    thank you, kindly witch, for reminding me that yes, there are other things I need to do via SW besides gather shiny stuff! And please let me apologize for how rusty I am. The last year and a half of my life have literally been a whirlwind.
     
    behold, all the ketchup I could find:
     
    September 10th
     
    What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?
    Maynard James Keenan from TOOL
     
    Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?
    not really, I've edited myself down to just a handful of bath and body purveyors
     
    If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat?
    Madamoiselle Minue ( my American Long-haired Calico mistress ) LOVES it when I get packages from Bpalistas, she loves the scents. So yes, I think she'd love something for herself in one. No dietary restrictions.
     
    What are your top three
    Storyville, Dead Man's Hand and Quincy Morris. and I just realized that you probably don't have my Scentbase account info, so here it is: https://scentbase.com/kristana
     
    Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of?
    I adore Edmund DuLac. and I have nothing on my walls yet, we just moved in.
     
    If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? I am very pale and my hair is sort of a honey hue. Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? yes but they are expensive so I feel bad answering this. Guerlain meteorites and Chanel Cherries in the Snow ( but I think that one is discontinued)
     
    Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?
    I am a black tea whore. I am not into coffee as much, I am in Europe so I am addicted to freshly made cappucinnos.
     
    Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer?
    My son is a drummer so any music he or I want we almost immediately get.
     
    Are you going away for any part of this round?
    sadly no
     
    Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch?
    sure! I think I have a cd player in my husband's car
     
    September 9th

    If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality!
    that question is too epic for my coldmed addled brain

    bond with Minue, have some tea and sit on the terrace

    I'm reaching up and reaching out,
    I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.

    Your Witch is perusing the wares at a local yard sale. S/he looks down and sees [insert impossibly rare item that you've always wanted but could never afford] with a $5-10 sticker on it. Sheepishly s/he takes it to the guy behind the folding table. "Do you know what this is?" s/he inquires. The gentleman states that it belonged to his mother/sister/grandmother/Great Aunt Beulah and he thinks it's for, like, hair or something. With a trembling hand, s/hes pays the man and heads home with the inconceivable riches.

    I want to apologize to all the new members/lurking members who may have oils that I'd like to buy, or swap for. Sadly I won't be able to do so because of the actions of ONE member of this board and the lies she is getting away with to the staff here.
     
    This sucks, because I really enjoy buying/swapping oils here and I am very sure that almost all of you are honest people whom I'd love to get to know. However, I won't risk it because one bad person has left a very bad taste in my mouth.
     
    Once again, I'm so sorry.
