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 t-shirts, but now that the weather is changing, not so much. Also, my drawers and closets are pretty full right now, so I don’t think that adding more t-shirts is the best idea.

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

It depends on what else is mixed in with the pumpkin. I’m not the biggest fan of straight pumpkin, so I’m happiest if there is some spice mixed in with it. I think pumpkin shaped things are cool, though!

Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?

It’s a cool idea and they look nice, but I didn’t see any that really resonated with me.

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.

I hear that Tim Tams are fantastically delicious! I also like Cadbury chocolate, and I’d guess the UK might have some good Cadbury stuff that doesn’t show up around here. If you’re a nail polish fan and you know of some great duochrome, holographic, or glitter polishes that aren’t sold on American soil, I’m always up for new nail polishes! The pictures of a-England’s Lady of the Lake polish that Scrangie has on her site look pretty sweet, for instance. And most of all, if you happen to be in a used bookstore and find any Ouran High School Host Club or Maid Sama! books in German, that would be the best! I see them on eBay so I know they exist, but I haven’t yet taken the plunge into buying them.

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).

I have just the standard desktop Mac set-up with wired keyboard and mouse, nothing fancy. I’m not particularly interested in Apple-related items; I like my Mac just fine, but I’m not a member of the cult of Mac by any means.

SOCK PREFERENCES?

Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?

No thanks. I don’t do yoga, and I want my socks to completely cover my feet.

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

Not really. I’m pretty much a sock traditionalist.

What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?:

Sealing wax and a wax stamp! I’ve wanted some since college; I don’t know why I’ve never just gone ahead and bought them.

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?

Yay polish! I’m fine with chemicals – I have a lot of great older polishes from before they got rid of all that noxiousness. I’m wearing Amber Ruby from Sally Hansen’s Nail Prisms line today, and before it dried, the smell was ridiculously strong, so I’m guessing it’s chock full of chemicals. But so pretty! Check it out on Scrangie’s website if you want to see! Glitter would be great; holographic glitter would be fabulous! I tend to like dark colors, but if you do something with bright lime green, I’m sure I’d love that too. I’d also love to see a black with red glitter in which the red glitter actually shows up strongly – I’ve been disappointed so many times before….

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?

Lip balm – such an irresistible temptation! I have more lip balms than I’ll ever be able to use, and yet I Keep. Buying. More. I like the twist up tubes best, and I’m on a seemingly endless quest for the perfect cherry flavor, whether it be sour cherry, black cherry, or just plain old cherry. I hate banana (I don’t know if anyone even makes a banana lip balm, but I hate even hypothetical banana!), and I don’t really like strawberry. Favorite brand-wise, I really like Haunt, Bunny Butt Apothecary, and some local brands like Bee All Natural (yummy cinnamon!), Kelly Hansen’s (I’m loving her cherry and root beer lip balms), and Mirror Lake Organics. The Morbid the Merrier’s Harlot (funnel cake flavor) is also delish! The Long Winter Farm stuff looks tempting, especially gingerbread, red currant, toffee, white chocolate, and lime. Really, I’m all set with enough lip balm for years, and yet will always happily make room for more.

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)

I’d love a fountain pen! That’s another thing that I’ve always wanted and yet never actually gone ahead and bought. Other than that, I’m pretty much set on art supplies, because I love them so and always buy them.

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)

No thank you. I prefer acrylic paint, plus I actually have some watercolor paints and watercolor pencils already.

How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)

Like I said, I’m pretty well set on paints, brushes, colored pencils, crayons, pastels, paper, etc.

How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?

I’ve seen some that I liked, but I’m pretty well covered for t-shirts right now.

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?

Probably nail polish and eye makeup! I stopped into Walgreens tonight to pick up something and walked out with a new Revlon eye shadow that I absolutely didn’t need but couldn’t resist (Night Sky, if anyone cares. ) Now I’m contemplating going back tomorrow for the Facets of Fuchsia nail polish.

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 don’t eat many vegetables, but crunchy dill pickles are yummy! Fresh canned peaches would be lovely – I actually toyed with the idea this summer of buying a lot of peaches from our farmer’s market and canning them myself, but I’ve never canned before and I’m not good in the kitchen, so I never followed through with it. Canned pears would be fantastic, too.

Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract?

Color photographs of nature, whether scenery (autumn colors and waterfalls especially!) or animals.

would you be interested in something like this?

Sounds fun, but I’d rather pick my own or have my wonderful Witch pick out something!

Amigurumi, yes or no?

Yes, yes, YES!!! Love amigurumi! I want to learn to crochet just so that I can make amigurumi. I almost bought Creepy Cute Crochet just for the pictures, even though I can’t crochet at all. A quick look at my wishlists should reveal how I feel about amigurumi – I have a whole bunch wishlisted!

I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!

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

Name your 3 favorite scents for candles

Cinnamon, mulberry, and natural beeswax

Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea

1. The Republic of Tea’s Cardamon Cinnamon

2. Depending on my mood, either Triple Leaf Tea’s ginger tea or Lipton’s Ginger Twist.

3. Right now, it’s a toss-up between Stash’s Mojito Mint green tea with matcha and Celestial Seasonings’ Candy Cane Lane.
