More Q&A~!

When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Sick right now and loving lemon-ginger tea. Also warm socks, a fuzzy blanket and some eucalyptus to inhale. What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A clean, posh hotel room with a jacuzzi tub, a lot of space and a great view of a city at night. Having access to a full spa treatment; massage, facial, manicure, pedicure. Dressing up and having dinner nearby. One day I would love to spend New Year's eve in Chicago with all of these trimmings. What do you really NOT want? I really don't like human skull/skeleton motifs. So anything halloweeny with a skeleton will probably be side-eyed. I adore deer/goat/cow skulls and bones, however. I don't know... I'm just weird. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Any atmosphere spray. I want them all! Does anyone like kimchi? Love it. LOVE! I like preserved and pickled things in general. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Those both sound really cool! You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Everything? o_O Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Guy Fawkes, The Queen is Dead, Avast, Indian Summer - All in sorbettos. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes. I kind of hate sports. :{ Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? It's great if I am forewarned. Otherwise it gets on the floor and my dogs eat it. How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I like them! I collect black cats, leopards, dragons and wolves. I'm interested in the many neat handmade things on Etsy. I don't like teddy bears at all. Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Yes! Interested in anything from Lush? Flying Fox and anything honey scented. Also love bath bombs.

IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? As friendly as I am, and as much as I love my Witch, I'd have to say no, that would freak the $@ out of me. Maybe if it was planned ahead of time.

Nia's Blog

Questions for the Halloween round, 2011

What's on your list of formerly fun activities to reclaim, witches?? Photography, writing and reading poetry, and blogging. As a Witchee, are you interested in clues to your Witch's identity? Sure. Is anyone interested in participating in the sketchbook project 2012? Not me. Would you still want the project if it was a craft fail???? Yep. Do you need any winter wear, witchee? I'm not sure. I need trousers, and fashion advice. If you or someone who's good with these things could hold my hand through the process of decluttering the closet, I'd jump up and down in happiness. I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it? Pumpkin is among the notes of doom and pumpkin is a vegetable. Pumpkin candy is like asparagus candy. Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? Yellow and brown. Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? IO don't like scary books very much. So I was at Uwajimaya the other day and saw Earl Grey Tea Chocolate and Cinnamon Chocolate. If you were my Witchee, would you be interested in trying something like that? Tea and cocoa sounds nice; earl greay and chocolate doesn't sound so nice. But the general idea of trying chocolate in unusual combinations is good. Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? I avoid Ebay! What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? I can only think of Suzanne Vega's Luka, but that would be kind of tasteless. OK- Los Planetas' La Playa. The sea and chlorine on top of her suntan lotion and a whiff of the drugs and alcohol he's been taking. Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? lavender cheesecake sounds like my type of BPAL. I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on? If there's a fair trade brand of chocolate I'm familiar with, that one. If not, own-brand Mercadona FTW. What is your favorite kind of cookie? I prefer European-style biscuits. How many boxes are you hoping for? More or less the usual... in other occasions the rule seemed to be one from an online shop, one from plotting and one reveal. It's not really important. How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? No, that's perfectly fine. How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like? I'm all covered in wall decoration, thanks. The best thing I ever ate...It's impossible to choose but I can't get the po'boy I ate three weeks ago out of my mind. Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I use as much free software as I can (Open Office, Firefox) on a Dell computer that my husband rescued after someone dropped a glass of sugary milky coffee on it (coffee, milk and sugar require different cleaning methods). When it dies it will be replaced by a macbook. At work, I use the local flavour of Linux. I'm looking forward to having a lighter laptop so that I can bring it to work. I don't do anything special with it; nearly all I do, for work or pleasure, can be done online with the exception of Paint.net. Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) Fashion and decluttering advice and support. Audiobooks: I'm interested, but I have never listened to one. All I ask for is that they are complete versions, I don't like the idea of abridged books. Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? I don't like it very much and I hate the salty varieties. Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? No, no, and no. I dance, though. Does anyone else like collector Barbies? Not me. Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. The cup I'm currently drinking tea from. It's not too big, fitting a little bit more than a glass and a little bit less than 250 ml. It's decorated with a collage design of squares, polkadots and tulips in blue and orange. The inside is white - I hate not being able to see the colour of tea. And I got it when I worked in the Aberdeen Annual Fund when I was the best caller of the night. We got little prizes like that all the time, and I wasn't a very productive caller. So it's a pretty and useful reminder of a job I was very proud of. For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I don't like things with very strong scents and in any case, I prefer candles to tarts. Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? They're pretty. Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Any Ghibli ones apart from Spirited Away, Totoro and Ponyo. Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? There are some books that you can't get me because they are not published in any language I understand. Att vara Elvis, 1977. Bara Elvis, 1979. Godispåsen, 1985. Skugg-gömman, 1988. Hjärtat som ingen ville ha, 1989. Tre trappor upp med hiss, 1991. Eget rum, 1992. Egna världar, 1994. Annas blomma, 1997. They are all by the Swedish writer Maria Gripe. They have never been published in Spanish and I'm not sure they are available in English. I could struggle to read them in French, German, or Portuguese. Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? No. Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? Considering that I rarely take baths and that I don't like their soaps, Lush can do very little to take me back to them. if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? Oh wow, yes, please. Reveal? Please. Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Tpbacco often works bad on me, but I would love a sample. Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Just by the name, probably yes. You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? Anything cute that benefits a charity or fair trade. Starter knitting materials - instructions to do something very easy, needles.... how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? no, thanks. Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? I find magazines vaguely unsatisfying. Like junk food. Describe your sense of humour. For all my life, I've been told I don't have one. Sense of humour is a zero-sum game in my family and apparently the men got all of it. I find I'm self-deprecating with the family, geeky with my husband, shocking with my students, and bubbly when I relax. I think of myself as a sombre person. Wow, that was a long answer. Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) I always do my shopping with reusable bags, but it's handy to have a new one. What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? My age (everyone assumes I'm younger). My geekiness. How alike my mother I am, if they know her. Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? I really don't like porcelain dolls and similar realistic-looking dolls unless they are babies. Uncannny valley effect, I guess. Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Not really. Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? There's nothing that I like, that is portable and non-perishable enough and that I remember right now. What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? The question "what is your favorite breakfast?". If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Orange blossom water. Fair trade chocolate. Organic cane sugar. Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? mm, yes! Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Nothing is essential. Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yay. What's your favorite classic fairytale? The original Little Mermaid. how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? an ideal to strive for. But then, I love silk, which makes me a hypocrite. What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? NOthing whose only purpose is decorating, please. Look down. What are you wearing, right now? A purple, sleeveless, hippie-looking cotton dress, of that sort of fabric that is supposed to stay wrinkled and unironed, with a sun on the front. And pink tennis shoes without laces. Kerchiefs? No thanks. It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Exactly what I'm doing now. Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? probably not. what's your favorite kind of pizza? I'm not the greatest fan. who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! The uniform project. Yes, I know. I'm boring. If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I never use them. I'd love a geeky-looking pillbox. Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? As I've said somewhere else, I have no more space for hanging things on the wall. Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! I own exactly two garments (threadless T-shirts) and no home decorations in yellow. What is your favorite word? I like words and expressions that don't translate well, like merienda or comfort food. What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? no, thanks. Do you like tarts? no tealights? yes jar candles? yes votives? yes. What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Sweet. Umami. And I really like yeasty things like blue cheese. Chutlhu: yay or nay? Nay. Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? See my 101 project. Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs: Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! No, thanks. Wow, BPAL people do have a very wide range of interests. If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? Non-itchy, please. Anything of this sort that I get will end up eventually on my hair, so if it's warm I'd like to wear it (occasionally) wrapped all around my head like some hijab styles (so it would have to be quite wide), and if it's very fine I'd wear it like a hair band. The problem is when they are somewhere in the middle. So in one word: if you're knitting, please make it wide. Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? No thanks. What's your favorite horror movie? I don't like horror. If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. Let's see. A basic, not harsh, soap-looking face cleanser. English Breakfast tea or a similar style. Good nail files. make up brushes and eyeshadow applicators. Something to feed extremely dry hair. Anything lavender-scented. Yep, that's my day. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? yay. Team Austen. Absolutely. I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? I like caligraphy. Something inspirational-but-a-bit-humorous about teaching would be nice. Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Probably. If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? Primarily, the plots. if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? Something golden and happy by Klimt. Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? At the moment I'm feeling too clumsy for that. What's 'your' song/your theme song? In My Life. What would be your superpower? To be in several places at once. Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? I don't remember a design I liked enough. Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! Hmm... no candy, no sweeteners, just fruit-nut-cereal. Do you like charm bracelets? No. Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. You make them sound lovely, so why not? Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I prefer Playmobil. Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. The Neil Gaimans on my list until I run out of the money. Are there any characters that you love or identify with? I used to say Jane Eyre. Now I think more Mary Poppins. A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? The truth is that most of the beauty I create lately is food.... I don't know, I try a new recipe, and keep experimenting with personal touches until it's more like the idea that I have in my head. Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? Please don't make me go to their website. I'm enabled enough as it is. Surprise me if you want to How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I like to use nailpolish but I'm very lazy about it. And I always end up having a dozen of aqua ones. Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I prefer lisptick and I don't like it to taste of anything. -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) No thanks. -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I like the designs and I have a few. However, their girly/babydoll tees is currently done in a cut that looks horrible on me. They are too long. If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Nailpolish and christmas cards. Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Yes, but they'd be too expensive to post, wouldn't they? Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Color. People. would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works I'm not sure. On the one hand, the surprise is fun. On the other, I'm starting to get really tired of the commodification of anything and everything. Amigurumi, yes or no? Not sure. If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? A Chinese or japanese landscape. Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Natural beeswax (you know, the honey.coloured and honey-scented ones). Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea. Darjeeling. Keemun. Flower-scented black tea. In all cases, loose leaf. Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I prefer them babydoll-style. I have a size M towards L. Anything designed or handmade by my witch has a value of its own. How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Pumpkin is a vegetable. The idea of pumpkin scented stuff is a bit like the idea of celery-scented stuff. I mean, I love to eat it but I'd rather keep it in the kitchen. Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Looks cute but I'm not a big fan of pendants. I have too many. Computers and stuff: Not a big fan of any brand. My husband (woo, I can call him husband now) likes Linux and uses Mac when he's not working. SOCK PREFERENCES? As close to 100% cotton as possible. Not very long. Black socks with a discreet touch of colour/silliness are an ideal. Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Hm. Classic BBC series, like for example adaptations of 19th century classics. Anything on my Amazon whislists. Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I would prefer Christmas or birthday cards to anything else. Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I'd like to, but it's not planned. Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I'm not a fan, but my husband is, and he has no merchandising at all; he has watched everything online. He likes the old films and the original series and he identifies a lot with the engineers. Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I love to cook. There is no "too busy or tired to order food"; if I want someone else to cook for me, I'd rather go out, and if I'm really too tired or busy to cook I'll have soup or a salad. There are cookbooks on my amazon wishlist and that can give you an idea of what I like. I'm Robin Robertson's biggest nonvegan fan. How do you feel about maple syrup? I prefer honey but it's nce to have once in a while. How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? That would fit perfectly into my little altar. Also, I have a collection of all-in-one-piece tiny Nativities. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I like the original trilogy but I'm not a huge fan. Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegetarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerky abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. I would be curious to try it, why not. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. No, thanks. Not my thing. Doctor Who? Yay or nay? I saw a bit of the old one some time in the late 80s and I'm curious. Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Last year I downloaded all Buffy and watched it in one go. I loved it. I dislike the character of Angel but I want to see that series, and buy the Buffy DVDs because it's not fair to like a series so much and not pay for it. How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? no, thanks. How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? no thanks. Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? The only Halloween related things I like are Nightmare Before Christmas and cooking with butternut squash because I prefer it to real pumpkin. I like the old classic dark fairytales. How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? never had one. Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? sure. Do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I don't like skull-shaped things, but I'm curious about real sugar skulls. Who here adores meringue? Not me. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? No, thanks. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Fudge is toffee's poor cousin. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I looooove it. Anything from the BPTP update ya'll are liking? All the glosses sound amazing but I think they are way too expensive. Does anyone like kimchi? Not interested. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure, why not? You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? All the hair glosses. All the Neil Gaiman stuff on my wishlist. And you didn't mention it – but a cartload of TALs. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I'll trust your taste. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes. I like sports that are somewhat related to dance: rhythmic gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, and synchronised swimming. But the judges are so often unfair, and the athletes are way too young and skinny in the case of gymnastics, that I've lost interest over the years. So the short answer is “not really”. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I'm a teacher. What do you think? Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!! How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? No, thanks. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? This reminds me: those round little labels are hard to find so it would be nice to have some sheets. How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Yes please. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I went to a friend's wedding in a Hoss Intropia dress that looked very 50s. Spaguetti straps, heart neckline, beige and printed with watercolor-like birdcages in many colours. Red wedges. A blue hippie crunched scarf as a shawl. Three fabric poppies on my hair instead of a fascinator. Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) No. Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? That would be lovely. Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? No, thanks. On the other hand, audiobooks would be very much appreciated as long as they're not abridged. If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? no kids. Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) I'm picky about handbags. They must close with a zip, the opening cannot be narrower than the bottom, and the strap has to be long enough to wear across the chest. I like them simple and square. Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Nothing particular. I have to say, I'm really not interedted in anything Halloween-related unless it's Nightmare before Christmas. If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? It's easier to say the things I don't like: pu-erh. Rooibos. Those “tea flowers” that come as a ball and turn into a flower when covered in water. Compressed tea is a form of pu-erh. My stomach doesn't like ginger in tea, in most brands. Anything else in the entire world will make me very very very happy, but I prefer it loose. And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? The t-shirts with women in science. Anything XKCD. What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I'd try anything with Ayswarya Rai, Sharukh Khan or Gene Kelly on it. And Michael Winterbottom. Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Just Right, and maybe twistappel. What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? BPTP in general. Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? I have too many unframed paintings. If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? Anything would be nice. I like to wear make up but rarely make the time for it. I like stuff that smells nice whatever its function. My hair is almost black and I'm paler than the average Spaniard. I have been postponing buying nice eyeshadow that is discreet enough for work, but not brown. Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) mp3 or CD are fine. I keep postponing getting anything by Adele. Are you going away for any part of this round? Yes, mid-sept to early october. Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure, it would be lovely. If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? That would be nice. Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes and yes. Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? YES. I love musicals and I tend to care more about choreography than about the songs. I love Gene Kelly, Gershwin, and Bollywood most of all, but if it's a musical I will probably like it. I was disappointed by Sweeney Todd, though. I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) Anything but shoes, socks and of course underwear is fine. Books and home decoration are sometimes better than first-hand. Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I've tried to make one but I don't have the time or the motivation right now. Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I'm not a big Disney fan and I hate anything Princessy. what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? I'm not familiar with seasonal candy. Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Both, but I use bar soap more. I like them to have a strong scent. I like Villainess as long as it's not leathery or smoky. BPAL's galahad makes some good ones. I like them fresh, mostly. My shower normally has a sweet-smelling product (now: Posh Brats chocolate showergel), a fresh-smelling product (now: Arcana vampiresomething (vampire garden?????) that smells of tomato leaf and patchouli), and something lavendery (now: nothing? Really? Excuse me while I go to the shops for a minute). How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? I think that in previous questionnaires I've said I'm a chocolate snob. I like it to be good quality, and I prefer dark to milk because that way I eat less and taste more. I like Green and Black's a lot, and I hate very greasy chocolate, like Belgian tends to be. I think that chocolate with non-cocoa vegetable fat should be banned and its inventors made to relive the eighth grade for all eternity. Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I used to sell my own handmade jewelry at University. Now I only use beads for gifts or for myself. If you sent me jewelry supplies, I would probably like them and use them. I like stones, pretty glass like Murano glass, things like that. No plastic or painted glass. Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! I don't know if there's a difference between toffee and caramel. I love both. I've never tried sea-salted caramel. Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? It sounds very nice. Just because I'm likely to combine it with a black dress, any shade of red, or green/blue, would be great. Definitely not brown. I'm not the biggest fan of “autumn colours”. This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Not now, thanks.

