BPAL: Hurricane

Hurricane Category: Bewitching Brews Quantity: sample   Description: HURRICANE The Dark Side of Air: a high pitched, tangy, clear scent -- light China rain deepened by murky vetivert.   Review:   In the bottle: It smells delightfully fresh and herbal, with a strong note of bright vetivert.   Wet: It’s still very herbal, but it turns almost floral (that might be my skin chemistry acting funny again). It smells like rain falling on fragrant herbs.   Dry: It becomes warmer as it dries, the murky, almost smoky, aspect becomes more obvious.   Verdict: It smells very masculine, fresh and clean. I think this might be a good suggestion for men who don’t like a cologne or perfume that smells “too much”.   More reviews: Bewitching Brews: Hurricane

BPAL: Oblivion

Oblivion Category: Sin & Salvation Quantity: sample   Description: OBLIVION Salvation found in darkness beyond darkness, the blessed sleep of nothingness. Dark musk, wood spice, labdanum, patchouli, dark African woods, and saffron.   Review:   In the bottle: I know I’m not the only one who mentions the colour of this sample, but... It’s green! It’s spicy, musky; and yet, I smell a mix of wet wood and patchouli.   Wet: It’s still warm, spicy and woody, but with an herbal quality, from the patchouli and labdanum, with a note of saffron.   Dry: Suddenly, as it dried, it turned into peroxide (I’m not kidding), to come back to spicy patchouli. Of all the skin chemical reactions I’ve experienced so far, this is the most unusual...   Verdict: Well, at first, it reminded me of my father’s cologne when I was a kid; then, it turned into something medical, to finish as a spicy man’s cologne. Since it has such a strange reaction on my skin, I think I’ll leave the final verdict to men...   More reviews: Sin & Salvation: Oblivion

SW Fall 2011 questions from 9/19

September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?:   Oh, probably all sorts of things. My 10 under $10 post from yesterday is a pretty good example.   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you?   As with before-- no nail polish for me, please. No time/place to wear it to.   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way?   I'm not a fanatic but I do have constantly dry lips and almost never have a lip balm on me, so this is probably a great present, heh. Something that would definitely get used. No real preferences on container type, all are fine. Flavors: probably less fruity (reminds me too much of little kid lip balm), more spicy. Not minty please.   Beeswax does not bother me in lip balm.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork)   Sure, though I don't have a fountain pen so ink would only be pointful if you sent that too. I love drawing with a fountain pen but haven't done it, oh, I don't know, a decade?   -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream)   Sure, that could be cool. Watercolor is another thing I haven't done in several years. You may be surprised to hear (ha ha ha) that I really just haven't made much art since my son was born.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)   Very positively! There are a few things I'm really set on (colored pencils, chalk and oil pastels) but other than that, I dig art supplies.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?   Love to browse Threadless, almost never buy. See yesterday's response about t-shirts.   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up?   Hm, I dunno. I almost never go to the drug store. Probably diaper wipes for my son (he wears cloth diapers but I just can't get into cloth wipes), cough drops for me, and then Clif Bars with the remaining balance.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature?   Sure! I like pickled everything. I'm not as big on canned fruits (prefer most fresh) but I do love jam & preserves. Dried fruit is tasty too.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract?   Black and white usually. I really like portraits of people.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works   Sounds kind of cool.   Amigurumi, yes or no?   Aw, I love amigurumi. So cute. Again, my kid will steal anything of that nature from me.   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!   I really like Van Gogh's later stuff. You can almost see him descending into madness, which is sad, but which I can relate to.   Not a painting exactly, but this is one of my all time favorite pieces of art: I eat them by the handful. I've always thought that the guy has paused mid bite and just wondered, how did I get here? What am I doing here? Why am I eating flowers?   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?   I don't know. Sorry, I am very bad at answering these types of questions!   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles   Not really into scented candles. (And can't really burn candles, as previously mentioned.)   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea   Chai, any Ku-ki cha Pu-erh (not fruit flavored, though, because that is a horrible idea)

