Some tiny place?) but I also want to know the other stuff: top 3 flavors, loose or bagged, the kinds of tea accessories you use- or have always wanted. Be specific. Provide links if necessary. New Mexico Tea Company and Tea Trekker Horjicha and Roasted Kukicha tea’s are my favorite. I also love their ginger. I like a good full bodied Oolong with a hearty flavor and a deep green tea is never amiss. I do not flavored teas unless they are well done and natural. Had a wonderful tangerine, black tea once. Prefer loose teas as well. Villainess is putting out brand new stuff for the first time in a while (as opposed to bringing back former lines). Sooo.... who wants it?

Soooo, would you want it? I do not play video games. Have you read The Martian? Or do you plan on watching the movie? No and if I have time Pertaining to that, how does everyone feel about such things? Will anyone be participating? How about NaNo swag, is there any you want? Not sure what that is

Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?
I have never tried them. Not sure I would want a whole bag but to try.
What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style?
My kitchen looks like crap to be honest. I have old peeling linoleum and my appliances do not match. Hey I was struggling.

Target has adorable hand towels and mugs in their The Oddities Shop Boutique that I love.

Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round?
I wish, but no.

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?
None now that it is just me. I never get trick or treaters they go the rich part of town. Trust me I tried to lure them in with old Halloween music and lots of jack-o-lanterns, but to no avail. I usually sit by myself watching out the window. So this year since not even my daughter’s friends will come by I think I will just watch T.V.
Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things? I like s'mores themselves,especially with homemade marshmallows. S'mores flavored things not as much.

Cute but useful kitchen stuff: I love kitchen gadgets. I also am digging on the cool kitchen things Target has in their designer shop The Oddities Shop. I love the mugs and towels.
Bento supplies: I wish, but it would just sit in a cabinet not getting the love it deserves.
Spice Mixes: Yep and I love Penzy's spices.

Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you?I love homemade goodies!!!!
I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! Why is this such a difficult question? I think I would buy a couple pair of sweat pants. I know odd, but I was just think I would love some sweatpants and warm ankle socks to keep my feet warm. Oh and also a large hair pick to comb my hair.
What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurants?I love Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Argentinian, Greek, Turkish, Indian, and Spanish.

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?

But it will be something that you need to be there to receive.a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries?c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously?
My daytime address would be work so not the one on my questionaire and sure my phone number is fine. Some delivery’s would be cool, a singing one not so much. We are a university and my office is across from the tutoring center so they may not appreciate the interruption.

Dear snow bunny, do you like candles? if yes, then what kind? scented (what scents), unscented, what colors, do you like them plain/painted on the outside/with decorations attached to the surface/sculpted?

How about mulling spices?
I do not like mulled cider much.
Groupon for Moxie Nouveau! Dear Bunneh, is this something that would interest you?

Are you Nano-ing this month, bunny? If so, how would you feel about merch/donations to the cause?
I am to busy writing in my two litriture courses this semester to even think about it. Donations to any cause are always great though.

Pink?
I am not a huge fan of pink especially girly pinks and hot pinks
Lemon?
I am not a huge fan of any fruit flavored stuff, I do like lemon in candles sometimes.
Fingerless mittens, here, please. Or gloves. I could really use a pair of leather gloves. Or a NyanCat or Fourth Doctor scarf. I could use anything from any Doctor love them all. The Nyancat scarf was adorable as well. I would love a pair of fingerless gloves.

Any crafty pursuits you’ve been dying to experiment with? Would you like a little kit of something you’ve never tried? Do you need any particular items for your new or existing stash?

