Wife, Mother, Gardener, cook and Wine & beer Enthusiast.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Sure! They're illegal to sell in my state. I like rum. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Love it, but I live in a warm climate. Most things will melt during shipping.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? No thanks. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Hair gloss. Does anyone like kimchi? not really. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? One of everything! Especially the nail polish   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I have yet to try something I don't like from here. Everything is fantastic.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes LSU and the NO Saints. I'm very passionate about sports!   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I like it, but I horde it, so I don't need any.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Some sparkle is ok...   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I've never received any of MeiLin's work.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? It would be hijacked by my toddlers, but that's ok. I prefer handmade plushies. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? No thank you   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Soup, tea and snuggling on the couch with my kids/pets   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Private island.   What do you really NOT want? Candles, tarts, nasty old imps (unless they're wishlist imps)   September 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I love kitchen towels. I like bright vibrant colors. Think Fiestaware colors.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Umm... the last time I dressed up was for my wedding 3 yrs ago. Pics on my facebook. Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I love word searches   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Fleur di lis.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? loose leaf green tea is my fav.

SW Questions!

September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup.   Not if they are really expensive, but I could use a couple make up brushes, especially for eyeshadow.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I used to have a little Snape figure that was really cute, but overall I was never into LEGO.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Oooh tough...I'd probably replace my Last Unicorn and get Prince Lir...that's a bit over though...I might get a back up of WILF, or take a chance on one of the Weenies 'm on the fence about.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love: MANY. I usually like things primarily for the characters, so this is hard for me. Identify with: Aziraphale (ChildofTime says he's the closest to me you can get) T-Rex from Toy Story Bridget Jones   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I'm not crafty...when I knit all I think is MUST NOT BORK DIRECTIONS COME ON BRAIN   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I can't do Arcana- thier carrier doesn't like me so everthing goes rancid smelling. I just stick to BPAL because that's bad enough. EDIT: Arcana scrub or soap would be fine, though!   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?   I wouldn't want anyne to come to my house (because it sucks) but I'd love to meet for lunch or a coffee or drinks/dessert!   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Covered! Though I might think of more...   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've never had any, but it sounds cool- I won't buy something if it isn't 3-free but it wouldn't bother me if you used something that wasn't. I like shiny and crazy colors, because I only do my toes.   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 rarely use lipbalm, because I'm picky. I also have Long Winter Farm lipbalm which I like because it isn't greasy- hate the feel of sticky stuff on my lips and hate the smell usually, but not hers. I'm open to enabling, though! Pots or tubes, doesn't matter. I had some from the Savannah Bee Company I liked that was in a wee pot but I don't know what happened to that.   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) These would be wasted on me.   -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) Can't paint   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Mostly these are a waste unless it's for something you know I do, but I LOVE paint-with-water books- not sure they still make those but I loved them as a kid.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I love nerdy shirts! I've never bought from Threadless, though, so not sure of sizing.   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? Sticking with Big Advil and maybe some candy, or a packet of Goody hair elastics (need them for work, and they have a high attrition rate).   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Probably? I've never had homemade pickles or canned goods, but I do like food.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? This really depends on the subject, but I like black and white and the old sepia toned pictures. I like most kinds of photography, but I'm not sure about abstract stuff.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works The concept is fun but I don't really use that kind of stuff.   Amigurumi, yes or no? YES   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! Hmmm...I love ancient Etruscan tomb painting, Titian's Venus of Urbino, Minoan art...I migh have to add to this later.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? DORK ALERT- some of my RPG characters!   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Apple vanilla/lavender as long as it isn't plasticky or really strong warm foody things that aren't too sweet or strong Oh man...the Bath & Bodywors Autumn candle is the PERFECT candle scent!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Teavana strawberry blooming tea light, fruity tea Irish Breakfast type tea that is mellow and comforting   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 would love a T-Shirt, witch-designed or otherwise. I usually need a 2X...I like girly Ts but I can't wear them except I can wear the Post's tissue T in a 2X and it looks good...so I only buy the Lunacy T if it's worth forty bucks, but at least it's hot and comfortable. The only one I have is Moon of Horses.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... I don't seek it out but I wouldn't be opposed. The Lab's pumpkin note is usually death for me, and apple is my autmn scent of choice.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? These do look cool; I'll put any that strike me in my etsy faves.   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. Paprika Pringles or other European snacks (or thse delicious gummis from Asia). International ghost stories in English. UK editions of favorite books for the variant covers.   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'm not a giant Apple fan so I wouldn't need paraphernalia...I have a shitty wireless keyboard and a nice non-wireless gaming mouse.   SOCK PREFERENCES? Knee highs or over the ankle- knee socks have to be able to withstand 20+ inch calves. I love handknitted socks!   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Nah I don't do yoga.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I like them but don't prefer them to standard-toed socks.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I have a few in my amazon. I wish like hell I knew what happened to my 3rd seasn of Supernatural, and I've been thinking about Tangled but not hard enough to spend money (also I should add some things I need to replace because I only have it on VHS).   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I do like postcards!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Nope.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? It's OK...ChildofTime really likes it so I'm familiar, but it's not my thing.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Sure, but I'm not sure what of. I like ruins and abandoned buildings, or whatever you enjoy photographing.   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? Let me tell you- it was my turn to make dinner the other night. What did I make? If you guessed "frozen chicken nuggets and toast, and two hours late" you'd be correct. So I'd usually rather go out.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?   Yum! Although I actually really like the cheap fake shit too.   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)   Those are cute if you like making them, though I doubt I'd actually carry it I'd be flattered if you made me one.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?   I liked the original trilogy but the new ones have sort of ruined them for me.   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)-   Yummy beef jerky...I like the tender kind, sweet rather than spicy- teriyaki is delicious- and I usually try to get it without a ton of suger added.   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 open mine at home so fire away. Unless it's going to shriek PEEEEEEENIIIISSS really loudly or something.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Yay! I like Ten the best.   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- I love stickers even though I don't have many uses for them.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel?   I've never seen it, because the people I knew who liked it were kind of annoying about it.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?   I looooove gummis.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?   I'd love a Gelaskin for my Nook!   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 creepy threshold is pretty high, but I don't like anything too gory or slashy/zombie. I like some cute Halloween things, but I do take it seriously as a holiday so I like it to have some teeth.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?   I don't have any piercings open right now, so no.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?   YUM   September 15th   interested in anything from Lush?   I got kind of mad at Lush and haven't gotten anything from them in a long time. I could use another brick of Rouge henna, though, for my hair.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? don't have a blog.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? 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? 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. These are hard because most of the ones for Richmond are 30 minutes or more away from here, but if you saw something good it would be nice.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Not really, but I like the dancing skeletons.   Who here adores meringue? It's ok but there are other candies I like better.   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? No...I don't think I can.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I don't drink a lot of liquor, but I'd be open to some if you think I'd like it.   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I love fudge, but no nuts! Brownies are good, but they'd have to be no wheat, so fudge is better.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Don't know what it is!   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Just about everything, I think.   Does anyone like kimchi? EEEEWWWW!   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Maybe?   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Too big- probably one of everything, no joke.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? About all of it! I love paintbox, especially the scrub, and I'm really after Indian Summer, but I like most everything from there.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Don't like any sports at all.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I don't really need them, unless you find a nice notebook for my RPG notes.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Glee, until I have to clean it up.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I bought Lovers and Beloveds when I got my Nook, but I haven't read it yet.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in?   I like them, but I really, really have no space for them. I'd only make an exception for small/handmade ones of something crazy.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Those are cute, but we already have our bottles labeled.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Sleep and hot showers, soup, grilled cheese, or breakfast food. Once I'm feeling better I like Disney movies or some other familiar visual entertainment or a good book. I also like to have my sinuses rubbed when I'm stuffy.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) The Witchery What do you really NOT want?   September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Decorative things I might not be able to use as much, but kitchen gadgets are good.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Last Halloween (yeah I don't get out much) I was a bridesmaid in my best friend from high school's wedding. It was sort of Celtic/faire garb for us, so I had a really pretty outfit- a purple and wine bodice from Moresca, a dark gold shift, and a wine colored satin gathered skirt. I also finally got to wear my Carnivale mask from Venice.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Yes! I have a black and white Nook- the touch screen kind. It can do several formats, but the ones I know are EPUB and Nook. It's kind of annoying to gift them, though, because you can't send them directly from Barnes and Noble yet.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? Only a fur child for me!   