Sock Dreams, Villaness, Soap Box Company, Amazon Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Not especially If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! No role playing here. If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality! My mom who has passed away When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Snuggle up with the little dog and a fuzzy blanket. What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I do, to a degree. Fun and kitschy would probably best describe it. But NO SNAKES or spiders. Seriously. Snakes freak me the hell out! I would have to have the SO remove a toy snake from any package. Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not really Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: I do like those. Especially the Wolf and Polar Bear ones.

I still bite my nails. Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... In the fall I love anything patchouli or leaf scented. I love apple and pear, but nothing heavy on the cinnamon or spice.

Scarves, mittens, gloves, socks. Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Absolutely, as long as they didn’t have onions.

Bon Viviant, Snake Oil, Dorian Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? Not on Ravelry Social Media? I’m on FB but never post anything. I twitter occasionally, and try to do more during SW. I’m lucyboo21 on both. Just let me know you are from BPAL if you send me a friend request on FB and I’ll add you. I don’t have any restrictions on the twitter account, so follow me at will. Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? I used to, and I’ll work on updating it and getting a link posted in my blog. Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC What is your favorite animal? Cee Cee, the tiniest terrorist (her picture is my avatar) Other than that I love bears and collect stuffed bears of all descriptions and some bear art. What are you going to be for Halloween? Working If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) The little dog in my avatar. I’d love something with her picture painted on it. I’d be happy to provide more photos of her, just ask. How do you feel about nick-knacks? I LOVE THEM! And having said that, I probably have more than I will ever need! But, if you see something that you think is me, than I’m sure I could find a spot for it! What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? Christmas, birthdays, Do you like going to the movies? Not in a theater. I do like watching movies at home. What are your favorite restaurants? Locally a small Italian place called Bona Casa, The Tower House and Timber Ridge Steak House. I’m in a very small area where we don’t have chain restraunts. Do you play any video games? No Do you like any anime? No Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I have all the covers that I need at the moment, however if I ever get the nook that I’m lusting after, than that would need a case. how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I love jewelry! I would be a very happy witchee! How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I love recipies! Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? I most definitely need additional bottle storage!

