I even have a living cactus necklace

Who is into K-Beauty (Korean beauty products like sheet masks)
- What are your faves if you are?
- If you aren't would you like to try something? Never had any but sheet masks sound interesting. I'm always open to trying new beauty products. Recently I've heard of bamboo salt soap bars and wanna try one. Any mask used to clean out your pores is great in my book

- would you want a big wood box (~50 bottles), a small wood box (~20 bottles) or a tin for carrying imps around?

Would you be interested in a Halloween wreath? Absolutely!

If you could hop into a time machine and travel anywhere/anytime, where would it be and why? I'd love to visit the founders of the US at the time of the revolution. Such learned men at such a tulmutous time.....history has had its say but I'd love to know more about their emotional take on the great experiement they began.

If you could invite 3 famous people to a BPAL meet and sniff, who would invite? Is Beth famous enough?!? Because her for her scent knowledge alone would be cool. Viggo Mortensen because he speaks like a dozen languages and is rather artsy and learned, and I find him a wee bit hot lol. And because I can't think of anyone else offhand, why not invite Ted along? He's hilarious!

Do you like and/or want anything from Elements and Artifacts? You can be vague like "yes" or "no" or name specific past pieces you coveted or current ones you love, whatever works best. I like their style, sure

Candles, Incense, or wax tarts? Do you have favorite brands or Weenies scents for the home? Would you like to receive a wax tarts burner, incense burner, essential oils diffuser, or Halloweenie themed candle holders?
While I love a great decorative candle, I don't like to burn them much anymore. Tarts are ok but I LOVE incense made with real ingredients and not sprayed with fragrance. I have a tart burner and a few incense burners lol

Maybe. No. OMG I'm trying to destash but am open to pretty yarn always. But I have too much lol

If you are a gamer do you have a steam/gamestop/amazon wishlist?
Nope. I obsessively play PokemonGo, team Instinct! And I'm somehwere past level 1600 on Candy Crush, but I don't think that's what's meant here lol. A cool Instinct tee or hat weould be cool

Like Wine? What kinds?
LOVE. Mostly red, but a good fruit forward reisling is awesome too. Particularly fond of port and I've had a couple meads that make me want to explore more meads.

Ah so many! Rhodocrosite, amethyst, carnelian, turquoise, coral.......

I wish I knew folks who were into SCA as I think I'd love it but alas, no.

Any additional misc. information about yourself you want your Witch to know? (I think this was on the survey, but again if there's something that you forgot...)
Life is stressful right now and I'm having some health issues again so anything that helps me relax and escape is good

If you could decorate your house (or one room) in any one theme, what would it be? Your answer can be as simple ("Star Wars" or "Baroque" or "Modern"), or complicated or a combination (e.g. Victorian Gothic) as you feel best fits.

I'm heading to NYCC in October! Is there anything I can get my Witchee while I'm there? I can't think of anything?

Anything catch your eye from this site (globalgirlfriend.com)?
There's some real cute things there! The sandstone scarf caught my eyehttp://www.globalgirlfriend.com/collections/scarves/products/sandstone-scarf as did this map bowl and this tote with the vintage sewing maching because I have two machines like that! In personal products, the shea butter and soaps all looked cool too

Chagrin Valley Soaps is the only one I can think of right now....though I have a great fondness for almost anything from ZIngermann's

Imagine you're going to the most gigantic art & craft show imaginable, and money is no object - what kind of things would you gravitate towards and probably spend money on? Include as specific as you want to get!
A rigid heddle loom and a spinning wheel! The dream items I WILL get one day. But also some cool roving to practice hand spindling, maybe some raw wool fibers. I have a pair of carders and am not afraid of dirty fleece, I've cleaned one before I am only a newb to spindling but I think I'd like to try a supported spindle too. I have a simple top whorl spindle

See's Candy. My absolute favorite. They have special Halloween candy..any of these pique your interest?? Cinnamon Apple Scotch Mallows, Pumpkin spice truffles, pumpkinspice lollypops, caramel apple lollypops, or any other of their chocolates, etc?