Milk or dark chocolate:
I like both but prefer dark, just not super dark.
Sooo. Yules. Those just happened. What are you interested in, Bunny?
I did not order any decants this year to broke and xmas is coming, but many of the Frankenstein and Little Match Girl sound devine as long as they do not have an abundance of rose or strong floral. COLDER AND COLDER, Midnight Mass, and anything with oak, frankincense,or vanilla sounds good.
Coin purses: I don't really use that much, except for the time I've been in Japan, because at least half of their currency is in coins, and cash is more prevalent than plastic. So, if I ever go back, I'd love to have one!
If your fox were to knit something for you, would it be a lacy shawl or a pair of socks?
A Shawl would be lovely, then again my feet are always cold surprise me

I love stripes and harlequin, polka dots not so much.
Bunny, are you interested in anything from Geek Chic Cosmetics?
I am not much of a makeup wearer
Chile, yay or nay?
I live in New Mexico so chili is something we already have a ton of.
Would you rather have an early reveal, or would you prefer one close to the end of the round?
That is up to you.
Stuffed microbes from Think Geek
I am sorry though they are adorable I am not sure what I would do with one and since I suffer from anxiety issues and OCD both leaning towards freaking out on medical issues I may not be the best candidate for one.
I do not know about anyone else but after answering so many of these I start to feel guilty. To me it seems I am greedy saying oh yeah I want stuff from here and stuff from there. Fox to be truthful the GC was enough. I feel absolutely spoiled already and am quite content.
A question: reveal, yes or no?
I will probably reveal and would like to know who to thank.
Any favorite cuddly characters?
I do not really have any place to put stuffed animals.
Charity gifts? Either fair-trade type stuff, or virtual type gifts, like vaccinations or school supplies being bought on your behalf, or something along those lines?
For something like this I would have maybe grant a wish on the wishuponahero.com site.
Bunny, are you interested in tarts from Two Timing Tart? What scents, if any, are you interested in?
Any of the Sunday Best or The Darkroom. As do Sex Kitten and Satin Sheets
Do you need any holiday recipes? Is there something in particular that you'd like baked or made for you? And for those of you doing the no sugar/low sugar, etc. thing these days, how about savory things? I love savory things and sweet things. I am watching what I eat now, but take one day off a week and will get some carbs.recipes are always great as well.
Does anyone have issues with gently used things like books, etc.?
I buy almost everything used, even most of my daughters and my cloths come from the thrift store.
Are you a big ol' nerd for any particular subject? Science, math, linguistics, etc? Or particular authors/fandoms?
Doctor Who rocks my world. I am also a big Harry Potter fan.
Hi there witch I hope your ninja stalking is going well. I apologize for being a bit of a wet blanket at times. This past few months has been a rough period in my life and some days it just totally overwhelms me. Due to my anxiety issues I have no one in real life to talk to about stuff like this, the few people close to me are the ones I need to mentally support or protect. So I might dump it here as its easy and I can be the quivering bowl of insecure, sad, self-conscious jello that I really feel like sometimes.
OK now back to the fun. I said this on the thread, but there are so many pages I just want to make sure you realize I expect nothing fancy or expensive. I am a window shopper everything I like goes on my wishlist as you never know I may meet someone who will have to buy me goodies or win the lottery. If you are crafty I would be thrilled what ever amazing things you might create. If you are not crafty garage sales and thrift stores are my normal place to shop. My entire wardrobe is almost completely second hand. OK my scent wishlist has quite a few very rare scents. I do not expect them from you, again it is just what I do with wishlists.I tried to put some easy to find LE's as well as general catalogue on there as well. I really have the most difficult time picking scents so would love some help with imps from whatever company you may have lying around. I also am trying some of the new weenies and somewhere posted some Arcana scents I would like to try. I think the most important thing to say though I may seem a flake and yes I am one, but one who is so very thrilled to have someone take the time to do something special for her; you cannot imagine how much I appreciate it.
If you are crafty I am VintageTreasureChest on ETSY so you can see what crafty things I like. Oh I love foreign newspapers especially Asian or French I am learning decoupaging or am at least messing around with it and want to try somethings with newspaper. I also love really old magazines from the 1900 to around 1940's. especially if they are over-sized I live in a small town, but sometimes find them at garage sales. So if you happen to see any, maybe you can think of me.
Anyway I just want to thank you for taking the time to think of me to my witch. .
Social media? My Livejournal is mojomomma68 though I am not really sure how to use it. Facebook is mojomomma as well or just my name.
From the Weenie Update....Will have to get back you you on this one as there are so many scents to read through.
Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?I do not really paint my finger nails as they are very thin and go all wonky when I try to grow them. I do my toe nails a couple of times a year.
Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?
“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none" ~ William Shakespeare
Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.) Tarts I love the tarts from Universal Voodoo especially their fall lines.So a tart that smells spicy or pumpkiny. Though I do have a secret fave that I can hardly ever find and would love in any form and that is straight up bayberry it reminds of my childhood.
Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? I love natural earthy rough textured things. Sadly though since we only have winter for a month I do not get much of a chance to wear them, but treasure the days I do. I like beanie hats and scarfs.
Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Heck yes why not, I love things with lots of herbs and yes garlic is my favorite.
What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? I am sure there are many I just am getting to experiment. I know I like Bengal, Morocco, and Dragons milk but have only bought imps, keep intending to get a bottle.
Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? No sorry
Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? I am working on it, please give me a day or two to get them together.