Nay Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? When I read it, Far Side makes me chuckle Favorite Mythological Creature?: A man that likes to cook, clean and give back rubs. Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers I can always use more hair thingies. I have longish hair that I always have up or back or somehow confined. I’m not really a big flower on the head kind of a girl, though. Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? See above answer. What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? None that I can think of right off the top of my head are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? I’d love samples of any of the soaps, but I don’t know that I’d want whole bars, the burns on the other hand look amazing and I’m lusting after all of them!!! If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? Hannah the cat loves little things that she can pounce on, and any treats or catnip would be much loved by her. She isn’t picky in the least! Cee Cee the dog also isn’t picky, and to put it quite frankly, is a bit of a food whore, however, she doesn’t have any teeth, so all food must be soft. She does wear little coats, boots and sweaters in the winter, otherwise she shivers, and I try to get her seasonally appropriate collars. What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? Snow Glass Apples Geek Goth Antique Lace Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I have some things favorited in my etsy wishlist. I love the Naturallogics things I’ve tried. I’d love to try some of the Villainess muds and slick. I like blue/pink colors in make up. I am very, very pale with light brownish/red hair. This is a very specific thing I’m looking for: Archtype cosmetics has a mineral eyeshadow in a shade called Northern Lights, that is pretty much my holy grail of beauty products right now. I received a sample of it, and I must find more! Otherwise I like pinks, blues and purples, and the more sparkles the better! Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? No, ick! Hot chocolate and hot cider are yummy, though. Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) I don’t buy many cds, but I love getting mixed cds. I can listen to cds and mp3s Are you going away for any part of this round? Nope, sorry Dear Witch! You are stuck with me all round! Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? I would love it! If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? I would love to know that you thought of me while on vacation, but wouldn’t want you to feel obligated to anything. Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? Yes. Swimming Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Not on ravelry Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Always! Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Not so much Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? No. I don’t think I could even try. I’m much more complex than that. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I’m not a big drinker, but if it’s something out of the ordinary and you think I would like it, then bring it on! What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Both are yummy, with fudge having a slight advantage over brownies. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I had to look it up to find out what it was. I don’t think it would be anything that I must try. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE ALL THE THINGS!!! Seriously. I want almost everything! Especially the hair glosses and atmo sprays. Does anyone like kimchi? No! I’m not a big fan of fermented anything. I can’t imagine that it would do anything pleasant to a vegetable. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure. I’ve looked at them from time to time and they look like it would be fun. I’m a sucker for the mystery boxes and surprise boxes. You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? All of the atmo sprays! 100 bottles of Snake Oil and TKO so I never run out. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I LOVE Paintbox Soaps! I love them so much that when Tarty came out with the last update I ordered all of them. I use her Sorbetto every single day and have a bottle of slip in my purse at all times. Anything from her shop would be much loved and appreciated, but possibly not needed right at the moment. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I follow NFL (GB Packers) and College Football (WI Badgers) and NASCAR pretty closely, but I don’t need anything themed. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I always love them, and buy them, and then get them home and realize I have no use for them at all. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I love it! Unless it is in a card or package and results in my having to get the vacuum out. I love glitter in make up! Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have not. I keep meaning to get her books, and then other things grab my attention. I suffer from SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome). How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I love stuffed animals. I collect bears, either ones that are more natural looking or dressed up in cute clothes. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? I could definitely put those to use. How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I can always use more kitchen accessories, towels, pot holders and the like. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Discounting several weddings in which I was an attendant, and the bride forced us to dress in hideous satin creations with large bows and puffy skirts, I don’t believe I have attended a formal dress occasion since 1988 when I went to HS prom, and I am hoping to keep it that way. Normal party or dress up for me would be a black skirt and a nice blouse or sweater. Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) No. When I see them, it’s like a compulsion and I must work them, but they make me a little bit crazy. Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I don’t drink coffee or tea, but I have been thinking that I need to get an insulated mug for work for hot chocolate. Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Sure. Kindle If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? Only have the 4 legged kids at my house. Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Absolutely! Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I have quite a few examples of styles that I like on my Etsy favorites list. If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? Sorry, but I am not a tea drinker I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I love thrift, but please no used shoes or undies. Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I’m just a buyer on Etsy, not a seller. Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I would love it, and keep it on my fridge forever and ever! what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Caramel apple candy corn and marshmallow pumpkins. Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like scrubby soaps like Paintbox Soapwork’s Sorbetto. I like highly scented and the scrubbier the better. How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? YES! Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I would love to start doing some jewlery making with beads. Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Sea Salt caramels are the best thing ever! Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Love scarves (the bigger the better), and a hand painted/dyed on would be amazing. I like all sorts of different styles, see my etsy favorites for examples, and the only thing that I wouldn’t like would be something with skulls or made from scratchy wool. This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Sure And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I always forget about them, but they do have quite a bit of fun stuff. Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I don’t know what it is.

here is a little inspiration if you need/want it http://pinterest.com/angelatarantula/ Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? can anyone some themselves up in 10 words? perhaps only those who really know themselves and exactly what they want out of life as for me. i dunno but in a perfect word i would say i want to: roam this world with a true love and be happy! How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? hahaha! booze is always good! i dunno something exotic from somewhere exotic that tastes good What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) no thanks on a special diet Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? uh wha is that? just looked it up and it's food so i will have to pass Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE like most everyone else i am devestated that i missed out on CRYPT KING and besides that there wasn't anything else i wanted from the bptp update. however the bpal update looks effin amazing and i am most excited to try HALLOWEEN LAS VEGAS it sounds so divine. i wanted to try most of the things from the bpal update so i signed up for a sniffie circle and that way i will know what bottles i have to buy. Does anyone like kimchi? only had one kind out of a jar and it was gross. so i don't think i will end up trying any more. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? i think it is a cool idea but i only use all natural and/or organic b&b products. so i have to say no. You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits.

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? i already have a drawer full of tea that needs to be drunk so i stopped buying it September 11th I am fond of the thrift.

Do you have an Etsy shop?

Alethia's Switch Witch Help!

September 13/14 Ketchup!

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I do drink tea on occasion, and I stick mostly to black and chais in tea bags. I don’t even know what a compressed tea is, and would have no clue as to how to brew loose tea. Would you be interested in a felted handbag? No thank you. I only have one handbag at a time, and I’m obsessive about it. It’s one of those things that I have to pick myself and in person. Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I would love that! I prefer coffee mugs above all else and love mugs with funny pictures/sayings on them. How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I can always use more kitchen towels! I run through them like crazy. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I wore a ruby red halter style satin dress with a deep v. The halter was rhinestone encrusted (not as gaudy as it sounds, I promise!) and the front was cut higher than in the back so that it showed my mid-calves and then tapered lower in the back. I’m terrible at describing clothing! Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I do, but I rarely have time for them. Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Smart, serious, dedicated, driven, type A. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I don’t drink alcohol, so no thank you. What are your views on fudge and brownies? YES. All the time. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I’ve never had it, but I’d love to try it! Anything from the BPTP update y'all are liking? Oh good lord. All of the hair glosses except Snake Oil, the Orchards of Hell atmo spray, the Streuobstwiese soap, and the Spun Sugar Spectre bath oil. Does anyone like kimchi? No thank you Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Very much so, particularly those of the makeup persuasion. You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? From the Lab: Two back up bottles of Josie, 5 ml bottles of Countess Willie, Emma, Lulu, Harlot, Pepper, The East, Victoria, and imps of Baobhan Sith, Bastet, Eve, Fae, Hetairae, Kurukulla, Leanan Sidhe, Les Bijoux, Lyonesse, Machu Picchu, Maenad, Morocco, Queen of Sheba, Salome, Scherezade, The Dormouse, and Xiuhtelcuhtli. From the Trading Post: all of the hair glosses except Snake Oil, the Orchards of Hell atmo spray, the Streuobstwiese soap, Spun Sugar Spectre and Fruit Bat Fruit Bath oils, Gertrude Dix’s atmo spray, Invidia bath oil, and a Carnaval Diabolique scent locket. This list makes me look like a greedy wench Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? No thank you. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes. The Pittsburgh Penguins are my team! I love hockey with a passion, and Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are my favorites How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? Notebooks and journals, not so much, but I am desperately in need of nice stationary. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Oh none for me please. My kitties eat it! How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I love stuffed animals! I’m quite fond of the microbe plushies from Think Geek, particularly the common cold one and the herpes one (only because he’s smiling and yellow!) I also love stuffed monkeys, frogs, and hippos. When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? My big plushy red comforter, a fast internet connection to browse the Lab and the forum, and a food that I normally don’t allow myself to eat (fudge, pizza, basically anything that’s not a slab of meat or veggies because those make up the vast majority of my diet). What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A whole day all to myself with no demands from anyone or work. A day where I can sleep in if I want or get up at 5 to lift without constantly watching the clock. Being able to ask myself what I *want* to do rather than what I *have* to do.

cuervosueno's blog

I'd be open to anything, but can't think of anything off hand. If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Those look delish and there were lots of option. Lavender, chile peppers, sea salt, caramel, dried fruit (but not all together! ) Is there anything you’re wanting from LPMP?

I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? probably not what’s your favorite kind of pizza? I am team I eat all pizza! I love pizza, but I think my fave is white pizza with pesto and with ricotta or goat cheese and, mmmm....proscuitto would be good on it too! September 22nd If you’re interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I can't think of a cover I need for anything, but I can say I could use a lunch bag....just like a regular paper sack type lunch bag, except not made of paper! Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? That might be really cool. What is your favorite word? What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I like them! And I like fingerless gloves too. I would like ones that came up to elbow length. colors--black, grey, burgandy, purple, green. Texture?

Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you’re getting. I may. I'm interested in a couple of things. I may just get candied pumpkin and autumn cider, but I'm waiting for reviews. Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? No! How do you feel about terrariums? Yay! What’s your favorite horror movie? I don't watch many, but I do like creepy atmospheric, and do not like any gore, zombi movies aside. I LOVE zombie movies! If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I’m talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. ginger tea! Esp. that kind that is sugar or honey crystals with ginger. Anything ginger flavored, in fact! Coffee, of course too. I don't have too many other products i use regularly. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? nay. I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? yes! I like art deco, and art nouveau, and also 40's pin up girl type stuff. If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? I have one, and have decided Im not that into them. Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? Yes! The plant dye thing would be way cool, and I saw a kit for felting once that looked way cool too! soap would be awesome too! What would be your superpower? To be able to shape shift. Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? yes! Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say “Sure, I’d love some!” what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO’s and DON’Ts! Oh, I love trail mix and eat a ton of it. I like nuts in it (cashews, pecans, macadamia nuts, almonds, and light on peanuts) and dried fruit (any kind but no raisins) and candy....YUM! Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? no There was a question I forgot to answer which was about things you keep meaning to get but don't, so here it is now: there are some small household things I keep meaning to get. They are a microfile grater type thingie (for grating nutmeg in particular, but also hard cheeses); a really GOOD potholder (I keep burning my hands on the cheap ones I have); some good lint free dishtowels.; a lunch bag and/or a bento box type thingie for taking a lunch. September 19th How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I love nail polish, but don't know what franken polish is? I'm ok with chemicals. I like the idea of glitter but it never quite looks right. I like reds (cool reds with blue undertones), purple, black, gold, bronze, cool oranges, browns, etc. Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I have some allergies to certain ingredients in lip balms so it's best for me just to stick with the brand I use. Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) Pens! I always need pens. Fountain pens would be cool, but just cool roller ball pens or sharpies would be cool too. Art supplies are awesome! -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) Not a watercolorist, though I do like acrylics. -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I would love to try copic markers. I love watercolor pencils. I like acrylics. I can use art supplies for jewelry making, for painting and paper crafting, and for fabric dyeing. I don't draw though, and have enough sketchbooks (since I pretty much suck at drawing). -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I got a couple recently and find their sizing odd. The XXL in ladies was a bit tighter than I expected. If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Nail polish, padded envelopes and candy! Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? yes! Pickled veggies, fresh canned fruit, or jam! Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? black and white. either probably either nature or abstract or people. Nature might be better in color. would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Is it like a sample box for stationary/pens? It might be fun, but there are probably sample boxes more suited to me. I don't really need that much stationary/notebooks. Amigurumi, yes or no? What is it? I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I like Franz Marc a lot. And some others, which are probably linked in older sw posts. If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Name your 3 favorite scents for candles: Much like my taste in perfume: resins (frankincense!) or woods (sandalwood!) but also pumpkin or cake.

