Question answers!

just so you know with you around i have been on etsy WAY more than i think is healthy.     9/15/10 How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? I am not a knick nack person unless its something of one on my anime and even then I try very hard to ONLY buy things I can't LIVE without.   Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? oh man I am on a “broke no book” policy right now. I can not WAIT for November when I plan on going absolutely CRAZY   Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favorite? Would you like to receive managas or anything related to them? *GRABY HANDS* Oh man the current no money for books thing has me so behind on these. I have SERIES of books. Did I remember to link my librarything account in my questionaire? If not feel free to ask for it or heck look for me I have the same name over there. I have favorite mangas I am a weakling when it comes to pretty pretty boys. So on the top right now is Hana-Kimi (I have it all AND The art book but havn't found the extras shes been doing), Saiyuki (I am waiting like a MAD woman for Gaiden to get released in the states), Ouran Host Club and I think Hikaru no Go (damn Viz for not giving me all the DVDS) I love so many other and there are particular character to which I may not like the manga so much as the character     Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Oh sure   If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Oh yep that would be fine       OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? How do people feel about word magnets- SOCKS , I would kill for some soft soft soft soft socks, I actually like mid calf or higher so I can slouch them down   9/14/10 Chocolate or other types of candy?not chocolate   For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags?i like loose but I am always on the look out for herbals   If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? Shawl you say? If it was WARM and Soft and BIG I would so use it this winter as I huddle in front of my computer. I shall look around etsy to see if I can find some ideas of it is to look at. went and spent 3 hours surfing etsy knitting things I added a few of the shaws I liked to my great list of DOOM and then while I was there I added lots of yarns that made me go all covetous     Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? I would love to be like someone so far no luck   Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? butchers twine and some lemony seasoning   Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit?  Hehe my own question. I like LIVE and I like mine un censored I can't STAND the stupid edits the do for the radio   If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most?yes I am a horse and big dog lover   Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I love flowers I like them LOUD and bright. Gerber daisies, lilies, Poppies   Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? Oh man I have been stuck on Smile by Lilly Allen (shes such a naughty thing) this week favorite verse-   At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile     WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. Heaven willing and the creek don't rise – I say this A LOT   What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent w here even a tester would do)    Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.)my girls love lots of things but I have a strict no annoying toys rule. As I think its unfair to make me even crankier than I already am   Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that – humm fanfic recs are GOOD but finding things for me can be a challenge. If you do want to go that route I can give you my favorite communities and or pairings. A couple of my authors do charity writing in my section I sooo wanted a story written for the help Pakistan drive but didn't have the 10 bucks to bid on it. I gobble itunes cards like candy. I have never done anything with netflix or the like but I am not knocking it.   What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang)  Hummm this has changed with my health going down hill and the alcohol allergy no more bottle of blue label whiskey for my dinner. Ia m not sure what I would ask for now.     NaNoWriMo? Yes and I am thinking of trying YET again.

i have been poked

All right i have been poked. today was traumatic so i am behind on most things. But i think the question you want answered is the whole kidlets costume thingy. i am nto against it, i am really leaning towards make both of them faeries or princesses. I haven't gotten stuck on EITHER yes but that the lean. if you want to send them something for it then Go on, if they dont' end up with it for their costumes i am sure it will be put to use in their dress up clothes.   i am not really up to anymore tonight. I will try to do better tomorrow.

My head ache was almost gone this morning so with some errands and having to take the little one to school ia m a little beter today.   I plan on tackling the thread later today, i am sure after a weekend away I am WAY behind.

i caved

okay i admit it I caved, i couldn't deal with the caffineless of my existence any more. So i am back to almost full speed. I am going to try weening myself back instead of the abrupt stop this time.   I will be posting to the IGT thread about the girls fairy booklets. They are Frothing to get to them and i keep telling them they have to help me get a place cleaned off to do it.   I am almost 25 pages behind on the SW thread due to my weekend in the fog. I will slog through it today and hope to get to the minty catch uped ness by tonight, but it may be tomorrow.

nooo not snarky TV

Damn damn damn, I didn't need to see the Castle Pilot really I DONT NEED A snarky TV show to watch. So witch i thought i should mention i have been adding to the great WANT list of doom at amazon. Its become a kinda wonder land of things i want. So i will at some point NEED the rest of this show. It has fabulous music, to go with snarky dialog, its all things love. But i have only now seen two episodes the first and one some where in season 1 (it was about a girl rocker's death) so i can't do any fandom or anything like that YET.   Well the oldest just woke and puked her dinner down the stairs, I was thinking ti would be an early night for me. No such luck.