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Sure- I like messenger style bags the best. When I go purse shopping I bring a hard cover book to make sure it fits.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Labyrinths, and I'm not sure what you would do with this information but I like the meanders and other patterns used on ancient pottery. I also like moons.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I would love that! I used to have one that I loved, with Titania on it from the Globe Theatre (A Midsummer Night's Dream is special to me because it's our anniversary of getting together- we actually celebrate it more than our regular wedding anniversary, so I really liked having the mug have imagery from it) but it either got lost when we moved or is in one of the boxes we had to store. Either way, I'd love a new mug, especially a fantasy-ish one.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I like bagged tea. Loose tea is nice, too, but I'm too lazy to fix it usually. I like flavored black and white teas, green is ok, and I don't really care for red. Decaf and regular are both fine.   September 11th   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I have no problem with anything used except for some clothing- shirts and jackets are ok, so are shoes, wouldn't really like any sort of pants though.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? No to the first, and not many to the second. I haven't used etsy much during SW.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? Neither extreme- there are some things Disney that I really like, others less so. Beauty and the Beast and Tangled are my favorites, and I also liked Hercules (well Megara really) and Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet.   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Peppermint Batties! Also Peanut Butter Pumpkins. And I like Mellowcreme Pumpkins, but I only need a few of them per year. I also like caramel apples and pumpkin bread, which aren't really Halloween candy but I only get them in the fall.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like both but I mostly use soap, either paintbox soapworks or Villainess. I like pretty much all kinds of scents except florals. I have some in my etsy favorites if that helps.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Peanut butter, caramel, and mint are all good. I also love salty chocolate, and even liked the bacon chocolate I had once. I like exotic chocolate but I don't like it really dark.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? They are pretty but I wouldn't have much use for them.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Salted caramel is AWESOME.     Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Sure, though I'm not sure what you are describing. I'd like a scarf? Purple is my favorite color, and my winter coat is chocolate brown.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? They're nice but again I wouldn't have much use for them unless they were special for some reason.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I love Think Geek- I have a few things from there on my amazon wishlist but I like lots of things from them.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I've never heard of Pinterest before, so it's safe to say no.         September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Actors: I really like Benedict Cumberbatch, at least as Sherlock, Alan Rickman, David Tennant, uhm...that might be it. I don't get really obsessive about this kind of thing. Author: I get everything by Sarah Monette, and I usually check out Joe Abercrombie, Patrick Rothfuss, Neil Gaiman, and Terry Pratchett. I also obsessively check for any sign of life from Scott Lynch, because I want the third book but I'm starting to think it will never happen. Musician: I like P!nk and Lady Gaga the best, but I wouldn't say I was obsessed with them.   Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Not particularly. The candles might be nice, though. If they made them into Smooches I'd be more interested, but their soaps aren't as big a deal to me.   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? Spot, my cat, likes anything made of wool- even more than catnip- and he likes soft cat treats. He doesn't really have any dietary restrictions but he only has one kidney so we try to keep it free of ash and lower sodium.   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? Sorry, mine are mostly hard- I really want Sugar Skull atmo spray and some properly aged Queen of Spades, Looking Glass bath oil (any of the limited bath oils, really, except last fall's Treatsy and Tricksy). An easier one would be Knave of Hearts- I don't want to buy an imp of it but I really want to try it.   Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? I like dark fantasy or pagan-y art, anything short of giant would be fine. I also like classical type things.   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I'm not really into make up but I like to play with it a bit- I usually get MAC or Urban Decay. My skin is fair but not usually the lightest available, gold/pink tones to it. I really need a good facial cleanser and moisturizer, so I'd be open to enabling with that.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Tea yes, coffee no- I do like to experiment with tea.   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) mp3 or CD (I rip CDs onto my computer). Nothing I can think of unless you have access to BWO CDs or mp3s- I like them, but I can't get them in America.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Probably at the very end I will go to visit my parents for Thanksgiving, and I might go somewhere for Halloween weekend but I'm not sure.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Yes! I love mix CDs.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Of course!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I don't like being outside that much, but I do like walking.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Nothing comes to mind...   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Not really, unless it's super awesome- I have a desk but it has two computers on it, so space is a bit of a premium, and I don't work at a desk.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? I like them, but not to the extent that they would make a good gift, I don't think. I've been listening to some of The Book of Mormon because of a friend of mine, and that's pretty funny.     September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I actually don't like incense at all, I'm afraid.   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Yes, definitely a fan- I'm a Slytherin!   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Let's see...Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sephora, Think Geek, Villainess, Paintbox Soapworks   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Oooh lots..I like the labyrinth, Persephone and Hades, really drawng a blank on this right now but I love myths and fary tales. I also love urban legend type stuff- one of the reasons I fell for Supernatural.   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!   I would love this- I have several beloved RPG characters I'd love to see. I'll tell you what; if you would like me to describe them al out, let me know and I will. Otherwise I won't, because it wil take a long time for me and bore you stupid if you aren't interested in it.   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!   I'd like to see the Library of Alexandria, or I always say I'd have the Doctor take me back to see opening day at the Colosseum (though I'd start to cry when they started killing the animals). I'd also love to see Hogwarts, a real unicorn, and Helen of Troy.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?   Oh lots of things, depending on what's going wrong. I like to go out for ice cream or something indulgent (I do like food for comfort, sadlly), have a nap, a hot bath with something bubbly/fizzy, or I'll read to go be somewhere and someone else for a while or play a game. If all else fails, there is always a good cry.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?   I loved Poison Elves, but it stopped coming out when the creator died. I need a new one to follow but I lost track of X-Men years ago. Grendel sounded good from the new perfume line.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?   Not musical at all, but if I could choose an nstrument I'd pick guitar.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?   I don't have anywhere to put a garden- the extent of my gardening is leafing through the Breck's catalogue.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?   I don't really decorate for Halloween except for a pumpkin or two, but I am most drawn to elegant with a creepy edge.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?   Not really. I mean probably but I'm having a hard time putting anything into words.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:   I like them but I actually wouldn't be that excited to get one as a gift.     September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?   Hooo...let's see. I wasn't sure enough about anyhing to order a bottle unsniffed, which is a unheard of for me. I will probably buy Halloween Las Vegas, and I want to try Pumpkin Princess even though I KNOW it's a terrible idea because pumpkin never ever works on me. I also want to try Catrina Calavera, Vampire Bride, the Sonnet D'Automne if that's the right name. There's some stuff from the Post I really want though- Spun Sugar Spectre, Strubwiese soap, Orchards of Hell and Autumn Harvest Room sprays, hair gloss and Seraphim's Tears bath fizz. I'm also one of the lucky people that got Crypt King, but it hasnt come yet. I'm definitely buying Spun Sugar Spectre on payday, but everything else I'm not sure about.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?   I'm not hugely into it but I do like it- I like fairly crazy colors because I only use it on my toes. The only kind I have is OPI, often from Sephora. There's one from their Glee collection called Hell to the No that I want- it's a slick purple with gold shimmer.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...   I like jar candles. A nice autmny apple would be nce- eager to see the Pos candles go live but I probably won't guy any right away. We bought like 5 jar candles from Yankee Candle 7 years ago and none are even close to used up. I like fruity and non-extreme foody scents, hate florals.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?   Oh yes! Socks are great, and I'd also love a shawl or scarf.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics?   Sure, though I'm not sure what specificaly. I love bread and crisps?   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying?   I've bought most of mine, but I think I want Tombstone, Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, and most of the Last Unicorns.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I only ever mooch off ChildofTime's Ravelry because I don't knit enough to keep my own.   Social Media?   I'm ow1goddess on Twitter, bt I don't use anything any more.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?   Just my amazon and etsy lists- I don't use any other perfumes, f that's what you mean.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac?   Mac     What is your favorite animal?   My favorite specific animal is Spot, my kitty. I love cats, horses, penguins, Luna moths, and just about anything cute.   What are you going to be for Halloween?   Probably nothing. We don't do much for Halloween. In a pinch I'll be Molly Weasley or just wear my Faire garb.   How do you feel about nick-knacks?   Only if they are super duper awesome, because I have very little space to display anything.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?   For the Fall, I always read scary books. I reread The Shining every October, for instance. I used to visit with my best friend and carve pumpkins and watch The Crow but Halloween is her wedding anniversary now so I'm not sure what we'll do.   Do you like going to the movies?   Yes! I don't do it often, though, because I have to be really sure I will like the movie.   What are your favorite restaurants?   Chipotle, Umi (upscale sushi place), El Patron (Mexican place near our house where they will come make guacamole AT YOUR TABLE), Bruster's (ice cream place)   Do you play any video games?   Yes- I used to play World of Warcraft a lot, but now my computer can't handle it. I also love Neverwinter Nights, and I have an XBOX 360. I like RPG types- I have Dragon Age but haven't started playing it yet.   Do you like any anime?   I used to like a lot of anime but I haven't watched it much since college. Two that I've been meaning to watch are Princess Tutu and Bunny and Tiger.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for?   I have a nice case from Sewkawaii on etsy for my Nook, but I do want to get it a Gelaskin.   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be?   I don't wear jewelry that often, but a prety necklace would make me happy.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?   Recipes are good, but I will be passing them on the ChildofTime, since she is the cook.   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?   I need another bottle box. We have four now, I think, and we still have overflow, plus two of those boxes aren't even painted.   Muppets: yea or nay?   I do like the Muppets- can't wait for the new movie.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?   Not really- we don't get the paper so I haven't followed comic strips in years.   Favorite Mythological Creature?:   Unicorn!   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers?   Not for me!

