Alright @monalyisha here we go!

#BasicWitchSwap

Ahhh @tdrosebud thank you soooo much for all of these incredible gifts! I‘m rearranging my TBR to get these books in ASAP 🤓. And boiling water as I type this to make a cup of tea in this gorgeous mug! I love the candles, black salt, socks and stickers! My husband is already asking when we can break into the chocolates, 🤣! It was a lot of fun shopping for you and I love everything that you got me. Thanks to our incredible hosts! #BasicWitchSwap

Second post for #BasicWitchSwap. How cute are the socks and the ZOX bracelet? And I‘ve been wanting both of these books and this tarot deck! I‘m going to be sampling the witches‘ fingers candy today, and I‘ll try out the pumpkin spice hot chocolate bomb this afternoon. Best Halloween swap ever!! Thank you, Leila for all the thought and care you put into this!! I‘m so happy!

Happy Halloween!! 🎃🦇✨

#BWS

OMG Leila!! You spoiled me rotten! I‘m so excited!! I couldn‘t fit everything in one post, so this is the first of two!! This was so much fun! I‘m going to use the candles tonight, and I‘m going to use the bookmarks today, and the stickers are amazing. I love stickers! Thank you so much!! *happy dance!!*

#BasicWitchSwap #BWS

Yay my #basicwitchswap package arrived! So excited to open this weekend 👻🖤🧡🖤🎃📚🔮

@MaleficentBookDragon @sprainedbrain @mklong

Calling all Witches! We are less than two weeks away from #BasicWitchSwap opening day! I have seen so many posts about lovely packages being mailed and received and can‘t wait to share Halloween/Samhain with all of you. @sprainedbrain and I have heard from most of you, but I‘ll tag a few folks in the comments who haven‘t posted their shipping plans yet. Please respond and let me know when you plan to ship your package.

Made it home after 2 weeks away for work was excited to see these have arrived. #hauntedhallowswap and #basicwitxhswap

I know the #hhs is from @LeahBergen and I think the #bws maybe from @BeeMagical cause when I search the hashtag, the picture of your mail out looks like the same pink tape. I will see on opening day!

@sprainedbrain @mklong
@wanderinglynn

@DebinHawaii I have to let the cat out of the bag to let you know that you will be receiving a package from an Etsy shop called Anita Apothecary today. It‘s for your #basicwitchswap. I sent it directly to you because I didn‘t think it would make it in time for me to send with everything else - the seller got it out earlier than estimated and I got a notification that it‘s out for delivery today!

The rest of your box will be on its way Monday. ✨

Here is a picture of me sending off my #BasicWitchSwap package this morning. Fly my pretties! The flying monkeys promise that they‘ll deliver it by Monday.

@sprainedbrain @monalyisha

Got my package today @Marmie7 🤗 I can't wait to open it up!!! The suspense is gonna kill me..... so excited for the end of the month! @sprainedbrain #basicwitchswap

It's here!!! Now for the wait! 🔮🧙🏼‍♀️✨
#basicwitchswap

It‘s here!! Now to hide it away for the month! So excited!!

#BasicWitchSwap 🎃🦇🍁✨

@Catsandbooks @mklong @sprainedbrain

Your #BasicWitchSwap package is on its way! USPS tracking says it should be there on Monday. Yay!!

The box isn‘t packed full. It was too bulky for medium flat rate and too small for large flat rate, so I stuffed part of the box with air packing bubbles to keep things from jostling around. :)

🎃🍁🦇✨

#basicwitchswap package mailed out today! 🧙🏼‍♀️🔮✨

My package for my match is almost ready. I had so much fun wrapping everything this morning. I‘ve got two more things to wrap, and I‘ll need to pick up a flat rate priority box from the post office, but it‘s looking good so far. I‘m excited! 🎃🦇✨

#BasicWitchSwap

5 witchy facts about me:

- I enjoy creating spells to help me be the best version of myself. I love the positive energy I feel when I do this.

- I read mostly nonfiction witchy books, although I think I would enjoy fictional ones as well.

- I love working with tarot cards and have several decks and books as well.

- I like making oil blends to help me with what I need.

- I‘m a solitary witch, possibly because I don‘t know any other witches.

