Updated Questions Of section day 6

What items from the Weenie update interest you, should you have to option of getting anything as a gift from your Witch??? Would you be ok with decants, or bottles? I answered this before it was done on what i want size wise, I am great with decants. Dont get me wrong I LOVE the bottle art but unless i KNOW its a KILL me i NEED it scent a bottle is overkill   9/24/15   Blu-ray or DVD? either i watch it all on a playstation 3   Game systems - console or computer? Mac/PC? Which console? we have in active service a playstation 3 and a WiiU i also have a newish mac for relative computer games. Problem is games for the most part have to be kid friendly i am literally never parted from the 3 year old. I gave my older kids a little fright when I tried to play Skyrim a few years ago and they were MUCH older   Are you dressing up for Halloween and if so do you need any accessories for if? I WISH thing I have always wanted to dress up as is Ursula from the little mermaid. I dont sew that much by myself and all my co conspirator seamstresses have gone. So I will be the grumpy grown up again   Talk to me about bags, what kinds do you like? Sizes and styles? okay here is I have something i need help with. I need niceish large should bag. It needs to be able to hold a LOT of kid crap. I have one that just not working but its all i have. The oldest is now on cheer team and if its anything like irish dance I will need a Mom bag with everything she could possibly need in one place plus first aid supplies. I am not a small woman so it needs to have a nice space for my chubby arms. You don't have to get it for me, unless you know a cheap way to do so. Links to likely bags would be a god send as i dont shop much for those kind of things.   What are your favorite fandoms and do you want to receive anything related to such? oh man fandom. I Love some fandoms skate around the huge ones and devolve into my little ones. I Love Anime Fandoms I have written for Hikaru no go, Saiuke, Host Club, Prince of Tennis, Skip beat, Bujold's VorKosigan series. I read Naruto, Teen Wolf (Fluffy Stereck for the Win), Fluttering around Marvel movie verse and Who HASNT read some HP.       Do you like fanfic? Would you like a story written for you as part of your gift? What characters/fandoms/pairings etc do you like? hehehe yes I LOVE fanfiction and if you are going to write me some crack i will adore it and Heap Kudos on your head. Favorite pairings humm Akira/Hikaru (HnG) Tezuka/Fuji (PoT) CRACK Naruto/Sasuke (happy is better and exasperated Sasuke is a Joy) Harry/Draco if you work it right but it must be Crack happy (If you ever read Mistfuls stories before they were pulled they were works of ART)   What are you planning to order from the Weenies update?

Is there anything you might want? (Besides a turkey leg, which won't ship well!) unless you happen upon an extra large black cloak Nope, if you get the cloak i will pay postage   Do you like comics or graphic novels? Any issues or collections you want to read? okay this is a fun place right now for Comics and for our house. My oldest is in LOVE with Captain marvel. She has the first graphic novel and is drooling for more of them. So yes we want Comics but have sense in that its the 10 year old that after them. For myself i am curious about the Wicked and Divine (have they done a collection yet?       Where do you have wishlists at? If you could please link to them or to a post that links to them. (Amazon, Etsy, Think Geek, Pinterest, Sephora, Lush, BPAL/BPTP, Soap Box Company, everywhere and anywhere!) before answering I want you to know i DONT expect things from my lists I keep them as idea catchers and reminders fro when i am like i SAW this thing i wanted i have some spare cash   I have lists on Amazon(cant figure out how to get a link but its under my name) I have a Paintboxsoap list but for the life of me cant figure out how to share it so i will shove that into the amazon one   Etsy there is one but then again i cant figure out how to list it its under my name, I got lost for 3 HOURS in there   mY pinterest boards have some good ideas its under my name so SHOULD be find able   Sephora scares me, i need a GOOD face moisturizing oil but i can AFORD the lovely 75 dollar bottle they recommended ( if you want to send me a sample that you like with WHERE the heck i can find it if i like it that would be a great gift)   Lush stuff is on the Amazon list     Let's say you have indicated interest in receiving a hand knitted item. What colors, exactly, do you like? If you could provide color swatches here or to pinterest (or something visual), that would help out a lot. I can do that! I will work on it and it will have its own post       Would you rather receive a bunch of little packages through the round, a couple of medium packages, or one big package at the end? I am great with either just PLEASE talk to me ecard post card little notes form other telling me you were thinking of me and had them talk to me so i had adult conversation         For those of us with out-of-country Witchees, would you be happy with receiving a few packages from local to you merchants (say, through Etsy or equivalent)? totally   Would Witchees like something from IKEA? no ikea its not me to many SHARP corners on EVERYTHING   If/when you go to the mall, for which store(s) do you beeline? I admit it i hit the disney store hot Topic and When they had it Coldwater Creek.

