After a few years of friendship through social media and our shared adoration for the Wizarding World, Stacie Mistysyn and I finally had a chance to meet!
I attended Degrassi Juniour High's School's Out Screening which was an evening filled with Canadian childhood nostalgia.
Stacie was accompanied with her co star Pat Mastroianni for photo ops with fans and Q&A's. I prepared some magical goodies for her and her family which made her and I extremely happy! Thankfully, her children approved as well!
April 2021
When Stacie Mistysyn (Actress, fitness instructor and motivational speaker) asked if I would participate in your World Health Day Video and I was immediately honored and terrified!
She is probably the only person in the world that could have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and join in.
And I will always be grateful that I did.
I had no idea that I would be featured among so many wonderful people and a few Canadian legends that I grew up admiring, including Stacie, as well Pat Mastroianni (Degrassi) Gordon Deppe (Spoons/ Flock of Seagulls) and Gowan!
March 2020
During a worldwide isolation period due to the Corona virus outbreak, Splatter Palette created The #WitchcraftsandWizartry Instagram Challenge.
This challenge encouraged all ages to create something magical, inspired by the Wizarding World, using any medium. It was a way to stay motivated, creative and inspirational to others while being trapped in our burrows.
Here are the wonderful creations that were submitted!

sweet and appreciative.
He will always be The King Of Hell to me.

Also met the sweetest and incredibly multi-talented Hillywood sisters, Hilly and Hannah Hindi who are the Queens of Parody videos.

Erica Sunshine Lee discovered my Fountain Elixir necklace on line and fell in love with it! Her 7th album is about to be released and is entitled Elixir. Obviously I had to send it to her! She was kind enough to offer to promote me on all of her social media outlets with over 30K followers. Thank you Erica! You are an amazing talent and I'm so honoured to have been contacted by you.
Erica Sunshine Lee "is a Country Music Singer/Songwriter and Nashville Recording Artist who has earned the reputation of "Hardest Working Woman in Country Music” due to her uncompromising work ethic.
She is 2014 GEORGIA COUNTRY'S 'FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR'

Erica Sunshine Lee recently had over $10K of equipment jewelry and more stolen from her car. I had to do something to cheer her up so I made her a custom Elixir necklace. I'm thrilled that she likes it! She is such a beautiful and talented woman who's smile brightens up my screen.
"Just got another surprise in the mail, Dina Bielby heard about my recent misfortune getting robbed (my jewelry and equipment, cash, guitar, etc. and everything else they could take) getting stolen from my car in #Orlando and sent me this beautiful handmade necklace in honor of my new album coming out next week #ELIXIR Thank you #splatterPalette on #Etsy for being amazing!"

SPREAD THE LIGHT CHARITY
PRIZE DONATIONS
January 2016
I was contacted by the founder of AlwaysJKRowling.com. who is working with 17 other Harry Potter fan sites to help spread the light of the work J.K. Rowling's charity, Lumos is doing. Obviously, I was happy to help by donating a few things. If any of you would like to donate, either prizes or money, please contact Michaella at AlwaysJKRowling.com. Every little bit helps.
"Lumos strides to end the institutionalization of children across the world and aims to put them back into family-base care. (For more on Lumos, visit WeAreLumos.org). With our charity project, "Spread the Light" we hope to spread the word & some light on this issue but we need help. We are in need of prizes to give as incentives to donate."

These items were made especially for this cause and are not available in my shop.
Rupert Grint was exactly as I thought he would be, sweet, kind and cuddly! I told him I brought a gift for him and hoped he would get it (since his 'Handler' was a real grump). He smiled and said "Aww..Thank you so much. That's very kind of you. Thank you".
Norman Reedus made my Expo this year! I handed his gift to one of the expo people and she said she would give it to his agent but as we walked into the photo shoot, she yelled to him "This one has a gift for you!" His face lit up like a little kid on his birthday! When my daughter and I got into our places beside him he says: "Is it a subpoena?" Everyone laughs and I say "No." Then I look to the camera ready for my photo but he's still curious, asking, " What is it?". I smile and reply, "You'll see." Just as the photographer is about to snap the photo, he continues " No, seriously, what is it?" He made me laugh and that's why my pose turned out as it did! He is adorable!!!
I surprised Sam Maggs with some jewelry items inspired by her new book ' A Fan Girl's Guide to the Galaxy.' She is truly one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! Thank you for being such a postitive role model and inspration to my daughter and other fan girl's around the world! Always a pleasure Sam!

Dark Fantasy Author Tricia Skinner asked me to create some one of a kind lockets depicting her Angel Assassin Series Books, as part of a contest for her debut novel release "Angel Lover".