Animals (foxes, ravens, owls) or symbols I like or Tarot cards, or something like that. I wear a xxl in girly tees (baby dolls with v neck or scoop neck) and those are my favorite styles. I probably can wear a med. or large in men's depending on how big it is. I'm not as crazy about regular crew necks because I find the neck too constricting, but can wear them. I love SOFT tees! Esp. organic cotton! How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... YES!

Macbook, not extras. I wold take Apple related stuff. SOCK PREFERENCES? Witch o'mine. I am starting massage school. Our school has a no shoes policy.

Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? I can't see that link. In general, though, I like socks. Natural fibers or at least mostly natural fibers, though, please. I would like socks in these colors: brown, grey, green, purple, red, blue, black or some combo thereof!

New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Love it! How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Love them! And if they're real saint ones, I'd like St. Anthony or St. Lazarus, or St. Martin de Porres. Most of them aren't of the actual saints, though, and I'm fine with that. A fun, nonspiritual one would be cool too. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? It woas ok, but I'm not a huge fan. Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I like it ok, but am not crazy about it. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I wouldn't be opening them at work so anything is ok! Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) no Anyone love Buffy/Angel? no In general, I don't watch TV, except for a couple of HBO series, like the Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones.

September 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? not really, but I supposed i might say this: life is short; be kind. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Probably not. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Yes! Brownies more than fudge. It shouldn't be that warm in NM by the time we get underway. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? It's ok. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE see wishlist Does anyone like kimchi? Yep! Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? yes!

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I'm not crazy about the soaps as I find gylcerin soaps too drying. I might be interested in trying a slip or a scrub though. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Nope. I find sports generally loathsome, though I do like boxing ok. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I like them, but I actually generally keep a journal on my computer. Smallish notebooks can be useful for note taking though. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I like it. Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? probably not How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? Some are cute, and a fox or raven thing might be fun, but I'm not into them in general. September 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Probably not. Some useful kitchen towels (like no lint type) might be ok, but I prefer my kitchen stuff to be sturdy and practical. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I wore a black and white print sleeveless dress. My style is mostly casual/hippie/boho and doesn't get much fancier. Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) no Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Yes! Though I have a lot of coffee mugs, another really cool one would be ok. I like thick, heavy coffee mugs. What I'd really like is some cups for tea, but what I like are smaller pottery type cups, kind of like these. I like a handle but it is not necessary. Also infusers wouldn't be bad either. I like the kind that sit in the cup. My last one broke. September 12th Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? YES! Kindle! Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) yes!

I like loose tea, but since I'll be on the go a lot this fall, tea bags are fine too (I prefer if they don't have strings/staples so they can be composted, but you know it's not that important if the tea is good). I like flavored black tea and green tea, and even more, herbal teas and rooibois. September 11th I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I like thrift and "upcycled" stuff, and don't have any problems with thrift stuff, clothing or otherwise. Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? No, I don't have one. Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I'd be happy to get a postcard from anywhere, including disneyland, though I'm not into disney stuff per se. what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? reese peanut butter cups. Also, smarties and sweet tarts. Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like bar soap, cold process. I like soft soap like cream soap. Shower gel is fine too as it will be used as bubble bath. and I bubble bath! Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? yep. Bigger should be glass and shiny for use in sun catchers and things like that. Smaller can be used for jewelry. Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Send them all to me!!!!

SW questions continued

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Those are really cute but I would really only use something that was messenger bag-type, as it needs to be at least somewhat practical for me. Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I like busy, ornate wallpapery patterns. Floral, filligreed. Lately I like stuff that depicts chickens. Audobon birds. Horses. I try to avoid vague bird imagery as it's overdone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo) Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I do have a nice tea cup that girasol got me but another wouldn't hurt! If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? Loose tea is prefered. Black teas. How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I love pretty household objects, however I have to be actually able to USE it. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? This is, like, never. So I don't even know how to answer. Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Not really. Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I should be writing. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Any kind! What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) It should cool down here pretty soon. Fudge isn't my favorite, but maybe I've just had bad experiences with the box stuff. Brownies are yummy. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I've never had this but I love trying new things. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE. Samhain soap. Honey Pumpkin Stout Soap. Harvest Festival Atmosphere spray! White tea and sage hair gloss! Does anyone like kimchi? I don't know, would try it. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Yes! You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Well if there was literally no limit what's to stop me from buying everything? I'd get many soaps, lots of back up bottles. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I've answered this! Love them. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes. No sports! How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? Love all that stuff. Probably don't NEED anymore journal/notebooks but also can't resist sometimes. I love Moleskins but don't need one right now. Stationary of all sorts is great. Cute stickers, note cards, whatever. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Angry! Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have received her cookbooks as she witched me in the spring round Her fiction isn't really my thing though! How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I don't really care for these things, but if Witch is crafty and wants to make me a one of a kind thing, or something for my daughter, that's great and a different thing! General non-special plushies are clutter. I like octopi, owls, kitties, bunnies, deer, dinos, foxes. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Yes please!

9th September Questions

If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! I briefly RPd a character called Arabella, a sketch of whom is on my profile, but that was for the Maelstrom system which is winding down this year, so no one current. If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality! Are you offering me a trip in the TARDIS? OK, historical reality: I'd like to observe the building of Stonehenge and see how it was done. Spiritual reality: the Goddess Rhiannon. Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Why yes, speaking of Rhiannon. I honour the 'Welsh' (Britannic) deities and so my 'sacred text' is the Mabinogion. I have a couple of different translations of it. When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Beer. What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I enjoy comics but the world of comics is slightly daunting. I've read and enjoyed the Sandman series, some of the Books of Magic, Gloom Cookie (need the final volume!), Strangers in Paradise, and I loved Watchmen. V for Vendetta was ok but I preferred the film. I would be thrilled to read more by Allan Moore. Oh, and I follow the Buffy graphic novels that continue on after the end of the series - I've just read 1 and 2. Trying to track down 3. Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I've played the violin for almost two years but I'm still very much an amateur. Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I'd like to garden but this is something best left until I live at a permanent address. I keep a few potted plants - mint, bougainvillea, orchid, ferns, and a mystery tropical plant. Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I don't decorate for Halloween but if I get decorations I will surely put them up! I like seasonal things like autumn leaves and things that remind me of the ancestors, like skulls and apples. Actually anything goes provided it's not too countrified-cutesy. Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? I have the brimstone symbol tattooed on my chest. I dig spirals, the Druids' sigil, ogham symbols, and the Goddess triple moon symbol. Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc? Yes. I like Oxfam and also Adopt-a-(insert awesome animal here). I've 'adopted' tigers and wolves before with the latter.

Sky and Sea

Switch Witch Questions.