RECALCITRANT DRAGON   Is there a GC you've been dying to try but haven't got around to yet?   The questionnaire asked about gold & silver jewelry, but how do you feel about copper jewelry? Do you like colorful jewelry, or do you prefer to keep it neutral? I like it but my skin EATS copper   We asked about decorating style, but are you interested in receiving decorations for your home? Are you interested in things that go on the wall or things that go on shelves? Nope I ahve WAY to much such stuff already   Office supplies hound? Pens, pencils, journals, any preference, or favorites? is it wrong to tell you I love colored sharpies and such and cant keep a hold of them for anything. or the dreamy thing of a comfortable pen. you know one with a cushy place for your fingers to grip it but not to chunky and not to costly   Talk to me about socks! Is there anything, dear, dear Witchee, that I can get for you from Sock Dreams? Anything from another place? okay i made a sockdreams wishlist and if your in the amazon list you will see others from there. I have been having serious health issues with my feet and so sock have become a life thing. I want soft but lighter weight right now but i will need WARM soft ones as soon as winter descends here in Ohio. on this i shave never had hand made socks so if you were brave on that front i would try them and report back   I live near a huuuuge candy store. What kind of candy do you like? Gummies? Caramel? Chocolate? Sour? Sugar-free? Oh gods dont tempt me with more sugar ai am supposed to be giving it up   9/26/15   How do you feel about animal products? Not so much animal toys or food, but more like furs, paws, bones, etc. I am not into bones but as long as the animal wern't made to suffer to much Bring on the furs   Are you interested in receiving any restaurant.com gift certificates for your area? Nope i checked it out and no where we will go has them around here. That the problem with living in the restaurant capital its rather snobby with food around here. if you can find cheap cards to main stream places like Red Lobster, Carrabba's Italian or Texas Road House those we would use and the kid would cheer about them.       So I got your card, if you need me to answer something specific just let me know!

Oh man i LIKE big colorful fluffy pillows. I love textures and well as long as it isnt a pastel floral i am pretty good with pillowness.   purses? bags? What style/colors? Okay here is a confession. Ia m a woman who dosn't carry a purse, I like them but the ones i want cost to much money and the ones i can afford i dont want. What i want is a BIG leather purse that is butter soft and To big for me to forget.   Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors? Okay I LOVE LOVE LVOE hair sticks, problem is they ahve to be bright and sturdy enough to hold up THICK heavy hair. I snap little ones or they jsut arnt enough to hold it up. I need at least 7 inc of usable stick. I LOVE LOVE wooden ones that are about the size of good chop sticks. They need to be rounded and smooth or my hair eats them. I used to have some beautiful red ones what i wore for years. I accident snaped them when i had my hair to high and wound it to tight on the stick, I was sad   Would you like anything from Starring Fragrances. They make awesome hair stuff, natural deoderant, and home fragrance (and a ton of other stuff, those are just my favs)? humm not sure wonder if i can find a link. (ill get back to you)   March 16   For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer? I have to admit i dont wear them but hey i am willing to try anything, and if i could get a green apple lip gloss I could be a convert     Are there any fancy/gourmet/special herbs or spices that you'd love to receive? ie: good quality vanilla or other extracts, vanilla beans, saffron, lavender, etc. - I have ALWAYS wanted to try some fo these but well i cant bring myself to pay what they want for them. Some vanilla extract of good quality would never go bad around ehre though   What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you? I like canines from domestic to wild. Hubby calls me the alpha bitch and well it isnt a bad thing   If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want?