Switch Witch Halloween 2011

October 23rd   would you still want the project if it was a craft fail???? Hee hee! Definitely! I'm sure it can be useful in other ways!   October 20th   Do you need any winter wear, witchee? A warm hat or headband in place of earmuffs would be nice! My ears really hurt if they get even a little cold or exposed to wind.   I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it? Oooh! Sounds great to me! I always go pumpkin crazy during this season!   Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? Not to have? Not really.... Well, I wouldn't wear oranges or yellows very often. That is, if it was a solid orange or solid yellow.   October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? I like scary books, but I can't do scary movies! They get too real for me! I used to love Goosebumps way back when and that is the scariest thing I can think of right now. Some of those stories were quite creepy!   So I was at Uwajimaya the other day and saw Earl Grey Tea Chocolate and Cinnamon Chocolate. If you were my Witchee, would you be interested in trying something like that? Sounds yummy to me!   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on?   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie? That is impossible to say! I love Snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, M&M cookies, double chocolate, pumpkin cookies, peanut butter and chocolate cookies.... I LOVE COOKIES! Mmmm!   How many boxes are you hoping for? As many as you care to send me dear witch!   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? I love samples as long as they're clearly labeled with the brand and everything! I'd hate to get an amazing sample and then not know exactly what it was!   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like?     October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?   The best thing I ever ate...:   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? I can't do black licorice. The taste is just too icky for me! I like red licorice though! Definitely sweet!   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I've been meaning to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite (Production one) for my Mac for a few years now. DEFINITELY don't expect you to do that for me, my witch! I have an iMac with loads of unused hard drive space!   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? I've always wanted to get in to audiobooks, but I just never have made the leap. I'm allowed to use my iPod at work quite often and my music gets boring sometimes... I think I'd go for a book that I've read before (one of my favorite fantasies) or something educational to get my mind working.   October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) Hmmmmm, can't think of anything at the moment. I do like being crafty though!   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? I just have a small Canon digital camera. Very happy with it, but no camera strap necessary!   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? Hee hee! I actually used to want to become a film editor (hence the wanting the Adobe Production Suite). I'm not sure if it is quite right for me though nowadays. Being cooped up in a room staring at a computer screen for hours sounds a bit maddening. I love doing it as a hobby though! Might come back to editing though.... Just can't decide!   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? I used to play the clarinet, but I haven't used it since high school. I always wanted to learn the trumpet though. The only singing I do is in the shower!     October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? I would have when I was younger! Not really my thing anymore.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?   Tarot I have been wanting to get a tarot deck/learn tarot for awhile now!! I think I would just like to have it for the art though. Well, and maybe for parties! I LOVE the work of Stephanie Pui-Mun Law!   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? Sounds tasty! I love popcorn! Oooooh, that rosemary and parmesan one sounds sooooo yummy!   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?     What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?   Luck charms?   Does anyone want anything from... here...?   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere?   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I do believe I'd go for anything on that list!   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? I like peanuts, sunflower seeds and pistachios, not really any others though!       October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?   Reveal? I plan to!   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Yes!   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Definitely!   September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? I like Haunt soaps!   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? Me!! Sounds interesting.   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? No on jewelry, but I'd say anything else is fair game!   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? Can't think of anything specific! I have been wanting to get a subscription to Women's Health.   Describe your sense of humour. According to my SO, I am good and giggly. I'd say I am a bit sarcastic/find strange things funny. I get it from my dad! For example, I was reading a children's story to these five year old girls. There was this one part where the little boy's sister took his class pet lizard (salamander?) of some kind and accidentally drops it down the garbage disposal. She goes to turn on the light to fish it out and..... Yeah, she turns on the garbage disposal. The book actually wrote out the whirring sound of the garbage disposal and after reading that I just burst out laughing and could not continue the story. It was just hilarious in a "I can't believe this is in a children's book" way. I also think this is hilarious.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) I love those things! I think I have all I need for the moment though! I purchased quite a few through my local grocery store!   I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? I've never bought or tried anything from Sephora. If they had a sampler of some kind that would be awesome!   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? I actually don't really have a purse. Really need to get one in the future! I'd say... something with a long strap for cross body or just hanging off my shoulder. I like designs, but I think I'd lean towards greyish/darker colors. Well, not dark exactly, but not bright. I like prints, but I'd definitely prefer something a little less eye catching.   julep maven monthly boxes: Sounds interesting!   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? Sounds good to me! I love Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican.... there really are very few cuisines that I don't like!   Like commercial socks? Yes!   What kind of bear is best? A honey bear! Though I would take some gummy bears as well!   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? I'd love to! Sounds awesome!   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Ummm, where are these?? MUST HAVE!   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? I do! She's fantastic! I sent a print of hers to one of my last witchees!   Do you drink wine? I do indeed! In fact, I am making some wine at the moment! I like all types of wine. It really just depends on my mood. My favorite winery is Bridlewood in the Santa Ynez, CA area.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! I can't wait to reveal myself to my witchee! I am nervous about my Witch though. I just never know if I answer questions right and if I am a good witchee! I always seem to fall behind on the questions.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? I do. Those things were awesome, but I wasn't allowed to make purchases at that time...   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? This may sound silly, but I actually don't like candy corn. I think it is the waxy texture that just throws me off....   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?       September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?   So who else watched Babylon 5? I've seen one episode, but I never really got in to it...   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?   what level of contact were you hoping for?   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Yes! I WANT to visit the Milwaukee Public Museum! They are opening a Cleopatra exhibit soon and I must see it!! I've also been wanting to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum!   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I LOVE the Crunchie bar from Cadbury. At least I think that is what it is.... I received it from a lovely forumite as a gift and It's fantastic! I am sure there are other types I have never thought of trying and all are definitely fair game! As long as there are no nuts (except peanuts or pistachios).   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Ummm, I just realized the other day that Netflix does not have the most recent Phantom of the Opera movie for streaming. I was so hoping to watch it the other day!   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP?   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do:   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Definitely! Sounds tasty!   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Besides the brushing of teeth, I don't really have any bedtime rituals. For the most part, I fall asleep fairly easily!   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? So much yay! I LOVE this movie/book!   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches For fairytale? I always loved the Twelve Dancing Princesses. The art for that story is always amazing! The book was The Golden Treasury of Fairy Tales (yeah, that book has moved with me through every aparment/living change) and I would always skip straight to that story! I will have to come back to this question. I LOVE Fairy Tales!!   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I love the idea! Just as long as it isn't scratchy!   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Sounds adorable to me!   Look down. What are you wearing, right now?   Kerchiefs? I'm afraid I wouldn't wear anything like that! My hair is one of my favorite features and I love to show it off! Sadly I have to wear it in a tight bun every day for work....   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?   what's your favorite kind of pizza?   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes?   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?     Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people!   What is your favorite word?   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? Yes please! I used to have a tart burner, but it got lost in the move. I still have my lovely oil burner though! I love candles of all kinds!   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I think I am definitely going to go with sweet! I have such a sweet tooth that my SO makes fun of me for all the time.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question)   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? I really really want to go apple picking since it is the end of the season. Maybe this weekend. I love making apple pie!   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee?   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Yay to Cthulhu/Cthulu mythos stuffs. I have some Lovecraft stories, but I just haven't been able to get into them. They're so.... dense.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? I wish..... I wish I could go to the RenFaire. It's already closed though and I just didn't make it. I also wish I could visit Door County in Northern WI. It sounds pleasant and nice! And, something more important.... I wish I could get up the nerve to go bra shopping. I needed new bras months ago. And a new fitting.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting I caved and made a TP order for: Honey Pumpkin Stout Bath Oil, Marshmallow Pumpkin Bath Oil, and Honey Pumpkin Stout Soap. I am also doing a BPAL Weenie decant circle, so I will get to try those. So excited!   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance!   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. I really really wish I could have a cat. I would love you forever if you would convince my SO to get allergy shots!   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? No thanks! I don't wear stuffs like that too often (probably only on Halloween) and I wouldn't want a lovely gift like that sitting in my closet!   How do you feel about terrariums? I'd be nervous I'd kill it....   What's your favorite horror movie?   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. Tea? PG Tips and the Pumpkin Spice Tea from Eastern Shore Tea Company. Bath products? I use whatever soap I can find in the house and my Tresemme Naturals Shampoo and Conditioner. My hair loves it!   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? I love the movie Lost in Austen! I have probably seen it around five or ten times now even though it is a longish movie. I've read Pride and Prejudice, but haven't managed to get ahold of any others! I guess that would be a yay!   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind?   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I do I do I do! I LOVE ComicCon! Wish I could go to the one in San Diego. I like the story and all, but I really love the artwork! One anime that I can think of that I have been thinking about getting ahold of for just the artwork is Spice and Wolf!   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? Always! I love being creative!   What's 'your' song/your theme song? Hard choice! I have so many! Well, my theme song for right now is Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. Had to look that up! I didn't actually know what the song was called or the name of the band. I'd also say Sognami by Biagio Antonacci speaks to me as well!   What would be your superpower? Well, I think I would get the most out of telekinesis, but I really have always wanted wings and to be able to fly!   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Sure!   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts!   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever?   September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. I love those! I actually have a set.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? LOVE Ardeth Bay from the Mummy, Tony Stark from Iron Man, Neil Caffrey from White Collar, Malcolm Renolds from Firefly, Richard Castle from Castle, and first season Chuck from Chuck! I identify with Willow from the early seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Kaylee from Firefly.   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I don't think I have really tried any Arcana. I am very happy with one perfume company obsession!   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Definitely! Just give me warning to clean, or meet me in a public place so I don't have to clean!   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Hmmmmm. I'm not sure. I guess I might have a few on my Etsy wishlist. I'd say... I think I need to think about this one a bit more.   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? Looks cool to me! I just don't wear nail polish too often. Not allowed at my work. I do like deep burgundy, creams, purples... Colors!   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? LOVE Lip balm! I use Burts Bees most often. I love the tinted ones! I can always use more since the dry season is coming. I definitely prefer twist up to all the other kinds.   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) Sounds fun! I've never really used one before, but they sound nice and I do like drawing.   -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 afraid I don't really paint too often. I used to use acrylics and would love to try again, but I was never good with watercolor.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Definitely favorable!!   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? Like! Of course there are some I like better than others. Love this one! And this!   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? I guess it is a bit more than $20, but I have really been wanting to try this: http://www.olay.com/skin-care-products/olay-professional/advanced-cleansing-system?pid=075609037047 It sounds interesting and I want to see if it will help my problem skin. I've also had my eye on the Giovanni Detox Face stuffs for awhile now.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Oh, my! That sounds HEAVENLY! Looooooove peaches, asparagus, garlic, green beens.... The only thing I don't really like are peppers. Also, pickles themselves are soooo tasty and wouldn't last more than a day in my house!   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Definitely nature/landscape/scenic photos (even city ones). As for color v. black and white, I think it all depends on the picture itself! I definitely love color, but I like how elegant black and white can be.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Could be interesting. Not sure if it is really my thing though.   Amigurumi, yes or no? Adorable!! Definitely a yes!   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 Ooooh! Vanilla definitely. Annnnnd.... pumpkin spice? Oh, and maybe amber? Never had an amber candle, but it sounds awesome to me!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Love English Breakfast, Pumpkin Spice, and .... jasmine!! I love me my black teas! Oh, though I do prefer decaf. I have waaaaay too many caffeinated teas and I am trying to cut back. It isn't good for my heart.   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 pretty much live in t-shirts! I work in a place where the dress code is fairly laid back, so I pretty much only wear t-shirts and yoga pants every day. I prefer size large for the most part. I would LOVE a shirt designed by my witch! I think that sounds awesome! Let's see, I have quite a few shirts with tigers on it from the Rainforst Cafe, one with Richard on it (he is awesome!), a few solid color ones, one from Mt. Shasta, one Doctor Who shirt... Yeah, I think pretty much anything I like is fair game to be put on a t-shirt!   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... YES PLEASE! I always am in the mood for pumpkin things when this time of year rolls around. I had a pumpkin soap from Moonalisa that was AMAZING! I love smelly candles as well! Can't do incense though.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? The Etsy shop? I think the stuffs there are adorable, but I don't think I would really wear anything like that.   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 can't think of anything specific... but I always love international things!!   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 don't really have anything special for my mac. No wireless stuffs, etc. Well, I do have Final Cut Pro which I love!   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? I'm afraid I don't like this type of sock. The toes just are so uncomfortable in general for me...   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I love DVDs! You know, I have meaning to acquire Eurotrip for the longest time now. Also Dangerous Beauty, Witchblade (the live action tv show), Sleeping Beauty... I'm sure I could come up with more, but I am drawing a blank at the moment.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Ooooh! Yes!!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I wish! I haven't been to a concert in awhile. I was thinking about trying to see a musical in the future, but none of my favorites are in town.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? YES! I will always love TNG the most. I think that I had one of my earliest not quite crushes on him when I was little. It was one of my Dad's favorite shows, so we used to watch it all the time (and Patrick Stewart is AWESOME!!). My SO and I are actually watching all the episodes in order right now (yay, netflix!) I absolutely loved the newest Star Trek movie!! Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto? YES PLEASE!   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Ooooooh! I would LOVE one! Ellebelle's photos are FABULOUS! I love nature photos/scenic photos the most. A bridge over a river, bright autumn colors, beautiful trees, a wooded path... Yep!     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 have need of some new measuring cups. *sigh* Somehow I lost most of them, so I have one 1/4th cup and one full cup left and both look like they are developing cracks! I LOVE cookbooks! I have been meaning to get this one for awhile now. I'd also love bread cookbooks and interesting ethnic food cookbooks. I've been wanting to learn to make thai food and healthy chinese!   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Yes! Hee hee!   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 don't really carry around a purse, but to have something like that that would sit on a desk? Sounds cute!   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I do like Star Wars! I think Darth Vadar from the original series will always be my favorite character. Though Han Solo is a VERY close 2nd. I LOVE Harrison Ford!   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 jerkey! Every once in awhile I'll have beef jerkey cravings. I've never really thought of the different types of beef jerkey. I always liked the teriyaki and pepper ones. I think I like the ones that are a little thicker/soft.   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. Sure! Definitely need to be warned if it is NSFW!   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Doctor Who is a HUGE yay! I've been meaning to get this for awhile. Along with this for my dad's christmas present! I haven't managed to see the earlier versions, but I have liked the new series. I will always LOVE David Tennant, but Matt Smith has definitely grown on me!   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? YES!! Wheeeeeee!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I do I do! I liked both! I especially LOVED the last season of Angel with Illyria and of course.... SPIKE! I love James Marsters! I like Joss Whedon in general really. LOVED Firefly, Dr. Horrible was awesome, Dollhouse was entertaining...   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Mmmm! Sounds tasty!   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Sounds interesting! I have a case for my IPod already (yay silicone). I've been meaning to get an iPhone for awhile now. I think I am going to get the iPhone 4 even if they come out with a new model soon. Otherwise I have an iMac that I love, but it doesn't need decals.   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 love Disney and fairy tale stuffs in general! Mostly in to the princess stories.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have my ears pierced once! Can't wear anything other than sterling silver or gold otherwise my ears get infected. I also don't change my earrings too often for the same reason. I do like earrings though, but I pretty much only stick to posts!   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Sounds tasty to me!     September 15th   interested in anything from Lush? Not sure. I don't think I have ever actually tried anything from them. Oooh! The Dream Cream body lotion sounds good! It is starting to become itchy dry skin season again. The SCHNUGGLE body butter sounds interesting as well.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I do blog! Well, at least I used to before things got really busy. I guess I could use a new header, but I definitely like the way my blog is laid out at the moment.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? I'm afraid I don't really use bookmarks. I end up just losing them!   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? Sounds interesting! I don't think I have ever heard of either of these!   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. I've never used Groupon! I just looked around a bit and the Getaway deals.... The food ones look awesome as well! I definitely think this website deserves more exploration!!   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I don't think Sugar Skulls are really my thing. I do like them though! Just not.... me.   Who here adores meringue? Lemon meringue pie? Yum!   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.)   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? LOVE IT! It is one of my favorite yogurt toppings!   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE   Does anyone like kimchi? I don't think I have ever tried it....   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sounds interesting to me! I've never tried one of those before!   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I like the soaps the best! Anything yummy or sweet smelling!   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies?

