Hi witch, here are my questions so far, but whatever you send I will love :hug:

 

 

Is there a Quote that resonates with you, or that you particularly like a lot. Would this be something you would like artwork made of for your walls or a shirt/bag/scarf?

 

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself. Neil Gaiman

 

Sure :)

 

 

 

Also, STARBUCKS, Yay or Nay? Anything you particularly like?

 

Sure. White chocolate mocha, hot or iced.

 

 

 

Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking?

 

Glambie maybe.

 

 

 

If you happen to find out who yours is, how much would it bother you?

 

Not at all.

 

 

 

Do you use waxmelts or tarts? If so, which ones do you prefer?

 

I use the blocks (Like scentsy) but it doesn’t have to be from them, I usually buy the ripoff ones from Walmart or Publix and they work just as well.

 

 

 

Do you enjoy drinking hot chocolate, and would you like stuff to make it with, or to add to it?

 

Not right now.

 

 

 

Have you ever tried Spoonfudge? Would you enjoy it if your Witch would send you some? Which of the flavors would you like?

 

Never heard of it, but I’m game.

 

 

 

What's your opinion on Moonalisa? Any favorites or products you'd like to try?

 

Never heard of it, but I’m game.

 

 

 

Are there any BPALs that you loved the idea of, the imagery - whether artwork or description - but which didn't work out for you? (I'm asking because if they did, you might mention them elsewhere, but if not, the imagery might be helpful)

 

I got VILF but more for the artwork and it didn’t work on me at all.

 

 

 

Put your mp3 player/online music/itunes/etc on random and list the next 10 songs here:

 

1. I’m Free – Footloose

 

2. Downtown – Lady Antebellum

 

3. Hard Candy Christmas – Dolly Parton

 

4. All over you – Live

 

5. Slut like you – Pink

 

6. Wouldn’t it be nice – Beach Boys

 

My IPOD battery died as I listened to 6 :)

 

 

 

What is your favourite object, that you own, ignoring sentimental reasons for attachment? So I guess something you find beautiful, or fun, or incredibly useful.

 

I’m pretty sentimental with all my things but I love my 2013 Birthday Barbie my DH got me for my birthday, she’s so pretty :)

 

 

 

How big is too big...for something to hang on your walls? If I'm painting you a pretty picture, are there maximum dimensions that you have/prefer?

 

Nothing is every to big!

 

 

 

Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for?

 

Sure, any.

 

 

 

Is there anything from Australia you would like? eg: snacks (yes, you can ask for Tim Tams!), books, magazines, memorabilia?

 

Not picky.

 

 

 

Do you have any problems with swearing or particularly off-color humor?

 

NO. I fucking love it :) I am pretty vulgur myself and love crude and adult humor/stuff.

 

 

 

What style is your sense of humour?

 

See above :) I love nasty dirty humor.

 

 

 

Opinions on table top games, from cards and board games, to dice and rpgs. What do you like? What don't you like? Favorites? Any classics you like? Do you collect any?

 

I love scrabble and clue but my DH doesn’t like board games. I’ve always wanted to get Twister though.

 

 

 

What would you like from the most recent BPAL update? What are you planning on buying for yourself and what would you like to try?

 

Haven’t looked yet.

 

 

 

Is there a literary character you identify with? Even if it's not spot-on, just someone you found yourself having that "I identify with this" feeling?

 

Jane from Pride and Prejudice.

 

 

 

What are the three books you most want to read right now, and which you don't already have?

 

Horns by Joe Hill,

 

 

 

Would you like something from Empire Edibles? (http://www.etsy.com/...s?ref=top_trail)

 

Not right now.

 

 

 

Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit?

 

Postcards

 

 

 

Witchee, I know that SW isn't about what you get... but could you name one thing you would be heartbroken not to get and one thing you would be a-ok if it didn't make it in your box? (i.e. do you REALLY want perfume oil of some sort, or would you be totally heartbroken if there was no Lush in your box, etc

 

Reveal note.

 

 

 

Do you like tarot cards, pendulums and rune stones etc? If so, what type?

 

I’ve always wanted a fairy Tarot deck. I love crystals and stones and candles.

 

 

 

What fandoms do you belong to?

 

None

 

 

 

What cheers you up?

 

Sleep, relaxing.

 

 

 

What is the best compliment you have/could receive?

 

That I’m a nice person.

 

 

 

Would you like anything from an European country? Any particular food or goodies, magazines, books, whatever would be available to your witch in his/her country.

 

I’m not picky.

 

 

 

Do you like bags? If so, what type (rucksack, clutch, shopping bag) colour and would you like/need a new one?

 

I love gas, I always need a new purse (big one) flowers and beads are my fav. Bright bold prints.

 

 

 

What's your favourite comfort food(snack or candy etc) and/or drink?

