1. I wonder what a potential witchee would think about being bombarded with PUMPKINS in various formats. Because my current obsession just may last long enough to be of use in spoiling.....but I know wouldn't be appreciated by everyone. Would you appreciate it?!? Not a big pumpkin fan 2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread). Not really my thing 3. Trading Post wants? 4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like. 5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences? Black and white fruity teas are my favorite. Not a coffee drinker at all. 6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy? I do – been very lazy about recently though. There’s a set of very cut cat shaped measuring cups that I know you can find on Modcloth that I’ve been wanting for a long time and Sanrio has a Hello Kitty and My Melody kettle that are really cute as well (though those are on the more expensive side) 7. How do people feel about creative endeavours? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems? 8. What culture or country (doesn’t have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you? 9.

What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try? 14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom? 15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends. I have a facebook account but I actually never have made a status update. I do have twitter and instagram account that is the same name as my forum name 16. Anybody interested in something from RCCC, whether it's con-exclusive merch or from a particularexhibitor or artist? 17. How important to you is regular contact / chatter with your witch?

How do you feel about having some sort of trinket to carry around for good luck/wishes? i.e. a small figurine, symbol, card, coin… I could use all the luck I can get 22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations? Not really 23. For the vegetarians and vegans: How do you feel about things (say, marshmallows or gummy candy) made with vegan gelatin or other typically-animal-derived-but-not-in-this-instance products? 24. Ok, so we've covered pumpkin. How do you feel about the other fall classic – apples? I love BPAL’s apple note but I wouldn’t want it in a typical fall style scent; that is, heavy on spices and what not 25. Do you have any fabric or skin-contact aversions? I don’t think so? 26. How do you feel about Christmas/Yule ornaments? Love them! 27. How do you feel about Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty accessories (including mugs, cups, etc)? I adore all things Hello Kitty (also a really big fan of Little Twin Stars and Purin) 28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study? I would want get back into Japanese – I miss learning it 29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like? Yes but I rarelyy read it and do not have anything particular favorites 30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character? Nothing do kid-oriented, but I do love Aurora, Maleficent, Tinker Bell (though I refuse to acknowledge those movies), and I love all things Haunted Mansion 31.

Go to your music source of choice - on random or shuffle setting if possible - & share with us the 10 most recent songs/artists. 34. Tarot cards, rune stones and/or other divination tools yay or nay? I don’t do any divination though I am curious about it even if I’m not sure I really believe it – there are some beautiful tarot cards out there and would love to learn more about runes 35.

If you were to get a custom bottle from House of Gloi made for you what notes would create your perfect blend? 43. If your witch were to take a photograph (or paint or whatever) of something just for you, what would it be? Landscape? Flower? Critter? Something to illustrate a favorite quote? Landscape, wooded areas (I love the ones that look like they could be in a horror film) 44. What is your favorite Halloween animal or other symbol/decoration? 45. Makeup, especially of the indie variety. Nail polish, nail wraps, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss, etc. Y/N? Specific preferences (color, finish, product, brand, etc.)? Nail polish (all colors and finish), eye shadow (either loose or cream, any finish besides metallic, and in the blue and purple range) 46. How do you feel about profanity and off-color humor? I’m fine with it as long as it doesn’t lean toward potty humour 47. I make hairsticks...would you like/use them? I would like them though I would have to figure out how to style with them 48. Does anyone here LARP? If so, what kind of LARP? And what kind of character do you play? I don’t but would like to try it out once 49. Would you completely freak out if I sent you a chocolate covered scorpion or some other food oddity? This includes things like 'bacon powder' from thinkgeek.com. I wouldn’t be freaked out but probably wouldn’t get much enjoyment in it compared to something else 50. This has kind of been covered, but, are you ok with receiving canned jam (from a veteran jammer!) and if so, what flavors would you like and not like? Not a big fan of jam 51. Let's talk nail polish. What colors do you love? Hate? Which brands are you dying to try? Have you ever used indies? Do you like glitter? Any textures to avoid (glitter, sand, etc)? I love it and collect it – the only colors I tend to avoid is yellow and orange (though I do wear orange around Halloween). I love glitter but am looking to expand my crème collection so I can have some base colors for all my glitter. I enjoy indies and tend to follow those more than the big name brands. A England, CrowsToes, Arcane Lacquer 52. How do you feel about getting a special Halloween plushie? I love plushies and would be happy to get a Halloween one 53. I'm in Japan, anything specific you might want from the land of the rising sun? Everything from traditional items, to the cute and more pop culture (I’m a big anime fan and am into various street fashion styles) 54. Are there any GC scents that you know you love, but for whatever reason, keep putting off buying bottles of? 55. I know not everyone likes Lush products, but if you do, which Lush items would you like to get from your Witch? 56. Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in? If so, go look at the Southwest sale for routes and dates and times. 57. If you are ok with receiving t-shirts, what size are you, do you prefer tissue tees, normal crew tees, babydoll etc? Yes, I like tissue and babydoll, L/XL (XL to be on the safe side) 58. THINKGEEK! Who loves it - do you have a wishlist on there?? What are some things you are jonesing for on there for under $20? Love it! Haven’t updated my wishlist in a while – will work on it.