If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in?   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most?   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you?

(Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc)   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?       September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them?

Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?   September 11th   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!     Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?           September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?   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?   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays?   Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of?

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!   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!   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I love comics and Comic Con! I think Rogue from the XMen is definitely one of my favorites! I also love Witchblade. I've been wanting to read the Soulfire series ever since I saw some of the art at comic con. So pretty! I'm sure there are others, but I just can't think of any at the moment! My dad is a huge collector (our attic is filled with boxes of comics in plastic protectors), so I pretty much grew up with them!   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I used to play the clarinet, but I haven't played in a long time. I used to love it though. I always wanted to learn to play the guitar, but never managed to acquire one/get lessons.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I love the idea of gardening, but ever since college I seem to kill any plant I own. A cactus, a lavender plant, a pretty flower bush, a basil plant.... yeah, I'm not sure how, but they all died in my care. I used to be so good with plants.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Tons!! Let's see.... A willow tree, birds (in general), cats, laurel, horses, red pegasus, camellia, compass rose.... That is all I can think of at the moment! Each has a different symbolic meaning for me.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: I've never really looked in to any of them, but they sound interesting!       September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I've been thinking a lot about a blue gray nail polish recently. I can't wear it to work, but I have just had the urge to paint my nails...   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sounds tasty to me! Dried fruits? Other than that I can't think of anything!   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Good question! Probably... Sin. Though now I am starting to lean towards Snake Oil. I am about 1/3rd of the way through my first bottle (of two) and I've had it for two years. I wear it practically every day though!   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I do! I am catseyes49!   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? Mac!   What is your favorite animal? Hard to choose! I love many species of birds, horses, cats... I guess those are the main three!   What are you going to be for Halloween? I don't know yet. I wanted to do the Three Musketeers with two other friends, but one moved away... Guess I will have to think up something new!   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.) Hmmmm, I'd definitely love oil painted jewelry or wall art! I guess I would have either a willow tree, a bird, or maybe a moon!   How do you feel about nick-knacks?   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?   Do you like going to the movies?   What are your favorite restaurants?   Do you play any video games?   Do you like any anime?   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for?   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be?   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I'd love to! I am a biiiig cookie, bread, pie, scone, etc. baker!   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?   Muppets: yea or nay? I feel bad admitting it, but nay. They scared me when I was little.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?   Favorite Mythological Creature?: Hard choice! I am definitely into Pegasus, unicorns, griffins, Phoenix... and I think I am forgetting a few others! I definitely love fantasy!   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers Afraid I just stick to the regular elastic ponytail things. I need three or four to keep my hair back in a bun for work.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? I'm afraid I don't think I'd use anything like that. Though I admit I drool over the hair stuffs in GardensofWhimsy's Etsy Shop! I am so going to end up getting something from her for my wedding. Whenever that may be!

Scents I've Tested.

BPAL: Kabuki

Kabuki Category: Ars Amatoria Quantity: sample   Description: KABUKI Compelling, complex, and utterly enigmatic: a luxuriant, exotic blend of cherry, red musk, and star anise.   Review:   In the bottle: Eww, it smells like cherry-scented play-dough... However, if I pay attention, I can also smell anise and some musk.   Wet: At first, I get a lot of anise, but I also smell something sweet, like candy, and cherry.   Dry: Cherry and anise candy, literally. I also get a very faint note of musk. It gets better and better as hours go by.   Verdict: At first, I tought it smelled too much like licorice; but now, I really like it. It turned into something feminine and sensual.   More reviews: Ars Amatoria: Kabuki

BPAL: All Night Long

All Night Long Category: Bewitching Brews Quantity: sample   Description: ALL NIGHT LONG As if the name didn't spell it out for you. This blend relieves all sexual inhibitions by simultaneously relaxing and arousing.   Review:   In the bottle: Wow, this blend is thick! It's spicy, with a lot of cinnamon, and something lemony and floral behind. I also smell clove or pepper.   Wet: That definitively smells like clove to me! It's very spicy, in a hot, exotic way. I smell warm vanilla in the background. It's dark, mysterious and sweet.   Dry: Still spicy vanilla and clove. If you give it a few hours to fully blend with your skin, it really feels warm and sensual.   Verdict: Well, I have yet to test its properties at night, but it definitively smells good! Now, I have to get that song out of my head...   More reviews: Bewitching Brews: All Night Long

SW Halloween Ketchup 1

September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?   These would be fine! I’m just starting to “put my house together” so now is the perfect time to get these things. I don’t have anything like kitchen towels, counter containers, a paper towel holder, etc.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?   Oh. Hm. A semi casual dress in lime green/black/ white big floral pattern.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?   Sure! PDF is best.    If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now?   No kids yet.   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)   Yes they are so cute. 3, 6, 8, 9, 10  especially 10, 14 are all awesome.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?   Hrm. Not particularly. Simple, clean, elegant is my taste. Like mostly solid with one or two accent colors, I like lots of patterns but I guess I do particularly like paisley.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?   Of course! I drink much tea and wine    If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?   I have never heard of compressed… but I don’t have a tea ball, so loose only if I had a tea ball. Bags I guess is best, though I prefer loose.   September 11th   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)   I’m okay with almost anything used as long as it is clean and bed bug free (I am very paranoid about bedbugs >_>) I’d prefer no under garments, and if it is shoes, VERY gently used.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?   I do not have an etsy shop… I know there are a ton of SW friendly shops but I can’t think of them atm ><   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?   If it was Lady and the Tramp… squee   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?   Oh Geez. Uh, I love all kinds, including maple candy. I do not like liquorice and thus not good and plenties, but almost anything else. … I’ll try to think about being more specific.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.   Er… shower gel, but I’m not opposed to soap. I don’t really have any favorite scents or brands… I’m VERY b&b uninitiated. So I’m open to enabling? The one thing I will say is that I have very sensitive skin and it dries out easy, so it should be gentle and moisturizing!   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?   Caramel, hazelnut, almonds, peanut butter are all good!   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?   I don’t really.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!   Yessssssssssssssssss.     Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?   Oh yes, that sounds lovely! I like soft, cozy fabrics. I like bold, jewel tone colors  patterns are irrelevant unless it were themes, in which case nature landscapes, especially soothing ones are best!   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?   I like them, but I’m not sure what I’d use them for.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?   Oh gods. I’ll have to come back to this one.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?   I… what?       September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?   Oh uh. I love musicals, so I <3 Sondheim. I don’t really get obsessed really. I love way too many authors to pin down.   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?   Just Right sounds nice. Proscription too. And Twistappel. I’ve never tried anything from the company though.   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?   I have three kitties and they would LOVE stuff. Only thing is one will eat any loose strings/yawn/dangly stuff, so it has to be loose bits free.   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays?   Bpal or not? For BPAL I’m never going to get to try Jingo Kogo but I wish I could, and I wish I could wrangle a bottle of Queen of Spades… it is sentimental to me. Bath oils… hm. I’d love to try almost any bath oil . I’m not one much for sprays unless it is hair gloss maybe? Oh and I’d kill for some Possets Easter Grass.   Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls?   I’m not really up to date on artists /shrug.   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase?   I prefer mineral stuff, but I’m really low maintenance for makeup. I love other beauty stuff (lotions/cleansers/etc) and haven’t tried much of anything. I’m very open to enabling. My hair is dark brown and my skin is a pretty fair beige-ish color.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?   Teaaa! But it must be decaffeinated. And yes, yes yes.   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc)   Musicals. Seriously. Yes. Seriously. CDs/MP3 I suppose.   Are you going away for any part of this round?   Yes! My wedding/honeymoon is Oct 8th-Oct 16th.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch?   Sure, I’m open to exploring new stuff.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir?   Oh yes! Especially if I could wear/use it.   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"?   Hiking is nice. I’ve been trying to pick up jogging but it hasn’t happened.. I do weight lift though. And I really like yogo I just haven’t been able to lately.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?   I have a ravelry, but I am helpless with knitting and barely not helpless with crochet.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?   Yes!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?   OMG I THOUGHT YOU WOULD NEVER ASK. Sondheim – West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, etc. Wicked. My Fair Lady. Cinderella. Little Shop of Horrors. Chicago. Avenue Q. And so many more.     September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?   I am not allowed incense in my apartment    - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?   Yes. Hufflepuff. By sheer loyalty   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?   Oh. Hmm. Amazon can’t really miss. Or other multi use places.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?   Brothers Grimm I lived by as a child. But there were two in particular that I used to have books to but they have been lost. The 12 Dancing Princesses and the old Swan Princess (the dark scary one). I love most/all mythology.   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!   Ah, yes. I’ll have to come back to this one.   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!   Dragons probably. I dunno. What a vast question.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?   Read. Cook. Cuddle.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?   I love indie comics, especially ones with zombies I’m more into anti-heros or vigilantes than super heros.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?   Used to play flute. Sometimes sing. Not really my core interest.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?   I used to garden. I would love an herb starter kit. I <3 gardening but live in an apartment now, so something made for that kind of environment would be ideal.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?   Not really, but if I did it would be all of the above.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?   Sadly, not really. I’m not quite in touch with myself that way.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:   Adopt a library maybe? I didn’t know they had that. I am adamant about preserving paper books for all though!       September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?   Changeling, Halloween Las Vegas, Autumnal Cider, Gorobble. Any many many more. It burns there are so many.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?   I can’t ever remember to paint my nails or remove the polish after.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?   I like many lyrics but none really resonate with me specifically.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...   Don’t know much about candles.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?   Yes yes! A throw/afghan would be so perfect. But I’m also a sucker for scarves, and other things for keeping me warm.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics?   Oh sure! Snacky things or savory foods are always just fine (chips, savory breads, what have you.)   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying?   None that I know of.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar?   I do but I don’t.   Social Media?   None.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?   I think I provided this in the survey    Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac?   PC.   What is your favorite animal?   American Cougar. Or lynx.   What are you going to be for Halloween?   No idea yet.   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.)   Pendant with a nature scene (river, forest, meadow, etc) preferred. Or a wall art with the same.   How do you feel about nick-knacks?   I prefer things with a use. Otherwise is mostly clutter.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?   I don’t have traditions really. But my fiance’s family does, and they mostly revolve around family and food.   Do you like going to the movies?   Yes! Horror, romantic comedy, sci-fi. Whee.   What are your favorite restaurants?   Can’t pin down favorites. Love food. Period.   Do you play any video games?   Yes, yes yes, console and pc, but mostly pc. MMOs (yes, wow and soon to be star wars) but also fps like Left4dead, and games like Portal!   Do you like any anime?   Used to, but quite out of the loop now.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for?   Nope.   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be?   I love jewelry but I do have a metal allergy to nickle, so it can’t be nickle-y.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?   YES. GODS YES. Currently I’m gluten/soy/dairy free (by most part, I WILL accept things that have these in them cause this isn’t an allergy issue, just a trying-for-now-thing.) But I would love family recipes, favorite recipes, etc of ANY kind.   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?   Yes please. All of the above.   Muppets: yea or nay?   Yay.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?   Sure. All of the above.   Favorite Mythological Creature?:   Pegasus or Dragon.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers   Not particularly. Hurt mah head.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now??   Nooo.

