Anyone like/want calendars or dayplanners? YAAAAAS I AM AN ADDICT.
If you like stationery, do you like plain, colors, images, or specific DON'T LIKES? Colors or images are fine, but mind I'm sending most letters to my grandmother so no like, explicit stationary.

I'll never say no to a new coffee mug...
anybody want homemade fudge? I can do chocolate with or without nuts, peanut butter, and butterscotch.
You had me at chocolate. Chocolate peppermint or chocolate marshmallow would be divine.

I do, though I'm less of a fan of buffalo sauce...more sriracha.
what would you like from the Weenies updatus giganticus??? Oh dear! I'm buying myself a bottle of Pumpkin Spice Snake Oil. I'd like to try Pumpkin Chypre and September Midnight (any year, really...) I'd try decants of The Apparition, Cardamom Cream Pumpkin Cake, Cinnamon Chai Cupcake (though I'm pretty sure the cinnamon won't like me...)

9/23/17
Are you interested in anything from Bath & Bodyworks? Which products and scents do you like? www.bathandbodyworks.com/
I'm a Marshmallow Fireside addict. I did buy two of the big 3-wicks during the sale (shh.) but I'd love to try it in a Wallflower. Bonus points if you can make my car smell like this.
I also really like the lavender & cedarwood aromatherapy line - smells like non-burning dryer sheets TKO on me. (TKO and I don't get along.) I have a 3-wick in this scent but I'd love it in a body lotion or other slather-it-on-yourself product.
The Vanilla and Patch aromatherapy was also of interest but I cut myself off during candle-palooza so I don't actually have anything that smells like this.
I don't any of the Holidays 2018 line for xmas when it comes out, I'm still limping through last year's haul of VBN and Twisted Peppermint!
I am possibly going to a crystal / gem show tomorrow. I can't afford expensive gem stones, but...
What kind of crystals would you like?
I'm really interested into getting into crystals! I think moonstones are cool and amethyst and just really, any crystal is a good place to start.
Pumpkin or Zucchini bread? Sure! Are you getting the notion that I like sweets and baked goods? Because I do.
What kind of homemade cookies are your favorite? Ooh...uhm...I am a big fan of oatmeal chocolate chip. Lemon cookies are love. Chocolate chip is a good old standby. Gingersnaps. I mean, really you can't go wrong with cookies.
Could you use a muscle rub? (We make ours on the lunar cycle and it has menthol, wintergreen, habanero, cayenne, olive oil, st. john's wort, arnica, beeswax, calendula, and ginger. It tingles. We call it "Thunder Butter". If you have really really super sensitive skin, I would recommend against it. And don't take a hot shower or open all of your pores before using it.)
I would like to try a tiny amount of this, and honestly maybe more for my hubby than me? I rash out from cinnamon so...
Interested in trying some of our rose petal (rose petals, sugar, everclear) or lavender vanilla bean (lavender, vanilla bean, vodka) liqueur?
I'm not super huge into floral liquor
Want some honey from the bees on our property?
Does a bear shit in the woods? Yes, fresh honey = love.
Would you like somemade jam? I have blackberry, rose petal, strawberry rhubarb, peach, and cherry.
YES. Rhubarb, peach, cherry, blackberry...
How about some homemade candied jalapenos with garlic cloves? I have regular and with habanero.
This...would scare me just a little.
I didn't dry any apples this year but I was thinking of heading over to Green Bluff and seeing if any honeycrisps are left. I have a commercial dehydrator so let me know if you are interested in any "Apple Crips" (as voodoocatwoman calls them!) I wash, peel, core, and slice before dehydrating.
YES PLEASE.
Do you need any kind of dice bag, tote, project bag, cosmetic bag, pencil bag, or whatever? I have lots of bag patterns and fabric. We make bags under the name Twinkle N Twilight.
Or how about a couple of pillowcases?
I would get use out of a dice bag and cosmetics bags.

Would my witchee like this to warm up the fall coffee cup?? https://www.truelemo...gory-s/1871.htm Oh heck yeah, I'd try that! I like their cherry limeade mmm
do you like to take baths? if so, do you like oils, salts, things that fizz, all of the above, none of the above? I like bath salts (not the drugs!), bombs, and I'll use some oils sparingly. I'm less into giant mounds of bubbles.
What style/make/etc of phone do you have? What about size of tablet? Laptop? I've got a Chromebook and I'd love a decal for it! It's a white shell and it's uh...14 inches? I think? I also have a Samsung Galaxy S6 phone in an otterbox. I'd love a PopSocket for it.
9/21/17
So, question: Are any witchees into coloring books? I am and I always welcome more!