If so, what length? just beyond the wrist, almost to the elbow, full sleeves? Yes – to the elbow 61. Do you feel a particular affinity for a specific animal/s? 62. Anyone have any Paintbox Soapworks loves? I’ve been looking at the Arcana products but can’t remember at the moment the ones I really wanted 63. How would you feel if your witch or a minion of your witch showed up in person at your house with goodies? Thrilled? Annoyed? Completely creeped out? I think that would be fun - but if you wanted to give the goodies to me face-to-face, please give a heads up 64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions. 65. Sock Dreams, yay or nay? Yay 66. Knitted items like scarves, shawls, dishclothes....yay or nay? Favorite fibers? Favorite colors? 67. Is your Amazon WL up-to-date? Not yet 68. If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)? Not a caramel fan 69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types? I would love to try out incense but I don’t have a burner 70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices? I’d love to get spices, especially a good cajun blend 71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen? Yes – I think getting a quill pen would be a lot of fun 72. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "gimme that ghost pepper!" and 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" Where is your heat tolerance? Depends on the ‘type’ of spice – I handle ‘Asian’ spicy better than ‘Mexican’ spicy and I love my cajun spice 73. What is your favorite type of Halloween candy? Don’t really have a favorite 74. Do you need or want any cosy footwear, like fluffy slippers, or slipper socks etc? Slipper socks would be great especially since my slippers have been worn through and I haven’t had the chance to buy new ones yet 75. What do you most look forward to each Fall? Fall fashion and the nice weather cooler weather. 76. What gadgets do you use in your everyday life and would you like a cool case for them - with your favourite fandom or artwork or saying? I guess that would be my phone (Galaxy S5) and would love fun cases for it. 77. Are there any beauty accessories you need or would like? For example make-up brushes, facial brushes or eyelash curlers I always need new makeup brushes for eyes. 78. Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later? Whatever works for my Witch - I will say, it's always fun to get something small and then a big finale. 79. Stores are putting out their halloween PJs and undies! Would you be happy to get any in a package? And if so, what size? For PJ pants, do you like cotton or flannel? 80. Do you like M&Ms? No 81. How about wax melts? I don't have a burner but I would like one so I could try out wax melts 82. Would you like a subscription for Spotify? Sure 83. What scents from the Lillith update would you like to try? I would like to try everything, especially Mermaid 84. Would you be interested in receiving a box of sugar cube skulls? In answer to my own question, yes 85. Skin care routine? Fave cleanser? Toner? Moisturizer? What about body lotions? Any particular brand or scent? Lip balms? Yay or nay? 86. Is there anything you would like from Salem MA (mugs, keychains, postcards, etc.or witchy supplies like incense, candles, books)? As long as it wasn't touristy 87. Would you be interested in any of the items in LisaNut's etsy shop? 88. Spiders (as in cute knit kind) yes or no? Yes 89. Pillows (the mostly decorative type)? Sure 90. Any kind of bags - big, small, medium, purse, grocery, etc? I love bags and tend to gravitate towards smaller clutch types and tote bags 91. Is there anything special coming up in your life? Sadly, no 92. Which one scent would you want from each of the following updates: Metamorphosis, Lilith and GC? 93. Are you interested in anything from NYCC? 94. Would something from the Tokyo Game Show (e.g. postcards, fans) possibly interest you? Sure 95. Would you enjoy any of these couple rings? Or anything from the same store's Halloween collection? I like the Grim Grinning Ghosts cuff 96. If you imbibe at all ... preference between: wine/beer/cocktails and then glassware and/or bar-ware? cocktail gadgetry? Books on the subject/recipes? would you want sample bottles of local/regional/small batch craft spirits if they were home decanted and labeled? I like mixed cocktails, prefer cooking with wine rather than drinking it, and don't touch beer. I would love glassware, gadgetry, and or books of recipes. I tend to lend towards drinks that are vodka or gin based (not a big fan of rum) and I love fruit based liquers. 97. Would you like some chai, lemon, rose water or other flavored sugar cubes? Those sound amazing 98. Jamberry nail wraps? No thanks 99. If you had to choose one currently available book (used-but-obtainable counts if you do used) costing $20 or under for your Witch to buy for you, what would it be? The Price of Fear: The Film Career of Vincent Price, In His Own Words by Joel Eisner (under $20 last I checked on amazon)