okay behind as USUAL

Oh how i hate frames, this is in a TINY little square now. How am i supposed to compose in this thing *elbows some space to write in*   All right first i will do the great question catch up then well i am betting it will be another post.   March 17   Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only ex. Diaspora, Demonoid, etc. If so, what? Sure although i already have a demonoid account i havnt used in years.   Pillows? What size/designs/colors would most interest you? Oh man i LIKE big colorful fluffy pillows. I love textures and well as long as it isnt a pastel floral i am pretty good with pillowness.   purses? bags? What style/colors? Okay here is a confession. Ia m a woman who dosn't carry a purse, I like them but the ones i want cost to much money and the ones i can afford i dont want. What i want is a BIG leather purse that is butter soft and To big for me to forget.   Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors? Okay I LOVE LOVE LVOE hair sticks, problem is they ahve to be bright and sturdy enough to hold up THICK heavy hair. I snap little ones or they jsut arnt enough to hold it up. I need at least 7 inc of usable stick. I LOVE LOVE wooden ones that are about the size of good chop sticks. They need to be rounded and smooth or my hair eats them. I used to have some beautiful red ones what i wore for years. I accident snaped them when i had my hair to high and wound it to tight on the stick, I was sad   Would you like anything from Starring Fragrances. They make awesome hair stuff, natural deoderant, and home fragrance (and a ton of other stuff, those are just my favs)? humm not sure wonder if i can find a link. (ill get back to you)   March 16   For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer? I have to admit i dont wear them but hey i am willing to try anything, and if i could get a green apple lip gloss I could be a convert     Are there any fancy/gourmet/special herbs or spices that you'd love to receive? ie: good quality vanilla or other extracts, vanilla beans, saffron, lavender, etc. - I have ALWAYS wanted to try some fo these but well i cant bring myself to pay what they want for them. Some vanilla extract of good quality would never go bad around ehre though   What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you? I like canines from domestic to wild. Hubby calls me the alpha bitch and well it isnt a bad thing   If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want? Humm not sure i have been avoiding temptation (well except for the call of SW)   DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither? dvds for the most part so i can let the kids watch them in the car   Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?) I have a WHOLE list of these on my amazon list its fairly up to date   Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care? dont care   Do you like pirate-related things? ummm depends   Soaps? Be specific: if there are BPAL soaps you want to try or are dying for more of, tell all here! Also, any other companies people like or love? Villainess, maybe? Or Lush? What flavors??? All of these would be on the amazon list   What periods of art do you love most? Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco? The romanticism of Art Nouveux? The strange lines of Cubism? I am almost an art idiot- I like color but not art deco, i like motion but not anything sloppy. I love the art of some of my manga artists but then again like Van goh and the impressionists.   Would you like caffeinated lollipops?: umm no http://www.lollyphil...cks-caffeinated   Copied CD's or DVD's? I am not so into these unless its something they havnt put out on dvd legally   I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you? Umm no   March 15   Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds? Yay but only nice ones   Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay? not so much   Do you like amurigami dolls?nope   Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most? NINJA rule MAN   Do you like wearing things in your hair? If so, what kind (snap clips, scrunchie, headband, etc), how big & crazy (lowkey, bigger the better), and colors. Most of this stuff is for the girls, But i do like them. I mostly use plain black or brown bands in my hair if its not up in hair sticks   Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere? ears   Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things) hummm not so much a chocolate person but strange things sound good to try i can say i like sea salt but want much on curry   March 14   surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours? I would just lay there like a log and or read till my eyes fall out   Do you have any blogs you regularly read? Humm i read illona andrews, and a few other authors   Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like? I love pretty boxes for my imps i have UGLY ammo boxes now and they are jsut blah   Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers? i would like to garden but so far i havnt been good for anything but herbs on the back porch. i keep swearing i am going to put in a bed to the side of the house so far hasnt happened   Social Networking sites:i am on LJ, and facebook   favourite artists or specific paintings? i love early elemental kim mclevoy   March 13   how about mix CDs? bring um on   Hey, how do folks feel about little e-goodies, like links to stuff your witchee likes? (articles online, pix, fic, etc) i like this idea   Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate? not so much   Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection? hummm does Machiavelli count I have this idea od reading it to my girls as a primer for school life   candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay?candle yes nothing to really do melts in   Get your music player, what are the first 13 songs on Random? answered his in the thread   Astrological charts and interpretation/ reports? Oh i got one fo these last round and it was GREAT   So how does everyone feel about receiving ebooks? I dont have anything that really uses the formats. But i can put pdfs on my touch AND a GREAT idea if you could figure out an EASY way to convert fanfiction stories from sites to pdfs that i can then put on my touch i would worship your nubbies   March 11   Would you rather have HUGE list of things your witchee wants to try or just a highlight list? hey i asked this one   March 10   Baked Goods? Yea Nay? yay   If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? Oh yeah I liek this idea   If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW (Not that any of you will make any bpal orders until SW is over, because you do NOT want to mess up any plans your witch might have!) What would you order (from lab, forum, DD, TradingPost, etc)cant broke   What level of nudity are you fine with on items? Ex: none, tasteful, erotica tasteful   I know the ?airre asked about gently used books and if you like garage sales, but would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale? Sure, if you look at my etsy list you will see enlightened Platypus's creations, GODS i would kill to have her skills and be able to have a coat of hers for me and my girls. all her stuff is reused upcycled. so yeah i can see this   Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out? oh man yes yes i go, i go through the pampered chef lemon seasoning like it was easy to get hold of. We are getting to point where we can grill again so nice un hot spicey seasonings would be a hit here (both hubby and i have tummy trouble with to much heated spices)   Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk? ALLERGIC to TEA ( i can have herbal stuff and i really like them) Hubby has developed a new thing for mint teas so he would like any of those   Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?) Humm I like to snack on salty cereals (i eat ALL the chex out of chex mix drives hubby crazy)