SW Fall 2011 questions from 9/12

September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?   Sure! I was resistant to e-books for a long time but it turns out I love them. I read them on my iPhone, either in the Kindle app or the google books app.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now?   Sure! My son wears a size 2T (though 3T things are appreciated too, since he's GOT to move to that size sometime, right? he's been 2T since he was 9 months old ) and is interested in a pretty wide variety of things. His favorite things in the world right now are his play kitchen & play food, his doll, a little red matchbox car, coloring, and trains.   (Can't remember if I mentioned it in my questionnaire, but I'm pregnant right now too, expecting another boy mid-January. You don't have to send anything for him, though, heh.)   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)   Those are beautiful but I have to admit that I'm really not a bag person.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?   Nothing's springing to mind...   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?   Sure! I actually already own more coffee mugs than anyone rightly should but um, that's an indicator of how attached I am to them.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?   When I do have tea, I prefer loose. (I also love the little compressed bricks of pu-erh.) As for kinds/flavors, like I mentioned in yesterday's set of questions, I don't drink much black tea these days... mostly chais or tisanes.

2011 Fall Questions~! Part I

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) As long as it's clean and gently used I'm fine with clothing. When I thrift I usually get skirts, shirts, CDs and books. I don't really buy any kitchen stuff.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I don't personally, but I have a huge Etsy wishlist that should include a few forumites.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I am not really a fan of Disney. Their animated stuff is o.k. but I don't care much for the company itself.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? I also love those peanut butter kisses in the orange or black wrappers. I also adore mini bars, especially Mr. Goodbar. Sixlets are also pretty great.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Gel. My all time favorite is Lush Flying Fox. How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? I love chocolate with almost anything. But no peppercorn! Xp   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? Sure! I like natural beads and findings. I also like Czech glass and beads shaped like mythical animals/regular animals.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! I love caramels, especially Fleur de Sel and Earl Grey flavored.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Yes! Natural colors; burnt orange, greens, plum, black, deep ruby, blue, etc. I like wool, silk, cotton and linen. For designs, leaves, lotus flowers, foxes, wolves, stars, trees.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?

Lush, Sock Dreams, Sephora, Paypal.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I'm really in to European Folklore and Urban Legends.

A unicorn satyr!   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.) Something natural. I like leaves, lotus blossoms, roses, wolves, foxes, coyotes and the like. I think looking at my Etsy account will give a good over veiw~!   How do you feel about nick-knacks? Like 'em~!   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? Nope, still reading books on paper.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I love trying other people's recipes! One pot meals and anything baked would be nice! No restrictions!   Muppets: yea or nay? Noooo. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that's scared of them, but I don't like them do to childhood trauma. I appreciate that other people love the muppets but I do not. O_O   Favorite Mythological Creature?: Hmmm... satyr or unicorn (the goat style unicorn). Hence the Halloween costume...   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers: I like barrettes, bands and sticks. I've been growing my hair out so I need things to tame it with! I'm not much for hair bands.   Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Sure; I tend to like their stuff but hardly ever buy any for myself.   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? All of my pets, cats and dogs, love treats. :} They're all addicted to Greenies. Only restriction is that I try not to give them anything that's primarily corn. I guess you could send some corn for the chickens, though. LOL   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? I love tea and coffee. And yes...   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Sure!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I love hiking and going for walks. My favorite form of exercise is Yoga. I'd love a really good Yoga DVD or recommendation!   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Wow, these are all great! I like the chevron bag and the one with bamboo handles best. I also like the unisex bags a lot! I've done some felt-work and I can't imagine making bags that are this awesome!   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Oh, lots of things. I like Celtic knots, trees, animals, flowers, all sorts of things. Echoing above and suggesting my wishlists will give a good idea. :}   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Of course! I still use a mug I got in my first Switch Witch! I love hand crafted items.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I like loose leaf earl grey, loose leaf chai, jasmine pearls and flowering teas. I'd love some more Malta De Cruz Mate Cocido. As a rule I don't like Yerba Mate, but a friend in Argentina sent me this stuff and I <3 it.

More questions, oh my!

September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Sure, I'd love it! I use a Nook, which accepts Nook format and epub format.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? No, I don't have kids.   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Weirdly, although I love knitting and crafts, I'm sort of indifferent to felted bags.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Paisley, believe it or not. I also love leopard print. I am: tacky.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Sure! Glass would be best, as I don't tend to use mugs so much.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I prefer loose tea when I drink it at all, as I can throw it in my tea ball.   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Sorry, no.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Thanks, but I'm not a drinker at all.   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) LURVE both fudge and brownies. And my brownies I like fudgy, not cakey.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I love mochi, although I've never looked at it quite the same way after hearing that in Japan a bunch of elderly people choke on it every year.   Does anyone like kimchi? Love it, but I'm kind of picky about the kinds I'll eat.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? I actually just cancelled my Birchbox, as it grew stupider and stupider. However, I love boxes full of nice cosmetics and skincare done with me in mind!   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? OMG, I didn't even know about that shop, so thanks to whoever pointed it out! I just added a bunch of them to my etsy wishlist, which you can find here.   Questions from other days, I sort of lost track:     You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Bottles of: Aizen-Myoo, Snake Oil, Belle Epoque, The Great Sword of War, Marquise de Merteuil, Jazz Funeral and Kill Devil. Also backups of Dorian, Bien Loin d'Ici, and Horreur Sympathique. Also, any of the scent lockets except, you guessed it, the steampunk one. That would actually be enough; I don't like to order everything I want right away because where's the fun in that?   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I love Moleskine notebooks; I have one with Snoopy on it that's one of my favorite things.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Oh no no no no no no no. No glitter, please.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I actually love stuffed animals, but just gave many many of them away because I didn't have room. I kept a few favorites, and that's about all I have room for right now.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Pretty, but honestly I don't think I'd use them.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Pseudoephedrine and sleep. Nothing else really works.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A big bed with tons of pillows, someone cheerfully bringing me everything I need so I don't have to get up if I don't want, and uninterrupted time to read in bed.   What do you really NOT want? Anything Steampunk. Or an envelope full of glitter, I suppose. Oh, and I love licorice, but can't eat it for health reasons. And my husband dislikes it, so I'm afraid it would go to waste if you sent it.

SW Help

Since I can't quite figure this whole blog thing out (like, how to make seperate entries for each day), I'm just going to keep editing this one post with all of the questions. Blogging for the blog challenged! Here are all my answers so far.   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Absolutely not. I can probably sum it up in one word (me!) or 100+ words, but not 10 words that would have any description to them.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I'm not really a drinker, though I don't tend to turn down mixed drinks--I just don't know enough about alcohol to be able to request anything.   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Love them both, any type. Bring it on.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? What it is? I just looked it up and I still have no clue what it is or what it would taste like.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE I like pretty much everything, especially the Snake Oil or Honey hair glosses. Candied Pumpkin sounds good, as does Fruitbat Fruitbath, Honey Pumpkin Stout (soap and bath oil), Marshmallow Pumpkin, and Sugary Spector. And Sugar Skull soap! But I think I'm passing on everything as far as decant circles go.   Does anyone like kimchi? No, no thank you. I don't really get along with any type of Asian food.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Yes, please.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? No spending limits? I like the idea of trying everything, just for completeness' sake. That thought makes the obsessive in me very happy.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I've never tried them before.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I'm going to feel like the biggest stereotypical girly girl when I say this, but I don't do sports. I really just don't get it.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I like it all. I'm horrible, though--I don't tend to actually use them except for work to keep my notes. I need to start writing again!   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Closer to the angry side--it gets everywhere and in everything and then I have to clean it up.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? They're okay. Nothing I particularly want (I'm more of a pillow girl myself, instead of stuffed animals).   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Totally cute, but I already have labels on my bottles.     September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Considering I'm moving soon, I'd love anything like that.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I don't typically go to those things. It's kind of sad, actually...   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Nah.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Love it! I have a minicollection of mugs already.       And the others, not sorted by date.   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I like the idea of thrifting, but I’m much too impatient of a person to do it myself, except in used book stores, if that counts. I’m not a huge fan of used clothing (except outerwear), but I’m fine with used scarfs, jewelry, books, games, DVDs, etc.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?No etsy shop. I craft, so everyone keeps saying I should open on, but I haven’t so far.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? It would make me smile, but it would make two of my friends utterly squee, so I’m good with them.   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Halloween candy! I love Halloween candy. Anything really except red hots, but I particularly love caramels and candy corn.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? I like chocolate any way that it comes—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate. I like it with nuts, peanut butter, caramel, mint, dried fruit (but not the fruit cream, like in the Valentine’s boxes). It’s a slight obsession for me.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I make jewelry, so I use beads all the time. Yes, please. The only ones I don’t tend to use are lampwork beads.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! That sounds divine.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I love scarfs. Unfortunatley, I live in the south, so I have no real need for scarfs, but I tend to wear them anyways. Solid, printed, it makes no difference for me. I really would love a light peach/pink scarf. I also like multicolored granny square scarfs. I prefer light ones since I live in the south. This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? If I can use them as a focal point for jewelry, fine. But if they’re too oddly shaped to be easily wire wrapped, they’re just clutter. Pretty clutter, but clutter nonetheless. What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Actors: my newest actor crush is Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s good. Real good. And I kind of adore Zachary Levi, even though I’m sure he’s a fake nerd. He’s just too cute to hate. Authors: Megan Whalen Turner. She’s severely underrated. Music? Regina Spektor. are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Uh, yes. The whole thing, especially Just Right and Discord. 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? No pets that I’ll have with me. I’m moving in the beginning of the month. The dog I have now is my dog, but she’s about 14 years old and she thinks she’s my dad’s dog. And he loves her to death and I’m afraid if I separate those two, she’ll die of a broken heart.   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? I want more Sugar Skull room spray. I really, really do. It’s impossible to find, though. Same with Jonathan's Coffee House. And more Storyville. Yeah, I like impossible wishes!   Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? My wall is pretty blank right now and I love black and white or sepia photography of random buildings and places. Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) I can’t think of anything that I need that I don’t already have, but I’d love a mixed CD of songs that someone would think I’d like based off of my preferences in my questionnaire. I don’t care about format as long as it’s not a record.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Well, I’ll be moving into a new place on October 1st. I just need to decide which one it’ll be. Ack!   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Love it! If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Why not? Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I’m not really an outside person, but I do run on occasion when I get the time to do it. I work with children, so I do a lot of running around after them.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? They’re okay. I like going to any type of show, though.   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I’m not a huge fan of incense—I prefer room sprays and candles.   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I’ve read the books but I’m way behind on the movies. I’m definitely Ravenclaw, though. Perhaps with a smattering of Hufflepuff. But mostly Ravenclaw.   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Lush, Villainess, Sephora, or amazon   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I’m a fan of Grimm’s fairytales and Greek mythology (I was practically obsessed with it in 6-7th grade, until I discovered Star Wars and let that take over). My personal favorite story is The Goose Girl..   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! I’d really like to the Great Pyramid.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Eat chocolate and popcorn and put in a movie. Usually Star Wars. If that doesn’t help, though, I choose Newsies—singing, dancing Christian Bale always cracks me up!   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I’m cool with comics, but I prefer books. They left you use your imagination more. I’d love the try the Sandman comics, though. I’ve only read the first one.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? Nope. I did when I was younger and a lot of band teacher tell me I have a knack for keeping a beat. But I don’t have the discipline for an instrument.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Yes! I love vintage and old looking scary decorations. I also like silly fun, cheesy decorations.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not particularly, though I love porcupines and peacocks.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC   What are you going to be for Halloween? I don’t tend to dress up for Halloween. I tend to do the chocolate, popcorn, and a scary movie with friends thing.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? They’re okay—I prefer my nick-knacks to be useful, though instead of true nick-knacks—candles, boxes, etc.   What are your favorite restaurants? Italian restaurants and sandwich shops   Do you play any video games? Not really, no. I don’t have the time, but I do have a few on my amazon wishlist.   Do you like any anime? I like what I've seen so far. I’ve only see Fullmetal Alchemist (and FMA: Brotherhood, both of which I LOVE!), Death Note, and Black Butler (which was eh, IMO). I’d love some recommendations to get into more.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? nope   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? Like, over the moon excited. I love jewelry!   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Sure. I need to figure out how to cook (especially for just one person) and I already like to bake. 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? I do need a box for my imps, but I have one for my bottles.   Muppets: yea or nay? I like the muppets fine and plan to see the new movie, but I’m not a huge fan or anything.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Nah.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers? Yes. I just cut my hair into a short (for me, at least) bob and I’m looking for fun things to do with it.   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Nope, I’m more of a book book type of person.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? No kids yet!   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I’m not picky about brands, but I’d love a grey polish that’s not too shimmery. Or a nonshimmery tan. For some reason, glittery/shimmery colors seem like spring/summer to me and matte colors seem like fall. I also like purples, pinks, reds, blues—anything, really.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? The Bow and Crown of Conquest. I don’t wear it often (thus not getting a bottle), but always think it’s amazing when I do wear it. Now I’m scared I’m going to find out that it’s already discontinued. I also love The Rose, but have Peacock Queen and Rose Red, so don’t feel the need to get a bottle, yet would hate if it left.