What are your thoughts on yarn and handmade yarny things? I love handmade yarny things (and handmade in general); I also love yarn, but don't send any (unless you handdye something special) - my stash is overflowing. For bath and body products: do you have a bathtub or shower? I haved both, but only use the shower, since I don't actually trust my bathtub to take a bath. Dear Swappee: is there anything you might have forgotten to put on your survey? I'd like to be introduced to different comics, especially independent ones. Are there any particular fandoms that you follow? I'm really only into Sailor Moon at the moment (I want all the merchandise), but I also really like Marvel and video games in general. Do you own a wax/oil burner? (If no, would you like one?) I don't, and it's been on my 'to buy' list for years. Would you like loose, fancy tea? I love loose, fancy teas. Fruity, black teas are my preference. Incense, y/n? I'm going to pass this time What is your favorite fall activity? I love when the weather starts to change and that 'fall' feeling arrives - the sun is still nice and bright but there's a definite nip in the air. I love going on walks in the later afternoon, early evening while. I'm in Japan, anything specifically Japanese-y you want? Anything from traditional to 'kawaii'. Merchandise for Kill la Kill, Madoka, and Sailor Moon would be fantastic. I'm a big fan of the brand SWIMMER. Please briefly describe (color, style, preferred type of beads) or provide a picture of (if it is suitable), the type of necklace (if any) you would be interested in getting. If you do not like necklaces, what kinds of jewelry (if any) would you want to wear? I like all types of jewelry. For necklaces, I tend to buy a lot of pendant type pieces. What about hot chocolate/malt drinks? not really into hot chocolate and I don't believe I've tried a malt drink before If you said that you are interested in books (or DVDs or any relatively big standalone sort of item), would you be okay with having multiples of such items spread over a couple of days, or would you prefer 13 distinct themish packages? I'm a big book lover and wouldn't be unhappy with multiple books, but 13 distinct packages would be great as well How into the day themeing mentioned in the first post are you? All themed? A few maybe if they are fun? Not at all? I wouldn't mind a few themed days Speaking of DVDs - are you interested in receiving movies and if so, what sort? Back to the books - if you said you would like books, would you prefer I send you, say, my favorite Halloween anthology or something else spooky/scary, or something off your wishlist/want-to-read on goodreads? Wishlist would be good. I would love to get a Halloween anthology, maybe that's not totally horror focused Process question: Do you want to know who is sending to you right away, or would you prefer to be surprised on the last day, to the extent possible? Likewise, do you have a preference for specifically numbered packages or for reach in and grab according to your fancy? As long as I know who treated me at some point, I'll be happy. For packages, I don't have a preference. Would you be interested in solid perfume? What about lip balm? I've only ever tried one solid perfume, so I wouldn't mind trying more. Yes to lip balm. There was a lot of mention of not wearing costumes/not being allowed to at workplaces. Would you be interested in goth style or Halloween-themed(pumpkins, ghosts,etc.) normal clothes to wear instead, and what would be suitable? I sadly can't wear casual clothes at work, but wouldn't mind getting that sort of thing. I'm going to Rose City Comic Con during the shopping window. Any exhibitors/vendors/comics/etc. you're particularly interested in? OMG THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A GOONIES "NEVER SAY DIE" T-SHIRT! I AM TOTALLY GETTING THAT! Ahem. Yes. I mean... There are things! Are any of them particularly appealing to you and/or your inner twelve-year-old (mine is calling dibs on the Goonies stuff)? Day of the dead/ Dia de los Muertos stuff? Yes

This starts off dark, but then shortly after the apple comes shining through and it becomes brighter and sweet. That doesn't last too long and while it does stay fruity, there's a bit of spice to it. I wish I could discern anything besides that apple but it appears that that is the note that I amp (not that I'm complaining). I'm just happy that it doesn't go foody. If you want a fruity scent for fall, this would definitely fit that wish.

Of the decants I got, this is the one I was worried about. And I was right - this one does not work for me. On me, this is a spicy, soapy scent. It also doesn't really morph all that much from wet to dry. The soap does tone down a little and the frankincense becomes more pronounced, but I get nothing from the licorice.