Catch up as of 9/19/11

What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: I'm not sure. I know there are lots of little things, but I just can't think of anything off the top of my head. I'll try to start jotting them down when I think of them.   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I don’t wear polish     Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I LOVE lip balm, and I can always use more! I like trying new places and flavors and I like the twist up tubes the best, although tubes with wands are ok, too. Just don’t get me the kind that I have to stick my fingers in to apply. Ick!   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) No thanks, I don’t really have a use for them.   -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) I’m not into painting.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I can’t think of anything that I really need or want right now.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I don’t wear t-shirts a lot, and I have more than enough.   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Sparkly pink, grey and taupe eye shadows, candy, a book.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? No thank you, I do a lot of that sort of thing myself.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? I like color and BW, depending on what suits the photo best. I like nature photos a lot!   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Sure   Amigurumi, yes or no? Maybe… Some are really cute.   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I really don’t need anymore tshirts right now.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Like pumpkin scented a lot, especially if it isn’t overwhelmed by cinnamon.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Not really my style/   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. TIM TAMS!!!!! The Black Forest Tim Tams especially! That was the most wonderful/horrible thing anyone ever sent me! Wonderful because holy hell are they delicious, horrible because they make me consider moving to Australia a rational solution to obtain more! Also, Cadbury chocolate is yummy.   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).   SOCK PREFERENCES? Love socks. I’m a bit of a sock whore, but I’m a picky whore. I have one calf that is larger than the other, and makes any socks that go much over my ankles uncomfortable. My favorites are the really soft fuzzy ankle socks.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? No, My poor toes would freeze.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? No, I’m with the can’t stand anything between the toes club.   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I’m really looking at the Bridesmaid Unrated movie that is coming out today.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I would be thrilled beyond words to get post cards to cover my fridge with! I’d be happy to send post cards off to the world, too.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? No.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Not my thing.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Most definitely! I love to hang things on my walls! I like nature and animal scenes the best, either B&W or color is good. My favorite photos that I have are of the Northern Lights.   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I definitely cook at home, and I’m a cookbook junkie. I’d like to get a few more candy cookbooks, as that is the section that is lacking in my library. I can always use potholders and dishtowels. Right now I’m also in need of a new candy thermometer.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Hehe. That’s my question! Please don’t send me maple syrup. I haz way more than enough. Dad cooks it every spring. This year was a bad year, and he complained that he only got 58 gallons… I’m not sure who he’s planning on having over for pancakes…   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) I like the idea, but I’m not sure what would connect for me.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I saw them, and enjoyed them, but don’t need to see them again. And here is a somewhat embarrassing confession from my childhood: I saw the original Star Wars movies at age 8 or 9, and my parents got me a Star Wars bedding ensemble, I had the biggest crush on Hans Solo, and would kiss his pillow every night.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Yumm! Beef jerky! Any jerky except goose. The goose jerky was good, but my stomach didn’t like it. I like the thicker softer variety.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Racy is fine, and I don’t need a warning.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Sorry… Nay. Never watched it. Although with all the fans around here I think I should check it out.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? Again, they would probably be wasted on me.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? No thanks.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Gummies are good, especially the sour ones.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? No thanks   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I’m definitely in the cartoon crowd. I don’t like creepy.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Only pierced ears, and only once in each. Earrings are always welcome   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? I feel that there are other people who like them much more than I.   interested in anything from Lush? I have never tried anything from Lush. I’ve looked at their website, and a lot of it looks neat, but I wouldn’t know where to start. The only thing that I know that I don’t want is any of their bar soap. Other than that, if my witch has a favorite, or something that she thinks I would like, than I would love to try it.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I don’t. I subject the SO to pages long emails, and would hate to have to force them on anyone else.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Absolutely! I usually have 3 or 4 books going, and can never find a book mark when I want one.   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Sure! Both are yummy as is plain old Chex mix.   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. No Groupons in the middle of nowhere.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I like the idea of them, but I’m not sure what I’d do with one. As for the designs, again, I like them, but if it were on clothing or jewelry I wouldn’t get much use out of it.   Who here adores meringue? I’m ok with it, but it’s not something that I lust after.

September 19 Hummus!

Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? LONG WINTER FARM FTW!!! I’ve got several of these favorited in my etsy list (where I’m MissGingerMoneypenny), and I personally can never have enough lip balms. I need one (preferably more) with me everywhere I go.   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? Love, love, love! Nail polish is my other addiction, and I would die of happiness if my Witch made a polish with me in mind I’m totally ok with chemicals in nail polish, and glitter (holo and non) is also awesome. Nail polish of all colors rocks my boat, but I have a special love for reds, pinks, corals, and purples.   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself? Mix CDs! Lip balms.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? No thank you   Would you like/wear a pair of yoga socks? If so, what color? While I love yoga, socks get in my way. It’s a mental thing I think more than a physical one.   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I love t-shirts, particularly graphic ones, and if my Witch were to make me one, I would squee so loud you could hear it ‘round the world. I like phrases and funny pictures on my shirts (I saw Warrior last night, which was awesome BTW, and am coveting a shirt that says “Soul of a Lion” on it, but in less douche-y writing than the one in the movie, lol!) I wear an XL usually (my knockers get in the way. I really need to find that Team Boobies icon).   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? No thank you   For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? I’m very not arty, so this would be wasted on me.   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? Again, this would be wasted on me :’(   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? They’re not really my thing. I prefer the shirts from Think Geek, to be honest.   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Nail polish, really good dark chocolate, and maybe a few trashy magazines.   Thai food? LOVE.   Random things I would like that aren't likely to fall under another category:     Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Yes, although it might be prohibitively expensive to send to me.   Do you prefer color or black and white photographs? Nature or abstract? All the things!   oh WITCHEE (not that i have you yet) would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works I’m not even sure what it is. I signed up to see if I could find out what it was all about, and it wanted to bill me first. That seems way too sketchy for me, so no thanks Amigurumi, yes or no? Yes!

