    Honey: well honey and i have a love hate thing. I really love sweet rich flower honeys liek cloer and apple. But they do weird thigns to my sugar. I do a seriously manic buzz then i colapse into an almsot coma state where i am Unable to wake up. It scares the hubby when even pinching me dosn't wake me, so i don't eat much honey.
     
     
    Is there anything you've been wanting to learn that your witch might be able to help you with?
    As i said i would lvoe to learn hand quilting and would be willigbn to TRY easy knitting.
     
    Do you like coffee? Whole bean or ground? Bold/Medium/Mild roast?
    ewwee, why coffe dosn't taste as good as it smells is such a mystery. So no coffe please.
     
    So you have enough socks and wraps... (shush, VCW!) Are there any other knitted goods you might like? Lap blanket? Fingerless gloves? Arm warmers? Little knitted animals? Silk scarf? Head band? Wrist cuff? Dish clothes?
    No i don't have enough of these thigns EVER
     
    What are your favorite materials? Or material things? Some people like jewelry, some like woods, some plants...
    I am not so much as a material as a texture. I Love well doen wood work that is waxed and feels like satin. I LOVE the texture of silks and satins, it really a part of who i am. I will always stop and pet somethign that i think will feel good.
     
     
    Are you interested in Tarot or Tarot art? in a weird twist my tarot cards jsut got demolished by my spawn. Part of which is because they were just in the card board box i got them in. I have always had the plain cards. I would love some fancy types, but what i culd really use for these would be a deck keeper of some such.
     
    What would you think of soap samples/shampoo bar samples? (I believe the latter can be used as soap if you are not shampoo bar inclined). Or other sample sized bath/beauty products, for that matter?
    yep yep, I tend to gift these aroudn myself. I can't resist hitting lush and getting all kinds fo slivers to try.
     
    What about burnables as in candles, tarts and/or incense? I like candles and such. I have no things ot do with tarts and such. not sure what they actually are. But if i were to be gifted things to put them in then i am sure to at least try it.

    catch up

    By therhoda,

    Are you in need of decanting supplies, wand caps, or other scent-related paraphernalia? Oh i could use bottle caps with glass wands, thsoe are love. But what i really USE And need more of are pippettes. I use those for getting my oils into anything i might mix up from conditioners to massage oils. (i love gothic rosery's unscented stuff for these endevors)
     
    Pets: What do you have, and do they need/want anything? I have two cats, they actually love little balls of fur. So they can pretend to be mighty hunters
     
    Twilight fan? uh no, got 90 pages in and was DONE. Add in working in a book store over the chirstmas season and well , jsut no
     
    Based on Prior Carnivale act prototypes...which one are you truly excited about? N/A i havn't had a chance to looka t any of hte reports on these
     
    Would it bother you if you are not the first person to receive the same gift? Imagine a Witch who always sends her favourite book, for example. no, I would be happy with favroite books. I ahve sent them myself
     
    Does your feline like catnip? Yes
     
    Salt soap bars (soap made with a large quantity of salt, like salt-scrub-in-a-bar)? sure this is a good thing
     
    How would you feel about homemade jelly/jam from home-grown berries? as long as they didnt' have the dreader strawberry in them, I am all good
     
    Homemade dill pickles? Made from cukes, beans, snap peas, baby zucchini? Yummmy dill pickles
     
    would my future witchee like to receive steampunk style jewelry? sorta, the thing is i have issues with jewrly that is sharp, pointy or can in anyway be impaled on me. When i was younger i got a cross impaled in my chest. Been anti sharp pointy since.
     
    Tea. How do you feel about it? I feel i can never have to much apply herbal of it. the whoel tea allergy really make questions like this hard.
  3. therhoda
    Would anyone like bath bombs or bath melts scented with one of their favorite Bpal scents?
    OH man i would ADORE any of my favorites. If i could soak My head in something liek Host of Air (my latest favorite for which i HAVE no back up imps or bottles) I would be ecstatic
     
    Would you like homemade cinnamon buns or sticky buns?
    i only eat cinnomon buns when i am pregnant, Hubby catches me eating one he would make me pee on a stick
     
    Is there anyone here that likes Hello Kitty or any other Sanrio Characters?
    Nope those things give me cavities
     
    Do you play any online games, like World of Warcraft? If so, what server do you play on, what's your character's name, etc.?

    Is there a program you might have missed or show you love which is gone from the airwaves which might be found (or burned) for you by a Witch?
    oh man, I would LOVe to get my pitty paws on Witchblade, I adored that show.
     
    Would you like any recycle/upcycle supplies for your crafting?
    Umm as i said before i don't craft, i would like to try as i said but so far nadda
     
    So what are people doing with their saturdays so far?
    to day was the youngest second birthday, my IN LAWS were here, enough said
    Ok, for all you shower people, would you like BPAL scented soap? Or how about BPAL

    waiting for you witchy

    By therhoda,

    As i wait for a witch of my own, I am trying to correct my last witches problem of not enough info. I may be over compensating but Hey this is getting fun in its own way. Today at work i saw something and though of something i have always wanted but never been able to find at a price i could afford. Ever seen the candles that when lit the wax doesn't get to hot so you can Play in he bed room with them. That may be TMi but really its something i have always wondered about so i thought i would throw it out there.
     
    In the I am COLD vein of the last week. High today was freakin 28. I went to sockdreams again. Such a dangerous store (its all ursula's fault her and fabulous glove fetish work) I would KILL for some Large thigh high socks to prowl around my house in. As for color choices you can never go wrong with black and anything bright, if a bird of paradise might put it in his nest then in all likely hood i will love it.
     
    really witch i am just trying to put out ideas, be aware that if you just think of me and talk to me you are in all likely hood going to have a very happy witch on your hands.

    the first

    By therhoda,

    Okay I spent most of today trying to do two things, BPAL related. FIND my Imp of Snow, Glass, Apples. It had disappeared from where i had thought it was. THe other things was get the Final THREE packages from the dear yoakenokami from last round. I didn't get it done yet again. *hangs head* the most awesome present and they STILL can't get photographed.
     
    Anyway I started this because i have lost my wish list. Lost it somewhere in that thread of doom. If you dear witchee have found it please send me an anonymous hint where it can be found. Actually my lsit of BPAL wants is small at the moment. I am waiting on 4 decants from the halloween but I was without internet when it went up and i had to do it by someone reading them to me and i missed two i would like. Sooo heres my latest want list.
     
    Autumn coolness
    MICTECACIHUATL
     
    and I know this is crazy and i wouldn't expect it But I am so wanting more Snow, Glass, Apples. One imp of this is never going to be enough.
     
    Also if anyone wants to get to me but not have to talk to me. *pouty face* Then you can always ask my dear mentor for this round Ahania, who is holding my hand rather well so far.

    question answers so far

    By therhoda,

    What kind of candy/sweet treat would you like to receive? I like sour gummies, reese cups and cherry stuff
    Would you personally rather get handmade jewelry or the beads to make something yourself? Made but please no sharp or pointy edges. I once had a small cross get impaled on my collar bone and it HURT
    12/4
    It seems like there are quite a few knitting witches, so I assume they are on the Ravelry forum as well. If so, what are your names on there so I can stalk you? Sorry not crafty
    Speaking of which, how many Browncoat witches do we have?? And if you are, would you be interested in getting a Kaylee parasol? If not, would you be interested in getting a paper parasol hand painted with your favorite colors?