In the imp, it's a very strong blueberry candy scent (I can't remember what it reminds me of exactly). It isn't overly sweet on my skin for too long with a clear blueberry scent shining through, but it goes through a short spice stage (I don't know if it's reacting to my current soap, which is Villainess' Trauma). After that, it becomes a faint sweet powdery scent. Kind of disappointed and will keep testing, but I think I won't be getting a bottle.

This is a very nice floral - doesn't go powdery or soapy on me which I think is thanks to the patchouli and spices. It also reminds me of a favorite perfume of mine, Flowerbomb (notes: Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli). So basically, I have found the perfect BPAL replica of that scent and it's cheaper. A win-win for me.

Do you journal? Do you need a journal? Would you like a Halloween or Autumn themed journal? I don't journal, but I love pretty notebooks and would love to have a Halloween/Autumn one. Would you use a cookbook? if so, what themes? I would! I would love to get one focused on japanese or chinese food, and I also really enjoy baking. Are there any thematically appropriate books/writers/genres that you've been looking to explore that have not made it into your answers yet? How about new releases you're looking forward to? I just found a book that I would really love to read - The Price of Fear: The Film Career of Vincent Price, In His Own Words by Joel Eisner. Weenies? I signed up for some decants, but some scents that I'm not getting but am still interested in trying are: Alice in the Pumpkin Patch Achluphobia Ooky Haunted Houses Autumn Fancies Free e-books? I don't have a reader, but if I'm able to read it on my computer, sure! How do you feel about... Used books? - As long as the book is in good condition, I'm happy Books in a series? - I'm always looking for a new series to start Graphic novels? - I'm actually looking for Witchblade Short story anthologies? - Yes Poetry, plays, things that aren't novels? I actually am interested in reading more poetry; I also really enjoy a lot of non-fiction that usually focuses on the social sciences

Are there any animals, birds or bugs that you don't like, scare you, or just plain freak you out? I freak out pretty bad with flying bugs (even if they're harmless like ladybugs or moths). I do not like things that can fly in my face. I'm also not the biggest fan of crickets and similar critters. Thankfully, cockroaches aren't a thing I have to worry about in the Pacific NW (they're more disgusting than scarey). I have no issues with spiders. Who likes to write with fountain pens? Do you have a preferred type of pen? I love fountain pens - there's just so much variety when it comes to them. I also really like felt tip pens. And the finer the point, the better (I have a set of Uni-ball Signo Bit pens that are .18) What type of cellphone/mobile, music player, reader, tablet, or other gadgets are your babies? What are your opinions on accessories for them? Hard/soft cases, decals, danglies, carriers, etc? Danglies are amazing. I actually need new ones since the ones on my phone are pretty much about to fall off (I still have a flip phone). What kind of tea do you like? I tend to go for fruity teas. I really enjoy going to the Queen Mary Tea Room and really like their White Peach Blossom tea. I really don't have a preference over the type of tea (like black, white, etc), though I don't often go for green. I tend to drink it straight (no cream or sugar, though sampling the Cameronian Black at Queen Mary probably would have tasted much better with sugar). I also really like loose leaf teas. I do a lot of resin work, specifically, insects in resin. Would receiving one be horrifying? Okay? Interesting? Resin work is really neat, and some insect jewelry is really beautiful. So, I wouldn't mind getting something like that. Are there any other perfume, or bath & body companies that you would like to try? Any that you have tried & would like more of? Or any you have tried, but don't want more of? I'm always looking out for new companies. I would love to try out Arcana's soaps and facial masks. I have one Posset's oil (from a swap) and wouldn't mind trying out more from them. I haven't gotten to try