Switch Witch catch-up questions September 18-19

September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I wear t-shirts, but now that the weather is changing, not so much. Also, my drawers and closets are pretty full right now, so I don’t think that adding more t-shirts is the best idea.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... It depends on what else is mixed in with the pumpkin. I’m not the biggest fan of straight pumpkin, so I’m happiest if there is some spice mixed in with it. I think pumpkin shaped things are cool, though!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? It’s a cool idea and they look nice, but I didn’t see any that really resonated with me.   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. I hear that Tim Tams are fantastically delicious! I also like Cadbury chocolate, and I’d guess the UK might have some good Cadbury stuff that doesn’t show up around here. If you’re a nail polish fan and you know of some great duochrome, holographic, or glitter polishes that aren’t sold on American soil, I’m always up for new nail polishes! The pictures of a-England’s Lady of the Lake polish that Scrangie has on her site look pretty sweet, for instance. And most of all, if you happen to be in a used bookstore and find any Ouran High School Host Club or Maid Sama! books in German, that would be the best! I see them on eBay so I know they exist, but I haven’t yet taken the plunge into buying them.   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I have just the standard desktop Mac set-up with wired keyboard and mouse, nothing fancy. I’m not particularly interested in Apple-related items; I like my Mac just fine, but I’m not a member of the cult of Mac by any means.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? No thanks. I don’t do yoga, and I want my socks to completely cover my feet.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Not really. I’m pretty much a sock traditionalist.     September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Sealing wax and a wax stamp! I’ve wanted some since college; I don’t know why I’ve never just gone ahead and bought them.   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? Yay polish! I’m fine with chemicals – I have a lot of great older polishes from before they got rid of all that noxiousness. I’m wearing Amber Ruby from Sally Hansen’s Nail Prisms line today, and before it dried, the smell was ridiculously strong, so I’m guessing it’s chock full of chemicals. But so pretty! Check it out on Scrangie’s website if you want to see! Glitter would be great; holographic glitter would be fabulous! I tend to like dark colors, but if you do something with bright lime green, I’m sure I’d love that too. I’d also love to see a black with red glitter in which the red glitter actually shows up strongly – I’ve been disappointed so many times before….   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? Lip balm – such an irresistible temptation! I have more lip balms than I’ll ever be able to use, and yet I Keep. Buying. More. I like the twist up tubes best, and I’m on a seemingly endless quest for the perfect cherry flavor, whether it be sour cherry, black cherry, or just plain old cherry. I hate banana (I don’t know if anyone even makes a banana lip balm, but I hate even hypothetical banana!), and I don’t really like strawberry. Favorite brand-wise, I really like Haunt, Bunny Butt Apothecary, and some local brands like Bee All Natural (yummy cinnamon!), Kelly Hansen’s (I’m loving her cherry and root beer lip balms), and Mirror Lake Organics. The Morbid the Merrier’s Harlot (funnel cake flavor) is also delish! The Long Winter Farm stuff looks tempting, especially gingerbread, red currant, toffee, white chocolate, and lime. Really, I’m all set with enough lip balm for years, and yet will always happily make room for more.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) I’d love a fountain pen! That’s another thing that I’ve always wanted and yet never actually gone ahead and bought. Other than that, I’m pretty much set on art supplies, because I love them so and always buy them.   For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) No thank you. I prefer acrylic paint, plus I actually have some watercolor paints and watercolor pencils already.   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Like I said, I’m pretty well set on paints, brushes, colored pencils, crayons, pastels, paper, etc.   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I’ve seen some that I liked, but I’m pretty well covered for t-shirts right now.   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Probably nail polish and eye makeup! I stopped into Walgreens tonight to pick up something and walked out with a new Revlon eye shadow that I absolutely didn’t need but couldn’t resist (Night Sky, if anyone cares. ) Now I’m contemplating going back tomorrow for the Facets of Fuchsia nail polish.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? I don’t eat many vegetables, but crunchy dill pickles are yummy! Fresh canned peaches would be lovely – I actually toyed with the idea this summer of buying a lot of peaches from our farmer’s market and canning them myself, but I’ve never canned before and I’m not good in the kitchen, so I never followed through with it. Canned pears would be fantastic, too.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Color photographs of nature, whether scenery (autumn colors and waterfalls especially!) or animals.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Sounds fun, but I’d rather pick my own or have my wonderful Witch pick out something!   Amigurumi, yes or no? Yes, yes, YES!!! Love amigurumi! I want to learn to crochet just so that I can make amigurumi. I almost bought Creepy Cute Crochet just for the pictures, even though I can’t crochet at all. A quick look at my wishlists should reveal how I feel about amigurumi – I have a whole bunch wishlisted!   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Cinnamon, mulberry, and natural beeswax   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea 1. The Republic of Tea’s Cardamon Cinnamon 2. Depending on my mood, either Triple Leaf Tea’s ginger tea or Lipton’s Ginger Twist. 3. Right now, it’s a toss-up between Stash’s Mojito Mint green tea with matcha and Celestial Seasonings’ Candy Cane Lane.