 

Nothing right now :)

 

 

 

Would you be interested in someone writing out for you a favourite recipe, or finding or devising one which they think you'd like? If so, please provide your favourite ingredients, info on how you like to cook/store and use food, and any intolerances - unless all of these are in your questionnaire, or you don't like the idea. (I'm not saying I'd definitely do this, unless someone is keen, and it wouldn't be the only gift). I guess for other witches this might include something like a knitting pattern - not my thing but would you like that? Or indeed would you like a picture created for you (if so what kind) or a story written? (sorry if this feels a bit Spanish Inquisition!)

 

I love recipes and cookbooks.

 

 

 

If you knew you were going to live comfortably for say 800 years, what profession, calling or project might you pursue with some of your extra years, which you imagine you may not do in the life that you have?

 

Travelling, photography and art.

 

 

 

What colors/style is your kitchen decor? And do you entertain in your home?

 

Browns, red, creams warm colors. Tuscan style.

 

 

 

Are your ears pierced?

 

Yes and I LOVE earrings.

 

 

 

Do you like stuffies/stuffed animals/art doll type thingies? If so, any particular type you'd love to get?

 

YES!!! I collect teddy bears, unicorns, Barbies, faries, My Little Pony sect.

 

 

 

Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!?

 

Not really, they’ll be fine.

 

 

 

How do you feel about traditional picnics (namely the intimate table for two variety)? Old-fashioned basket or something more utilitarian (cooler/insulated bag)?

 

I love traditional picnics but I love modern ones too.

 

 

 

Haus of Gloi did a Reverie update! Do any of them interest you? (Or anything else up currently?)

 

Never heard of it, but I’m game.

 

 

 

Witchee, do you cook? Do you do all the cooking? Is it a chore or a pleasure?

 

I Love cooking although my dishes don’t always work out. I do majority of the cooking and most of the time it’s a pleasure.

 

 

 

Which reading level do you prefer to read in YA or Adult? Or even both?

 

I love both.

 

 

 

If you could have one rare bpal which one would you choose?

 

Not sure if this counts as rare, but I would love to try/have a bottle of Fairy Market.

 

 

 

(Feel free not to answer, I know it's not a standard one!) Are you kinky?

 

Yes. I won't elaborate too much but I love toys and games and "movies" and clothes. So does DH.

 

 

 

Do you enjoy scented candles? Certain sizes that you like? What kind of scents or brands?

 

Yes, any size and brand. I have warmers so wax cubes (like Scentsy but Wal-mart sells them too) are always great too.

 

 

 

Thoughts about South Africa? Have you been here, would you like to go? Would you like to receive anything South African?

 

I'm originally from SA so I love it, my mom sends me tons of stuff so I don't necessarily need anything right now.

 

 

 

Do you like Sockdreams? If so, what styles would you prefer?

 

Love them, any and all.

 

 

 

Do you need hair accessories? If so, what kind or color?

 

Always. I love plain and pretty or bright and pretty. Anything really.

 

 

 

What is your favorite shade of blue?

 

I'm loving navy right now.

 

 

 

Do you have any kitchen gadgets (a SodaStream, a Kuerig/Tassimo) that you want mix things for?

 

I have a SodaStream.

 

 

 

If you were to start learning something new (intellectual or craft or hobby), what would it be?

 

If I had the time or money I would love to learn to play the drums.

Yes, a Nook color, Sure.

 

 

 

If your witch is an extremely crafty sort, and she were to send all kinds of homemade foody goodies and handmade crafty stuff - what are items you would NOT LOVE to receive. Please dont hedge on this one...some of us are serious crafters and will be making most of what we send!

 

No food creations at this time (because of my condition) usually I would say yes, but rather not ;)

 

 

 

Witchee dear, do you like video games? Are there any you want to play? Do you have a large library?

 

Not really. DH has a PS3 and I'd love an easy girly game to play.

 

 

 

Do you have something you do, without fail, as a personal daily habit/ritual? (Examples: pen-and-paper journal keeping, tea/coffee drinking, morning yoga, nightly bedtime reading. I'm kind of thinking on things that would be dear to you and might need small supplies or could use certain extras. )

 

I used to keep a journal a night. I really want to start a meditation/yoga routine but that probably won't happen.

Never heard of it, but I'm always game.

Do you like Lush? If so, what is your favorite product that is currently available, also, what is a product that you love but has been discontinued?

 

Only ever tried it once. I like anything berry flavored.

 

 

 

Do witches prefer the answers posted here, but a more cherry-picked number of questions answered, or a more exhaustive list posted in the blog, which means posting here much less?

For those of you whose wishlists contain only BPALs, are there any other perfume companies you like or would like to try out?

 

I'm easy, will try anything.

 

 

 

Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends. And if you had them and dislike them, can you name a few *other* tea companies you're into?