What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?)

Be specific: if there are BPAL soaps you want to try or are dying for more of, tell all here! Also, any other companies people like or love? Villainess, maybe? Or Lush? What flavors??? All of these would be on the amazon list   What periods of art do you love most? Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco? The romanticism of Art Nouveux? The strange lines of Cubism? I am almost an art idiot- I like color but not art deco, i like motion but not anything sloppy. I love the art of some of my manga artists but then again like Van goh and the impressionists.   Would you like caffeinated lollipops?: umm no http://www.lollyphil...cks-caffeinated   Copied CD's or DVD's? I am not so into these unless its something they havnt put out on dvd legally   I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you? Umm no   March 15   Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds? Yay but only nice ones   Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay? not so much   Do you like amurigami dolls?nope   Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most? NINJA rule MAN   Do you like wearing things in your hair? If so, what kind (snap clips, scrunchie, headband, etc), how big & crazy (lowkey, bigger the better), and colors. Most of this stuff is for the girls, But i do like them. I mostly use plain black or brown bands in my hair if its not up in hair sticks   Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere? ears   Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things) hummm not so much a chocolate person but strange things sound good to try i can say i like sea salt but want much on curry   March 14   surprise! the world has given you the day off.

Yea Nay? yay   If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? Oh yeah I liek this idea   If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW (Not that any of you will make any bpal orders until SW is over, because you do NOT want to mess up any plans your witch might have!)

If so, things you'd love to try out? oh man yes yes i go, i go through the pampered chef lemon seasoning like it was easy to get hold of.

ALLERGIC to TEA ( i can have herbal stuff and i really like them) Hubby has developed a new thing for mint teas so he would like any of those   Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?)

dear witchie

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

here we go the rest of the list- i am CAUGHT UP   9/8/10 Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? Actually I sat thinking about this for awhile.