Imagine you're going to the most gigantic art & craft show imaginable, and money is no object - what kind of things would you gravitate towards and probably spend money on? Include as specific as you want to get!
handmade candles and bath and body goodies - especially goat's milk lotion.
9/19/17
Are you interested in anything from Think Geek? http://www.thinkgeek.com
Hmmm...anything fandom themed.
Do you have something you wish you put on your original questionnaire/forgot to put/would like to add on to?
Huh, I don't think so.
If you could decorate your house (or one room) in any one theme, what would it be? Your answer can be as simple ("Star Wars" or "Baroque" or "Modern"), or complicated or a combination (e.g. Victorian Gothic) as you feel best fits.
Uhhh....I would say an art deco living room and a spa-like bedroom and my computer room could totally be Bioshock or Fallout themed...
Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting?
I do not, but I really should when cooking.
BTW, would my witchee be interested in something like this? (photo of black and white striped knitted doll)
No please, that's mildly terrifying.
9/18/17
It seems like there's a question about socks on the questionnaire, but I don't think it got down to this level: Do you wear them? Any particular style (crew length, knee high, anklet, boot, etc.) or fiber (wool, cotton, bamboo anything but wool, etc.) preference?
Anything over the calf needs to be for curvy girls. I have...athletic...calves. LOL. I'm interested in a good pair of wool hiking socks.

Oh yeah. I don't mind partially loved bpal.
So what are your favorite fandoms?

I'm not into tarot, but I've been wanting to try it. I've looked at decks and the linestrider seems to be calling my name. I'm open to other types as well though, so a beginner's book or some help is what I need