any Nocturne Alchemy scents yet (Seance: SHEN LE). I haven't been able to get any Haunt items since she went to the seasonal releases (I'd love to get my hands on a bar of Goblin soap and Witch-Wife skin glossing oil). Do you enjoy real, old fashioned scary? Not the new-fangled psychological scary...Im thinking dracula, frankenstein, ghosts, mummies, goblins, the disembodied hand...etc... I do - I grew up looking forward to watching the classics every year (and I'm really annoyed that slasher films are the only things shown). I actually don't have any of the classics on dvd and the one I would like the most is my favorite, The Wolf Man (with Lon Chaney, Jr.; I refuse to watch the remake). But I also really enjoy the psychological stuff (asian horror is really good at that). I know we had a question about mix cds in the q'aire, but if you answered yes to a homemade cd, would you be interested in a themed mix? Such as Halloween classics, or dark and stormy classical, etc. and so forth? Yes please! I actually don't have much in the way of 'Halloween' themed music, so this would be wonderful. How sick a sense of humour can you cope with? The only humour I'm really not a fan of is potty humour. If I were going to make you a polymer figurine-or-pendant-or-earrings-or-..., is there any particular thing you'd like more than other things(ex: a tiny 'you', or witch's hat earrings, or a ghost pendant, etc.)? Figurine-wise: fairies and/or dragons; pendant/earrings: anything goes Would you be interested in a handwritten journal that had stuff for and about you(no, not stalker notations); for example, things about your astrological sign, or birthday, or year you were born or recipes or poetry or pictures? Like, a book that you could read, that was assembled just for you(in my sort of sloppy, lefthanded writing[i will write in print, not cursive, so you can still read it]) That would be beyond amazing. Are there any candies you can't stand, and don't want to see in your box? I don't do black licorice, and while I do enjoy a good dark chocolate, it's not something I go for often Decorations: can you have them at your desk at work (assuming you have a desk at work) and would you like some? No desk Are there any books or short stories (or poems) you especially associate with this time of year or always want to reread in autumn? I read Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury last year around Halloween and will associate it with the season, but I don't really have anything that I want to reread each year (I'm determined to read Dracula for the first time in honor of the season this year). How do you feel about skulls? Personally, I love skulls and skull motifs on items. Do you like plushies? Love them Lip balm: tin or tube? I'm fine with either one Do you prefer physical books, or would some form of e-reader book be okay? And if ebook, do you prefer Kindle, Nook, iBooks, or something else? Physical books Oh, and are you okay with Graphic Novels/Comics? I read manga and am a Marvel fan; I would like to know what Wonder Woman storyline is a good one to start with. Jewelry: Gold or Silver? Either one - I still can't decide which one I like best Whether you do or do not nail polish, would you be interested in nail wraps of any sort? Could be festive or not, any brand (in addition to things like Jamberry, there are plenty of other brands out there). Not really - I much prefer polish (though some of the Jamberry designs are cute) Do you or would you burn incense? What kind? How about scented (or unscented) candles? I've been wanting to try out incense. I love candles of all kinds. Are there any things (characters, bad guys, halloween-related-things, fandoms, etc) you absolutely can not stand or don't want in your goodies? The only thing that comes to mind is Twilight (or anything else she's written) and similar storylines; and 50 Shades (the book was going around at work and so I subjected myself to it to see how bad it was; I got through chapter 9 and couldn't read anymore. Have people never read good smut? Considering it's a Twilight fanfiction with changes to make it legal to publish, it's not a big surprise). Wishlists: I do have a ThinkGeek wishlist (just use my name, city/state to find it on the site)