September 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Hopeless romantic nerdy stealth-pagan with a wicked sense of humor. (Stealth-pagan counts as one word, dammit.) How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Oooooooh. Sure! I like rum, vodka and tequila mostly, but also like various liqueurs and stuff. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I like them just fine, but do not have a burning desire to have any currently. We make brownies and cake and stuff fairly regularly at my house. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? What is mochi...? Oh. Hmm. I don't know, never had it. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE. Nothing I need. Does anyone like kimchi? Not sure I've ever had any, truthfully. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure, it would be interesting. Especially if there's eyeshadows involved. You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? From The Lab: Bottles of Maiden, Suspiro, Ghosts In Love, Le Revenant, Titania, Jailbait, and October. From the Trading Post: Atmosphere sprays in Cathouse, Alchemical Laboratory, Exotic Bazaar, Fae Forest, and the Orchards of Hell. Bath oils in Morocco and Castitas. Hair gloss in Honey. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I've never tried any Paintbox products. But I would totally try some! I like the looks of: Gingermilk, The Olive Tree, The Man In The Moon, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, Sweet Cheeks, Indian Summer and The Queen is Dead (I am uncertain about the leather/smoke notes, but it sounds intriguing!). Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? YES. I am a HUGE hockey fan, and I follow the Carolina Hurricanes relentlessly. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I love them. Especially stationary. I hoard it. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I teach arts and crafts during the summer. I hate it AND I am helpless to resist it. Gimme! Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have not read any of MeiLin's stuff, though I'm familiar. I'd give it a go. How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I LOVE THEM. Any animal, except for...things with too many legs. No. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? I'm good, thank you though. September 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Sure, why not. Roosters? How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? My best friend's wedding. I had this knee-length black chiffon skirt with an ivory embroidered detailing, an ivory sweater with pearl buttons (it was in December), strappy black heels, pearls, classic makeup (red lip, smoky eye), curled hair. It was kind of epic. Oh! I just remembered! More recently was Laurel the Woodfairy's wedding. I wore a brown/ivory/coral floral print dress (flutter sleeves, mid-calf-length, wrap bodice) with pearls, brown leather sandals, and soft gold-brown eyes and a coral lip. September 12th Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Yesss. Epubs preferable. If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? I do not have any spawn. But I work with kids, and fairytale books, storybooks, etc...yeah, I will not turn those down. Oh, how I miss camp. Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you?http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Um, yes. I like... #3. I like the detailing especially. #5. But I'd want brighter colors or else black. #6. OMG LOVE. I love the stripes and the COLORS. #7. It is crazy and possibly frightening and my cats will think it is an animal that needs to be attacked and I WANT IT. #8. I think I'm attracted to the stars in this one. PRETTY. #10. I like messenger bags, I like purses with long straps. My current bag is this purpley striped cross-body thing with llamas on it that I got at this Hispanic cultural festival in Philadelphia. #11. Cute! #15. I like the long straps. Clearly I have a lot of feelings about these bags. Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Hearts, celestial things, swirls, that kind of filigree look with the curls and stuff, birds, feathers, watercolor designs...if that makes sense? I like a lot of abstract designs. Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I tend to hoard coffee mugs, especially if they're really pretty or have quotes or something. My FAVORITE mug is this cheap travel mug I got at Walmart, because you can change out the internal liner so there are infinite possibilities for the design. If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I like any kind of tea. I do not like cherry flavoring so much, or blueberry (in teas at least), but I will try anything, especially floral teas. Black tea with rose? Mmmm. September 11th I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I am a poor college student. I do not mind the thrift. Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I do, but I do not currently have anything for sale. Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? “OMG I GOT MAIL MOM I GOT MAAAAAAIL SOMEONE LOVES ME! IT'S MAIL WITHOUT WIIIIINDOWS! MAAAAAAIL! OMG IT'S FROM DISNEY YAY OMG I LOVE DISNEY!” -a reenactment of what actually happens every single time. what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Caramel bullseyes, lemon things, those strawberry candies, wee little fun-sized packages of anything. I do not care for licorice (but I do like Twizzlers). Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. These days, soap. Wylde Ivy is where it's at for me. I just bought bars of her African Vanilla Bean, Sweet Oat and Nectar soaps. I like soaps that are either warm and sweet and rich or soft florals, because I want them to compliment whatever perfume I'm wearing. How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? If it's chocolate, I will eat it. I like sexy chocolate, like chocolate with spices or lemon or other unusual flavors. Nuts are good, caramel is amazing. I mean, chocolate is chocolate, dude. Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I am not allowed to go down that aisle unsupervised in Michaels anymore. I tend to buy things. Oh, beads. Why are you so shiny. (I like beads, yes. Gemstones especially.) Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Want. Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Suuure! I don't care about designs, but I like bright colors, black and silver together. I tend to gravitate toward blues/greens/purple, but I love reds and oranges too. Fabrics: whatever feels pretty. This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Yes. And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? Oh my god. ALL THE THINGS. http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/gimme.cgi?wid=81ede61e7 Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I don't have a ton of stuff on there now, but I go on a pinfrenzy every couple of days or so. http://pinterest.com/cielamara/domesticity/ September 10th What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Catherynne M. Valente. are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? I haven't looked! I will go look. Discord sounds pretty. If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? Sure! I got some crocheted catnip mousies in a swap last year and my cats LOVED them. What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? I am on the hunt for the perfect creamy/milky/honey smell. I keep finding new and exciting ones. In terms of rares? Someone frimped me a decant of Frost Moon and it was the most beautiful thing ever. I want it so. Also, the old Chaste Moon. I hoard what I've got and I weep a little when I put some on. Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? Josephine Wall. I love her artwork. But the plaster that makes the walls in my house doesn't hold things very well. If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I like shimmery eyeshadows, peachy-coral blushes, and am on an eternal quest for the perfect lip stain. There are Stila lipstains I'm dying to try. Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Sweet, sweet nectar of life. I like any and all coffees and teas. We have a Keurig here, so if you have any interesting k-cups (my favorite is that magical island coconut stuff, my god that stuff is like crack to me) I would love to try them. We do also have a traditional coffeemaker. And teabags, loose tea, whatever. I will drink the hell out of it. Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) I want...Armin van Buuren's “Mirage” album because it's awesome. I only have one of Vienna Teng's albums (Warm Strangers) but I want the others, desperately. Mp3s work best. Otherwise I am currently satiated on known musical wants, but I love, love, love new music. Are you going away for any part of this round? Nope. Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure! Just please tell me what the songs/artists are so if I get really obsessed with something I can go hunt down more like it. Y'all just don't even understand how I get about music. If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? I don't think I'd be all “YOU WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T BRING ME ANYTHING BACK?! Y U NO LOVE MEEEEEE?” but if I got one I'd be all “OMG YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!” because, well, I just get excited like that. Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I would live at summer camp if I could, does that answer any questions about my love of the outdoors? As far as exercise...I love to swim and I like tennis/pingpong/badminton. Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? That would require me to actually be good at knitting. Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? My bed is my desk, but ohhhh, lawdy, do I have an office supply fetish. If I weren't living at home and in a room too small for a desk, my desk would be epic. I settle for just collecting and hoarding colored pens. I legitimately use them, too! LOOK: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gqaoKPPbluQwCbtN9ocxMg?feat=directlink Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? OMG YES. SO MANY. Um...my top three are...The Secret Garden, Miss Saigon, and probably Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I have been to productions of all of three. SO AMAZING. September 9th Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I don't usually burn incense because so much of it doesn't actually smell perfumed, it just smells like smoke. If there were incense that smelled like something delicious, I would be down. As for kinds, doesn't matter. - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Ish. I'm a little over Harry Potter, but I'm a Ravenclaw. - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? B&N, probably. Wylde Ivy, or Bathed & Infused. Lush. Yankee Candle. Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Well, I'm a devotee of Freyja, so Norse mythos is pretty important to me. Fairytales, however...the Snow Queen is my favorite of all time, along with the Wild Swans and the Steadfast Tin Soldier. If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! I have before, but I'm not currently gaming with anyone. But I would love art of the Snow Maiden, or the Snow Queen, or anything like that! If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality! I struggle with really broad questions like this. Ummm. Neptune from space. Sarah Brightman in concert. Canova's Cupid e Psyche. Istanbul. Byzantium. When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? I tend to wallow in the bath and then lock myself in my room with music and a book. What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like some webcomics. Questionable Content, xkcd, Narbonic, which is now ended. I have the first two volumes of Narbonic, but not the rest. I'm not really into actual comics-comics that much, but there are a few I've considered reading. Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I sing and have for years! I am a soprano and the one who usually gets picked to sing the really crazy high descants when they occur. I play a tiny bit of piano and I would really like to learn to play the violin. Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? Yesss! I love to garden! I don't get to grow much because I'm not home during the summers, but I love herbs (especially fragrant/medicinal/culinary ones) and LILIES. I love to grow things from seed in particular. Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Not really. I do burn some candles for the Samhain aspect of it. I think I probably would if the other people in my house got into it, but they don't. I do love harvest-themed decor though. Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Birds--geese and falcons. Cats. Runes. My astrological glyphs—Gemini for my sun, Cancer for my moon and ascendant. Fir trees. Lily of the valley. Treble clefs. Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: Sure! I'm pretty interested in conservation efforts. September 8th From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? I've requested decants of Ghosts in Love and Le Revenant. I am especially excited about Ghosts In Love. Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I like nail polish, but my nails often go unpainted because I work with my hands so much. I think if I had a better manicure kit I'd keep them painted more. I like shimmery, iridescent colors best. Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? There's a constantly revolving door in my mind for song lyrics and stuff, but there are two poems that really just bring me to my knees. “Fairytales” by Shu Ting and “Camomile Tea” by Katherine Mansfield. The former has a pair of couplets that I actually used for my calligraphy project (aww, yeah!) in graphic design in high school: The heart may be tiny But the world's enormous. And The world may be tiny But the heart's enormous. Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... I am indifferent to color. For types of candles, it depends—am I simply burning it or is it going on my altar? If it's going on my altar, I want a pillar. Otherwise, jar. Now, as for scents, I like things like... Any of the Yankee Candle foresty blends. The snowy pine smell brings me to my knees. Harvesty blends...not the foody things, but like, apple smells, pomegranate, leafy smells. Lemon-lavender. LILAC. And lily of the valley. Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Oh, my, yes. I would LOVE a hat/scarf combo in like, a white/icy-blue/silver combo, because my coat is a winter white and it looks MEGA-cute on me. Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sure, why not? What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? I don't believe there are any. Maiden, perhaps, but I've just not yet gotten around to getting a bottle of that. Or Titania. I'd cry if there was no Titania. Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I think I have a Ravelry account...if so, it's cielamara. Social Media? FB, LJ, Dreamwidth, Twitter. Cielamara on all. Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Thinkgeek up there. Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC. What is your favorite animal? Birds, cats. What are you going to be for Halloween? A novelist. NaNoWriMo starts at midnight. If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) Snow fairies. How do you feel about nick-knacks? I am a magpie. I can't help myself. What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? The ones foremost in my mind are camp traditions. Arch songs, serenade...the keeping of ashes from campfires, the songs we sing. Also, my spiritual traditions—a ritual every Friday night (Friday = Freyja's day). Do you like going to the movies? Sure. What are your favorite restaurants? Chain restaurants: Red Lobster, On The Border, Macaroni Grill, Carrabas. Do you play any video games? Not really. I do love the Sims, but my other computer is currently borked and I can't play. Do you like any anime? Not really, but I did let one of my friends show me this one anime before I left PA that I liked. Breakblade? Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I have a Nook! The original. I like my current cover, but I wouldn't turn down another. how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I would be ecstatic. How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I love recipes! I would like more sneaky vegetarian recipes. My parents are more likely to let me cook vegetarian if the lack of meat isn't obvious. Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? Actually, yes. If I buy any more bottles at all I won't be able to fit them all in the box they're in. I have like...between 20 and 40 bottles, I don't know the exact count. I'd probably just keep the bottles and a handful of imps. Muppets: yea or nay? Indifferent. Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Nah. I do like Archie comics, though. Favorite Mythological Creature?: Selkies. Do you like hair things: barrettes, headbands, flowers? Yes. But I have a lot of hair and it is aggressive, so they need to be fairly sturdy. I like sparkly or unusual hair things, and I really love big, ridiculous bows. Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? I don't know. I'd have to see one to find out.

Nope. lol How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Yes please. Almost anything is fine by me. But please no flavored vodka. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Yes yes a thousand times yes. I love fudge and brownies. I especially like them with nuts. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Yummy. I really like the kind with sesame seeds. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Crypt King I'd really like to try one of the Hair Glosses and any of the bath oils. Does anyone like kimchi? Yes indeedy. So freaking tasty! Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Why not. You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I've never tried any. So I would be interested in anything. I am however particularly interested in The Queen is Dead, The Englishman, and Gingermilk. But really they all sound fabulous. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? Oh lookie, it's my question! So sports I love and follow obsessively are hockey and soccer. My favorite hockey teams are the Montreal Canadiens and the Washington Capitols. For soccer teams I love DC United and Sheffield United. I also enjoy rugby and celtic football. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I adore stationery and journals and could always use more. This is the one area where I really like cutsey stuff. Sanrio, fairies are some of my favorite themes. But I also love dark,creepy stationery or plain elegant stationery. As I've mentioned previously, I adore post it notes. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? confetti/glitter is okay if it's in something like nail polish or glued to a card/notebook, but please no loose glitter. Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? As this is my first switch witch I have not received any of MeiLin's goodies, but I would certainly like to! How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I like them a lot, but I'm not sure I need anymore plushies.

