Dear friend, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As I sit down to write to you, my mind is filled with thoughts of all the wonderful things I wish for you. Life is a journey, and sometimes we all need a little bit of magic to help us along the way. When I say "magic," I do not mean the kind that involves spells and potions, but rather a universal force that brings joy, happiness, and fulfillment into our lives. It is the kind of magic that can turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary, and can make our dreams come true. One of the first things I wish for you is the magic of love.
Do you remember that frame in the background? We made that on a Facebook live on Thursday!
Another option would be, to forgo the pumpkin completely and place your hat on a cake stand or directly on a table of shelf for a super easy Halloween centerpiece.

This super easy Halloween craft can be made in no time and displayed with the foam pumpkin with your Halloween home decor or as a witch hat centerpiece .
Have you started any Halloween decorating yet? Today I’m sharing a super easy fun idea for decorating a craft foam pumpkin! Who ever came up with these faux pumpkins is a genius! Not only are there so many things you can do with them, but I love that you will have them for years to come, instead of throwing them out each year. You could, of course, use a real pumpkin for this easy Halloween craft, since it’s really all about the witch hat.
I’m all about easy, and this halloween craft couldn’t get any easier. Allison actually did most of the work, and put it together in about 20 minutes, maybe less. Last year I saw this black and white glam pumpkin and high tailed it to Michaels to buy all the supplies…….and I never got around to making it. The nice thing about that is, when we were looking for a halloween craft, we already had everything we needed in our craft closet!
Pumpkin Witch Halloween Craft Supplies:
- Paper Mache unfinished Witch Hat
- white pumpkin (I used a foam pumpkin)
- Scissors
- Halloween wired ribbon
- craft paint (green, black, orange or purple)
- sponge brush
- Faux spiders or other embellishments
- Halloween floral picks
- BOO! rhinestone decal
- hot glue and glue gun (optional)
Directions:
1. Cover work area with a old newspaper, cloth or wax paper. Use sponge brush to paint 2 coats of paint on the unfinished witch hat. Set aside to dry about 15 minutes.
2. While hat is drying, add BOO! rhinestones to pumpkin. **I purchased this decal at Michaels last year, if you can’t find the exact one you can decorate your pumpkin however you’d like. Eyeglasses in vinyl would be super cute!
3. Measure out enough ribbon to wrap around hat and tie a bow. Using wired ribbon will allow a much prettier bow, it will give your bow more body, it’s more sturdy and really easy to work with. Tie ribbon in a bow around the had and fluff the loops.
4. Cut small pieces of Halloween floral picks and tuck into the bow. You could use hot glue here if you can’t get them to stay in place.
5. Embellish with a faux spider on the brim of the hat (if it’s not a sticker, use hot glue)
6. Place hat on pumpkin and use in a Halloween display.
Another option would be, to forgo the pumpkin completely and place your hat on a cake stand or directly on a table of shelf for a super easy Halloween centerpiece.
Either way, it would make the perfect decoration for a Halloween party or Halloween home decor on a table or fireplace mantle! If you have an enclosed porch, put the decorated pumpkin centerpiece displayed on a table as a way to welcome Halloween guests or trick-or-treaters.
So simple and fun!

Another type of magic I desire for you is the magic of dreams. May you always have dreams that inspire you and give you a sense of purpose. And may you have the courage and determination to pursue those dreams, even when the path seems uncertain or difficult. Remember, it is often in the pursuit of our dreams that we find true happiness and fulfillment. I also wish for you the magic of self-discovery. May you have the opportunity to explore who you truly are and what brings you joy. May you have the strength to follow your own path, even if it diverges from what others expect of you. Trust yourself and listen to your inner voice, for it often knows what is best for you. Lastly, I wish for you the magic of resilience. Life can be challenging, and it is inevitable that you will face obstacles and setbacks along the way. But may you have the resilience to bounce back from these challenges, and to learn and grow from them. Remember, it is often through our struggles that we become stronger and wiser. In conclusion, my dear friend, I wish for you the magic of love, dreams, self-discovery, and resilience. May these elements intertwine in your life, bringing you joy, fulfillment, and a deep sense of purpose. May you always be open to the magic that surrounds you, and may it guide you towards a life that is truly magical. With warmest regards, [Your Name].
Reviews for "Empowering Your Life with Applicable Magic"
1. Melissa - 2 stars
I really wanted to like "Applicable Magic I Desired for You as Well" because I had heard so many good things about it, but unfortunately it just didn't live up to the hype for me. I found the story to be confusing and hard to follow. It jumped back and forth between different timelines and perspectives without much explanation, which made it difficult to connect with the characters or understand their motivations. The writing style also felt disjointed and lacked a cohesive narrative flow. Overall, I was left feeling disappointed and struggled to finish the book.
2. Jake - 3 stars
While I appreciate the unique world-building and inventive magic system in "Applicable Magic I Desired for You as Well," I found the pacing to be incredibly slow. The story seemed to drag on without much happening, and I often found myself losing interest and wanting to skip ahead. Additionally, I felt that the characters were underdeveloped and lacked depth. Their actions and motivations were often unclear, making it difficult to form a connection with them. While there were some interesting ideas in the book, overall it just didn't hold my attention or leave a lasting impact.
3. Emily - 2 stars
"Applicable Magic I Desired for You as Well" had such an intriguing premise, but unfortunately it fell short for me. The plot was convoluted and hard to follow, with too many subplots and side characters that didn't seem to add much to the overall story. The writing style also felt overly descriptive and verbose, making the book feel longer than it needed to be. I found myself getting bored and losing interest as I struggled to make sense of what was happening. Overall, I was disappointed by this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