Pre-Round Questions
Motherhood 2016
Lilith says that the Mad Hatter should smell like tea (EARL GREY!) with honey and cream and lots and lots of cookies. I want to try it but I'm afraid of what the honey note will do on me. Decant worthy. Babys First Krampuslauf
Dark chocolate and a hint of woodsmoke.
None of these notes really work for me, I'm safe. Caldarium
Mulberry and honey myrtle with flax and rosemary. This is not my jam. Circus Bear
rose, gardenia, styrax, and frankincense splattered with cotton candy and the white glop in the middle of Oreos
Not something I'd enjoy but a cool concept! Connecting Flight
The distant scent of black coffee spiked with coffee liqueur and dusted with cinnamon.
I think I'll pass on this one. Dinnertime at the Diviners Hut
Tomato leaf and frankincense. Eugh I hate tomato leaf. Funerary Papyri
Myrrh and papyrus reed with a smear of vanilla cream frosting.
I bet this is nice but it's not grabbing me. Maybe I'll watch reviews. Good Morning, London
A scent for my bed-headed September 2nd Virgos: lavender for Lilith and amber for Brian.
#2 on my "buy a blind bottle" list from this update. Def want. Heavenly Spark
the echoes of the incense smoke of hundreds upon hundreds of years curling around roses and oak branches.
I don't do awesome with roses but again, sounds lovely! Heel
The scent of our backyard in summertime, the scent of Lilith trying to explain to Pickle how to heel correctly: honeysuckle, late summer jasmine, and mowed grass. Definitely want to try a decant. I got Goofin' with Stonehenge and that's already got a grass note. But I love honeysuckle! Holy Trinity
Soft riverbank soil, winter daffodils, fog-damp grass, curled pondweed, and frankincense.
Earthy, loamy scents don't work well for me usually. La Milagrosa
clusters of mariposa and mahoe, sprays of black orchid, loves red roses, and a thin drift of cigar smoke. Pass. Lilith and Sekhmet
Blood wine and amber. Pass. Lilith and the Four Sons of Horus
Golden honey and cassia. I'm afraid this would go to powder on me but lovely sounding. Little Lady Frankenstein
This should smell like electricity and potions.
I did my best, kid.
Oh man I want to know what this is like so bad! I love ozone. Watching for reviews and definitely need a decant. Maybe a bottle... Motherhood
Snake Oil, lavender, bubblegum, and gummi bears. You lost me at bubblegum. My Little Grotesque
Lilith expressing herself at the V&A: cardamom-dusted cupcakes.
Mmm cardamom. I want to try this one badly. Possibly blind bottle badly. O The Joy of My Spirit!
Crooked hazelnut and tonka with a touch of cacao and black pine.
I really want to test this but idk about pine? Decant and watch reviews. Outlaw
This one is for my little bandit: sarsaparilla, leather, and vanilla cream. Hmm my husband perked up at this one so maybe a bottle. Perfect Fifths
Bow rosin and bubblegum. Nope! Plush Viscera
Lilith says this should smell like blood and guts, but also strawberries. We came to a compromise through a combination of Dragons blood resin, myrrh, and smushed strawberries with a little bit of lavender. She sprays lavender essential oil on her plushies every night before bed, so she thinks plush innards should get the same treatment. So curious, but I dont think I'll buy it. Review stalk. Reapers Gonna Reap
Lilith says this perfume should smell like pretty meat bones, and her translation of that is a musky vanilla sandalwood.
Yes yes yes I'm buying a bottle yes. San Cristóbal de la Habana
Cubas white ginger blossoms, guava pulp, and mango with a touch of white tobacco and sea salt. Decant shortlist Spider Witch
My little witch, my little lilt of laughter: this scent is for the sorceress you are and the sorceress you will grow to be. 7-year aged patchouli, red musk, and bourbon vanilla with sweet oudh, hazelnut, amber chypre, leather.
Interested and potentially decant worthy...Bottle? Idk Stonehenge at Dusk
Wiltshires burnt-tip orchids, a scattering of dandelions, crushed grass, wild daffodil, and chips of fog-wet bluestone.
I picked up the trading posts stonehenge scent so pass. Texare
This scent is inspired by the colors of the yarns she chose that day: raspberry pink, cherry red, sky blue, and lime green, all swirled with frankincense, black oudh, mallow root, and sweet wooly vanilla husk.
Again, not for me but cool and I want to stalk reviews! The Devil Will Find Work for Idle Hands
This scent is a ridiculous mélange of blue cotton candy, strawberry marshmallows, and whipped cream with sprinkles.
Too sweet but very fun! The Great Python Snake
Lilith says that Kaa smells like the jungle, so for her and for the Great Python Snake, Ive bottled an impenetrable canopy of thick, vine-draped trees, primeval flowers blooming in the shadows, and dark, wet earth that has not been touched by sunlight in a millennia.
Pass. The Library of John Dee
Worn leather bindings, the dry crackle of ancient paper, styrax and onycha, frankincense, a drop of candle wax, and the barest fleck of dried Tudor roses. Curious but will watch reviews. The Twelfth
This is the scent of room service vanilla ice cream and leftover cake with a little bit of banana.
Home girl doesn't do banana. The Wolf and the Rattlesnake
NO NOTES LISTED
SO CURIOUS! decant? Vampire Night at the Movies
An odd mix of salted popcorn, butter, clove, and a few drops of stage blood.
Again, pads. Soooo...maybe a few bottles. Will wait for weenies.
Moar Questions!