Are there any spices you know you need, or always use? I love cajun spices and would like to try out different types of salts. A good Italian blend (for sauces) would be fun to play with). What colors are your kitchen? Do you need/would you use new potholders? Currently white cabinets, red walls. I’m trying to gather stuff for when I move out, so potholders would be useful – I plan on having a kitchen filled with Hello Kitty appliances. So a cute theme (for any kitchen stuff) would work best. Any small kitchen gadgets you like, need, want or desire? As I mentioned, I’m trying to gather stuff to move out so small kitchen stuff that would be appreciated: Can opener Peeler Salt & Pepper shakers Spiciness Medium. Alcohol I do enjoy it – I love cooking with it. things for the grill? I don’t think so, though spices, marinades, and/or recipes for grilling would be great. would you prefer mostly made stuff that you can just open the box and eat? or ingredients that you can turn into something else? a combination? just whatever i feel like sending? Whatever you feel like sending is fine (though I do enjoy cooking and need some inspiration).

What is your favorite fairy tale, persona, or motif? What imagery does the story/person/thing evoke for you? Do you like or hate how it was handled by a movie or show? How about illustrations and pictures on the subject? Any you are particularly in love with? I’ve got to think about this one. How are you with ethically sourced (read: found in the woods on the ground, on the beach, etc.) formerly living bits? Examples: feathers, butterfly wings, fossilized teeth/bone, clean-but-not fossilized bone. All good. Would you rather have half of something that was super fabulous in conception, but ultimately too much to pull off completely in the time frame(although still fully functional? Why not – I also wouldn’t mind if you needed extra time to pull off and just sent me a hint of what’s to come (if that would be fine with the swap leaders). Is there something specifically in fairytales you do NOT want to see? Can’t think of anything at the moment – will let you know if something comes up. And would you be limited to the idea of 'fairytales' or would you be happy with crossing over into 'origin stories' or 'mythology'? I love mythology especially Greek and Egyptian. If you've mentioned that purple is a favorite color, which shades do you prefer? Darker, royal shades or ones that tend to lean more red than blue. Lighter shades are also fine but not the biggest fan of pastels. If in your questionnaire you talked about different styles or listed a number of favorite stories, now that we've been talking about the subject, has anything sort of popped into your head as a "you know I REALLY wish my artist would do something with X story/theme/subject/style." ? Not really. How do you feeel about nudity? No problems with it. How do you feel about more practical crafty kinds of things, rather than more traditional "art"? Like would you be ok with a decorated box or bag, or something like that? If I could use the art that you make me, that would be a bonus. I would love to get a bag for my gaming dice. Would you like a retold fairy tale (in poem or story form) written by your artist as part of your swap? That would be really neat. How do you feel about receiving a recipe of some sort based off your faerie tale of choice? Or say a meal plan you could do for a day or like a dinner party or something? This sounds so awesome. How do you feel about anime in general? I love anime – go to conventions and cosplay too. I’m going as Sailor Moon for this year’s Sakura Con. What kind of bodyshapes appeal to you in pin up art, male and female? I enjoy pin up – curves are always nice. Don’t really pay attention or look at a lot of male models, so just female for me. How do you feel about excerpts in your art? Are words okay, or would you rather leave language to the imagination? If excerpts are needed, go ahead. If not tastefully, excerpts can really bring a piece together. What is your favorite grimms tale? Would you mind getting extra non fairytale goodies along with the required item? Like teas, bacon caramels, soap? Extras of any kind are always welcomed (though I’m not sure about bacon caramels). Would you enjoy a wearable item? something hand knit by chance? Love knitted stuff. What kinds of things do you like to eat? Snack wise, donuts and Asian sweets/cookies. If you were my patron, is there are particular animal (or animals, or animal tale) from a faerie tale/myth/modern tale/legend that you love or emphasize with? Do you have a particular house color palette? Not really; I’m also hoping to move out sometime in April or around that time and I don’t have any particular color palette in mind either. If you were my patron, what would you be hoping for in miniature Miniatures are super fun! I'm up for anything, but dragons especially

This is a very herbal blend which I'm not always a big fan of but this isn't bad. There is a mint note somewhere but it seems more prominent in the imp than on the skin. For me, the most prominent note I'm smelling is a floral which to me seems to be geranium. I find it to be a bright scent which I think is caused by a citrus note. Overall, not bad and I'll enjoy the imp I have but probably will not get a bottle.