Maybe just for my top ten or something. When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? When I'm sick I like to curl up under my blanket that my Auntie got in Arizona in the 1950s. I like a big bowl of broth and tons of tea and water. I'll park myself on the couch and watch aimless cartoons for hours. If I am really, really sick nothing is better than having my Dad around to read to me is the best. What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A trip around the world on a sailboat, drinking fine wines, eating fabulous food, and studying sunsets. What do you really NOT want? Products tested on animals

SW Fall 2011 questions from 9/13

September 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? If they're usable (that is, not JUST decorative) then yes, I'm very interested! One can never have enough kitchen towels and I don't think that just because something's going to get used means that it shouldn't be pretty as well... How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? For a friend's wedding, I wore this dress in navy blue with these tights in Peacock and this necklace and some metallic gold/silver flats. This is possibly the closest to fashionable I have ever been in my life. Alas, I will never be able to recreate it precisely; the dress was irreparably stained by my son rubbing melted chocolate into it. (Amazingly, his suit? Laundered with no problems.) Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I love crosswords, particularly the NY Times daily (especially Sundays, though I rarely have the time to do them anymore) and the WSJ's Sunday puzzle. Sudoku bores me... I'm a computer programmer by nature (though it's not what I'm doing for work right now) so I can't help but solve the same way I'd write a program to solve it... which is very repetitive and boring. And jigsaws just lead to disaster in my house. Other than that, I'm open to new puzzles! Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? For better/worse, not as young as I used to be. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Can't right now, alas. The fetus does not do liquor. One of my favorite SW treats ever was a lovely tiny bottle of rum... I did savor that. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) As much as I love chocolate, I'm really not that into fudge! I have blood sugar problems-- persistent hypoglycemia which is actually worsened by eating high glycemic foods (my pancreas goes oh noes big sugar intake, here have MORE INSULIN when I already have too much, sorta the opposite of diabetes)-- that make many treats impossible for me even in moderation. Fudge is one of them... just makes my blood sugar go haywire. Brownies are good though! Again, if they're vegan, I'm almost certainly going to be excited to see them pass my way... Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I like it! Does anyone like kimchi? I freaking love kimchi. (With the vegan caveat as always. I know some people make it with fish sauce, but I rarely have trouble finding it without too.) Not just because it's delicious, but because my brain can barely compute eating it. My eyes and my nose are saying "this is trash! DO NOT EAT GARBAGE FOOD" but my mouth is saying "aaaaaah, moooooore". I feel the same way about natto. Would you be interested in a sample box (from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? It would probably not be pointful for me, since I don't do makeup at all. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Oh jeez Louise. I have really never seen their stuff before and... I think I'm in love. It all looks great. Smiling Jack and Guy Fawkes especially, and the Cicada soap, and... oy. I am going to need to make an Etsy wishlist, and when I get around to that, I'll add specific things from Paintbox but suffice to say, you would be hardpressed to go wrong with anything I'm seeing on their site. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? Nope, I don't watch sports at all. I like to watch rugby, but not having a television or living anywhere that it's popular, it's rare that I catch it. Most sports bore the hell out of me as a watcher... I love to PLAY sports, but that's totally different in my mind. You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? A bottle of Eat Me (which I always forget about until I have One of Those weeks) An imp pack with each of the Mad Tea Party scents I haven't tried: Alice's Evidence, All in the Golden Afternoon, Frumious Bandersnatch, Mad Hatter, Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, White Rabbit, all of the Garden of Live Flowers, all of Moral Hymnody and Nonsense. I haven't tried any of the Marchens but don't know which ones in particular I'd want, but imps of some of those. An imp of Dragon's Reverie which I tried back in the beginning of my BPAL adventures and didn't like and very quickly swapped away, but which I've always wanted to try a second time. Honey Pumpkin Stout bath oil or soap or both... drool... Harvest Festival atmosphere spray, though I'd be a little concerned about the hay... I was so SO allergic to Hay Moon that I've been cautious ever since. Lemurian Seaweed, Opium Tar, Tears of the Seraphim powders... oooh, shiny. I wonder if they make bubbles? How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? Positive! There's nothing I particularly need right now, but moar paper is always good. I like unlined paper, beyond that, no preferences really. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Mostly just makes a mess, and my two year old WILL try to eat it. How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I love stuffed animals but my kid will take possession of any that come my way.

SW fall/Halloween round 2011

September 30th Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? i"m not sure what this question means. You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? There isn't really anything I am desperate to try atm, so I don't know that I can answer this. how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I really like the smell of hemp in lotions and such, I am unsure about it in jewelry. September 29th What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? I answered this one in the thread actually, since I am the one who asked it julep maven monthly boxes: I think it's a really fun idea. Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I'm not sure that these would work in Canada, but if they did, I would definitely use it! Like commercial socks? Another question I m not sure of the content? What kind of bear is best? Black bear Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? Very interested. Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Sur, I've never had them! I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? It's cute, but not for me. Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? They are very beautiful. Do you drink wine? I do. Prefer to have white, sweeter is better. Riesling is always a pretty safe bet. Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! That is definitely not what makes me nervous, for me it is making sure my box of awesome has enough awesome in it. Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? yes. Yes I do. I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? I would try it. I am team Candy Corn. September 28th JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?The Guild is pretty fun, and I think the D&D is cool too. It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Smoked slat FTW. And anything with Lavender in it wins too. September 27th What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? I can't really think of anything atm. So who else watched Babylon 5? Brutal HOnesty. Only if there was nothing else on, and even then, I may have just shut the tv off.... Sorry. If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? If i used childhood dog/street, it would be Buckles Elgin. If I used present dog/street, it would be HarleyQuinn Catherine. Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? It has indicated Expressive. Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? porcelain dolls. My ex MIL had quite a few and I hated going into their laundry room, which is were she kept the oldest one she had, which when you think about it, is a really weird place to keep a doll, and when my first daughter was born, she immediately started a collection for her, which immediately stuffed to the very back of a closet and kept it there. She's almost 16 now, and those dolls are still there... what level of contact were you hoping for? Whatever kind of contact my witch/witchee can afford me. I realize that people have busy lives, but still want to be part of something that is alot of fun. As long as you let me know you're out there, i'm pretty good. I do prefer a really well filled out questionnaire if my witchee is going to be silent during the round though, but I think thats my only requirement. Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? I can't think of any. September 26th Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I love international candy! What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? I really like cats eye shapped glasses, and am currently looking for a vintage pair to fit my prescription into. Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Since I live in Canada, not really, but if you're in a different province than me, that would be fun to get. If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? smoked salt, lavender, caramel, in dark chocolate would be one, and bacon, cayenne pepper, and butter toasted peanuts in milk chocolate would be another Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? Don't really know their products. say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I would say Ceres. September 25th Stuff you've been meaning to do: Blow up some photographs that I want to hang in my kitchen, get my closet all organized again, finish painting the patch job n the downstairs hallway.. thats just straight off the top of my head.. Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Yes indeed I would, preferences would go in this order.. preserves, jellies, jams. Only because I have alot of jams.. Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Not par5ticularly. if I'm feelng ancy, I slip lavender in my pillowcase, if I'm sick, I need my super cozy jamjams, thats about it. Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?I had never heard of this site, so I looked, and promptly bought the T they have up today.. I may have found a new addiction Princess Bride? Yay or nay? A really big YAY! What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches I love Alice in Wonderland, I really do, almost every version I have found, but the classic is definitely the best. My favourite witch is the Queen from snow white. September 24th how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I'm good with it. What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? They are very cute, but I think it wouldn't stay on either my desk ormantel, I think my youngest child would steal it and claim it for her own. lol Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Well since I am at work (early, no less!) I look very respectable today_ black shortie sweater with a dress that is a swirly patter with light green, green, black and white mixed around in it. I am also wearing a pair of harajuku lovers heels. Kerchiefs? I think I would wear it. It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? The weekend has passed at this point I know but to answer the question.. I pretended not to have any chores or responsibilities and headed to the Michigan Renaissance Festival. September 23rd Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? That museum is. SO. COOL. I collect a couple of touristy- like things, squished pennies and badges or patches, that kind of thing, but lets say you had something wildly cool to give, i'm game:) I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I have never done anything by cocoa Pink, so I cna't really say there is anything I wouldn't want. September 22nd If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? googling Spoonfeather... I can't find anything. Did you mean Spoonflower? If so the fabric on there is to die for, there is so many I like I can't even begin to list them.. Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! red is my favourite colour, I like bold colours, puce is not a nice colour.. What is your favorite word? conundrum and epitome What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Armwarmers are wonderful inventions. One cannot have too many pairs, hence one cannot have too many different kinds. i like a not too thick kind that are easy to fit under my jacket sleeves if they are longer, nothing chunky, dainty lacey "going out" ones are lovely too. Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I enjoy jar candles best as I don't have many candle holders and they come equipped with their own. What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I love to mix up the flavors, for example Spicy Peanut brittle So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff?

If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I would like a thick and warm one, with bold colours. No allergies, Just nothing scratchy would be the restriction lol If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. She looks sad because she was about to have a bath lol Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I do like them very much and if that’s what my Witch wants to send me I’.m good with that too! How do you feel about terrariums? Neither here nor there about them really. What's your favorite horror movie? I am not a horror film lover, but I really did enjoy The Others with Nicole Kidman in it. I thought it was really well done. If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. I use The Healthy Baby Lotion by LaVanilla everyday. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? A handpainted quote would be lovely, one of my favorites is “The past is like an Anchorholding us back; you have to let go of who you are to become who you will be.” Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Yes I do If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I do not like manga at all. If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?

Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? FER SURE Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix?