SW Qs part 3

When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? I wear Velvet (the perfume) when I'm PMSing, because there's something comforting about it and it's one of the few blends that smells good still when I'm on my period. Staying in bed or on the couch. Loving attention from boyfriend. Chocolate and ice cream.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Fancy, expensive cheeses. Nice, handmade Bath and Body products. I saw some people mention pedicures/manicures, I've never gotten a pedicure and would feel very uncomfortable paying someone to touch my feet. I do think getting a facial would be nice, I've never done anything like that.   What do you really NOT want? Dollar store items, things from Oriental Trading Company. DVDs or CDs.   interested in anything from Lush? I've tried a few of their soaps before and liked them. I browsed their website and nothing jumped out at me specifically, maybe because of the prices (30 dollars for a conditioner??) but I'd love samples.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Definitely do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? I don't think I've had this but it sounds good.   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. Sure, but it would have to be for a place *in* Portland. Because I don't have a car and often it's just too much of a hastle on TriMet to get somewhere. I've never used Groupon but it looks like they have cool stuff! No fast food please. Thursdays are the best day for me to be able to redeem deals as that's the one day I have with my family, MOST of the time so restaurant stuff would have to be Thursday. Actually, if Witch should just check with me that I'm available to take advantage of something... do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Yes I do! I would love some real ones.   Who here adores meringue? It's yummy   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I love to do both. Cookbooks are great, recipes, kitchen stuff in general is awesome. I will think about it more and update my w/l for specific items.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? I tried real maple syrup a couple years ago and now I never eat the fake stuff.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Wow! I've never heard of these but I think the idea has a lot of potential. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Nope.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I don't eat beef jerky often so I don't know what my preferences are but I do LOVE it. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I'm not sure what constitutes a racy ecard but please don't send me anything pornographic! A warning would be great not because of work but because my daughter could be in the room.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I haven't seen it, should I be watching it?   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? No   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Yummy. How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? No thanks Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I'm kind of into cute vintage things, but not Disneyish necessarily. Creepy is good though.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Only my ears and yes, I want all the earrings. (nothing really heavy, would just be uncomfortable)   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? They look good   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? No   Does anyone like postcards? Postcards are good, I like to hear from my Witch   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Not that I know of right now, but I hope something comes up! It's hard to work it out with work and childcare.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I do not. Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Hmm.. see amazon w/l for my aesthetics. Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Sometimes Medium for women's but Large is safer. Small in men's. I hate words on t-shirts, no words! A shirt designed by Witch might be neat.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Yes!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Their pendants have text on them, in general I do not like to wear text.   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. Foods!!! SOCK PREFERENCES? I KNOW I've answered this before (so many of these are redundant) but I like, in general, anklets and midcalves and I'll sometimes go for knee highs but not often. Tights and leggings are good as well. I think toe socks look uncomfortable but I've never tried them.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Link doesn't work but I don't do yoga.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I've never had a pair but I think I might find it uncomfortable.   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: I need a pumas stone. How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? Does this mean making your own nail polish? That sounds like fun. Glitter is awesome. Chemicals are ok. Colors- I'm not sure until I try them on really. If I don't like the color my daughter can wear it.   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I like lip balm but I'm not obsessed or anything. Non flavored please. I'd rather try some lipsticks.

Links for my witch

Etsy NSFW! for the women's shirts a 3xl will fit me.   Knitpicks (ignore the quantities on this one, even one ball of any of these amazing yarns would be awesome)   I would love gift cards to: amazon.com yarn.com teefury.com threadless.com sockdreams.com zoya.com transdesign.com rhlindsaywool.com lush.co.uk     I will update these lists and add more as we go on. If you want to know something just email/pm me! Or ask it in the switch witch thread, I have been keeping up with that fairly well.

Art Qs

Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? I have a pretty big DickBlick wishlist, so I think that answers this question. For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint itself? That would be really cool!   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Art supplies are always welcome! I work in pencil/ink/watercolor. I also do lino cuts and paper-crafts.   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I love them but I already have too many tees. ;_;

