I can't think of a cover I need for anything, but I can say I could use a lunch bag....just like a regular paper sack type lunch bag, except not made of paper!

I’m talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. ginger tea! Esp. that kind that is sugar or honey crystals with ginger.

September 19th

How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you?

 

I love nail polish, but don't know what franken polish is? I'm ok with chemicals. I like the idea of glitter but it never quite looks right. I like reds (cool reds with blue undertones), purple, black, gold, bronze, cool oranges, browns, etc.

 

Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? 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 have some allergies to certain ingredients in lip balms so it's best for me just to stick with the brand I use.

 

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) Pens! I always need pens. Fountain pens would be cool, but just cool roller ball pens or sharpies would be cool too. Art supplies are awesome!

 

-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) Not a watercolorist, though I do like acrylics.

 

-How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I would love to try copic markers. I love watercolor pencils. I like acrylics. I can use art supplies for jewelry making, for painting and paper crafting, and for fabric dyeing. I don't draw though, and have enough sketchbooks (since I pretty much suck at drawing).

 

-How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I got a couple recently and find their sizing odd. The XXL in ladies was a bit tighter than I expected.

 

If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Nail polish, padded envelopes and candy!

 

Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? yes! Pickled veggies, fresh canned fruit, or jam!

 

Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? black and white. either probably either nature or abstract or people. Nature might be better in color.

 

would you be interested in something like this?

 

https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works

 

Is it like a sample box for stationary/pens? It might be fun, but there are probably sample boxes more suited to me. I don't really need that much stationary/notebooks.

 

Amigurumi, yes or no? What is it?

 

I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I like Franz Marc a lot. And some others, which are probably linked in older sw posts.

 

If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?

September 18th

 

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 think I answered this in the thread, but here it is again. Yes! Animals (foxes, ravens, owls) or symbols I like or Tarot cards, or something like that. I wear a xxl in girly tees (baby dolls with v neck or scoop neck) and those are my favorite styles. I probably can wear a med. or large in men's depending on how big it is. I'm not as crazy about regular crew necks because I find the neck too constricting, but can wear them. I love SOFT tees! Esp. organic cotton!

 

How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... YES!

 

If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. Tim Tams! I don't know that I have any deep cravings but would be delighted to try things from your home!

 

Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). Macbook, not extras. I wold take Apple related stuff.

 

SOCK PREFERENCES?

 

Witch o'mine. I am starting massage school. Our school has a no shoes policy. So now I see I really could use some presentable (even fun!) socks. Too many of mine seem to have holes! So if you feel like sending socks, I will be thrilled!

 

Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? I can't see that link. In general, though, I like socks. Natural fibers or at least mostly natural fibers, though, please. I would like socks in these colors: brown, grey, green, purple, red, blue, black or some combo thereof!

 

Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?

 

I do not like toe socks.

September 16th

 

Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I rarely go out anymore. I would be interested in cookbooks, esp. a cookbook like for no-knead bread. Or for ethnic foods. or slowcooker/crock pot recipes. Utensils? maybe, but I can't think of any right now.

 

New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Love it!

 

How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Love them! And if they're real saint ones, I'd like St. Anthony or St. Lazarus, or St. Martin de Porres. Most of them aren't of the actual saints, though, and I'm fine with that. A fun, nonspiritual one would be cool too.

 

Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? It woas ok, but I'm not a huge fan.

 

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. (OK that borders on obscene)- I like it ok, but am not crazy about it.

 

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. I wouldn't be opening them at work so anything is ok!

 

Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) no

September 15th

 

interested in anything from Lush? I love their bubble bars and bath bombs, and face masques though I can't get those since there is no store nearby.

 

Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? That would be super cool, esp. if it could be a better version of the pics of my Shiba that is my heading. My blog is linked in my sig.

 

Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? sure

 

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? sure

 

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. sure. Spa services would be cool. It's probably easiest for me to pick restaurants though, as I know which ones I like.

 

do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Hell yes!

 

Time for more questions and answers!

 

 

September 14th

 

Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?

 

not really, but I supposed i might say this: life is short; be kind.

 

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?

 

Probably not.

 

What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.)

 

Yes! Brownies more than fudge. It shouldn't be that warm in NM by the time we get underway.

 

Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?

 

It's ok.

 

Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE

 

see wishlist

 

Does anyone like kimchi?

 

Yep!

 

Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?

 

yes! I just ordered the julep maven (nail polish) one but am interested in others.

 

You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?

 

 

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?

 

I'm not crazy about the soaps as I find gylcerin soaps too drying. I might be interested in trying a slip or a scrub though.

 

Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes

 

Nope. I find sports generally loathsome, though I do like boxing ok.

 

How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?

 

I like them, but I actually generally keep a journal on my computer. Smallish notebooks can be useful for note taking though.

 

Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?

 

I like it.

 

Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?

 

probably not

 

How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in?

 

Some are cute, and a fox or raven thing might be fun, but I'm not into them in general.

 

 

September 13th

 

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Probably not. Some useful kitchen towels (like no lint type) might be ok, but I prefer my kitchen stuff to be sturdy and practical.

 

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?

 

I wore a black and white print sleeveless dress. My style is mostly casual/hippie/boho and doesn't get much fancier.

 

Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc)

 

no

 

Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?

 

Yes! Though I have a lot of coffee mugs, another really cool one would be ok. I like thick, heavy coffee mugs. What I'd really like is some cups for tea, but what I like are smaller pottery type cups, kind of like these. I like a handle but it is not necessary. Also infusers wouldn't be bad either. I like the kind that sit in the cup. My last one broke.

 

September 12th

 

Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?

 

YES! Kindle!

moon and stars, spirals, snowflakes, leaves (esp. ginko leaves), most natural imagery

 

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?

 

I like loose tea, but since I'll be on the go a lot this fall, tea bags are fine too (I prefer if they don't have strings/staples so they can be composted, but you know it's not that important if the tea is good). I like flavored black tea and green tea, and even more, herbal teas and rooibois.

 

 

September 11th

 

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I like thrift and "upcycled" stuff, and don't have any problems with thrift stuff, clothing or otherwise.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?

 

No, I don't have one.

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

 

I'd be happy to get a postcard from anywhere, including disneyland, though I'm not into disney stuff per se.

 

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?

 

reese peanut butter cups. Also, smarties and sweet tarts.

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.

 

I like bar soap, cold process. I like soft soap like cream soap. Shower gel is fine too as it will be used as bubble bath. and I bubble bath!

 

 

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?

 

yep. Bigger should be glass and shiny for use in sun catchers and things like that. Smaller can be used for jewelry.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!

 

Send them all to me!!!!
