Here are my answers to the questions, copied from Lioness! sorry this is screwed up in terms of format but I can only make some basic adjustments now. Sigh.

November 8th

Do you prefer dark or milk chocolate?

I like milk chocolate more, but dark chocolate has been growing on me. I don't really like chocolate unless it has things in it. Peanut butter and caramel are favorites, but all sorts of things are delicious--the odder the better! Fruit and nuts are wonderful, but I like chiles and bacon and sea salt and herbs (lavender!) too. Some of those things are better with dark chocolate, so I'm not against it.

November 7th

What are your opinions on traditional holiday cookie flavorings? I'm thinking anise and cardamom in particular.

Anise! My nemesis is anything licorice flavored, though I've eaten some holiday cookies with mild anise flavor and tolerated them ok. Cardamom is ok. I'm crazy about nutmeg. And ginger. And ginger bread!

Do you like artisan oils and vinegars?

Very much so!

Bunny, could you use a 2012 calendar, and, if so, do you like big monthly ones or the page-a-day type?

I'm all full up on calenders, thank you!

November 6th

Charity gifts? Either fair-trade type stuff, or virtual type gifts, like vaccinations or school supplies being bought on your behalf, or something along those lines?

Those are kind of cool. Fair trade stuff esp.

Bunny, are you interested in tarts from Two Timing Tart? What scents, if any, are you interested in?

Not big into tarts. I love candles though, any sort, but votives in particular are always useful in my house!

Do you need any holiday recipies? Is there something in particular that you'd like baked or made for you? And for those of you doing the no sugar/low sugar, etc. thing these days, how about savory things?

I don't know....I got some delicious cookies from my switch witch and she included the recipe which in my mind is brilliant! I would be thrilled recieving more baked good, though. I love christmas cookies! I'm not doing low sugar so I'm fine on that. Savory things are still delicious though!

Speaking about candles, how much do you look forward to the BPTP candles that will be launched on Etsy? I don't know if there will be other scents than the Samhain and Pumpkin Cookie one, but is there a specific one you are longing for?

I would love BPTP candles, but have not been keeping up with this development, but I would LOVE LOVE a Samhain candle as I love the scent but can't wear it. Really, any BPTP candles would rock my world.

Does anyone have issues with gently used things like books, etc.?

Absolutely not--I'm all for recycling/upcycling.

Are you a big ol' nerd for any particular subject? Science, math, linguistics, etc? Or particular authors/fandoms?

Dogs. Utterly geeky about dogs. Esp. Japanese dogs.

Bunnies, how do you feel about lemon-flavored items, like lemon marmalade, lemon curd, lemon pound cake, or lemon cookies?

LEMON! Oh, how I love lemon. Lemon pound cake? :thud: Would love it! When I got married two years ago on my birthday, I insisted we have a cake even though we were going with a very minimal type wedding, and it was....lemon! It's my favorite! Lemon curd, cookies, bring it on! I'm not crazy about marmalade of any kind, though.

fingerless mittens or full mitts?

I like fingerless gloves, but mittens can be good when it is super cold. Either is good! I'm always losing gloves, too (or dogs steal them and chew them), so can always use them

November 4th

reveal, yes or no?

Yes, please! Well, if my snow fox is willing.<

Any favorite cuddly characters?

Hmmm....don't know. I'm not big into stuffed animals or anything, but would probably like a fox or shiba type stuffed creature!<

Moxie Nouveau groupon?

???Don't know what it is.

what's your favourite colour?

black and grey for clothes, with splashes of color: purple, deep wine red. Jewel tones.

Your favourite gemstone?

amethyst or garnet, though I like most colored gemstones. Citrine is lovely too.

Your favourite animal (real or imaginary)?

Foxes, of course! And snowy owls and ravens. And Shibas! But I love animals in general.

And do you have any intense phobias?

centipedes.

Are you Nano-ing this month, bunny? If so, how would you feel about merch/donations to the cause?

not doing it this year.

Do you like/need boxes for perfume/knicknacks?

no<

November 2nd

Is there any particular holiday DVD that you don't have that you would like to own?

well, I do love A Christmas Carol.

How do you feel about superheros? Are you a Marvel or DC fan? Do you have a favorite hero?

No.

Would my bunny like anything in particular from Lush? I do have access to an actual Lush store, and also wouldn't mind ordering retro items online.

Let's just say this: any and all lush would be swooned over. I ADORE the bubble bars and bath bombs. Anything would be great. Flying fox is a favorite scent of mine, and I love the blue sky and clouds bubble bar.

would you like a

Paintbox

from Paintbox Soapworks? If so, which scents?

I'm not crazy about the soap but would be happy to try some of the other products.

Do you have kids (or kid-like pets) who your fox may want to take into account, either in terms of a little extra goody or simple safety?

I have three dogs, but they don't really need anything, though they are quite capable of trying to steal things!

How do you feel about honey/beeswax? Would you like any?

<I like honey but have a ton. Beeswax stuff, like candles, would be lovely.

Are you a Trader Joe's fan, who either doesn't have a store nearby or just loves their stuff and has a wishlist?

I'm good on TJs, thanks. Have one near.

The Paintbox Soapworks Yules are up, or at least round one is (updates coming throughout the week). Interested in anything?

I haven't really looked.

