of things going on and I feel like I am running to keep up.
Overall, it is the best feeling to become accomplished.  I love selling and conversing to customers online.  I love the fact I have my own hours and I can get up late and got to bed late.  But you have to be realistic here also.  Do you sell enough to work from home?  Can you afford health insurance for  you and your family? If the answer is no, then working at home may not be the best right now for you. Selling part time and still working may be best .

I thought I would share a daily schedule of mine:


 7:00 am exercise, eat, answer emails, promote
8:00 Am get dressed and awake and ready to work
8:30-12:00 work on crafts
12-1 Lunch break
1-3 answer emails, promote, package and ship
3-5 work on crafts
5-5:30 eat dinner I don't cook hubby does so I am fortunate here LOL
5:30- 10:00 pm work on crafts, go shop for supplies, etc...

This is a general schedule but it does change according to life LOL