First round of questions answered

I am working on the great list of questions, if you have questions i am willing to answer them   9/4/10 Are you into Austen's books?  Umm no, although if you had an Old battered copy of pride and prejudice that i can try and read again i have been told to try again now that i am older   Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I did but I lost my deck last year to the Girls who thought they were just big playing cards. I would love a new set, but they would need a nice box that I can put up unnoticed   So for those of you who are into Harry Potter at all, which house do you think you'd be sorted into? I am a Ravenclaw through and through (I used to miss the bus because I was sitting there reading when it came)   What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure?I have to admit I watch Mythbusters about any time I watch an actual SHOW. But my guilty pleasure is Palidia chanel with all the concerts. I LOVE live music and having it on my tv is an extra bonus   If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? Hummm as a largish person I try NOT to go out in public but I would love one of those bright scarves to use while I do my belly dancing exercise   Celebrity crush?:Keanu Reeves, followed closely by Brad Pitt with orlando Bloom hanging around for effect.   Knitted things?:YES, although I am sensitive to itchies with some fibers. BUT I have to say one of my not so secret wishes is for a LONG ravenclaw scarf for me and a slitheren on for the hubby   What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs?hummm never had a mixed dvd what is on that?   DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? You philistine how could you even mention formatted in my presence   Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? I like both, the only thing is I like to listen to mix cds in the car which dosn't do mp3s   Do you like scented tarts? I don't have anything to do anything with them not against them just not sure what they Do   Lip balms? yes but only really good balms. A past witchy set me up with my lip stuff ( mylipstuff.com)and I have been in love with it every since but I am almost out with winter in Ohio approaching   Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? Sorry the only thing I have is pieces ears and I am always on the look out for new studs that my ears won't eat.   Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some I lvoe booze and any that come to the house will be drunk by someone     What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) humm I love lots of artists but it is the pieces not the artist themselves that draw me in. I love the early works of Kim McElroy ( http://www.spiritofhorse.com/ ) her illusionary horses are in person just amazing. I find her more recent stuff and her new world view a little wooo woo. I live to read about what ever Ursula Veron ( http://www.redwombatstudio.com/ )has come up with to do this time. I adore this woman and some day will make a pilgrimage to a con shes attending just to shake her hand and thank her for all the laughs I have had since following her lj all those years ago. If she ever does DO the hamsutra I Have GOT to have one!! I like bright gorgeous colors but I also like classics such as van gogh's sunflowers and starry night. Monet depending on the canvass. I like color and I like it In your face. Humm I wonder if this answer makes any sense to anyone not me.     9/03/10 Hallowe'en plans? kidlet trick or treating, I am thinking the spawn should be faeries this year so I am looking for cost effective wings and so on.   Mix Cds?oh yeah   Girlyness level? That depends on a day to day basis I am almost a man. Exept for my vainness about getting my hair put up every day. But I LOVE LOVE to pamper myself sometimes, I indulge in things like bubble baths and I LOVE the Ice prince Oil (I should horde it but oh its so relaxing) On the other hand no one in their right mind things i am a guy.   9/02/10 Baked goods: all for this I love baked foods   Gifts for other household members: the girls if not given their own will probably mis appropriate something from the packages   Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Hummm My poor little wishlist for bpal is so smallish right now. That most of what ON it I will take in what ever form I can get my grubby paws on it and be a VERY happy camper for getting it   social networking usernames, ie twitter, facebook, livejournal, ravelry, anything else: I am on LJ as therhoda, dreamwidth as the same. I don't post much and most of what i DO post is fandom and whiny. But feel free to add me.   would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? The deals on groupon look sweet but I am not sure anything Would be ME there.   How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? I am fat!@ sooo you are look at a mens large or a womens xl or xxl as far as tops. I am a size 22 top and a size 20 pants. But I would love some nice flannel anything, I tend to sleep in old flannel shirts in the winter, I tend to steal them from male relatives or beg for them for holidays.

the first

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

i have been poked

All right i have been poked. today was traumatic so i am behind on most things. But i think the question you want answered is the whole kidlets costume thingy. i am nto against it, i am really leaning towards make both of them faeries or princesses. I haven't gotten stuck on EITHER yes but that the lean. if you want to send them something for it then Go on, if they dont' end up with it for their costumes i am sure it will be put to use in their dress up clothes.   i am not really up to anymore tonight.

So on the top right now is Hana-Kimi (I have it all AND The art book but havn't found the extras shes been doing), Saiyuki (I am waiting like a MAD woman for Gaiden to get released in the states), Ouran Host Club and I think Hikaru no Go (damn Viz for not giving me all the DVDS) I love so many other and there are particular character to which I may not like the manga so much as the character     Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Oh sure   If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Oh yep that would be fine       OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? How do people feel about word magnets- SOCKS , I would kill for some soft soft soft soft socks, I actually like mid calf or higher so I can slouch them down   9/14/10 Chocolate or other types of candy?not chocolate   For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags?i like loose but I am always on the look out for herbals   If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? Shawl you say? If it was WARM and Soft and BIG I would so use it this winter as I huddle in front of my computer. I shall look around etsy to see if I can find some ideas of it is to look at. went and spent 3 hours surfing etsy knitting things I added a few of the shaws I liked to my great list of DOOM and then while I was there I added lots of yarns that made me go all covetous     Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? I would love to be like someone so far no luck   Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? butchers twine and some lemony seasoning   Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit?  Hehe my own question. I like LIVE and I like mine un censored I can't STAND the stupid edits the do for the radio   If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most?yes I am a horse and big dog lover   Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I love flowers I like them LOUD and bright. Gerber daisies, lilies, Poppies   Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? Oh man I have been stuck on Smile by Lilly Allen (shes such a naughty thing) this week favorite verse-   At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile     WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. Heaven willing and the creek don't rise – I say this A LOT   What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent w here even a tester would do)    Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.)my girls love lots of things but I have a strict no annoying toys rule. As I think its unfair to make me even crankier than I already am   Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that – humm fanfic recs are GOOD but finding things for me can be a challenge. If you do want to go that route I can give you my favorite communities and or pairings. A couple of my authors do charity writing in my section I sooo wanted a story written for the help Pakistan drive but didn't have the 10 bucks to bid on it. I gobble itunes cards like candy. I have never done anything with netflix or the like but I am not knocking it.   What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang)  Hummm this has changed with my health going down hill and the alcohol allergy no more bottle of blue label whiskey for my dinner. Ia m not sure what I would ask for now.     NaNoWriMo? Yes and I am thinking of trying YET again.