So the great insanity of trying to get lists that make sense

SO i have wishlist on Amazon, a board on pinterest, and one on scentbase. if you need anything on this you can normally ask Lisanut for anything you need clarified.   As I think I put in the questionnaire use these to see what i like. I dont expect you to get these things i just want you to know what things i personally like.   Side note i want ALL the hair glosses, with a great and greedy want. i will be trying to put together my MAJOR wants for my wishlist and maybe if i manage ti to put it up on here instead of scentbase but well so FAR that hasnt happened. I had a bottle of Furball and it was Divine i used the whole thing up, havnt found another yet. Tombstone and Chorion look to be vanilla Yumminess in bottle for my hair. Nectar i would only want a little to try it sounds WAY to sweet to be me, although that might just be what my girls would want.   i am trying to find a way to put out my BPAL and BPTP wishlist together but so far i am being stoped i WILL be doing it and as soon as i can

But I would take any goodies that I can use as a charm to MAYBE get us out there someday. Also tip advice on where to stay where not to staya nd how to have the most fun cheaply would be great 9/18/15 I know there is a question about "decorating style", but if you're comfortable, could you should us some photos of your spaces? For those of us who like to art and craft, it can be nice to have a visual sense of decorating style!   I do not let Photographic evidence of our mess out into the wild Sorry 9/19/15 For those of you who don't drink alcohol, can you specify if you live with any drinkers or ever have alcohol on hand for guests, vs. abstaining and preferring not to have it around at all? this is like those vegan people but for alchol right? Are you a fan of the TV show Penny Dreadful? No What are your coffee and tea preferences? Do you prefer one, the other, both, or neither (and if it's neither, what about things like hot cider and cocoa)? Loose leaf or bags, whole bean or ground? Is caffeine OK? Any gadgetry you're in need of? Any brands or flavors that you particularly love, loathe, or want to try? okay i LOVE herbal fruity teas, but with my allergies to both Tea the plant and Strawberries they are a dangerous tricky thing for me to get. I went through and hit Adagio teas for my amazon wishlist to give you ideas of what I can have. Also my husband has an allergy to lemongrass so i try to not bring that in the house either   What's your sense of humor like? Do you enjoy puns? Play on words? Dirty humor? Dry humor? Who are some of your favorite comedians? I like snarky things i love witty Tshirts and so on. if its potty humor you might as well count me out. Do you like board games? If so, which ones? Traditional or more unique? (like Settlers of Catan, Small World, Red Dragon Inn, etc) we actually are getting more into the idea of board games as the kids are reaching the age where they wont just EAT the pieces. i have to admit i want my own Bean cards someday Is there anything that you specifically do NOT want to receive? not that i can think of     So dear witchy friends till next time