I‘m almost finished shopping for my match for #BasicWitchSwap ! I‘m so excited! This has been so much fun. I still have a couple tiny things I want to add, but it‘s almost ready. Now to wait for the packages to arrive in the mail! 🎃 🦇 ✨

I‘m not sure if I put any of these treats on my #BasicWitchSwap survey or not, but these are all things I look forward to every fall. Just a few fun ideas for my match! The top two represent all things pumpkin spice & also apple cider. :)

I haven‘t started shopping for my match yet, but I‘m starting this week. I‘m excited!! 🎃 🦇 ✨

Here is my #witchaesthetic for the #basicwitchswap

Clearly anything with cats (I'm obsessed 🐱). I love pusheen. I'm a Hufflepuff. Anything cozy- tea, baked goods, sweaters, blankets, mugs. I guess I would most closely identify with a house/kitchen witch.

For more ideas I have a pinterest board with my fall aesthetic - https://pin.it/3J6YZhO

My #BasicWitchSwap #WitchAesthetic

I love herbal sachets, herbal potions, chime candles, black cats, witches‘ bells, pumpkins, dried herbs, Kiki‘s Delivery Service and Practical Magic (I can hardly wait for the newest book to come out!). All of these things make me happy!

Sorry I haven‘t posted more lately. I‘ve been sick and am going in for surgery on Wednesday. Hugs and good vibes welcome!! 💜!!

Following along and adding my #basicwitch swap photo board.

Here is post number two for #BasicWitchSwap. All of these books look amazing, and I don‘t own any of them. I‘m sure there are so many more books I‘d love to own too. If my match needs a larger pool to select from, just let me know, and I‘ll find some more. ✨🌛🌝🌜✨

Note: the Llewellyn annual books and datebook always look great to me, and I don‘t own any of the 2022 ones. :)

When I filled out the survey for #BasicWitchSwap, I didn‘t list any books I wanted, since I couldn‘t come up with any at the time. Today, I sat down and went through a pile of books and came up with seven books and one tarot deck that all look amazing, all of which I‘d be thrilled to own. Here are the first four. I hope this helps my match, whoever he/she will be. I‘ll add these to my wish list here on Litsy too.
✨🌛🌝🌜✨

My #basicwitchswap package arrived today! Thanks @tdrosebud I am so excited to open! 👻🖤📚🔮

@sprainedbrain @Meaw_catlady

@MeganAnn @sprainedbrain @Meaw_catlady
My #basicwitchswap #bsw came today. Thanks Megan! Can‘t wait for opening day.

Mailed off my #basicwitchswap box today! Magical things are heading your way @MicrobeMom and should arrive on Saturday. 🖤🔮🧙🏻‍♀️✨

Witches! We are just under 3 weeks away from Samhain, and I‘m getting so excited seeing all of the shopping, sending, and receiving emails!

Friendly reminder to please ship your package in plenty of time for it to arrive before Halloween. Don‘t forget to tag us when you send and when you receive your package.

Tagging those in comments who I haven‘t seen send and/or receive posts for... you still have plenty of time!, but I am annoying. 😂🖤

TY!

Unbelievably, my #basicwitchswap package from @AlizaApp is ALREADY HERE! Did they just toss it on a truck and drive it straight up with no processing?! 😂 I‘m not complaining except… now I have a long wait! 🎃

Actually today has been a day of good news, which is a great sign because last week was my birthday but I kept getting bad news. All birthday celebrations were postponed! Hopefully the good news continues and nothing else is canceled 😄

My #basicwitchswap package went out today! I actually don‘t think I have ever been this early for a swap, but I was excited! 📚🖤🔮☠️🧡

@sprainedbrain @Meaw_catlady

It‘s the most wonderful time of the year! See @sprainedbrain and @Meaw_catlady for more info or to sign up for the #basicwitchswap

Catching up after a busy work day & trick-or-treaters. Opened my #basicwitchswap package this morning but didn‘t have time to take pic or post. I‘m very excited about 2 new books, fun soap, the necklace, and the bat squeeze ball. The bat is adorable. I also use homemade soaps all the time, so I love the soap. Thank you, Nicole!! @PaperbackPirate @Meaw_catlady @sprainedbrain thanks for hosting! @Clwojick #scarathlon

That tote is amazing. I've already taken the mug around work to show everyone. I'll be having some of the tea this afternoon ( and maybe reading some tea leaves 😉). Thank you so much.