Switch Witch question - H'ween 2011

My previous question entry from earlier rounds is here. Updated for Summer 2013 round.   Franken polish? I don't really know what that is. I don't often wear nail polish, but I'd be okay with being enabled.   Lip balm? I prefer the twist-up tube. I currently use Burt's Bees - I've got one tube of colorless that I wear most days and a couple tubes of a deep orangey-red color and a burgundy color that I wear as lipstick. I don't really like the lip balms that have a flavor.   T-shirts? Yup, I wear t-shirts. Usually XL - I've got huge...tracts of land, as they say. (i.e. big knockers, for the non-Monty Python fans). I'd totally be down with one designed by my witch.   Pumpkin-scented things? I don't really like pumpkin-scented candles; they smell too fake. I love to eat pumpkin, but the scented stuff just seems fake to me.   Glamourkin? I don't know what that is.   Toe socks? No, I don't like having things between my toes.   Order out or cook at home? I prefer to cook at home, though I do order out when it's been a long day. I love kitchen stuff, all kinds.   Gummies? I'm not a big fan of gummy candy.   Gela-skin for my phone? I'm likely going to be getting a new phone soon - not sure what kind - so I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of this. The iPod I use is my boyfriend's, so I'd feel weird putting a different skin on it since it's not mine.   Ears pierced? Other piercings? I have my ears pierced, and my nose double-pierced (two holes close together on the same side of my nose). I've been looking for small continuous rings for my nose in silver or steel. I have ones that are supposed to have a ball in them, but the ball never stayed and the dumb gaps are always turned out weirdly.   Whoopie pies? I've never had one, but I'd try them.   Anything from Lush? I've never shopped there. A witch got me some stuff from there once. I liked it. Sorry, that's not much help, is it?   Do you blog? Would you like a header? I appreciate the offer, but no. I do graphic design, so I've got particular ideas about how I want the redesign of my blog to look.   Handmade bookmark? Sure, I read A LOT - that'd be nice.   Chex puppy mix? NOM NOM NOM   Groupon? I'm pretty particular and my budget is pretty tight, and since they often require spending some money, I'd have to say no.   Sugar skulls? Sure, I like those.   Meringue? Blech!   Personalized bottle cap labels? Sure, though I only have about 6 bottles.   Puzzles/riddles? I like to do these when I ride on planes. I'm not a fan of cryptograms, but I like sudoku, crosswords and logic puzzles.   I think I answered most of the ones that I didn't answer on the forum. Some of those that I didn't answer are for things that I'm unfamiliar with or didn't really have an opinion on.   This blog makes me sound very contrarian. I'm really not!

I usually buy the kind in a tube. Right now I am using Blistex. I like the ones in the green tube and the orange tube. I'm always up for new kinds. I like mine to be kinda thick. Stuff like Lip Smackers is way too thin for me.   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?: Most of my closet is t-shirts. And most of them are black. I have a lot of shirts with skulls. I would love a shirt from my Witch.

Switch Witch Fall 2011, questions from 9/16-9/18

September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?   Yes, but not as much as I used to. Between nursing (t-shirts generally not useful) and working in a business-casual environment (t-shirts not professional enough), I just don't have a whole lot of opportunity for t-shirts and probably won't until... oh... 2013? Sigh.   I am super large chested and don't like things particularly form fitting, so if it's lady-cut, I need an XL or even an XXL. In men's shirts, I can do anything from a M to an XL usually.   Most of my t-shirts are band t-shirts, but I like any sort of cool design... I'm not really into witty phrases on shirts though.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....   Heh. One look at my Etsy list should tell you you're perfectly safe if you decide to send me pumpkin scented things.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?   Pretty, but probably not my style...   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from.   Sure! International foods are always a win in my house, and any sort of vegan thing I can't find here is a treat... if my witch happens to be in France, I love reading French Glamour (I can't explain it, it's just much funnier than US or English Glamour) and would always welcome a copy of it coming my way.   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).   I have one of the early rounds of MacBook Pro, 15". I have a wireless mouse, but almost never use it... I actually really like the built in touchpad. Peripherals mostly seem like a pain to me with a laptop.   Apple paraphenalia is cool but I don't have a huge need for it.     SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?   Toe socks kind of freak me out. Sorry! I love other socks though.   ---------------------------------------------------------- September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?   I don't own a lot on DVD because I don't rewatch movies very often... however, there are a bunch of things on DVD that I'd love to have for my son. The Lion King, maybe Aladdin, Mary Poppins, that sorta thing... kid classics.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?   I like postcards and am always happy to get them.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?   Argh, not me. The last time I saw live music was before my son was born.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?   Yes! I lost interest around DS9 but loved the recent movie. Bones is my favorite from the original series, and I love all the engineers from TNG. And Tasha Yar. And Dr. Crusher. And even Wesley. I grew up watching TNG and it's very very nostalgic for me...   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?   Hmm... not really! I don't have much wall space open at home and have way too much stuff waiting to be hung up already.   ----------------------------------------------------------   September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific?   Oh, I love both. (You may have gathered by now that I... I really love food.) But for my wallet's sake, we eat out/order in a max of once a week unless there are extenuating circumstances, like having out of town visitors...   I'm always interested in more cookbooks, especially vegan-specific ones. My Amazon wishlist (think you can find it by searching my real name) has some on it, and there are tons more I want but haven't added yet.   Cooking implements/kitchen utensils - also a resounding yes. Always on the look out for more containers (food-safe plastic or glass, or even tin or something fancy like that) that'll work for storing things like flour, nuts, lentils, etc. I buy a lot of stuff from the bulk bins and always need more containers... in basically any size you can think of.   Silicone spatulas - I'm looking for more single-piece ones. I had a lovely set that had wooden handles & silicon tops, aaand the wooden handles are really pretty gross after five years of heavy use.   Nice/interesting dishes... plates or bowls or whatever...   Chopsticks of any variety   Small cake pans... like < 9 inches... for making smaller cake tiers.   Um, I could keep going in this vein for a long time...   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?   I feel pretty neutral about it. I don't go out of my way for maple things and it's not one of my favorite flavors, but I don't hate it either.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm)   Cute! My kid gets into my backpack a lot though (anything that's mine is fascinating, of course) and would likely find and mangle it.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?   The original 3 are some of my all time favorite movies. I found the first one of the prequels so repulsive that I have never brought myself to watch the other two.   I've been hot for Han Solo since like, before I knew what a crush was... and am also a big Yoda fan.   Do you like beef jerkey   Nope.   I'm okay with vegan jerky but have access to a ton of brands here, so I'm probably all set on jerky!   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work.   Almost all of my computer use these days is at work, and I work in a cubicle where my monitor faces a busy hallway, so yeah... no racy e-cards please!   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)   Yay! A hundred times yay! I love old and new. I think Tom Baker was my first crush. (Either that or DeForest Kelley.)   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package?   Sure!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel?   Nope. I have to confess I've really never gotten into either.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?   So, two things... 1. Most gummies have gelatin in them, so they're right out for me. 2. I actually work in a gummy factory (really! gummy factories have computers that need support too!) where there are lots of vegan products, so um, I'm probably already way too spoiled with gummies.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?   Sure!   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney?   I don't like grotesque or gory. A former witch sent me a pamphlet of pictures & descriptions of sideshow freaks, and it made me really uncomfortable. Please don't send me something like that. Not really into death imagery either, I am way too aware of my own mortality these days and just not into it.   As far as fairy tales go, though, I do prefer the original, darker versions of most.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?   No piercings, no plans to become pierced. Thanks but no thanks!   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?   Positively!