If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! anything goes but raisins or dehydrated plums or apricots. Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I love charm bracelets. I would especially like a charm owl. September 20th Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. I never know what kind of brushes to get, so help in that area would be greatly appreciated! Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Legos ROCK. I still play with them, and not necessarily with the kids! Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get.{/b] I would actually shoot over to the trading post instead. I would get a couple of pairs of socks and then some baors of port royal soap. Pretty sure that would eat up more than my 50 bucks… Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Alice In Wonderland A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I don’t really have a process per se. I see the end result in my head and begin. And along the way it morphs into something else entirely sometimes, or with just a hint of what I originally envisioned. Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I don’t buy anything else but bpal. I’m sure they’re lovely but it could become even more dangerous to my cc. So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? I think that would be awesome! September 19th What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: How do you feel about franken polish?

Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? You can never have too many lip balm. I am open to more- I prefer pots right now, but will use whatever. Sky is the limit. Right now my go to brand is Korres lip butter. Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) I love fountain pens. I keep one in my purse to use when I am out and I use them all the time at home. I did NOT KNOW that there are pen wishlists!! I may have to look into that! -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) Sure. -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Art supplies spell awesome. -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? Love them! They are very original pieces. If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? I would pick up that new dry shampoo- I’m curious to see how it works-and if theres anything left over, maybe a scratch card.

Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... I LOVE PUMPKIN. PUMPKIN ANYTHING.... Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? never heard of it, googling now...

(Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. I have swapped with someone from france before and she sent me some really amazing triple milled french soap made out of vegetable oils which was amazing on my daughters excema. I'd like to get some of that again, but I don't care where you're from, every place has it's own cool things and I think anything that I can't get from where I live is pretty neat. Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).

Favorite characters? LOVE star Wars. I like the original trilogy best. To me, that IS Star Wars.

They are always so taken by the fact that people all over the world can get together and do something this fun with each other without ever meeting one another.

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you?http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)

I like art nouveau alot if thats a pattern or design.. Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? That would be very nice indeed.

Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I am good with thrift. I understand some squick about clothing depending on the condition, but sometimes you can get really great items to be repurposed. For example, bridesmaid dresses. All of this gorgeous fabric which is pricey to get at times, can be turned into something else quite easily. And it’s the thrill of the hunt when you’re in those stores as well isn’t it? Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I don’t own one and I don’t really know any that are SW friendly unless they are already a part of here.

I will eat my chocolate with anything except raisins. I mean anything. I recently had bacon dipped chocolate. It’s very good. Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some?

YES Sea Salted Caramels. Amazing. Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?

I display stones here and there in the house, in little dishes- my youngest daughter is an avid collector and I have an abundance of ones from the driveway lol. But pretty stones are perfect. And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I get a huge kick out of the star wars light saber chopsticks, and the edible hibiscus flowers are tres cool!!

(i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) Are you going away for any part of this round? No I’m not. Boo. Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? YES- I have gotten one before and it was awesome. And what a great way to find new music you may have missed before. If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? I think that would be very cool, because who knows if you will ever end up there yourself?

SW Questions!