If I were to place ONE LAST Weenie order, (uh, which I will) what would you want me to include for you?

Check my wishlist for my wants.

Will you be away for any part of the round?

no.<

What type of books do you like? Dying to read anything?

I have an amazon wishlist<

If you like Christmas music (or any other holiday music, for that matter), what kind of style do you like? Traditional? Modern and poppy? Indie?

I'm not crazy about holiday music,

Do you enjoy things that taste like roses? For example chewing gum, turkish delight, delicious goo that you eat by the spoonful out of a glass jar (and they all taste of rose. Yes, we have all these in Greece.)

I would like rose in chocolate! Otherwise, not so much.

Also, same question about mastic. Would you be interested in trying it out? (If yes, any preferences? for example you wold prefer to try the chewing gum, the turkish delight, an Easter bun (I can go hunting, some companies make them all year round although it's not the same as the bakery Easter ones

), the raw resin itself, anything?)

???I'm not sure.....Might be willing to try something small in that flavor.

i live in the city of the chicken wing. if i were to send you something savory, what's your heat tolerance (or sweet and heat for that matter).

Oh, I love wing sauce. I have a very high heat tolerance.

If your fox/bunny were to gift you with a giftcard from anywhere, as in any store foodwise, music wise etc. what giftcard would you like?

Sock Dreams? Some fabulous chocolate place? It would be up to my swapper I think.<

If I were to send you chocolate is there anything I should avoid as in nuts, cherries etc.? Also, what are some of your favorite holiday candies?

I like everything in chocolate unless it was licorice or hazelnuts, and even hazelnuts can be tolerated, I'm just not crazy about them. I'm not crazy about mint and chocolate though. I even like those chocolate creams: you know, ones with lemon or maple or whatever in them. I like nut brittles. Caramels (love love these!) toffee. ">

Does anything from

Fusion Sweets

interest you?

um....all the caramels. the rose infused marshmallows. In fact most of the marshmallows. Oh, and peanut brittle. I love peanut brittle. That store looks very good.

Interested in anything from the Elements and Artifacts Yule update?

not really.

October 30

Dear Snow Bunnies: Do you do a Christmas tree? If yes is it themed or specially colored or do you just have all different ornaments and such?

I do usually, but we'll see this year. I will probably get a small one because we don't have a lot of room. It's not themed--I just put up ornaments.

Would you like a special ornament?

Sure!

Tim Tams. Yay or nay?

Absolutely!

I know some people are squicked out at the idea of eating things that other people make, or the thought of deep fried cookies sends them into cardiac arrest. If you were my fox, would you like to receive some homemade goodies, or would you prefer that your goodies came from the store?

I would LOVE homemade goodies!

Would any Bunny like to receive Holiday serving bowls, trays, platters etc...?

Winter/Christmas or Thanksgiving/Fall themed?

I probably wouldn't use them.

My lovely fluffy Snow Bunny, would you like a bodyscrub made by me? If so, what scent(s) would you like, if you had to think along the lines of essential oils? And would you prefer sugar or salt? A dryer scrub or one that's more oily/moist?

Yes! And recipes for body products would be lovely too! I would probably like sugar rather than salt, and I don't have a preference about dry/moist. I like most EO scents, so any would be good.

Dear snow bunny, do you like candles? if yes, then what kind? scented (what scents), unscented, what colors, do you like them plain/painted on the outside/with decorations attached to the surface/sculpted?

<br style="color: rgb(81, 94, 13); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(243, 246, 225); ">LOVE candles, and use them a lot. I would not want decorations/sculpted though, as I mostly use them as candles! Scented--in almost any scent--holiday scents like evergreen etc are delightful, resins are fabulous, and foody scents are great too. No florals, please.

Also what do you think of little soaps? I know most people don't use soaps nowadays but I love the chocolate/vanilla/cocoa/butter/sugar combo scents that I see at beauty stores

I like good soaps, but don't use little ones much. I like cold process soaps like from Arcana or BPTP or stuff like that. I can always use good, moisturizing soap. I don't like gylcerine soaps.

Socks! Slippers! Do you love them or not really wear them? If you love them, do you also love Sock Dreams?

Yes, yes and I need decent socks rather terribly. I prefer natural fibers, though, so novelty printed socks aren't usually that great a choice for me. (An exception to the natural fiber preference would be for polar fleece socks. I'd like a pair of them!) I'd like some slipper-socks, even though I know they are kind of geeky!

talk to me of coffee. Whole bean? Ground? Flavored, not flavored? Decaf, whole caff? Favorite roasters? Drip, french press, keurig? BRING ON THE TEA?

Coffee, yes please. Whole bean. Not flavored unless it is something mild like cinnamon or vanilla. Drip. Strong flavors (french roast, italian roast etc) are best. I like Starbucks ok, but really love Peets and would love to try local coffees.

I also love tea and consume a lot. Mostly I drink herbal infusions these days. Ginger is my tea obsession and will take any and all ginger tea, but I like fruit teas too, and various herbal stuff. I like flavored black teas. And mate.

Have you tried anything from Cocoa Pink and if so, what products and scents do you like or would like to try?

I wouldn't mind trying ends with benefits again (leave in conditioner?) if they still have it, or trying some of their other hair stuff. Scents I like would be vanillas/pumpkin etc.
