What interests you from the latest lab update?

Everything. Seriously my lust list is so long from the last couple updates it’s obscene! I’m just going to add it to my wishlist, which I promise will be updated by tonight.

How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff?

Love it. I don’t need much in the way of note cards, but I ALWAYS need note pads, sticky notes, things like that. I also adore pens! Usually gel ink and in the funkiest colors I can find.

Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Sure. Not a lot, but if you make something you think is a sure winner, I’d love to try it! I am allergic to onion, though.

If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay?

They are my favorite!!! I love the bottles and artwork, so I really do like them better than imps.

Would you like something you have to make yourself?

Kits are fun, If you think it’s something I’d like, than I would love to give it a try. Also, if you are a super crafter and think I would like to learn something new I would love a kit that you put together yourself.

Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you?

Making it yourself makes it better! Anything on my wishlists is just there to show you the types of things I would like and gravitate towards. I never would expect you to purchase something from my wish list specifically.

Who is your favorite soap etailer?

That is a dangerous question! I love Paintbox’s Sorbetto Scrubs, and I love Villaines Whipped. Those are the two biggies. Generally, I’m not a huge bar soap fan because I’ve never found one that doesn’t dry out my already alligator like skin. I really enjoy the sample size soaps and have 3 or 4 at any given time at all my sinks. It takes me FOREVER to use up a big bar, so the sample sizes are just about right.

What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc?

LOVE! Most of my house is decorated in “vintage” (such a nice euphemism for junk!) I especially like old kitchen gadgets, and red trimmed enamel ware.

With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference?

Whatever you want to do is fine with me!

What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet?

I used to wear Merle Norman, then my former Witch introduced me to mineral makeup, so I’m just starting to get into that, and I’d always welcome more to try. I have very fair (glow in the dark) skin, and I tend to wear mostly pinks. I do like sparkles, but I’ve got to figure out how to wear them during the day and not look like a 8 year old playing dress up, or a streetwalker starting work early!

Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with )

1. Vin Diesel

2. Mike Rowe

3. Mike Holmes (I have a handy man fetish, I guess!)

4. Gerard Butler

5. Trace Adkin

Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch?

I was abandoned by a swap partner once and it was horrible having everybody squeeing over the things their fairies had done for them and I couldn’t take part in that. Having said that, I understand that you might possibly have a life that doesn’t revolve around me, so since I’ve already heard from you, I’m good with whatever level of contact you want to maintain.

Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried?

I used to have scent base completely updated. That was many moons ago. I wish I could say I was better organized, but I fail. If I get it caught up, I’ll link it in my signature.

Do you like maple sugar candy?

Yes. But, my Dad makes maple syrup, so I have all I need. (If, dear Witch, you’d like to try it, let me know and I’ll hook you up!) It is especially good on top of oatmeal in the morning.

What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination?

I’ve tried it, and it was ok. I don’t really need any more of it.

If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot?

Sorry, not a tea drinker

Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices?

Dry mustard, nutmeg and sea salt

Microsoft or Apple?

Microsoft

Where was your last vacation? What did you like most?

Minnesota. Being with the Semi-Significant other. No deadlines, no pressure. Having someone else make the bed. Room service.

Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them?

Yes to both

Do you hate any food things with a passion??

Liver. Peas. Canned peaches

Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree?

That would be fine.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot?

Any countries you're interested in?

I made the account. Here is a link (I think) http://www.last.fm/user/lucyboo21 I have pretty eclectic tastes. One of these days I need to get an mp3 player! I also listen to a lot of books on CD. Pretty much anything like this would be good in the mystery/thriller area. Mostly I like female authors. I get most of these used from ½ price books, or my personal favorite online book store, betterworldbooks.com

Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents?

Absolutely! Nothing for the bath tub, though as I’m a shower girl.

If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it?

Of course. You made it for me. If it isn’t exactly perfect that is just part of its charm.

Are you a foodie?

Yes, in both respects. I will sit and read a cookbook like prisoners read porn, and I also love most foodie scents. Some dark chocolate isn’t good, mint tends to turn to smelly old man on me, and coffee? Ick.

Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player?

I’m the sports junkie! I love Wisconsin Badger Football, Green Bay Packer Football, and NASCAR racing

For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy?

I don’t decorate a lot, but I have fall wreaths and candy dishes, that sort of thing. In a week or so I’ll get busy and do an outdoor display with pumpkins and cornstalks and such by the doors.

Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks?

Yes, but I’m never exactly sure what I should do with them.

Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay?

Nay

If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have?

No video games here.

How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers?

How do you feel about marzipan?

If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be?

Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding?

Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself?

If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?)

Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up?

Soundtracks you'd like?

If you could see one concert right now, who would it be?
