Dear Witch – I’ve gotten very boring on this Ketchup, so many questions… and I have to admit some of them really don’t apply to me because I already mentioned I’m not very crafty so I don’t want that kind of thing. I think I’ve gotten to the point where I’ll have very short answers on stuff I think I’ve answered. I can barely get through the thread anymore.. I just hop in there to stalk my Witchee, grab the new questions and hop out. >.< I know.. I’m soo not SOCIAL!!!! I'll try to keep up with the questions but if you want more detail on questions I think I've answered before, please contact me. Thanks!

Do you like garlic? Do you REALLY like garlic? Would you want to try some really unusual garlic stuff, like garlic cheese or garlic fudge or garlic chocolate, etc., etc., etc.? Sure!

If you happened to be my Witchee, is there something you'd like from the Arcana Halloween update? Hmmm the only thing that appeals would be Straightjacket & Holy Terror Soap – I haven’t actually tried any Arcana Oils

How many bottles of BPAL do you have? 10-15? Not very many, and not counting decant circle left-overs.

Is there any exercise program that you're interesting in learning? Meditation, Yoga, Pilates, Belly Dancing, Zumba ect? Or if you do any of these (or anything else sport related) are there any things you need/want? Candles, music, mats, water bottles ect? I have dvds of meditation, yoga, pilates and belly dancing.. yeah I know.. I had fun doing them, but I’ve gotten out of the habit of exercising… I guess I should move my butt and start doing them again! (p.s. theatre can take up a lot of time so when I am in shows I stop doing that kind of stuff). I don’t really need any additional supplies.

Anyone else into Emily Autumn? I don’t know who that is, nm – just looked her up. No.

What's on your walls? Please show us up to three paintings/posters/whatever. If you love a painting so much that you would steal (to watch it with your greedy eyes) one, please share. I don’t have any paintings - yeah very boring.. and I wouldn’t necessarily steal one.. I WOULD steal some Erte Bronzes though! Mwahahaha.

Do you like Girl Scout cookies? What kind? Thin Mints

What's your take on homemade apple butter? Want some? I’ve never had any and would love to try it.

Do you read/like fantasy? What kind of books or authors do you love? Which one would you like to read? Would you like gifts related to it? I think I’ve already answered this? But if you want more indepth detail, give me a holler.

Soaps : do you like them? What brands? What scents? Anything you're dying to try? See above fantasy question.

I wondered if my witch or any witch would enjoy things like nice pens to draw with or anything similar? No I don’t draw.

For those who are yarnies, would you like other-than-yarn witchery? Hooks, needles? Preference of material? Do you use/would you like handmade stitch markers, etc.? No.

Does anyone do altered books? Would you be interested in old books to alter? Any type or title in particular? No.

Did someone ask about incense yet? Would you like some? Something to store or burn it in? What scents? What form? No incense please.

Any oddball free things you collect or would want saved for you? Umm no.

Who likes hair toys, and if so what kind? My hair is bad, it doesn’t get to play with toys. Okay silliness aside, I do like to use hair sticks and scrunchies.

Does any art we may send need to be child safe, either in the actually safe sense or the non X rated sense? Ummm, I don’t have children so that’s okay, I would prefer not to get anything art related that’s x-rated. I do have a kitty, but seriously there’s nothing that’s ever kitty safe as far as I’m concerned.. they are imps!

In the knitted/crocheted things area, would you want wrist warmers, 1/2 gloves, a neck warmer(the kind that pretty much just goes around your neck and maybe fastens instead of being long and loose like a scarf), slippers, or hats? ½ gloves and neck warmers would be my preference.

How do you feel about altered/recycled/upcycled items of clothing or accessories? They would be cool. One of my fav stores on etsy makes these amazing (aka really expensive) upcycled sweater/jacket things.

Is there anything you want from the Violette Market update? I haven’t tried VM scents at all. So… I actually don’t WANT these.. it’s more like if decants came my way I wouldn’t turn them down. Who am I kidding I wouldn’t turn decants of any kind down. But these are the scents that description’s that caught my attention: Ms. Dolly's Frock Shop, Miss Susanna West, Zarya Occultist and Tarot Card Reader, Lydia's Firefly Lanterns, Raven's Midnight Pumpkin Patch, Gertrude's Half-Haunted Bake Shop, Ghost Dancer, Glowing Jack O' Lantern.