nooo not snarky TV

Damn damn damn, I didn't need to see the Castle Pilot really I DONT NEED A snarky TV show to watch. So witch i thought i should mention i have been adding to the great WANT list of doom at amazon. Its become a kinda wonder land of things i want. So i will at some point NEED the rest of this show. It has fabulous music, to go with snarky dialog, its all things love. But i have only now seen two episodes the first and one some where in season 1 (it was about a girl rocker's death) so i can't do any fandom or anything like that YET.   Well the oldest just woke and puked her dinner down the stairs, I was thinking ti would be an early night for me. No such luck.

question answers so far

What kind of candy/sweet treat would you like to receive? I like sour gummies, reese cups and cherry stuff Would you personally rather get handmade jewelry or the beads to make something yourself? Made but please no sharp or pointy edges. I once had a small cross get impaled on my collar bone and it HURT 12/4 It seems like there are quite a few knitting witches, so I assume they are on the Ravelry forum as well. If so, what are your names on there so I can stalk you? Sorry not crafty Speaking of which, how many Browncoat witches do we have?? And if you are, would you be interested in getting a Kaylee parasol? If not, would you be interested in getting a paper parasol hand painted with your favorite colors? Is there any time during the holidays (or the rest of the round) when you'll be away from home for a significant period and it'd be best not to send anything by mail? Not that I am aware To make up for the fact that I probably won't be able to send my witchee homebaked goodies, will Tim Tams in any number of varieties be an acceptable replacement? Sure Hand beaded jewellery, yay or nay? YAY Which witches would like hair accessories: clips, scrunchies, hairsticks, headscarves, etc? I love scarfs and Long hair sticks. It has to be longer than 6 inches or it won't even go through my mop let alone hold On a similar note, who likes yarn? What kinds/colors/weights/fibers? Handspun? Glitter? Funky art yarn made from shredded jeans, fake flowers, lace, sequins, and the tattered souls of your enemies? Oh tatter souls would be nice Other craft supplies you desperately want more of and can't live without? nope   Anyone else a total nerd like me and would like DnD/Roleplay stuff (Dice, minis, books, corny tees, etc.)? I have all mine thanks How do people feel about unusual ornaments? As in, for holidays other than Christmas? Is it sparkley? If so I will love it on my tree.   Question: who would like a pair of handknit socks? Size? Color preference? Cabled, ribbed (for your pleasure), stranded colorwork, etc.? Ohh can they be Warm soft socks? If so I am a womans ten and I LOVE bright colors How does everyone feel about steampunk? Its not for me, I like a more natrual look   Since we're talking about warm winter wearables, who likes hats? Mittens? Arm warmers? Okay if you happen to be a knitter we need those type things in this house. As my previous post showed I need a largish hat for me. But I could use kid size mittens with strings attaching them. Hubby would probablly worship anyone that made him some nice mitten for his hands (hes like a medium size hand)   If your witch were to send you cookies, what kind of cookies would you like? I like sugar cookies   Who likes tshirts? What about homemade tshirts? Like with transfers I made myself.... I love tshirts, if they are smart elic and wise they are even better 12/3 Would you like to receive ATCs (artist trading cards) or would you prefer something more usable, like bookmarks or something? Books marks for me. Not that between cats and Kids they last long.