Postcards are fun.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc?

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?

Nature or abstract? black/white nature photographs, but color when abstract.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Not really for me, sorry.   Amigurumi, yes or no? Sure!   What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I don't have any particular painting or artist in mind. I like paintings with bright colors, for the most part though.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Umm, probably a campy Halloween scene with a haunted house, witch flying in the sky, ghosts, and zombies in a graveyard. I admit that my taste in art is extremely non-discriminating.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Licorice, Cotton Candy, Banana   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea I'm not much of a tea drinker, to be honest.   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts?

No idea what this is.   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 love trying new things!   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 own a 13" Macbook Pro and have a 20" Mac monitor, and Mac keyboard. I actually have quite a few Apple stickers, so no need for those.

Original Star Wars, favorite character: Han Solo (though as a kid it was definitely Princess Leia)   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 really care for 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. I won't open anything at work, so it should be OK.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I've actually never watched an episode of it.

BPAL: Persephone

Persephone Category: Excolo Quantity: sample   Description: PERSEPHONE Beautiful, radiant daughter of Demeter... her loveliness was so exquisite that even Hell itself could not resist her. Pomegranate and rose.   Review:   In the bottle: I smell mostly rose... ‘lots of it... I miss the juicy sweetness of the pomegranate.   Wet: I still get a lot of rose, but it’s already much sweeter, and fruity.   Dry: It is better, but... I still get so much rose! I don’t get that decadently juicy pomegranate other reviewers have smelled.   Verdict: Either Persephone loved the smell of roses beyond imagination, or this blend is still too fresh, and scents haven’t blended as much as they needed. Maybe I should let this one “age” for a few months, to see if it improves a little bit, it seems to work sometimes.   More reviews: Excolo: Persephone

FALL SW questions part one

Dear Witch, I have participated in 2 prior rounds of SW so inevitably a lot of these answers will be redundant. I apologize!   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? I could only order a few bottles and a few decants so I had to narrow it down a lot. I would also love to try: nocturnal reverie, araw ng mga patay, autumn cider, mictecacihautl, nothing but death, samhain 11, golden apple of the sun, black apple of saturn, glittering apple of the stars, the gorobble, the ta-ta, the two-tailed sogg, the wiley grasser, the zoom. Additionally I'll take as much Samhainophobia and October as I can get! 5mls or imps.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I wear it on my toes mostly, rarely on my fingers. I have no brand preference. Darker colors are better but my daughter likes nail polish too, any color for her.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Robert Duncan's "Often I am Permitted to Return to a Meadow". Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... Something with good throw, of any type. No color preference. Generally I'm disappointed whenever I buy a candle from Target or the like. Nothing overly foody smelling. Notes like pumpkin, cinnamon, apple etc. are good when balanced with other, non-foody notes. Additionally candle holders would be awesome. Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? I do. I like scarves that are not too long. hats, gloves, socks... what else is there? I'm pretty open. Blues, jewel tones, white, burgundy, plum, mustard, dark greens, red, black.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Jams, sauces of any kind, breads, canned things. I'm open to all yummies. The only thing foodwise I'm not interested in is "diet" stuff.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Phantom Wooer. Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? Not a yarnie.. I don't have the endurance for knitting, I've tried a few times to get into it but I never finish anything. Social Media? I'm on Facebook but only so a few out of state friends can contact me easily if needed. You're not missing anything.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Anything else will be on my amazon W/L.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC   What is your favorite animal? Domestic cats. Birds (not so much sea birds). I love killdeer. What are you going to be for Halloween? I don't forsee dressing up, I'll be taking my daughter trick-or-treating.   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.) This is hard. A dinosaur pendant might be cool. Maybe something for Halloween. I love sugar skull imagery. Something unexpected? As far as wall art goes I am fond of landscapes especially with a surrealist quality, depictions of nature > people.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? Depends on the nick-knack. What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? I love taking my daughter trick or treating. Christmas in general.   Do you like going to the movies? Not generally, because it's expensive and I'm always distracted by loudly chewing/slurping patrons. Some independent theatres around here are cool... serve beer and are cheap but even still I don't go very often. I'm not big on movies, they seem to require an attention span and lack of cynicism that I have a hard time mustering. What are your favorite restaurants? I'm not a fan of most chain restaurants. Exception: Macaroni Grill. And a guilty pleasure is Hometown Buffet. Otherwise, I often go to brew pubs in town, Deschutes and Laurelwood being favorites. The mexican food by my house, good thai and indian restaurants. Do you play any video games? no   Do you like any anime? No   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? no how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? Pretty fucking excited. My tastes are generally inexpensive. I like plastic stuff.. hand made things.. things I find at Goodwill/vintage stores/garage sales. Earrings and necklaces especially.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Recipes are always welcome, I cook a lot. Regional or authentic ethnic food is desired especially. No "diet" food. Butter > margarine. 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? All of the above! I have an ugly and overflowing faux wood finished box from TJ maxx, and it is not special in any way and would gladly have it replaced by something even slightly better.   Muppets: yea or nay? nay. I think I even kind of hated them as a kid.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Not particularly. My boyfriend has an affinity for Peanuts.   Favorite Mythological Creature?: Unicorns   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers: Yes! All the hair things. Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I don't burn incense very often because I discovered it gives me a headache. Shame! Because I do love it. If you send me some I will use it against my better judgement, open up the windows and hope for the best. Because I really do like incense! I have thing for the stick kind. I like earthy scents like sandalwood. Fruity incense is weird. Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? No, but my daughter loves it. She hasn't read the books, just the movies. If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Amazon, Modcloth, Paintboxsoapworks, Villainess, Powell's, a make up retailer or etailer. Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I've always liked Greek Mythology and have a particular fondness for Artemis.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... No RP   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Napping helps, sometimes my rough days are related to fatigue and sleep problems. Ice cream (Haagan Das specifically). Take a walk or otherwise be out of the house.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like alternative comics. Married to the Sea is funny. I've read Ghost World and Ice Haven. My boyfriend has a few comic anthologies, I keep meaning to read more of them but I'm also always trying to read more in general. Not super hero stuff. Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I can play guitar a little but I rarely do (I can't sing so I reached a dead end there). I have an autoharp that I have no idea how to play. I've always been fascinated by musical instruments, especially the harp and violin and piano, but I don't think I would ever find the time or true commitment to really learn an instrument.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I live in an apartment with no porch or anywhere to grow anything HOWEVER there is a community garden starting up this coming spring just down the street from me! I am so excited to take advantage of it but I have never, ever gardened and have no idea what I'm doing. Perhaps a beginner guide? Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Yes I do! I do not think Halloween decorations should be elegant. I like vintage decorations probably of the kitschy variety. Last year we had an artificial christmas tree that we put orange and purple lights around, a plastic skull that was hollow, we cut a hole in it and stuffed a string of lights in there and mounted it on top of the tree. It looked awesome. I might have to do it again this year.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? I don't think so.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: Not a specific one but something like that would be great. What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I wouldn't describe myself as obsessed with anyone.   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? OMG candles! Discord or Proscription for the candles. Any of the soaps.   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? My cat won't eat cat treats. She is playful so maybe a cat toy. Something to scratch her nails on that isn't my couch. What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? I love Severin, and I'll never get more . Same with The Unicorn. Pink Snowballs I really hope makes a return.   Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? Nothing specifically. I have a lot of wall space that I need to cover.   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I'd like more eye shadow, I never get around to purchasing any. Samples especially welcome. I have brown eyes, brown hair. I'm somewhat fair, a little bit of an olive tone to my skin. I'd also like blush samples, eye liners, and some mineral foundation (the latter I'll be sure to add to my w/l).   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Yes I like french press coffee. I like black teas usually. Nothing with artificial or "natural" flavors.   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet?

No   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure but I'm picky   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? sure   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I don't have a car so I walk/bike everywhere, which I enjoy. I would love to get into hiking, camping, fishing. But they're kind of expensive hobbies to get into.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes! I don't work at a desk but I have a desk at home that I draw at and write at. Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Not in general. I like The Sound of Music and really liked Moulin Rouge at the time (not sure it would hold up ten years later). I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! Ok with everything used as long as it looks clean. The exception being underwear/bras.   Do you have an Etsy shop? no   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I LOVE Disneyland. I do not care for *Disney* but Disneyland is a different thing. I grew up in southern CA and have many memories that take place at Disneyland. I love the Haunted Mansion.