September 20th Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. Not if they are really expensive, but I could use a couple make up brushes, especially for eyeshadow. Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I used to have a little Snape figure that was really cute, but overall I was never into LEGO. Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Oooh tough...I'd probably replace my Last Unicorn and get Prince Lir...that's a bit over though...I might get a back up of WILF, or take a chance on one of the Weenies 'm on the fence about. Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love: MANY. I usually like things primarily for the characters, so this is hard for me. Identify with: Aziraphale (ChildofTime says he's the closest to me you can get) T-Rex from Toy Story Bridget Jones A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I'm not crafty...when I knit all I think is MUST NOT BORK DIRECTIONS COME ON BRAIN Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I can't do Arcana- thier carrier doesn't like me so everthing goes rancid smelling. I just stick to BPAL because that's bad enough. EDIT: Arcana scrub or soap would be fine, though! So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? I wouldn't want anyne to come to my house (because it sucks) but I'd love to meet for lunch or a coffee or drinks/dessert! September 19th What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Covered! Though I might think of more... How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I've never had any, but it sounds cool- I won't buy something if it isn't 3-free but it wouldn't bother me if you used something that wasn't. I like shiny and crazy colors, because I only do my toes. Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I rarely use lipbalm, because I'm picky. I also have Long Winter Farm lipbalm which I like because it isn't greasy- hate the feel of sticky stuff on my lips and hate the smell usually, but not hers. I'm open to enabling, though! Pots or tubes, doesn't matter. I had some from the Savannah Bee Company I liked that was in a wee pot but I don't know what happened to that. Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) These would be wasted on me. -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) Can't paint -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Mostly these are a waste unless it's for something you know I do, but I LOVE paint-with-water books- not sure they still make those but I loved them as a kid. -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I love nerdy shirts! I've never bought from Threadless, though, so not sure of sizing. If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Sticking with Big Advil and maybe some candy, or a packet of Goody hair elastics (need them for work, and they have a high attrition rate). Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Probably? I've never had homemade pickles or canned goods, but I do like food. Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? This really depends on the subject, but I like black and white and the old sepia toned pictures. I like most kinds of photography, but I'm not sure about abstract stuff. would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works The concept is fun but I don't really use that kind of stuff. Amigurumi, yes or no? YES I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! Hmmm...I love ancient Etruscan tomb painting, Titian's Venus of Urbino, Minoan art...I migh have to add to this later. If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? DORK ALERT- some of my RPG characters! Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Apple vanilla/lavender as long as it isn't plasticky or really strong warm foody things that aren't too sweet or strong Oh man...the Bath & Bodywors Autumn candle is the PERFECT candle scent! Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Teavana strawberry blooming tea light, fruity tea Irish Breakfast type tea that is mellow and comforting September 18th Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I would love a T-Shirt, witch-designed or otherwise. I usually need a 2X...I like girly Ts but I can't wear them except I can wear the Post's tissue T in a 2X and it looks good...so I only buy the Lunacy T if it's worth forty bucks, but at least it's hot and comfortable. The only one I have is Moon of Horses. How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... I don't seek it out but I wouldn't be opposed. The Lab's pumpkin note is usually death for me, and apple is my autmn scent of choice. Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? These do look cool; I'll put any that strike me in my etsy faves. If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. Paprika Pringles or other European snacks (or thse delicious gummis from Asia). International ghost stories in English. UK editions of favorite books for the variant covers. Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I'm not a giant Apple fan so I wouldn't need paraphernalia...I have a shitty wireless keyboard and a nice non-wireless gaming mouse. SOCK PREFERENCES? Knee highs or over the ankle- knee socks have to be able to withstand 20+ inch calves. I love handknitted socks! Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Nah I don't do yoga. Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I like them but don't prefer them to standard-toed socks. September 17th Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I have a few in my amazon. I wish like hell I knew what happened to my 3rd seasn of Supernatural, and I've been thinking about Tangled but not hard enough to spend money (also I should add some things I need to replace because I only have it on VHS). Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I do like postcards! Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Nope. Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? It's OK...ChildofTime really likes it so I'm familiar, but it's not my thing. Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Sure, but I'm not sure what of. I like ruins and abandoned buildings, or whatever you enjoy photographing. September 16th Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Let me tell you- it was my turn to make dinner the other night. What did I make? If you guessed "frozen chicken nuggets and toast, and two hours late" you'd be correct. So I'd usually rather go out. New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Yum! Although I actually really like the cheap fake shit too. How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Those are cute if you like making them, though I doubt I'd actually carry it I'd be flattered if you made me one. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I liked the original trilogy but the new ones have sort of ruined them for me. Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Yummy beef jerky...I like the tender kind, sweet rather than spicy- teriyaki is delicious- and I usually try to get it without a ton of suger added. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I open mine at home so fire away. Unless it's going to shriek PEEEEEEENIIIISSS really loudly or something. Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Yay! I like Ten the best. I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? Sure- I love stickers even though I don't have many uses for them. Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I've never seen it, because the people I knew who liked it were kind of annoying about it. How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I looooove gummis. How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I'd love a Gelaskin for my Nook! Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? My creepy threshold is pretty high, but I don't like anything too gory or slashy/zombie. I like some cute Halloween things, but I do take it seriously as a holiday so I like it to have some teeth. Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I don't have any piercings open right now, so no. How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? YUM September 15th interested in anything from Lush? I got kind of mad at Lush and haven't gotten anything from them in a long time. I could use another brick of Rouge henna, though, for my hair. Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? don't have a blog. Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Yes! do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Sure! How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. These are hard because most of the ones for Richmond are 30 minutes or more away from here, but if you saw something good it would be nice. do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Not really, but I like the dancing skeletons. Who here adores meringue? It's ok but there are other candies I like better. September 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? No...I don't think I can. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I don't drink a lot of liquor, but I'd be open to some if you think I'd like it. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I love fudge, but no nuts! Brownies are good, but they'd have to be no wheat, so fudge is better. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Don't know what it is! Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Just about everything, I think. Does anyone like kimchi? EEEEWWWW! Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Maybe? You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Too big- probably one of everything, no joke. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? About all of it! I love paintbox, especially the scrub, and I'm really after Indian Summer, but I like most everything from there. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Don't like any sports at all. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I don't really need them, unless you find a nice notebook for my RPG notes. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Glee, until I have to clean it up. Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I bought Lovers and Beloveds when I got my Nook, but I haven't read it yet. How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I like them, but I really, really have no space for them. I'd only make an exception for small/handmade ones of something crazy. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Those are cute, but we already have our bottles labeled. When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Sleep and hot showers, soup, grilled cheese, or breakfast food. Once I'm feeling better I like Disney movies or some other familiar visual entertainment or a good book. I also like to have my sinuses rubbed when I'm stuffy. What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) The Witchery What do you really NOT want? September 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Decorative things I might not be able to use as much, but kitchen gadgets are good. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Last Halloween (yeah I don't get out much) I was a bridesmaid in my best friend from high school's wedding. It was sort of Celtic/faire garb for us, so I had a really pretty outfit- a purple and wine bodice from Moresca, a dark gold shift, and a wine colored satin gathered skirt. I also finally got to wear my Carnivale mask from Venice. September 12th Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Yes! I have a black and white Nook- the touch screen kind. It can do several formats, but the ones I know are EPUB and Nook. It's kind of annoying to gift them, though, because you can't send them directly from Barnes and Noble yet. If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? Only a fur child for me! Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Sure- I like messenger style bags the best. When I go purse shopping I bring a hard cover book to make sure it fits. Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Labyrinths, and I'm not sure what you would do with this information but I like the meanders and other patterns used on ancient pottery. I also like moons. Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I would love that! I used to have one that I loved, with Titania on it from the Globe Theatre (A Midsummer Night's Dream is special to me because it's our anniversary of getting together- we actually celebrate it more than our regular wedding anniversary, so I really liked having the mug have imagery from it) but it either got lost when we moved or is in one of the boxes we had to store. Either way, I'd love a new mug, especially a fantasy-ish one. If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I like bagged tea. Loose tea is nice, too, but I'm too lazy to fix it usually. I like flavored black and white teas, green is ok, and I don't really care for red. Decaf and regular are both fine. September 11th I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I have no problem with anything used except for some clothing- shirts and jackets are ok, so are shoes, wouldn't really like any sort of pants though. Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? No to the first, and not many to the second. I haven't used etsy much during SW. Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? Neither extreme- there are some things Disney that I really like, others less so. Beauty and the Beast and Tangled are my favorites, and I also liked Hercules (well Megara really) and Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet. What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Peppermint Batties! Also Peanut Butter Pumpkins. And I like Mellowcreme Pumpkins, but I only need a few of them per year. I also like caramel apples and pumpkin bread, which aren't really Halloween candy but I only get them in the fall. Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like both but I mostly use soap, either paintbox soapworks or Villainess. I like pretty much all kinds of scents except florals. I have some in my etsy favorites if that helps. How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Peanut butter, caramel, and mint are all good. I also love salty chocolate, and even liked the bacon chocolate I had once. I like exotic chocolate but I don't like it really dark. Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? They are pretty but I wouldn't have much use for them. Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Salted caramel is AWESOME. Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Sure, though I'm not sure what you are describing. I'd like a scarf? Purple is my favorite color, and my winter coat is chocolate brown. This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? They're nice but again I wouldn't have much use for them unless they were special for some reason. And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I love Think Geek- I have a few things from there on my amazon wishlist but I like lots of things from them. Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I've never heard of Pinterest before, so it's safe to say no. September 10th What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Actors: I really like Benedict Cumberbatch, at least as Sherlock, Alan Rickman, David Tennant, uhm...that might be it. I don't get really obsessive about this kind of thing. Author: I get everything by Sarah Monette, and I usually check out Joe Abercrombie, Patrick Rothfuss, Neil Gaiman, and Terry Pratchett. I also obsessively check for any sign of life from Scott Lynch, because I want the third book but I'm starting to think it will never happen. Musician: I like P!nk and Lady Gaga the best, but I wouldn't say I was obsessed with them. Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Not particularly. The candles might be nice, though. If they made them into Smooches I'd be more interested, but their soaps aren't as big a deal to me. If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? Spot, my cat, likes anything made of wool- even more than catnip- and he likes soft cat treats. He doesn't really have any dietary restrictions but he only has one kidney so we try to keep it free of ash and lower sodium. What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? Sorry, mine are mostly hard- I really want Sugar Skull atmo spray and some properly aged Queen of Spades, Looking Glass bath oil (any of the limited bath oils, really, except last fall's Treatsy and Tricksy). An easier one would be Knave of Hearts- I don't want to buy an imp of it but I really want to try it. Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? I like dark fantasy or pagan-y art, anything short of giant would be fine. I also like classical type things. If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I'm not really into make up but I like to play with it a bit- I usually get MAC or Urban Decay. My skin is fair but not usually the lightest available, gold/pink tones to it. I really need a good facial cleanser and moisturizer, so I'd be open to enabling with that. Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Tea yes, coffee no- I do like to experiment with tea. Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) mp3 or CD (I rip CDs onto my computer). Nothing I can think of unless you have access to BWO CDs or mp3s- I like them, but I can't get them in America. Are you going away for any part of this round? Probably at the very end I will go to visit my parents for Thanksgiving, and I might go somewhere for Halloween weekend but I'm not sure. Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Yes! I love mix CDs. If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Of course! Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I don't like being outside that much, but I do like walking. Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Nothing comes to mind... Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Not really, unless it's super awesome- I have a desk but it has two computers on it, so space is a bit of a premium, and I don't work at a desk. Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? I like them, but not to the extent that they would make a good gift, I don't think. I've been listening to some of The Book of Mormon because of a friend of mine, and that's pretty funny. September 9th Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I actually don't like incense at all, I'm afraid. - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Yes, definitely a fan- I'm a Slytherin! - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Let's see...Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sephora, Think Geek, Villainess, Paintbox Soapworks Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Oooh lots..I like the labyrinth, Persephone and Hades, really drawng a blank on this right now but I love myths and fary tales. I also love urban legend type stuff- one of the reasons I fell for Supernatural. If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! I would love this- I have several beloved RPG characters I'd love to see. I'll tell you what; if you would like me to describe them al out, let me know and I will. Otherwise I won't, because it wil take a long time for me and bore you stupid if you aren't interested in it. If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality! I'd like to see the Library of Alexandria, or I always say I'd have the Doctor take me back to see opening day at the Colosseum (though I'd start to cry when they started killing the animals). I'd also love to see Hogwarts, a real unicorn, and Helen of Troy. When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Oh lots of things, depending on what's going wrong. I like to go out for ice cream or something indulgent (I do like food for comfort, sadlly), have a nap, a hot bath with something bubbly/fizzy, or I'll read to go be somewhere and someone else for a while or play a game. If all else fails, there is always a good cry. What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I loved Poison Elves, but it stopped coming out when the creator died. I need a new one to follow but I lost track of X-Men years ago. Grendel sounded good from the new perfume line. Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? Not musical at all, but if I could choose an nstrument I'd pick guitar. Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I don't have anywhere to put a garden- the extent of my gardening is leafing through the Breck's catalogue. Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I don't really decorate for Halloween except for a pumpkin or two, but I am most drawn to elegant with a creepy edge. Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not really. I mean probably but I'm having a hard time putting anything into words. Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: I like them but I actually wouldn't be that excited to get one as a gift. September 8th From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Hooo...let's see. I wasn't sure enough about anyhing to order a bottle unsniffed, which is a unheard of for me. I will probably buy Halloween Las Vegas, and I want to try Pumpkin Princess even though I KNOW it's a terrible idea because pumpkin never ever works on me. I also want to try Catrina Calavera, Vampire Bride, the Sonnet D'Automne if that's the right name. There's some stuff from the Post I really want though- Spun Sugar Spectre, Strubwiese soap, Orchards of Hell and Autumn Harvest Room sprays, hair gloss and Seraphim's Tears bath fizz. I'm also one of the lucky people that got Crypt King, but it hasnt come yet. I'm definitely buying Spun Sugar Spectre on payday, but everything else I'm not sure about. Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I'm not hugely into it but I do like it- I like fairly crazy colors because I only use it on my toes. The only kind I have is OPI, often from Sephora. There's one from their Glee collection called Hell to the No that I want- it's a slick purple with gold shimmer. Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... I like jar candles. A nice autmny apple would be nce- eager to see the Pos candles go live but I probably won't guy any right away. We bought like 5 jar candles from Yankee Candle 7 years ago and none are even close to used up. I like fruity and non-extreme foody scents, hate florals. Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Oh yes! Socks are great, and I'd also love a shawl or scarf. Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sure, though I'm not sure what specificaly. I love bread and crisps? What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? I've bought most of mine, but I think I want Tombstone, Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, and most of the Last Unicorns. Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I only ever mooch off ChildofTime's Ravelry because I don't knit enough to keep my own. Social Media? I'm ow1goddess on Twitter, bt I don't use anything any more. Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Just my amazon and etsy lists- I don't use any other perfumes, f that's what you mean. Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? Mac What is your favorite animal? My favorite specific animal is Spot, my kitty. I love cats, horses, penguins, Luna moths, and just about anything cute. What are you going to be for Halloween? Probably nothing. We don't do much for Halloween. In a pinch I'll be Molly Weasley or just wear my Faire garb. How do you feel about nick-knacks? Only if they are super duper awesome, because I have very little space to display anything. What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? For the Fall, I always read scary books. I reread The Shining every October, for instance. I used to visit with my best friend and carve pumpkins and watch The Crow but Halloween is her wedding anniversary now so I'm not sure what we'll do. Do you like going to the movies? Yes! I don't do it often, though, because I have to be really sure I will like the movie. What are your favorite restaurants? Chipotle, Umi (upscale sushi place), El Patron (Mexican place near our house where they will come make guacamole AT YOUR TABLE), Bruster's (ice cream place) Do you play any video games? Yes- I used to play World of Warcraft a lot, but now my computer can't handle it. I also love Neverwinter Nights, and I have an XBOX 360. I like RPG types- I have Dragon Age but haven't started playing it yet. Do you like any anime? I used to like a lot of anime but I haven't watched it much since college. Two that I've been meaning to watch are Princess Tutu and Bunny and Tiger. Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I have a nice case from Sewkawaii on etsy for my Nook, but I do want to get it a Gelaskin. how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I don't wear jewelry that often, but a prety necklace would make me happy. How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Recipes are good, but I will be passing them on the ChildofTime, since she is the cook. Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? I need another bottle box. We have four now, I think, and we still have overflow, plus two of those boxes aren't even painted. Muppets: yea or nay? I do like the Muppets- can't wait for the new movie. Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Not really- we don't get the paper so I haven't followed comic strips in years. Favorite Mythological Creature?: Unicorn! Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers? Not for me!

The BrokeWitch Swap

BrokeWitch: List of offers for your Witchee!

DO NOT comment here; PM the people in question. This is an awesome list, people! From MeiLin: Free ebooks! The list is here (some of the books are naughty, so keep that in mind), and in addition I have two cookbooks, "I Love Garlic" and "Big Book of Crockpot Cookery." Find out whether your Witchee got them in the last SW, because I gave out a LOT of 'em... From stellans: Icons and avatars. From MotherKat: sketches. From angelamaria: Icons, avatars and wallpapers. From Kitrona: Flash fiction (under 1,000 words), icons, 3-card tarot readings. From yewberry: Help assembling Pandora stations, ecard minioning, filthy jokes. From findaghost: Spotify invites.