More Condiments

September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?   I do wear t-shirts, but rarely. I’m more of a blouse person (lately, mostly because of my unweildy upper body size.) Size wise, I can never really tell. Large at least, sometimes x-large. My bra size runs at 38 G, and I’m not really used to it or how to size it. I would LOVE sometime designed or created by my witch though    How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....   I lurve pumpkin. I can’t burn candles in my apartment technically, but everything non-burny is good.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?   Never heard of it before. Upon googling, I find it intruiging. I’m not sure it is exactly my style but I’m sure I could find something there.   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from.   Stroopwaffles. A million times. Forever and ever. Actually I just love international candies and sweets. I’m a big sucker. But like anything funsies that is representative, or fun from your area is wonderful!   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).   Not a mac userrrrr.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Ankle, midcalf (trouser) or knee high. I like soft and sweet. Colors vary.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?   Huh can’t access the link :/   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?   Never, uh, tried it?   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?   All kinds would be wonderful. I’ve been dying to get Sweeny Todd (the new one, I have the original musical), Pan’s Labyrinth, and a dozen other varieties of movies. I love horror, fantasy, scifi, romance, comedy, action, suspense/thriller.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?   I do love post cards! I could probably Nacho witch DC post cards… I think.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?   Unfortunately I rarely get out to see concerts any more. But I do see musicals sometimes. Hopefully some of those this year    Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?   Yes, TNG was my fav. Is all good. My fiance likes Deep Space Nine (that was one of the ST right?)   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?   Sure! Nature. Landscapes, forests, rivers, streams, waterfalls, flowers, meadows, etc.     September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific?   I used to cook a ton, my new work schedule has been hurting me. I would LIKE all kinds of cooking things! Especially cook books. Especially YOUR recipes! I am looking a lot for things that are quick/prepared ahead of time since my schedule allows little time in the evenings. I am currently mostly gluten/soy/dairy free so that would be fun too (but don’t be afraid to send me foods with these things. This is lifestyle, not allergy.)   I would kill for a microplane zester, a mandolin (I dunno how spendy those are), silicon baking stuff  Probably other goodies tbh.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?   I love real maple syrup and all its derivatives.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm)   That is actually very neat. I think one that could help me “get in touch with myself” (recurring theme in my life, getting in touch with myself, accepting myself, viewing different sides of myself, merging parts of myself, etc.)   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?   Original, definitely. Prequels, I can stand. I LOVE the books. Exar Kun is my favorite evarrrrr. I’m DYING for the Star Wars MMO. Eeeeeeeeeee.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)-   I do like beef jerky. I like them thicker and softer, but not uh, too soft., Kinda medium I guess.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work.   I do need to be warned, yes    Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)   Nay. Well, I really never got into it, and when I did try… I just didn’t really jive.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package?   No thank ye.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel?   Yus preese. And anything else Joss Whedon.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?   ^ all of the above.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?   Iphone, and that sounds fun!   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney?   My fairytales are dark brothers Grimm. No spiders though, please.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?   Yes to ears, no to other. And sure, if it is sterling silver or higher level gold. Nickle allergies suck.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?   Yum      September 15th   interested in anything from Lush?   I’ve never tried Lush /bashful.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?   I wish I had a nice blog. But I’m awful at updating /shrug.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark?   Yes! Yes yes yes.   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch?   Oh, sure!   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also.   Yes! Nothing sports related please. Spa, Salon, Restaurants, shows, are all awesome. Home services are not.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs?   I’ve never seen one but I hear they are lovely.   Who here adores meringue?   Mmmmm.   September 14th   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!)   I’m kinda simple. A night/weekend/week whatever in a nice hotel, eating out at nice restaurants for every meal and maybe seeing a show or a local venue or historical place or wine tasting or summat. Being able to take my time, be luxurious, a hot tub or BIG bathub. So nice.   What do you really NOT want?   Kitschy things are not my fave, or small plastic things or knick knacks without a purpose. I already have a ton of clutter. I would also prefer nothing with spiders, parasitic creatures, licorice, grapefruit, or cannibalism.