2017/2018 Update Notes and Bottle Love
0-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Vanilla cake with sprinkles and red velvet cupcakes, with a touch of climbing wisteria and sparkling apple cider.
I would sniff a decant of this, but I don't see myself needing a bottle.
A CUTE KID
Pale lavender and Tahitian vanilla with a smudge of chalk dust and a pop of strawberry bubblegum.
Bottle - I'm not sure about the bubblegum, but I love the lavender used in Liliths!
LIKE FATHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Pomegranate cotton candy.
I love the bottle art but I'm not a cotton candy person, though I do like pomegranate. Sniffie territory. MORNING IN THE CITY OF ANGELS
Sunflowers and California poppies, vanilla-tinged oak bark, and a spill of sugary breakfast cereal.
I'm not sure I'd enjoy this one.
MY LITTLE THEMYSCIRAN PRINCESS
Rich, sweet, valiant amber, coconut milk, honeyed saffron, gleaming gold-gilded leather, and sweet olive blossom.
Decant - Leather gives me pause,
SPINNING ON GRAVES
Dorian and lavender mist, crushed grass, cypress leaf, and a drop of clove.
I think I'd try a bottle of this one? Clove gives me serious pause, but I did like the clove in Mabel this year so...maybe. Dorian and Lavender in the same bottle is bliss usually, though, so I'd half-bottle for sure...but might blind bottle.
THE PILLORY
Caramelized rum ice cream with a splatter of berries.
Pass.
WEDNESDAY’S CHILD IS FULL OF WOE
A little kid’s interpretation of a gothy goth perfume: sugared clove and vanilla patchouli with cacao, dried Avignon rose petals, and a bit of black cherry.
I'd want a half-bottle of this one...maybe a fb based on reviews.
ZIP LINE
Brown leather and bourbon vanilla with honeyed oudh and cinnamon buns.
I'm generally not a leather person but this one does have me curious. I'd try a decant.
Motherhood 2017
Admete
Driftwood and sea salt submerged in a marine layer, a touch of sweet carnation, bright neroli, and a sandy strip of kelp.
This is one I labeled as blind bottle it. Sounds pretty awesome, though I'm not always an ambergris fan. Apocalyptic Horseprincess
Crushed mint and neon lime, sour candy powder, and wild plum.
Pass. Babys First Con Panel
The scent of the soft pretzel we hid in our backpack, plus a bit of leftover chocolate chip cookie.
Pass. Brunch Witches
Pumpkin pancakes and berries in cream.
Pass. Cemetery Creep
Marble-white musk, orris root, and vanilla blossom.
I'm super curious...I'm just afraid the orris will go baby powder. Otherwise...half bottle or decant. Closet Raid
This is the scent of generations of children raiding their parents closets: my grandmother and mothers Chanel No. 5, my father and grandfathers Lilac Vegetal, my Snake Oil, and Liliths lavender blossoms.
This one is definitely on my check-reviews radar. I think a half-bottle would be great, or possibly a full bottle based on the reviews. Dancing Among the Tombs
Osmanthus and jasmine, Spanish moss and dandelion, Snake Oil and Dorian.
Yes, yes, yes. Bottle. Daybreak
Last nights lavender drops and a whiff of Pickles vanilla coconut pupper shampoo.
Blind bottle! Do All the Good You Can
Madagascar vanilla and sweet patchouli with Yule pine, white fig, and almond blossom.
Pine gives me SERIOUS pause because pencil shavings/hamster bedding. However, if reviews come back positive I want a decant. Do You Like Clowns?
Raspberry ice cream and a smear of black cherry lip gloss.
I'm watching reviews, but generally not my thing. I'd try a decant though. Ego Sum Lux Mundi
Frankincense and myrrh with golden amber, green apple pulp, and white pear.
Curious, but going to hold off on it, though I would not say no to a decant. Gas Masks and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails
Cotton candy and jellybeans with sugar cookie crumbles and vanilla frosting.
Pass. The Goddess of Mischief
White lavender and sweet amber, green oudh, and inky musk.
I don't know what to make of green oudh or inky musk! Even so, I think a decant or half bottle. Heck on Wheels
Red velvet confetti cupcakes and bubblegum.
Cupcake scents have been going plastic on me *cries* so pass. Huntress
Funnel cakes, baked apples, and strawberry cream.
Mebbeh a decant? Not sure I'll enjoy it. Little Photojournalist
Cathedral incense and rock candy.
Pass. Paying Her Respects
Star jasmine and tobacco leaf.
I love star jasmine but I tend to amp tobacco so...hesitantly watching reviews. Decant maybe. Pew! Pew!
Blue raspberry slushy, a bowl of strawberries, and microwavable popcorn
Pass.
Poke!
Coconut and red currant, red musk, and a pop of surgical steel.
Thinking about blind bottling this one. HB at a minimum. Potamides
Honeysuckle and honey, water lilies and white sage.
Considering blind bottling this one too. Honeysuckle has been doing it for me and my mom said "Oh I bet it smells like the old lake place!" so, nostalgia factor.
Snowball Fight!
Snowballs and vanilla ice cream.
I'm hoping for a Snowblind! Bottle! The Spectral Flower Girl
Black lilies, red roses, and babys breath.
Sounds like it could go Old Lady on me. Pass...but I will stalk reviews just in case... Storyboard: Julius Caesar
Macerated myrrh, rose petals, and iris with frankincense and a splash of blood.
Pass. Storyboard: The Tempest
Ivy and lime rind, marigold and moss.
Pass Valuable, Powerful, Deserving
Golden amber, vanilla oudh, and orange blossom.
Haunting reviews hardcore. Hoping it's a hit so I can get a bottle. Vampire Princess
Blood musk and lavender with bourbon vanilla, plum oudh, black patchouli, and Romanian wildflowers.
It has me curious. What's a blood musk like? I tend to rock bourbon vanilla. I think maybe a decant is in order, or a half-bottle. Winter at the Capitol
The hope and valor of iris blossoms twined with chrysanthemums bold fearlessness, violets vigilance, oleanders caution, and white and red roses for unity.
Pass because violets.
