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

Oh, probably all sorts of things. My 10 under $10 post from yesterday is a pretty good example.

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?

As with before-- no nail polish for me, please. No time/place to wear it to.

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'm not a fanatic but I do have constantly dry lips and almost never have a lip balm on me, so this is probably a great present, heh. Something that would definitely get used. No real preferences on container type, all are fine. Flavors: probably less fruity (reminds me too much of little kid lip balm), more spicy. Not minty please.

Beeswax does not bother me in lip balm.

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)

Sure, though I don't have a fountain pen so ink would only be pointful if you sent that too. I love drawing with a fountain pen but haven't done it, oh, I don't know, a decade?

-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)

Sure, that could be cool. Watercolor is another thing I haven't done in several years. You may be surprised to hear (ha ha ha) that I really just haven't made much art since my son was born.

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

Very positively! There are a few things I'm really set on (colored pencils, chalk and oil pastels) but other than that, I dig art supplies.

-How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?

Love to browse Threadless, almost never buy. See yesterday's response about t-shirts.

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?

Hm, I dunno. I almost never go to the drug store. Probably diaper wipes for my son (he wears cloth diapers but I just can't get into cloth wipes), cough drops for me, and then Clif Bars with the remaining balance.

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

Sure! I like pickled everything. I'm not as big on canned fruits (prefer most fresh) but I do love jam & preserves. Dried fruit is tasty too.

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

Black and white usually. I really like portraits of people.

would you be interested in something like this?

Sounds kind of cool.

Amigurumi, yes or no?

Aw, I love amigurumi. So cute. Again, my kid will steal anything of that nature from me.

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

I really like Van Gogh's later stuff. You can almost see him descending into madness, which is sad, but which I can relate to.

Not a painting exactly, but this is one of my all time favorite pieces of art: I eat them by the handful. I've always thought that the guy has paused mid bite and just wondered, how did I get here? What am I doing here? Why am I eating flowers?

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

I don't know. Sorry, I am very bad at answering these types of questions!

Name your 3 favorite scents for candles

Not really into scented candles. (And can't really burn candles, as previously mentioned.)

Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea

Chai, any

Ku-ki cha

Pu-erh (not fruit flavored, though, because that is a horrible idea)