10 under $10

Hey there! I thought it might be fun to make a list of less expensive things that I would absolutely love to have in case you're looking at the $60 necklaces on my Etsy wishlist and freaking out. (Dear witch, I absolutely do NOT expect you or even want you to buy me expensive stuff... everything on my Etsy wishlist is there for aesthetic ideas and well, just in case I win the lottery or something.) So here you go, 10 treats under $10:   1. A bar of Arcana's Filthy Viking soap   2. A bar of dark chocolate, such as Vosges Enchanted Mushroom Bar, which I've been dying to try but always wuss out on... (If you could find one of the miniature bars of that mushroom one, that'd be amazing. I only ever see it in the huge bar.)   3. A reusable coffee filter for the Melitta cone I use for coffee at work. Something like this.   4. A bubble bar from Lush or elsewhere. I've wanted to try Ice Hotel for years but just haven't gotten around to it... I also think this one, this one and this one from Etsy sellers all sound lovely.   5. Wide satin ribbon in a mocha-y color, 5 or 6 yds. I don't have a link for this but I'm guessing that if you buy it online you can find this for < $10... I'm looking for some to finish a baby quilt with.   6. Clear glass ornament balls for making Christmas ornaments with, any size. (This is our first Christmas at home instead of with my husband's family in eight! eight! eight! years! So we have no Christmas decorations and I want to make some...)   7. A yard (or half a yard) of fleece fabric in a fun print, like this or this or this. I'm going to make Christmas stockings for my kids (really, ask me what holiday I'm most excited about this year) and am on the lookout for funky fabrics that aren't just red or green or Santa Claus printed... I might make matching hats with the fabric that's left after stockings!   8. Some tasty chai, like Zhena's coconut chai, which I've had and love dearly, Good Earth's Original (maybe decaf?), which is a long time favorite, or this one with rose petals from Etsy which I haven't tried but which looks really interesting...   9. A roll of reflective tape for augmenting my bike & helmet with... I bike to work around 5 a.m. every morning and am always looking to improve my visibility and snazz up my bike while I'm at it.   10. Some silicone cupcake liners. Another one of those things I've been meaning to get around to but just haven't...

That would be very cool.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Yes!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? Yes. I like to hike, take walks, swim, climb trees, and explore. Dancing and walking are my favorite exercise.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Uh no idea   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? I don't work at a desk but cute office supplies are still useful and awesome.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Yes. I love Chicago, Repo the Genetic Opera, Sweeney Todd and The Rocky Horror Picture show. I would love to see The Producers.   September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? Yes sticks but I would love to try resins. The scents I like are citrusy, spicy, medicinal, earthy, rose, lavender.   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I'm fan but not a huge fan.

Um I really have no idea.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? THERE ARE SO MANY O.O Myths involving Odin, or any of the toher gods I have listed below in another question. I adore reading all sorts of folk tales, fairy tales and ghost stories from all over the world.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! Oh man do I love me some RP. I have a few OCs that I would LOVE to see art of but I will put links up to something descriptive of them soon. Dear Witch if you wanna get or do art of my OCs let me know through a Ringleader and i will give you more info on them that way so I don't have to make this any more draw out lol. But her is a list an short descriptions: That Man- Friendly night club owner that is WAY smarter and sneaker than he acts. Sam-Modern day detective that styles himself as a noir detective. He is such a lovable wanna be grump. Hesiod- That Mans dad. A greek farmer that is older than he looks (so are his children) and a lot savier than he appears as well.

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! This question is way to open ended for me lol.

I listen to music, play video games, take a walk, pet my cats, talk to my mom.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I love comics. You should see my t shirt drawer and my computer room lol. First things first. I am a DC more than a Marvel fan. That being said I am really pissed at both companies. Marvel has pretty much destroyed everything I loved about their universe growing up and now DC has pretty much done the same. (and yes I know there are quite a few things in the update that are unchanged but quite a bit of what I love is gone). Now ignoring the bad choices made by these companies my favorite DC titles are: Secret Six, JSA, Gotham Sirens, Birds of Prey and random stuff here and there. More importantly my favorite characters are: Alan Scott, Wildcat, Jay Garrick, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two Face, Plastic Man, Bane, Captain Boomerang II, Booster Gold, John Constantine, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Scandal Savage, Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, Creeper, Metamorpho, Green Arrow and too many others lol.

