Seeing a few people pop up with these, figure I'd might as well get mine in, since perhaps some questions weren't answered! Also, sorry witchee lots of stuff on my wishlists are expensive, I'm just trying to get my TASTE across. Again, sorry for not updating, I'm usually on the computer for about 30 mins. I feel terrible for not answering questions, specifically if you meant some just for me.. But, just wanted to tell you that I LOVE AMERICAN GODS.

Nooope. Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? No thank you, I'd rather not find something I love and then not be able to afford it.

I've plenty, though I still squee at certain things. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Those are very cute!

I don't blog, hardly use the internets. I DO NOT want any licorice, beets, and the such either. No raisins or nuts in baked good either! Thanks. Take that back.

Yes, it'd be much better than the plastic tie I use now, ha. 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? As mentioned below, hell yus. 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. Not really, unless it's like an ebay deal or something. Other than that, I don't get to venture much. When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Honey tea, and a warm thick blankieeee. Perhaps jello, too lol. What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Spending $100 dollars on just myself. lol, ya that'll never happen.

How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? Very cute, not sure how much use it'd be put to though. Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Legend, perhaps? Or Ghost Adventures season 3. Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Yes I think thats a very cute way to say you're thinking of someone, while being extremely budget friendly. I have a few cards I bought just for this! So I'd be willing to be a nacho witch. Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Winter is more like it, for our 'honeymoon' we want to see Devin Townsend (again), but I fear he's not playing. At least no posted dates. Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I do not. Star Wars all the way babbbbby. How do you feel about maple syrup? I lurv it. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I may get some hate for this but I personally preferred the prequels, but that could be because I grew up with those. Obviously the original is MIND FUCKING BLOWING, but sticking to my guns. Favorite character..Anakin 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. I'm not fond of it, but everyone in my family likes it, so feel free. Be assured it will be eaten. 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. Bring em on! I open them by myself. I also have some racy postcards to send, so it's good this question was asked lol.. Doctor Who? Yay or nay? I am the only person alive left that hasn't seen this show..

Omnomnomnom thats what I say. Yus. How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? That would be pretty badass. Only have a laptop right now though. Well I have a cellphone but..it's a no go for those. Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I'm all of those, because I AM SO GODDAMNED FOND OF HALLOWEEN. My tales are dark muwhahahha. Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Yes, just my ears now. I had a few others but meh. I'd like to maybe re-gauge my ears. Had em to a 4, then lost the damn earring. Now they closed back up so have to start fresh at 16. Just the tapers are fine, I don't need the plugs. Tapers open the hole and act as an earring as well! How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? I've been seeing these everywhere! I would like to try one. Is there a Vanilla option? I'm more partial to it. do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I've never had a chance to eat, but I would definitely just love it for the decoration. Who here adores meringue? It's alright.. Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Hm. depends on size. I don't really like small pictures, but if bigger (that'd be way expensive though with a frame) is what I'd like.

That actually looks awesome. As long as I don't have to sign up. How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc... Yum! Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I wear V-necks to show off the tatas. I wear size xs/s, I have a few ideas like that on my etsy list Would love something Halloween related as well.

Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? What is this? Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?

Though these are near impossible to find. http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/450996941/Wholesale-Sleep-Star-Light-Star-Master-Star-Beauty-Throws-the-shadow-lantern-Holiday-Gifts-Fast-Delivery.jpg http://www.stylehive.com/bookmark/shadow-light-mysterious-garden-in-silver-color-by-likedeco-on-etsy-796036 Something to project lasers/constellations/celestial things on walls and ceiling: like here http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Twilight-Constellation-Night-Turtle/dp/B000BNQC58/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1316408576&sr=8-13 http://www.amazon.com/HPI-5105-Laser-Star/dp/B000VBNIP2/ref=pd_sbs_t16 this is pretty awesome as well: http://www.amazon.com/Mathmos-Spinning-Graphic-Skeleton-Carousel/dp/B002BL86AC/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&qid=1316409021&sr=8-23 Things relating to ancient times as well.

Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I'm just the regular stick of chapstick kind of gal. No colors please. But flavors are welcome 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) If my handwriting was legible then I'd say yes, but alas.. -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) You know, I'm not all that talented. How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I could make use of some of that stuff, perhaps some markers or SOME paints, I'd like to swap envelopes and the such, and make packages pretty, so things that help do that.

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 have ALL of that already thanks to a huge garden. Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Both, but probably color more-so. Nature is preferred since that's what makes me happiest. But if it makes me think then power to ya. would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Very cute but not sure how much use it would be put to..

Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Honey Honey Honey. Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? A keychain would be cute. Not entirely obsessed tho. Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? Haven't tried any of their stuff. BUT Sleepy Hollow Perfume sounds great. So does Comfort Me With Apples. 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 try to be crafty..Haven't found anything I do extremely well. Something with darker undertones I suppose though. So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Good luck trying to find me. Mapquest can't even calculate the right directions. Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay? Depends on what he's on. Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Er. Quit smoking, and learn a decent skilled trade? idk, im indecisive.
