Newest additions to GC

okay to add to my wanted list i have gone through and would like to try these GC Add ins-   THE LIGHTS OF MEN’S LIVES THY GODFATHER’S PRESENT GODFATHER DEATH THE LITTLE WOODEN DOLL FIRE FOR THY STEPMOTHER’S DAUGHTERS VASILISSA PAÍS DE LA CANELA   It is going to be some time before i can order more from the lab. Also on a weird side note. If i could get an imp of Crowley from somewhere it would be great. Mine went home with one of my friends a year ago I am going to be doign a MnS here at the house next month and somehow it dosn't seem right to have people try Aziraphale without Crowley there to try to. Which i didn't think of when my friend fell in love with my imp.   As with anything these are just things i want and being older than i want to be my wants won't hurt me.

(I believe the latter can be used as soap if you are not shampoo bar inclined). Or other sample sized bath/beauty products, for that matter? yep yep, I tend to gift these aroudn myself. I can't resist hitting lush and getting all kinds fo slivers to try.   What about burnables as in candles, tarts and/or incense? I like candles and such. I have no things ot do with tarts and such. not sure what they actually are. But if i were to be gifted things to put them in then i am sure to at least try it.

waiting for you witchy

As i wait for a witch of my own, I am trying to correct my last witches problem of not enough info. I may be over compensating but Hey this is getting fun in its own way. Today at work i saw something and though of something i have always wanted but never been able to find at a price i could afford. Ever seen the candles that when lit the wax doesn't get to hot so you can Play in he bed room with them. That may be TMi but really its something i have always wondered about so i thought i would throw it out there.   In the I am COLD vein of the last week. High today was freakin 28. I went to sockdreams again. Such a dangerous store (its all ursula's fault her and fabulous glove fetish work) I would KILL for some Large thigh high socks to prowl around my house in. As for color choices you can never go wrong with black and anything bright, if a bird of paradise might put it in his nest then in all likely hood i will love it.   really witch i am just trying to put out ideas, be aware that if you just think of me and talk to me you are in all likely hood going to have a very happy witch on your hands.

question answers so far

What kind of candy/sweet treat would you like to receive? I like sour gummies, reese cups and cherry stuff Would you personally rather get handmade jewelry or the beads to make something yourself? Made but please no sharp or pointy edges. I once had a small cross get impaled on my collar bone and it HURT 12/4 It seems like there are quite a few knitting witches, so I assume they are on the Ravelry forum as well. If so, what are your names on there so I can stalk you? Sorry not crafty Speaking of which, how many Browncoat witches do we have?? And if you are, would you be interested in getting a Kaylee parasol? If not, would you be interested in getting a paper parasol hand painted with your favorite colors? Is there any time during the holidays (or the rest of the round) when you'll be away from home for a significant period and it'd be best not to send anything by mail? Not that I am aware To make up for the fact that I probably won't be able to send my witchee homebaked goodies, will Tim Tams in any number of varieties be an acceptable replacement? Sure Hand beaded jewellery, yay or nay? YAY Which witches would like hair accessories: clips, scrunchies, hairsticks, headscarves, etc? I love scarfs and Long hair sticks. It has to be longer than 6 inches or it won't even go through my mop let alone hold On a similar note, who likes yarn? What kinds/colors/weights/fibers? Handspun? Glitter? Funky art yarn made from shredded jeans, fake flowers, lace, sequins, and the tattered souls of your enemies? Oh tatter souls would be nice Other craft supplies you desperately want more of and can't live without? nope   Anyone else a total nerd like me and would like DnD/Roleplay stuff (Dice, minis, books, corny tees, etc.)? I have all mine thanks How do people feel about unusual ornaments? As in, for holidays other than Christmas? Is it sparkley? If so I will love it on my tree.   Question: who would like a pair of handknit socks? Size? Color preference? Cabled, ribbed (for your pleasure), stranded colorwork, etc.? Ohh can they be Warm soft socks? If so I am a womans ten and I LOVE bright colors How does everyone feel about steampunk? Its not for me, I like a more natrual look   Since we're talking about warm winter wearables, who likes hats? Mittens? Arm warmers? Okay if you happen to be a knitter we need those type things in this house. As my previous post showed I need a largish hat for me. But I could use kid size mittens with strings attaching them. Hubby would probablly worship anyone that made him some nice mitten for his hands (hes like a medium size hand)   If your witch were to send you cookies, what kind of cookies would you like? I like sugar cookies   Who likes tshirts? What about homemade tshirts? Like with transfers I made myself.... I love tshirts, if they are smart elic and wise they are even better 12/3 Would you like to receive ATCs (artist trading cards) or would you prefer something more usable, like bookmarks or something? Books marks for me. Not that between cats and Kids they last long.

the first

Okay I spent most of today trying to do two things, BPAL related. FIND my Imp of Snow, Glass, Apples. It had disappeared from where i had thought it was. THe other things was get the Final THREE packages from the dear yoakenokami from last round. I didn't get it done yet again. *hangs head* the most awesome present and they STILL can't get photographed.   Anyway I started this because i have lost my wish list. Lost it somewhere in that thread of doom. If you dear witchee have found it please send me an anonymous hint where it can be found. Actually my lsit of BPAL wants is small at the moment. I am waiting on 4 decants from the halloween but I was without internet when it went up and i had to do it by someone reading them to me and i missed two i would like. Sooo heres my latest want list.   Autumn coolness MICTECACIHUATL   and I know this is crazy and i wouldn't expect it But I am so wanting more Snow, Glass, Apples. One imp of this is never going to be enough.   Also if anyone wants to get to me but not have to talk to me. *pouty face* Then you can always ask my dear mentor for this round Ahania, who is holding my hand rather well so far.