Good Judy: Voodoo Doll

Voodoo Doll Category: Curio Shop Quantity: sample   Description: VOODOO DOLL Well known in the Voodoo world, this particular doll was used as an effigy to gain influence over a specific person…and, in turn, drove its user mad. Wicked little thing, ain't it? Notice where the pins are placed? Curious indeed. What will you do with such a thing? Suggestions, demands, and desires fulfilled? If it pleases our guest, so shall it be. Mugwort, sweet sage, cotton blossom, dove’s feather   Review:   In the bottle: It’s soft, I smell mostly mugwort and sage. It’s very herbal, yet delicate and feminine.   Wet: Is that rosemary? No, wait, it’s supposed to be sage. I still get some mugwort, and some faint cotton blossom.   Dry: Oops, it’s turning bitter and stronger (too bad, I liked it before, but I suppose the voodoo doll comes with a curse). It’s much more aromatic: lemony, floral, with cedar.   Verdict: It’s an interesting neutral blend, neither masculine nor feminine, and it smells clean. However, this is not a perfume I would wear.

SW Fall 2011 questions, 9/9-9/11

In reverse order...   September 11th   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)   Fine with most used wearables, other than like underwear and socks. I used to be weirded out by used shoes but became more accepting of them when I went vegan and wanted to stop buying new leather shoes. (When you have weirdly shaped feet, sometimes used leather is the best veg compromise you're going to get.)   Books & other media, I am more than fine with used. That's the way to go!   Kitchen stuff is a-okay used too.   Used cosmetics and soaps and stuff weird me out a little more. Pre-used bar soap would absolutely not get used in my house. (I have trouble sharing bar soap with people I'm related to!) Used perfume would obviously be fine though.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?   No! I love buying on Etsy though.   A friend of mine makes wonderful jewelry that she sells partially through Etsy. Her shop is Lush Beads on Etsy. I feel like her spider jewelry might be perfect for some 'Weenies witchees...   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?   I am ambivalent about Disneyland! A postcard might be nice!   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?   Hmm... peanut chews? When I was a kid, those mini heath bars were my favorite, but I've never found a vegan equivalent. Used to also love candy corn (and those little pumpkins made out of candy corn) but again, not vegan.   Oh, you know what else I really used to love? Those super cheap tasting milk chocolates in the foil shaped like pumpkins etc. That's actually what I think rice milk chocolate tastes like... kinda waxy and strange and yet oddly alluring.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.   Hmm. I like both. In terms of what I own... I own way more bar soap. So much bar soap. Arcana soaps are almost always a hit with me-- Filthy Viking is my absolutely favorite thing in the whole entire to wash with.   I really do NOT love most of Lush's bar soaps. Though, it's been years since I tried a new one... the last new Lush soap I tried was Lily Savon when it first came out. (And boy did I hate that soap.)   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?   If it's vegan and it's chocolate, I will eat it. I have no sense of discrimination.   Dark chocolate + sea salt + anything else is basically always a particularly big win for me.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?   I flirted with beading at one point, actually due to another SW round. It's not a strength of mine and I probably wouldn't actually use beads you sent me, though I love beaded things.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!   Caramel is something I adore, but it is rare to find it vegan. I've made it before several times and it's really not that hard (basically sub coconut milk for dairy cream, vegan margarine or coconut oil for butter, and presto) but I guess there's not much of a demand for it in the world.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?   Sure! A scarf might be nice, assuming we're talking some light fabric here and not like painted wool. (For wool things, see my answer to knitted goods.) Like I said before, I'm pretty open about colors... earth tones, jewel tones, basically anything that's not sugary pink or white works for me.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?   Not really!   -------------------------------------------------------------   September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?   Hm. I don't trend towards obsession! At least not as far as celebrities are concerned. Really, I thought about this for like twenty minutes and the only person I can come up with is Stephen Fry. Man, do I love Stephen Fry.   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?   I'd love to try the soaps of either Discord or Just Right. (Chances of me buying them for myself are exactly 0 though!)   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?   My guinea pigs don't really do much in the way of treats or toys. We've tried a couple of things that were supposed to be guinea pig specific (fruit twigs, I forget what else) and they're just totally disinterested.   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays?   So I checked my wishlist for an answer to this and realized I really, really need to update it... my most wanteds are all things from the Weenies update of '08, which I decanted and tried all of. Doh!   I really wanted to try a lot of the Nutcracker & Scrooge scents last year but just didn't get my act together in time... those aren't really unobtainable but that's what comes to mind.   Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls?   The sad truth of the matter is that I already have so many prints that I could paper every bare inch of wall in my house twice.   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase?   I'm not into makeup at all.   I am, however, really looking for a light moisturizer that also has sunscreen in it. I'd like to try Origins' Brighter by Nature moisturizer but haven't worked up to shelling out the money for it yet. I have notoriously sensitive skin so would really like to try a sample of it before making a decision.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?   Coffee: I freaking love coffee. Coffee is my happy place. Right now I only drink 1 cup a day (and no one else in my house drinks it at all) so if you send any, smaller amounts are probably better than larger amounts.   Tea: I used to be a big tea drinker but it's fallen by the wayside somehow. I still love a good chai, but don't really care for straight up black teas anymore. You know what I am up for lately though? Tisanes. I'm trying to limit my caffeine (pregnancy and whatnot) but get bored of sucking down water all day, so non-caffeinated stuff is welcome...   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc)   Hm. Not that I can think of. I usually buy music by artists I love more or less right away.   On the other hand, I am always, always looking for new music, so don't feel like you can't send me any just because I can't think of any in particular.   MP3s or CDs are best. I love records but really don't have the room to store any more of them than I already have.   Are you going away for any part of this round?   Not sure if it falls quite within the confines of the round, but I am planning to be out of town for a day or two around Thanksgiving. Other than that, probably not!   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch?   Sure!   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir?   Magnets & postcards are always welcome.   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"?   Yes! I love just walking outside and spend a lot of time visiting state parks, etc, with my family. I'm also a bike commuter (~8 miles a day) and would really like to expand that into a bigger hobby because man do I love riding my bike.   Pre-babies I used to run a lot, and I miss that, but I really can't find the time these days.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?   No ravelry account!   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?   Sure! Especially pens. My workplace is really tight fisted about giving out pens. (Isn't that weird?) And notepads. And like, I could use a pen cup or something too. Um... pretty much any cute office supplies would go to use around here. (The cuter the better, so my two very male cubicle mates don't steal them.)   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?   Yes! And I'm not choosy. I love them all, from the classics like Fiddler and Annie Get Your Gun, etc, up to more contemporary things like RENT and well... I guess RENT's not contemporary anymore, is it?... whatever is contemporary now, I probably like it.   ------------------------------------------------------------- September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?   Incense (and indeed, anything that makes smoke) tends to cause respiratory sadness for me. :/ Which is a bummer, because I love incense. My mom used to make her own when I was little and so I have a lasting fondness for it. I like cones because, well, they're cute, and I like more or less the same scents I like in perfumes... resinous things, dragon's blood and such, lavender, some florals, no patchouli, etc.   Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?   I'm a fan. Probably Ravenclaw.   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?   Hmm... probably boring ol' Amazon, or if you could figure out how to buy one online, for my local bookstore, Bookshop Santa Cruz.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?   Not really any one in particular. I love European fairy tales (Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian etc) and Greek & Roman mythology and am lately fascinated by Russian fairy tales.   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!   I don't, but what a cool idea!   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!   I'd love to just see the future, near or otherwise. What will things be like in a hundred years? A thousand? I hate the idea that I'll never know how the story ends, so to speak.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?   Take a bubble bath with my two year old. That sounds weird, but it's the best thing ever because a. I get to take a bath, something that almost never happens if I try to do it solo, and b. my kid is so cute and funny in the bath. It's really just sweet and funny and calming, and plus we all smell nice afterwards.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?   I was a big comic reader in college, then came to a screeching halt somewhere in my senior year and never picked up again. Some of my old favorites were Fables, Transmetropolitan and really most things by Warren Ellis (when he's not totally phoning it in), anything anything by Ariel Schrag...   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?   I sing, and that's about it. I've sang in various choirs, which is fun, and in musicals, which is the best thing ever and which I wish I could do again. (I'm not a great singer by any means, but I sound really good in a group and am l-o-u-d, so I am an excellent chorus member!)   I adore music but have just never really known where to start with instruments. Someday I'd like to play an instrument-- ANY instrument-- but though I've tried things here and there, I haven't shown any aptitude for it at all.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?   I'm very interested in gardening, but haven't ever succesfully done it. (Once I grew marigolds for my mom, but that's it.) What I'd really like to grow are vegetables and/or herbs, edible things. Right now I have a tiny postage stamp back yard though with seriously maybe 8 ft x 2 ft of soil in it, so anything I tried to grow would probably have to be in containers....   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?   Not really! My decorating style trends towards "extremely lazy" so seasonal decorations are something I basically never get around to. Anything that was meant for outside would have to be more elegant, less kitschy.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?   Nothing comes to mind. Hmm, I'm kind of striking out on this set of questions!   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:   Yes!