What is your favourite habitat and climate to live in? How about to visit? (ie. forest, canyons, mountains, by the beach; temperate, tropical...) I would love to live in a cool breezy forest, somewhere that didn’t get muggy. Oh and the forest would every so often have a nice big open space filled with grass that I could lie in the sun if I ever wanted….

What do you wish you could make/craft if you had the know-how and supplies? Specifically, which particular items? I don’t want to craft anything… so I shan’t answer this.. mwahhahahahah. SIGH – okay after typing that I felt guilty. Dear witch, if you HAD to torture me I would do jewelry. The only thing is I have a lot of supplies already, beads, crystals, pearls, Swarovski, metal findings… etc. I have a lot of supplies for a lot of unfinished hobbies lying around… please please PLEASE do not encourage that kind of pack-rat-ism in my life… LOL!

Is there anything you would like from Conjure Oils general catalogue or the new updates that isn't already on your wishlist? I never realized it till this set of Ketchup, but I really haven’t tried a lot of other company’s oils. I haven’t ever tried Conjure. Scents that seem interesting are: Incubus, Lucifer, Succubus, Abandoned Morgue 2010, Calavera de Azúcar 2010, Sweet Death 2010. ( Wow, I might have to go find a circle, these are really appealing to me – I wish I hadn’t gone to see what their new scents are!)

Am I alone in this, or is there a Book Fair/Comic Con scent you're dying to get your paws on, too? None of them are really calling out my name.

Anyone need address/phone type books? Nopers

9/17/10

Are there any particular movies, tv shows or cd’s that you’ve been meaning to buy for years but just never got round to getting? Would you mind a gently used dvd/cd if your witch had it or could get it?? Firefly - gently used would be fine.

Is there anything from the Possets' Hallowe'en update you're lusting after? Dark, Gypsy Grave and Melanie

Would you like a custom/altered toy either from a seller or from your witch (like My Little Pony, or a Barbie or any particular toy that can be changed?) No thank you.

Do you like the candy apple, candy corn or pumpkin spice kisses? I’ve never seen these!! I would love some!

Anne Taintor, anyone? Not interested.

Which web comics do you enjoy? Ummm Gunnerkrigg Court – but Im not interested in any products. OHHH but on a side note.. I really like Get Fuzzy, which is a real comic.. Fuzzy is such a rotter!

9/16/10

If I were to knit a scarf, would you prefer a skinny one, or a wide one? A short one, that when wrapped once around your neck will just tuck under your jacket, or a long one, at least to your waist? I have no idea, surprise me?

Don't like scarves? Would a rectangular shawl or triangular shawl be more to your taste? Rectangular

How do you feel about recipes? Love them. Though I don't need a recipe box. What I have is a recipe binder - Full sized regular binder that has sheet protectors as pages.. I just slide the recipes in.

What kind of a cook/baker are you? I like to bake desserts of all kinds, though I haven’t actually tackled a full cheesecake (have done tartlets). Cooking wise, I do okay but am challenged with roasting big pieces of meat.. haven’t quite learned the art of this. My favorite cookbook is the Joy of Cooking – I love how crazy detailed it is.

Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program? I enjoy food and cooking, but when I’m tired.. screw it – the microwave is the BEST invention EVER!!! I can't imagine the Food Network contacting me.. I don't have the ability to throw in a little bit of this and that together and miraculously have it taste good.

If I send you something home made would you like the recipe for it? Sure!

If you are someone who doesn't want baked goods sent, would you like a collection of some of my favorite recipes? Gimme the baked goods dammit!! No holding out allowed

How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients? That sounds great, I haven’t ever received things like that, I would love to try it.

if you are a tea lover, what are your flavor preferences? Green? Black? Herbal (I know, technically those are NOT teas, but tisanes)? Flavored blacks/greens? I think I’ve covered this question.