If I were to find an adorable autumnal/Halloween-y dish/flatware/etc. design, how many settings would be needed in your household?

These look fantastic

do you like to take baths? if so, do you like oils, salts, things that fizz, all of the above, none of the above?
I do, but rarely indulge. Generally in very cold weather, but I just love the luxery of a good hot bath soak. I will use herbal infusions or milk baths, or salts. Very rarely I'll use a fizzy thing but those can be drying so not often at all but they can be so fun lol

Pumpkin or Zucchini bread?
Pumpkin. All the pumpkin things! Though I have never been known to turn down zucchini bread, I have had my fill lately from a coworker who planted zucchini this year

What kind of homemade cookies are your favorite?
Molasses crinkles but i really like buttery tender cookies with nuts in them. And Snickerdoodles. And anything chocolate. I guess I love most cookies lol

Could you use a muscle rub? (We make ours on the lunar cycle and it has menthol, wintergreen, habanero, cayenne, olive oil, st. john's wort, arnica, beeswax, calendula, and ginger. It tingles. We call it "Thunder Butter". If you have really really super sensitive skin, I would recommend against it. And don't take a hot shower or open all of your pores before using it.)
As intrigued as I am, I think this would irritate my skin so no

Interested in trying some of our rose petal (rose petals, sugar, everclear) or lavender vanilla bean (lavender, vanilla bean, vodka) liqueur?
Yes, though the lavender interests me most. I love all things lavender

Want some honey from the bees on our property?
Yes please!! I use honey regularly. It's the beginning of flu season so I'll need to make my elderberry syrup soon. I also have a homemade decongestant I make that uses honey. It works as a flu and cold deterrent/fighter as well so I like it on hand in winter

Would you like somemade jam? I have blackberry, rose petal, strawberry rhubarb, peach, and cherry.
I think I'd pass on this. I love the idea on wonderful flavor combos I see at farmers markets, but I am not really a preserve person in use

How about some homemade candied jalapenos with garlic cloves? I have regular and with habanero.
​Yuck no! Sorry but while I love strong garlic, ginger, and spicy food, I am super sensitive to capsican heat and do not do hot peppers. I do like things like fermented garlic but without hot peppers

I didn't dry any apples this year but I was thinking of heading over to Green Bluff and seeing if any honeycrisps are left. I have a commercial dehydrator so let me know if you are interested in any "Apple Crips" (as voodoocatwoman calls them!) I wash, peel, core, and slice before dehydrating.
Sounds great! I love all the dehydrated veggies and fruit, and love when I come across good more naturally made jerky

Do you need any kind of dice bag, tote, project bag, cosmetic bag, pencil bag, or whatever? I have lots of bag patterns and fabric. We make bags under the name Twinkle N Twilight.
Or how about a couple of pillowcases?
I always have use for tote bags. I don't drive, walk everywhere and carry groceries and the such. No need for a dice or cosmetic bag, and I have a few nice project bags for my knitting.
Pillowcases are always fun

do you collect the art cards that BPAL sends out? Any in particular that you are looking for or definitely don't need?
I do! Nothing in particular I'm looking for, and too many to list what I have. I only have Banded Sea Snake from the new Carnival Diabolique

Do you like this beautiful art, and she makes stickers and prints...SOOOO gorgeous: https://www.shannatr...om/paperprints/

Would you be into receiving hand made (crocheted, sewn, felted, chain maille, scale, or duct tape, in my case, depending on the item) dishclothes? Scarf/shawl? Hat? Bag? Anything? Colors? (Duct tape, chain maille, and scales come in colors.)

Do you collect anything from SBUX like City Mugs, City Mug ornaments, City Cards, or Bearistas? If so, which do you need/want? Or would you like a City Mug or an ornament for fun?
