    Arcana Halloween update

    By therhoda,

    Okay I came across a review of the Arcana weenies. And some of them Sound so GOOD. I want Samples SO many samples. It is the apple really I am a sucker for apple scents
     
    ones I REALLy want as as follows-
     
    Apples Crave Red Musk - this is a rhinestone housewife exclusive so i doubt anyone can get sample but it souds like apples of LOVE and MUST
     
    Apples Crave Terror - really really curious if this smell like it sounds
     
     
    one i want to sniff but am not dying for
     
    Sabbath Eve - this sounds kind fo like Hellhound which i my Go to scent
    Nererids - Apples again
    Marble Flowers - it sounds like a grown up scent for people to wear when having to be adults
     
     
    So there in case you wondered
     
  5. therhoda
    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!!

    damned enablers!

    By therhoda,

    Okay in typical SW fashion i have now stumbled upon the weird and fascinating Fyrinnae cosmetics. I LOVE this concept but i have NO idea where i would get started OR how to do it. BUT Witchy i would LOVE some samples of this!!although i would need their pixie epoxy to keep it on with. Or a make up base of some sort as i am soooo not up on make up stuffage.
     
    so far the one i WANT the most is Daemon’s Tail as it sound FABULOUS! not sure i have anywhere to ACTUALLY where it but i would SURE try it out and wear it around the house. I also love the names and colors of Rapunzel had extensions, Oberon, and shinkirou.
     
    As always this is just an idea of my color choices and ideas.
  11. therhoda

    dear witchie

    By therhoda,

    I would like to admit right now that i plan on talking to you. I hope you have found this blog at some point and so i am not TALKING to myself.
     
    I fell into something in etsy today. i DIDN'T know they had fabrics. I happen to have s SLIGHT addiction to bright colored fabrics. My main problem is i can never figure out how to DO something with them. it has been my intention for YEARS to find someone that will explain a way to use my fabric horde. I am a magpie as you will see from what i put in the amazon list tonight. The problem is I want two things from a quilt. I want it to be pretty and i want to SLEEP under it. these are rather Mutually non sequators to each other. I am sure i could MAKE the top of a quilt, but i have NO IDea On how to go about backing and filling it.
     
    Sooo it has always been this thing i will do. I have 25 YEARS worth of jeans to be made into something and three drawers full of the brightest and funess cottons.
     
    So there witchie an idea sorta.

    9/4/10
    Are you into Austen's books?  Umm no, although if you had an Old battered copy of pride and prejudice that i can try and read again i have been told to try again now that i am older
     
    Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I did but I lost my deck last year to the Girls who thought they were just big playing cards. I would love a new set, but they would need a nice box that I can put up unnoticed
     
    So for those of you who are into Harry Potter at all, which house do you think you'd be sorted into? I am a Ravenclaw through and through (I used to miss the bus because I was sitting there reading when it came)
     
    What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure?I have to admit I watch Mythbusters about
    any time I watch an actual SHOW. But my guilty pleasure is Palidia chanel with all the concerts. I LOVE live music and having it on my tv is an extra bonus
     
    If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? Hummm as a largish person I try NOT to go out in public but I would love one of those bright scarves to use while I do my belly dancing exercise
     
    Celebrity crush?:Keanu Reeves, followed closely by Brad Pitt with orlando Bloom hanging around for effect.
     
    Knitted things?:YES, although I am sensitive to itchies with some fibers. BUT I have to say one of my not so secret wishes is for a LONG ravenclaw scarf for me and a slitheren on for the hubby
     
    What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs?hummm never had a mixed dvd what is on that?
     
    DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? You philistine how could you even mention formatted in my presence
     
    Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? I like both, the only thing is I like to listen to mix cds in the car which dosn't do mp3s
     
    Do you like scented tarts? I don't have anything to do anything with them not against them just not sure what they Do
     
    Lip balms? yes but only really good balms. A past witchy set me up with my lip stuff ( mylipstuff.com)and I have been in love with it every since but I am almost out with winter in Ohio approaching
     
    Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? Sorry the only thing I have is pieces ears and I am always on the look out for new studs that my ears won't eat.
     
    Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some I lvoe booze and any that come to the house will be drunk by someone
     
     
    What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) humm I love lots of artists but it is the pieces not the artist themselves that draw me in. I love the early works of Kim McElroy ( http://www.spiritofhorse.com/ ) her illusionary horses are in person just amazing. I find her more recent stuff and her new world view a little wooo woo. I live to read about what ever Ursula Veron ( http://www.redwombatstudio.com/ )has come up with to do this time. I adore this woman and some day will make a pilgrimage to a con shes attending just to shake her hand and thank her for all the laughs I have had since following her lj all those years ago. If she ever does DO the hamsutra I Have GOT to have one!! I like bright gorgeous colors but I also like classics such as van gogh's sunflowers and starry night. Monet depending on the canvass. I like color and I like it In your face. Humm I wonder if this answer makes any sense to anyone not me.

    I Cant Cheat

    By therhoda,

    Aggh I cant cheat now and just redo past blog entries with all the goodies my witch might need. NOW i have to try and round it up from scratch. i will work on it but no Promises Witch of mine
  21. therhoda

    i caved

    By therhoda,

    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.
  22. therhoda

    i have been poked

    By therhoda,

    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.
  23. therhoda

    i'm dealing

    By therhoda,

    Sorry witchie to worry you. I have to admit i am a bit bi-polar when i am up i am bouncy when i am down i m rather well dead sloth like. I have been trying to give up caffeine again this past week i spent mostly in bed trying to be conscious for anything I HAD to do. it was not pretty. 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.
  24. therhoda

    Its That time again

    By therhoda,

    SO it is again the time for Switch Witch, the best time of year I think.
     
    here is where i shall shove things like updates on Life and of Course questions I don't want to clutter up the thread with.
     
    Pumpkin? No keep this Fell squash and all its stink nastyness away from me
     
    Booze? Why of course booze

    Want anything from Yellowstone? Be it postcards, key chains, shot glasses, pint glasses, or huckleberry what have you? I want TO GO there so bad. 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
