Well, for my large punch bowl, I started with 2.5 gallons of Simply Lemonade - the pale yellow one. Add the Blue Curacaeu until the color is where you want it, approx 2-3 ounces. There's around 1.5 pounds of berries in there, and three medium sized sliced apples. I used both light and dark rums, and clear vodka, around 8-12 ounces of each one. Heavier on the rum as it goes with sweet drinks best. I used approx 2+ pounds of ice in the first round, and IMO it tastes better after the ice melts a little as it starts out pretty intense and sweet. But the melt dilutes the booze too, so I tend to top it up with a little more booze along the way. So in the end I probably use around 16 oz of each booze...maybe more. It's all to taste, you'll see. If you do it, PICTURES PLEASE!

Not exactly. You are eligible at 200, so the way your redemption will look on paper is this: JLisa - 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 We must have records of it written out this way so it is searchable later. It also takes away the miscounting issue of people writing out a range - from this to that - which often lends itself to miscounts. And this way it is easier to count the actual rank levels, you have six of them, times $5, so a $30 credit.

ephoebe 900 6/8/2015 A little!

Just ask for invoices during the sale and ask that all credits be redeemed.

Yay, Halo! Thank you! I love these memes so far, especially BETSY CAT!!!! Awesome find! Yup, I have 12 left to share, so keep em coming!

Our old friend the Naughty Jester posted this on facebook about Brigid's surprise fortune....

ok ok, I have an idea for the giveaway. If you want to be in the running for a Betsy's Apple goody bag, post an image or meme that is appropriate for the holiday. (If you need help posting one, let us know.) Then we'll number all the entries and Halo's kids can pick the winners out of a hat. Or if they are busy, I'll make origami toys out of them and let my cats pick them. ok?

I do not have much left of Betsy's Apple, so the bottles I will include with the PEs this month, and the trials are in goody bags along with scrub and soap samples, so how about let's do some kind of giveaway for those? I think I have a dozen left, I will count them in the morning and let you know. So, the PUNCH. ::sigh:: I made a serious miscalculation when it came to the color. I wanted it to be blue like the Nebula punch, but I added blackberries along with my blueberries, not realizing they pack a wallop in the colorant department, and they turned my punch from blue to PURPLE!!! It still tasted amazing of course, and the fruit still came across as red white and blue, but the punch itself was definitely a deep indigo. Many raves - never had anything like this! amazing! delicious! But trust me, no blackberries next time. Recipe: Lemonade and Blue Curaceau (which tastes like oranges but turns everything blue) and for the fruit colors - strawberries, apple slices, and blueberries. In fact, if you make your punch blue, just forget the blue fruit and use only strawberries and apple slices for the red and the white. That would have been the wiser choice for me. See how much prettier it looks in the virgin version below. And then of course, add the MAGIC of your choice. My choice is RUM, rum, rum and more rum, and then some vodka on top. lol Here's the virgin version...just strawberries in lemonade, with Blue Curaceau non alcoholic syrup for color and a sweet orange-y zing. Well, Brigid surprised us tonight! She did something she's not done before....usually she gives out fortune cards with long fortunes in tiny type, but tonight, she gave someone THIS! Just like in the movie, BIG! It was an old feller who got the card, maybe tomorrow he will wake up 12 years old again.

Changed her hair too! Can you see this? https://video.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t42.1790-2/13439858_1016005511809939_2004043773_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjM5NywicmxhIjo1MTIsInZlbmNvZGVfdGFnIjoic3ZlX3NkIn0%3D&rl=397&vabr=221&oh=1379836d88db88dd16610b002654478e&oe=5776E0D9

That beautiful handmade silk scarf that Brigid is wearing is one of Xev's, btw. Sedonia's Silk Creations.

We've already sent a few packages via Fed Ex and the cost is averaging around $20 per box. Just fyi. This is for a typical order of like 3 bottles.

Our July First Friday Party happens tonight, and I wanted to share... Yes, that's a cat head on the Statue of Liberty. She's yelling, PARTAY! I made a Limited Ed just for July 4th called Betsy's Apple (named after the fictional creator of our flag, lol.) - crafted of red and green apples and sweetened with cotton candy and berry sugars, with a splash of tart lemon on top and a dollop of amber in the base. It's a fresh and fun summer candy apple scent. Yummy! I made perfume, soap and scrubs out of it, and the first 100 people who come to the party will get a large sample of each in their goody bags. I made the scrubs in Red White & Blue! ($10.00) The soaps are really awesome too...glycerin soap with added shea butter and they are so CREAMY feeling. Love! ($6.50 per bar) The other big news is the debut of BRIGID - our Celtic Goddess from our masthead has come to life! Kinda. She is a full sized Gypsy Fortune Telling Machine. She speaks with an Irish accent and shares her wisdom and gives you a fortune card, all for a dollar. I am attempting a red, white and blue concoction as the Cauldron Punch of the Month tonight, I will post pix and a recipe later. Come on down if you can, it's gonna be a great night!

Well spotted, Stacy. I do too. The company I used to get the black vanilla from closed its doors and I have been able to find no replacement. And there is a worldwide shortage of cocoa at the moment. There is no absolute on the market. I have 3 suppliers that usually carry it and all are out of it. I found a new company that offered it, bought a bottle, and what they sent me was diluted at least 80%. That said, I personally really like how this years version came out. I pulled back on the cherry a bit, I thought it was too strong last year, and ramped up the mango. I've been enjoying wearing this one and Electric Heat quite a bit this year, often at the same time.

Wanted to share this announcement we received from Etsy. If the mail service is not working there right now, we can only ship via UPS or FedEx which is significantly more expensive. Please be prepared to wait out the strike or you may choose to pay for another shipping method, as we will not being using USPS for shipments to Canada during this time. This is especially significant at this time as our yearly sale will be starting in a few days. I do not want our Canadian friends to fret over it, we'll be happy to hold your packages or ship another method for you until this is all over. Best wishes for a speedy resolution! xoxoxoxo

If there are any PE reserves still pending, please complete them this week. They will be released by the end of the week, thank you!

Ok kids, you got it. I will put it up for offer at the end of the month with the PEs. Thank you!

It's not too difficult a blend, I could do that.

We burned thru all the trial sized spray bottles we had, so from this point forward, if you order a trial size or a sampler set, you will most likely get it in a 1.5 ml glass vial, like the oils as we have no more little sprayers. Just FYI.

Blackcat - the spare bottle is now yours if you want it! Let me know.

Warning....this one is selling very fast, we are getting low already. I'm thinking this one is not getting many reviews because people want to load up before they spread the word.