What items from the Weenie update interest you, should you have to option of getting anything as a gift from your Witch??? Would you be ok with decants, or bottles? I answered this before it was done on what i want size wise, I am great with decants. Dont get me wrong I LOVE the bottle art but unless i KNOW its a KILL me i NEED it scent a bottle is overkill   9/24/15   Blu-ray or DVD? either i watch it all on a playstation 3   Game systems - console or computer? Mac/PC? Which console? we have in active service a playstation 3 and a WiiU i also have a newish mac for relative computer games. Problem is games for the most part have to be kid friendly i am literally never parted from the 3 year old. I gave my older kids a little fright when I tried to play Skyrim a few years ago and they were MUCH older   Are you dressing up for Halloween and if so do you need any accessories for if? I WISH thing I have always wanted to dress up as is Ursula from the little mermaid. I dont sew that much by myself and all my co conspirator seamstresses have gone. So I will be the grumpy grown up again   Talk to me about bags, what kinds do you like? Sizes and styles? okay here is I have something i need help with. I need niceish large should bag. It needs to be able to hold a LOT of kid crap. I have one that just not working but its all i have. The oldest is now on cheer team and if its anything like irish dance I will need a Mom bag with everything she could possibly need in one place plus first aid supplies. I am not a small woman so it needs to have a nice space for my chubby arms. You don't have to get it for me, unless you know a cheap way to do so.

I might If you as my witch could give me a heads up if your not going to. I will get in on the decant circles. i try to hold off and give my witch a chance for weenies   The Last Huzzah of the NY Renaissance Faire happens this weekend and I'm going! Is there anything you might want? (Besides a turkey leg, which won't ship well!) unless you happen upon an extra large black cloak Nope, if you get the cloak i will pay postage   Do you like comics or graphic novels? Any issues or collections you want to read? okay this is a fun place right now for Comics and for our house. My oldest is in LOVE with Captain marvel. She has the first graphic novel and is drooling for more of them. So yes we want Comics but have sense in that its the 10 year old that after them.

What colors, exactly, do you like? If you could provide color swatches here or to pinterest (or something visual), that would help out a lot. I can do that! I will work on it and it will have its own post       Would you rather receive a bunch of little packages through the round, a couple of medium packages, or one big package at the end? I am great with either just PLEASE talk to me ecard post card little notes form other telling me you were thinking of me and had them talk to me so i had adult conversation         For those of us with out-of-country Witchees, would you be happy with receiving a few packages from local to you merchants (say, through Etsy or equivalent)? totally   Would Witchees like something from IKEA? no ikea its not me to many SHARP corners on EVERYTHING   If/when you go to the mall, for which store(s) do you beeline?

Are you interested in things that go on the wall or things that go on shelves? Nope I ahve WAY to much such stuff already   Office supplies hound?

Is there anything, dear, dear Witchee, that I can get for you from Sock Dreams? Anything from another place? okay i made a sockdreams wishlist and if your in the amazon list you will see others from there. I have been having serious health issues with my feet and so sock have become a life thing. I want soft but lighter weight right now but i will need WARM soft ones as soon as winter descends here in Ohio. on this i shave never had hand made socks so if you were brave on that front i would try them and report back   I live near a huuuuge candy store.

Nope i checked it out and no where we will go has them around here.

Blooddrop is a thing I should havn't looked at

So I looked at the Blood Drop update. never having been to that site I was a little like a kid in the candy story but I think i tamed it back. As with anything these would be the things that i liked and was interested in please dont think you have to do anything.

So first thing i saw were the bath truffles. Apple wood and rum sound so nice. Ghostly and Late Summer were also nice

Then i hit bathing oils a personal love of mine. Apple Cider doughnut, Jord, Sjofn

Bubble bars well Appple cider doughnut, Rubies and Emeralds, Soft Falling, Nightly

the perfumes I want to have a sample of were Eerie Dearie, My other Car is a broom, Santa meurte.

Now Chamber sprays sound particularly delicious apples and Bees (okay this sounds good enough to Roll in), Skol and Hato

her hair oils sound very rich so Aragon and macadamia, Cider Doughnut, and Apples and bees

that is about all i found well beside some of the corsets that i wanted to bring home.

As always witch of mine be happy!!