Switch Witch Fall 2011

From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Halloween: Las Vegas and Pumpkin Princess! Followed by Sonnet d'Automne, Changeling, The Tata and ALL OF THE APPLES FOREVER.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I love nail polish! My favourite brand is Nfu. Oh, which is unfortunately about as rare as a tapdancing unicorn.I've always wanted to try Zoya and Inglot's polishes, and I'll always give OPI a whirl   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? "Love, love is a verb. Love is a doing word" from Teardrop by Massive Attack. My favourite poem of all time (which I'm just going to link here because it's way too long) is Metaphorazine by Jeff Noon.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Yes please! I don't have anything specific in mind so anything you want to throw at me is fantastic   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Shanghai, I guess. I don't think terror is the right word but I'd be pretty sad.   Social Media? thewondersmith.livejournal.com, mrblessington.tumblr.com, @beezlebard. PM me if you want my Facebook page.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC! I'm overly attached to my Dell.   What is your favorite animal? Depending on my mood and whether or not I have access to Youtube, I alternate between cats and dogs.   What are you going to be for Halloween? I have NO idea! We don't really celebrate Halloween in Australia. As silly as it sounds, I'm probably going to go as one of my friend's RP original characters. Or maybe Ramona Flowers. Or maybe Bowie. Or maybe a character from the Vampire Chronicles. Too many choices!   Do you like going to the movies? Yes!   Do you play any video games? Sometimes. I quite like Unreal Tournament, Halo, Fable and Fall Out 3.   Do you like any anime? Sure! I'm pretty picky with my anime though. I like the classics like Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell and Trigun.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I wish.   How much do you like jewelry? Like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? PROBABLY PRETTY DAMN EXCITED NGL.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I love cooking and I'm super stoked to try new recipes. Anything for a girl on a budget, and not TOO heavy on the fat/sugar would be really fantastic.   Muppets: yea or nay? YES. If we're talking about the Muppet Show sort of Muppet. If there's a different sort of Muppet, I... don't know?   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes. Don't really care much for Peanuts though. I do read a load of webcomics though, but I'm not sure if they count.   Favorite Mythological Creature? Nagas and shapeshifters. Angels too.   Do you like hair things such as barrettes, headbands, or flowers? I love them! I haven't been wearing them as much after I got all my hair chopped off.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now? I've never worn them before but I wouldn't be adverse to trying them.   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I don't really care for incense.   -Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I used to be a huge HP fan when I was a kid. I figure I'm probably a Hufflepuff.   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? MAC, Ulta/Sephora, Morgana Cryptoria, Modcloth.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/god-story that you're drawn to? I love the story of Odysseus, Samson and Delilah, Icarus, any Sinbad the Sailor stories, and the myth of the Rainbow Serpent.   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! Sure do! My main character to write is a grumpy, short, chain-smoking dork called Weston, and though I do draw him a lot, I don't tend to post much art anywhere. Which I get isn't helpful, but I use Marc Andre-Grondin (especially in his C.R.A.Z.Y. days) as a reference a lot of the time.   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! Man walking on the moon. And watching Leonardo Da Vinci paint the Mona Lisa. And the Big Bang. I'd really love to see that.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Talking to troublehunter is pretty much a sure fire way of cheering me up.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I freakin' LOVE comics. I have a huge soft spot for the Robins (Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Todd and Stephanie Brown) as well as Batman, Ironman, Deadpool, Pyro, Nightcrawler, Iceman, Gambit, Rogue, Magneto (pretty much all the X-men apparently), Scott Pilgrim, Billy and Ted. I also read webcomics, like XKCD, Oglaf, Girls with Slingshots, The Meek, Questionable Content, Least I Could Do, Penny Arcade, and Cyanide and Happiness.   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? ETA: REVISED LIST.   Actors: Marc Andre-Grondin Lee Pace Shannyn Sossamon Ryan Gosling Cate Blanchett   Authors: Jeff Noon Marcus Zusack Nancy Farmer   Musicians: TOO MANY TO LIST so I'll limit it to five. Astronautalis (aka Andy Bothwell) Kate Bush Florence Welch Janelle Monae Lady Gaga   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? The Girl, The Candy Butcher, Lump of Coal.   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I'm absolutely nuts for makeup. I especially love indie brands like Fyrinnae, Shiro Cosmetics, Meow, Morgana Cryptoria and Geek Chic. I also do love high-end brands like Estee Lauder, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Gemma Kid and MAC for their foundations. I've always, always wanted to try the Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, NARS' Orgasm blush, any of the Chanel foundations and lip glosses from Inglot.   I'm half Filipeno, half Kiwi/Australian, so my skintone is pretty neutral with yellow undertones. I'm somewhere between NC 20 and NC 25 (MAC), and I'm currently using 2N1 Desert Beige 12 in Estee Lauder's Doublewear- HOWEVER, that's too pink for me, I'm finding. I've yet to find my perfect match, unfortunately And my hair colour's very, very dark brown.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? I love coffee and tea! I'll try anything once.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Yes please! I LOVE new music!   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Sure do!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Razia's Shadow by Forgive Durden. Little Shop of Horrors, Wicked, Rent, Avenue Q.   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I don't mind thrifty items, so long as they're properly sanitized and stuff.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I don't really mind.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? I have no idea. I've never had a proper Halloween before.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Soap! I love OHWTO's Black Magic. I've also always wanted to try Cocoa Pink's stuff.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? IN MY MOUTH. No, in all seriousness, I'll try any kind of chocolate.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I don't really wear beads, but I would absolutely love some!   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! OMG YES.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I'd love one! I've never had one before so I guess I'm pretty easy.   Food Teams Team beets: Sure, why not! Team brussel sprouts: Yes! Team goat cheese: Omg yes please. Team red licorice: Ew, no. Team black licorice: Ew, no. Team mushroom: Yep! Team marzipan, toffee, and pink cupcakes: Not hugely crazy about marzipan but I LOVE toffee and any sort of cupcakes are awesome in my book. Team Cheesecake: YES PLEASE. Team asparagus: Omg yes. Love asparagus. Team Sugar Skull: I've never tried one! I'd imagine I'd like it. Team Ginger: Yes! Team Mango: FAVOURITE FRUIT PRETTY MUCH. Dairy: Yes! Chicken: Yep! Raisins: I'm not crazy about them but they're not a deal breaker. Pumpkin: Yep! Avocado: Yes! Olives: I only really like fresh green olives. The others tend to be way too salty for me. Garlic: Mm yes please. Tofu: LOVE tofu. Grew up on it.   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 really love cooking, and since I'm moving out of home very soon, kitchen utensils and cookbooks would be FANTASTIC. Anything from little tongs, cute cutlery, really great knives, can openers- pretty much anything and everything!   How do you feel about maple syrup? Omg yes please. The real stuff is pretty much crack for me.   I have a few things that I do every Switch Witch round, would you find that boring and unoriginal? I've never done Switch Witch before, so hit me!   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I've never been hugely into Star Wars. My parents are Trekkies so I'm much more familiar with that series. Do you like beef jerkey? LOVE IT. YOU CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE IN AUSTRALIA.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Never really got into Buffy.   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? A head's up would be good!   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? YAY! I'm not really invested in the new series (anything past Nine has me a bit meh, to be honest) but my dad's an Old School Who fan and I absolutely love the Pertwee Baker era.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? YUM.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Ooh, yes please!   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 really like gore at all, or anything with ultra violence. Apart from that, I guess I'm okay. I like my fairytales dark, but I also have a pretty big soft spot for Disney so... I guess both!   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 whatsoever (used to have my ears done but they grew in D:), so unfortunately I won't be able to use any of this sort of jewelry!   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I don't really watch DVDs. I'd definitely be interested in the Daria box set though?   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I have NO idea! I'm moving to the States around that time and I really don't know what's on in the area in the way of live music.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? I'm notorious about losing things that I carry around with me and I'd hate to lose something that sentimental and dear to me. So I think I'm probably going to say not for me, on this one.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I love Star Trek! Grew up watching it since both my parents are Trekkies. I'll watch any series but my favourite character is Janeway. Followed closely buy Seven of Nine.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? I've never tried them before but they look absolutely delicious.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? I don't really have many photographs of anything other than family and friends, so I guess I'd feel pretty strange.   Dear Witchees, are you interested in sample boxes such as The Little Black Box or Sweet Diva boxes? I've never heard of either of those before but a quick google tells me sure, I'd be happy to receive something like that!   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? Sure do! I don't tend to wear them very often these days but I do quite like band t shirts. I'm usually a medium (sometimes a small, but I'd rather err on the side of caution.)   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc... I don't really mind, I guess? I love eating pumpkin but I've never been overly into soap or candles.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Never heard of it!   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'd LOVE that! I'm a sucker for international men of mystery candy so whatever you can think to throw at me, I'd be more than happy with.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? (http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks) If so, what color? I'm not really huge on those sort of socks.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? OOOOOOH. From the Lab, I'd order: Sprinklecake Halloween: Las Vegas Green Apple Golden Apple Black Apple Sonnet D'Automne Crowley How Doth The Little Crocodile Dorian Snake Oil Bliss Wensleydale Old Shanghai Mr. Nancy   And from the Trading Post, I'd order: ALL the hairglosses, ALL the roomsprays and maybe a Goldfish locket.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? Omg like EVERYTHING ON THE SITE. My wishlist is here, but obviously don't feel like you need to spend too much money!   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Ooh, yes! I really like number 15.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Wings, feathers, art noveau, fish and snake scales, leaves, swirls, birds. I quite like Day of the Dead skulls too.   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Ooh, err. That's a hard one. I'll have to come back to it.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Yes please! I love girly sweet booze, and I ESPECIALLY love little teeny bottles. They're adorable.   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Loooove fudge and brownies. I'm going to be moving to California but I've never experienced Californian weather and we have a metal mailbox so I think it'd be best to let me know in advance if ou're going to be sending anything?   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? LOVE IT.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I've never tried that company before! I'd be happy to give it a whirl though! I kind of like the look of their Darling set and their Old Masters set. Their sugar scrubs look intruiguing as well.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Nope.   Does anyone like kimchi? Omg yes, LOVE kimchi.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I love cryptic crosswords!   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Absolutely!   What do you really NOT want? Uhm... hm. No fur. Other than that, I guess I'm fairly easy. Just don't send me anything that you would feel uncomfortable receiving yourself, I suppose!   Interested in anything from Lush? I've never tried much Lush before (it's a bit expensive over here in Australia for me, plus I've never been HUGELY into soaps and whatnot) but I'd love to give it a shot! I'm not sure what the scents are like. If it helps, I like foodie/gourmand and light linen or florally scents.   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? WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY? I have never heard of anything like that before but that sounds freaking DELICIOUS.   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. I don't know! I've never used stuff like that before.   Do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I like the aesthetic!   Who here adores meringue? I like it but I'm not HUGELY crazy for it.   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? 3 free preferred. Have never had frankenpolish, but I'd love to try some. I adore any sort of glitter and I'll wear pretty much any colour excepting brown.   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 but I've already got more than enough. My favourite brand is Epically Epic Soaps on Etsy but I believe the maker's gone on maternity leave. However, my lovely roommate has chapped lips and if you'd like to include anything for her, that would be fantastic! I think she's fine with any flavour, provided it's not almond.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? I'd LOVE that. I love good pens, and I'm always lusting after new moleskines and markers and just.   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) That looks so freaking cool.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) OMG YES. Would love that so much. I don't do much painting but I do sketch (I prefer mechanical pencils). Copic markers would be. Guh. So cool. And I can never have too many sketchbooks and moleskines. I'd also love brushes!   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? Adorable! But I don't really wear shirts much these days.   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? I'm Australian so... $20 isn't actually much, and I'm not familiar with any of those stores. I guess based on my needs right now, I'd just grab nailpolish remover and dry shampoo.   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 think enjoy is an understatement. I love cooking and this would totally make my day.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? It probably depends on the subject. I actually really like high fashion makeup photography.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works That looks awesome. But also hella expensive. Please don't feel like you need to spend that much money, lovely witch <3   Amigurumi, yes or no? Sure!   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! Gah, good question. I'll have to come back with links. I stalk most of my art on Tumblr these days.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Oooh. I have no idea. Probably something super derpy like, I dunno. My family and closest friends, probably?   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles I don't really like candles.   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Bubble Tea Earl Grey Iced lemon tea with sugar/honey   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. OMG LOVE Ecotools! I can never have enough! They're so soft and fluffy and lovely and just <3   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Sounds cute! I love Lego.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. the Lab: Halloween Las Vegas and Sprinklecake, plus a decant of How Doth the Little Crocodile and a decant of Dee.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? I love way too many characters to list all of them here (funnily enough I don't really identify with any- just feels a bit weird). But off the top of my head: Ned - Pushing Daisies Shawn (and Gus, Lassi, Jules et al.) - Psych Chianna - Farscape Zev - Lexx The Grey Mouser- Chronicles of Lankhmar Alec- The Nightrunner Series Kurt Wagner- X-Men Kaylee- Firefly   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I like trying to capture an individual's energy, be it in their expression, their pose, even the colours used. I don't really have much of a process, save for the usual breaking things down into their basic shapes and working up from there. At the moment, I really like working with one or two colours per image, like blue and white, or green and yellow. Most of my work is digital.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I've only ever tried ONE Arcana scent and I'm not very familiar with the brand in general, so I guess no?   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Mm, I don't know. I'd feel a bit uncomfortable, I think. Plus we live in a gated community so getting to us would be a bit hard.