What am I going to be for Halloween?
Nothing. This makes me sad, but such is life.
If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be?
(If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.)
I would love a pendent with an art nouveau motif painted on it. I also love tree, like the tree of life or dark landscape.
How do you feel about nick-knacks?
Limited unless they are Dr Who or some really unusual or unique pieces.
I do like hair things mostly really cool french clips from etsy.. oh and I have seen hair combs that are steam punk or made from vintage pieces love them. Everything just has to be strong as I have thick long hair.
Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?
Oh my god just ask my daughters I am not only a fan, but a fanatic. my two girls grew up with the books then the movies. The first couple of movies I insisted we all paint lightning bolts on our heads (then the girls hit there teens and refused) my oldest and her husband come down so we can all go to the movie together. We had planned to all get miniature lightning bolt tattoos behind our ears to celebrate the end of an era after watching the last movie, sadly my sister passed the week it was released so that never happened. So yes I am a fan and gryffindor all the way.
Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?
Hm... I love old faerie tales and Greek mythology.
Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?
I gave up incense when I discovered tarts.I though just rediscovered incense when I bought a glass hanging burner at the farmers market. I enjoy sandalwood and resiny scents.
When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?
Coming to the Bpal forums even if it is just to lurk, I suffer anxiety issues and social anxiety is a big one so have very few if any friends. Since my daughter is such a 17 yr old social butterfly I am alone most of the time. I to relax really enjoy a good back and some spicy chocolate or sweet treat. When we do get cold here my favorite thing is hot chocolate with cayenne, home made marshmallows (well not homemade by me, but off etsy) and a great book or Dr. Who. Dr Who makes everything better.
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!
Hmmm. I think that I would love to see a day in the life of a superhero.
If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?
Heartsy, Barnes and Noble, Old Navy, Lush, Think Geek, Amazon
Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?
Yes actually I am musical. I can't carry a tune in a bucket.
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 garden though not very well am always so busy, but love fresh herbs and would love a way to grow them inside during the winter.
Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?
I used to, but with only hone daughter home and she is at the age where she just hangs out with her friends I do not really get as into it. I miss it and loved doing sugar skulls but now oh well our lives change.
Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?

Author: I love Michelle Moran, but have read everything she has written. I put a couple of authors on my questionnaire who write similar books ,but who I have not tried yet. Oh and I keep meaning to buy the third book in the Looking glass wars series.
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 2 cats who for some reason refuse to play with toys and food and treat preferences change weekly. Can you say lazy and spoiled so chances are they will just turn there nose up at it and walk away. Unless it is peppermint gum don't ask but one is obsessed.
interested in anything from Lush? Yes love R&B hair treatment and Fairy Jasmine bath bombs. As for my hair it is so long and thick but has a tendency to frizz so always looking for something toput in it, that is more natural but gives it shine and control.
Would you like to get an overload of jewelry from your witch -
I o not mind a couple of pieces I just do not wear it often. I never wear earrings, Necklaces with unique and different pendents I find some of the steam-punk interesting (and seem to be repeating another question here)especially the lockets. I have a larger wrist and prefer cuss style or looser bracelets.