If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I have grown a veggie garden twice but really din't put the amount of work into it that was necessary for many reasons. (i.e. tools and such) A starter garden kit would be amazing. I want to grow veggies of all sorts, what fruits I can, herbs for cooking and that are cool to have, and flowers for the bees, moths, and butterflies. Things that caterpillars feed on would rock.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I try my best to. I tend toward a little of all of the above lol. I really do like retro Halloween stuff though and cute monster things and elegant candles and lights, and scary stuff for outside. I really need to make a scarecrow or two this year. With pumpkins for heads.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Anything related to Odin to start. Things related to Raijin, Fujin, Ares, Baron Semedi, Hermes, Hades, Poseidon, Artemis, Hypnos, Morpheus, The Oneiroi in general, Apollo, Helios, Tlaloc, Mictlantecuhtli, Xipe Totec, Huitzilopochtli, Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Loki, Thor, Freya, Frigga. honestly I love mythology and These gods all mean something to me but the ones most precious to me are underlined.

I adore glitter, pearl and metallic polishes.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? It's not that we don't care We just know that the fight ain't fair it just sums up my views.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... First off I know it would be a jar candle, it would smell like a big mass of minted fruits, and be rainbow with excellent throw.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Indeed I do as well as crocheted stuff. I would love striped scarves, striped arm warmers, mittens, striped finger-less gloves, striped socks,shawls, ponchos, and animal hats. I stay cold all fall and winter so knitted warmies are wonderful. As far as colors go rainbow (gay pride style is fine but you are extra win if you include indigo since I love it so much), striped autumn colors, orange, cyan, indigo, teal, mint, purple, dark red.

Snack mixes are awesome and I love dried fruits veggies and jerky.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Persephone is the first one that comes to mind but honestly any GC on my wishlist lol. Then again I am paranoid lol.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar?

I like most animals but honey bees are my favorite.   What are you going to be for Halloween? I've been thinking about being Matches Malone.   If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) I think I would rather have an actually wall painting. I painting of all my favorite deities.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? I love them but I really don't have room for them....unless they are heroclix or action figures lol   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? Dressing up on Halloween, going out on Halloween, going to my friends house for the holidays. I don't really have many traditions and you know what it kind of saddens me.   Do you like going to the movies? Only if I REALLY want to see the movie. What are your favorite restaurants? There is this really great Indian place in the town over called Sahib there food is amazing and I am acquainted with the owner and he is a nice dude. Then there is Earth Fare not really a restaurant but they have a deli, bakery, and hot bar and honestly there food is some of the best I have ever had. Scratch Bakery has the best pizza I have ever put in my mouth. Miyabi is the best Japanese food I have ever had in my entire life. They have excellent udon, and a sea food nabe that is AMAZING.   Do you play any video games? Yes I indeed do. I play mostly pc games these days though I do still have my PS2, GameCube, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and a Wii. I am in sore need of games for the NES since they all disappeared.

That would rock! Hmm, neat recipes for holiday foods and ethnic foods.   Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? Yeah my imp box is full now lol.

SW Questions direct from my witch

Do you like any sorts of fairy tales, or just the Disney kind? All fairy tales! I have a battered copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales that I borrowed repeatedly from my grandparents when I was a child and they eventually gave to me because I had it most of the time anyway. I also love to read fairy tales from different cultures - the similarities across cultures are always intriguing. I love reinterpretations of fairy tales as well.   Are baked goods with Stevia in them ok to send to you, or absolutely no stevia/sugar/anything? Stevia is a-okay, but Truvia and PureVia are not, as they have erythritol (a sugar alcohol) in them, which kind of defeats the stevia-ness of it. Honey/maple syrup/agave are also nos - they won't kill me, but sugar and things that act like sugar on my system make me super-anxious/depressed and greatly impair my ability to get shit done.   Do you like Dia De Los Muertos/Sugar Skulls or anything like that? I like them alright, I just don't know what I would do with Dia de los Muertos stuff when it wasn't Halloween time. Though if it was on something else I collect, like a mask, it would fit into an existing collection.   It also appears your links for Etsy and BPAL wishlists are not working. The links for my witchee's BPAL and Etsy wishlists weren't working either! Here they are: BPAL Wishlist Etsy Wishlist Amazon Wishlist   Do you prefer the kind with the long tail, or the kind that fits like a beanie? Either way, as long as there aren't bobbles on it. I just have two beanies now (one teal and one black - it makes me look like a cat burglar), and I've never found one with a long tail that doesn't have a bobble on the end. Bobbles HURT if you sleep on them.
