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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.?

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! anything goes but raisins or dehydrated plums or apricots.

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!

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).

Or diabetes either.

I wore a black swing-cut style dress with larger white flowers onit, accenting by a beautiful purple color collar and sash belt.

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? My kids would by very excited to be included. 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. They often help me choose what should go into the box of goodies as well. As for sizes, my oldest would be a ladies medium, my son would be 12-14, and my youngest girl would be a 10-12.

 

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 Quite like the number six, but with a long handle, and number three is quite sharp as well…

 

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? 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. I feel like my “favorite mug” is always in the sink or dishwasher, because it’s someone else’s “favorite mug” too

 

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 different teas, and haven’t had huge experience with the different packaging of them, I welcome any of it!

 

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 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.

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

DISNEY!!! I just took my 3 kids for our very first trip ever to DisneyWorld. I can’t get enough an it makes me extremely nostalgic. I love Disney. LOVE Disney.

 

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?I love those little molasses chews that are very hard to find anymore. I also like the caramel squares.

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Soap. I am in love with whole foods triple milled French soap in Sandalwood and lavender. My previous witch sent me some and I am hooked. It’s all I buy now. I also will make an exception for shower gels with Lush’s Flying Fox. It’s gorgeous smelling.

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? 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? What sorts of beads do you like? I used to bead quite a bit, but haven’t touched it in a while. I think I’m good with beads right now as I have many other projects on the go and I don’t know when I would get to use anything like that.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! 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?

 

This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Yes. 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!!