Bunny, are you interested in tarts from Two Timing Tart? What scents, if any, are you interested in? I don’t have a tart burner (yet). The scents I’m most interested in are: Silk Sheets, Tease, Bombshell, Sex Kitten, Winter’s Kiss, Exp #2 and Exp #4. Do you need any holiday recipies? Is there something in particular that you'd like baked or made for you? And for those of you doing the no sugar/low sugar, etc. thing these days, how about savory things? Don’t need anything but love getting new recipes to try. Speaking about candles, how much do you look forward to the BPTP candles that will be launched on Etsy? I don't know if there will be other scents than the Samhain and Pumpkin Cookie one, but is there a specific one you are longing for? I missed out on the candles but I hope they do more. Does anyone have issues with gently used things like books, etc.? No problem as long as it’s in good condition. Are you a big ol' nerd for any particular subject? Science, math, linguistics, etc? Or particular authors/fandoms? Sociology (my major). I’m a fan of anime/manga, love fantasy and sci-fi (I’ve gotten into D&D recently), and video games. Bunnies, how do you feel about lemon-flavored items, like lemon marmalade, lemon curd, lemon pound cake, or lemon cookies? I love lemon pound cake and a good lemon cookie is also nice. Not a fan of things like marmalade and similar things. fingerless mittens or full mitts? Either one is fine, though I tend to prefer fingerless as I can actually do things easier without having to take them off. reveal, yes or no? Yes please! I plan to reveal and I hope my Fox does too. Any favorite cuddly characters? what's your favourite colour? Red, Pink, Black Your favourite gemstone? Garnet, opal, goldstone (both standard and gold) Your favourite animal (real or imaginary)? Imaginary: Dragons Real: Wolves (dogs in general), cats And do you have any intense phobias? Not really. Are you Nano-ing this month, bunny? If so, how would you feel about merch/donations to the cause? Not this year – hoping to attempt next year. Do you like/need boxes for perfume/knicknacks? I could use a box to separate my imps. If you like Christmas music (or any other holiday music, for that matter), what kind of style do you like? Traditional? Modern and poppy? Indie? I can’t have enough Christmas music. Style-wise, anything goes really – I haven’t heard a lot of indie, modern and poppy is fine (but, while I don’t think he has done anything, NO Justin Beiber), and you can’t go wrong with traditional. Do you enjoy things that taste like roses? For example chewing gum, turkish delight, delicious goo that you eat by the spoonful out of a glass jar (and they all taste of rose. Yes, we have all these in Greece.) I don’t think I’ve tried anything that’s rose flavored – wouldn’t mind trying it in gum form. Also, same question about mastic. Would you be interested in trying it out? (If yes, any preferences? for example you wold prefer to try the chewing gum, the turkish delight, an Easter bun (I can go hunting, some companies make them all year round although it's not the same as the bakery Easter ones ), the raw resin itself, anything?) Not really (but it does sound like it would be great in an Easter bun). How do you feel about superheros? Are you a Marvel or DC fan? Do you have a favorite hero? I’m definitely a Marvel girl, but don’t mind DC (most familiar with Batman, would like to read Wonder Woman and Green Lantern; I really want to play Arkham Asylum and Arkham City). Favorite Marvel characters: Dr Strange and Phoenix. i live in the city of the chicken wing. if i were to send you something savory, what's your heat tolerance (or sweet and heat for that matter). I tend to go for the lowest heat, but I don’t mind mild/medium. I love a good sweet sauce. I need to find a good wing place here – back in TX, I had Wing Stop (supposedly, there’s one a few hours away from where I live) and I loved the wings at Jack Astor’s (never had a wing similar anywhere). If your fox/bunny were to gift you with a giftcard from anywhere, as in any store foodwise, music wise etc. what giftcard would you like? Sephora, etsy stores, Pier 1 Imports, Uncles Games If I were to send you chocolate is there anything I should avoid as in nuts, cherries etc.? Also, what are some of your favorite holiday candies? I tend to like my chocolate plain, be it in bar or truffle form. I don’t think I have any favorite holiday candies – will let you know if I think of something. How about mulling spices? I’ve always wanted to try mulled wine so this would be great. My lovely fluffy Snow Bunny, would you like a bodyscrub made by me? If so, what scent(s) would you like, if you had to think along the lines of essential oils? And would you prefer sugar or salt? A dryer scrub or one that's more oily/moist? Sure! I think I’d prefer a sugar and something that would give me some moisture. Dear snow bunny, do you like candles? if yes, then what kind? scented (what scents), unscented, what colors, do you like them plain/painted on the outside/with decorations attached to the surface/sculpted? I love candles of any and all kinds. Nothing overly strong. Also what do you think of little soaps? I know most people don't use soaps nowadays but I love the chocolate/vanilla/cocoa/butter/sugar combo scents that I see at beauty stores. I tend to use a liquid soap for handwashing but I do use bar soap for the shower. Socks! Slippers! Do you love them or not really wear them? If you love them, do you also love Sock Dreams? I do enjoy socks, and need to get a new pair of slippers. I love Sock Dreams. Would you wear something like this if your Fox were to knit you one? If so, what color? http://www.ravelry.c...gap-tastic-cowl I probably wouldn’t mind getting that – definitely would keep my neck warm. talk to me of coffee. Whole bean? Ground? Flavored, not flavored? Decaf, whole caff? Favorite roasters? Drip, french press, keurig? BRING ON THE TEA? I really can’t stand coffee. I do like tea though. Who else here loves or would like to try Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics? If so, what would you like? I’ve been wanting to try their lip tars for a while (pretty much any of the colors). Have you tried anything from Cocoa Pink and if so, what products and scents do you like or would like to try? I haven’t tried anything from Cocoa Pink yet. Scents: Black Vanilla, Champagne Sugar, Disco Lemonade, Fairytale, Nectarine Blossom & Honey, Something Wicked, Voodoo Berry, White Tea. Products: whipped topping cream soap, perfume, goatmilk & honey body lotion. Anybody into nail polish? Any color or formula preferences? I adore nail polish. I tend to go for reds, purples, blues and greens. I’m fine on all types of formula preference, but I do love me some chemicals (older polish seems to be better than the three free ones). If you found a $50 bill on the ground and were to place a Lab order, what would be in it? (And shipping is free through the magical BPAL unicorn!) Glittering Apple of the Stars and RPG imps. Will you be away for any part of the round? No, as far as I know. What type of books do you like? Dying to read anything? I read mostly fantasy and sci-fi, with some mystery and horror. Can’t think of anything that I’m anxious to read. How do you feel about honey/beeswax? Would you like any? Not the biggest fan of honey by itself – wouldn’t mind it if it was used in baking. Are you a Trader Joe's fan, who either doesn't have a store nearby or just loves their stuff and has a wishlist? I know of one store near me but I go once in a blue moon, usually because a friend wants to go there.

Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? I actually prefer film photography – I took my dad’s Minolta with me to Hawaii and I’m looking to buy a film camera (actually it’ll be a graduation gift from my parents). I wish I had a panoramic with me during Hawaii like one of those Sprocket Rocket cameras. I would like to get a Diana F+ sometime in the future. Right now, I don’t need anything though. Does anyone else like collector Barbies? I’m actually a Barbie Fan Club member though currently I don’t have any dolls. Dolls I really want are the Bob Mackie Circus Doll, Maiko (from 2005), Tribute Barbie (2010). I was really happy when Ken and Barbie got back together. Luck charms? Why not. Reveal? I hope you do reveal to me Witch. Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Not really Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? I wouldn’t mind getting an imp of it. how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I’m not that into hemp. Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? Her work is lovely. Do you drink wine? I’m not a big fan of wine though I haven’t tried many – love cooking with it though. I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? I was actually going to ask about these. I really want to try Cherry Bourbon, Coco Noir, Rose Citrus, and Dead Sexy (I just really like the name for that one). JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? I think I've only tried Jones Soda once (not bad). Would not mind getting The Guild or D&D packs. So who else watched Babylon 5? I LOVE Babylon 5. It still is my favorite show and one of the best scifi shows ever made. I only have the first season on DVD sadly and hoping that I get the others soon.

Have the movie, been wanting to read the book. Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? I always forget about Tee Fury, so I miss out on a lot of neat shirts. Today's Cthulu shirt is pretty awesome. Not sure if I'd go with a L or XL but I wear XL for Threadless if that helps with measurement. I also love (and forget about) shirt.woot. From the available shirts, I love Haunted Housework, Nevermore, Acquired Taste, Laundry Day, Super Effective, Reading Rocket Ship (this should also give a good idea of the type of designs I like in general). What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches? The Twelve Dancing Princesses and Allerleirauh. What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel, like this? Very cute, I especially love the Dalek one and the pumpkin mouse. Is there anything you like or would like to try from Bath & Body Works? I like the liplicious glosses (would especially like Forbidden Apple). I have products in Black Amethyst and Midnight Pomegranate, would like to try Secret Wonderland, Twilight Woods, Dark Kiss, and Japanese Cherry Blossom.

The Halloween lotion scents of Plum Potion, Spider Cider, and Sinful Vanilla sound really good. what's your favorite kind of pizza? I stick with the classic pepperoni. Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? The conjoined gingerbread men cookie cutter looks super cute. I would love to try the Ü perfume.

Definitely will check up on it and will post a list up on my scent wishlist. The illusrations for the site are super cute. Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Utz chips! Can't get them here and they are my favorite potatoe chip. What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I like them - I've been looking to get a new pair as I've lost the ones I had. Black with color accents or Red with black accents would be fun to find. Probably would like them to go up to about my elbow. Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I love candles of all types. I've been wanting to try tarts but I need to get a burner for them. What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I tend to get cravings for salty things, and I like sweet as well but nothing overly sweet. What's your favorite horror movie? Among the classics, The Wolf Man with Lon Chaney, Jr. is my favorite. For modern day... I don't know. I do love Silent Hill and am excited that the sequel is finally going to be coming out next year. I love horror movies. The scariest one I've seen would probably be Ju On - I watched it with a friend and we had to leave the house and go to Denny's cause we both were a bit freaked out (good movie). Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Hell yes! I want to go to the Lego store at the mall and just get containers of various blocks and extras to play with. The board games look like they'd be fun. Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?

Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... I’m not the biggest fan of pumpkin scented things – but I wouldn’t mind trying the scent out in soap or candles Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Never heard of Glamourkin before – after a little browsing there are a few that caught my eye. Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I have a list going on of which ones I want Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?

Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I do like Star Trek – I’ve mostly seen ‘classic’/original (both tv show and films) which I prefer. The new movie was good but William Shatner will always be Captain Kirk to me. I adore tribbles. Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? interested in anything from Lush? I’ve never actually tried Lush before, so bath products would be fun. I especially want to try Lemon Flutter. Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?

If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I have a burner and some incense but don’t really get much chance to use it. I would love to get a nicer burner and a range of different kinds. I’d probably would go for a range of scents, nothing too floral (no rose unless it’s rather light). What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I’m a Marvel girl – favorite character is Phoenix. I would like to read Witchblade as well as some of the DC comics. Would be open to suggestions as well. Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I haven’t really decorated for Halloween for a couple of years now, which makes me sad as it’s a lot of fun – I really don’t have much to decorate with sadly. I’d say my decorating would be a mix of elegant and fun but would mind getting a range of decorations. From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? I’ve got some decants coming to me (BPAL update) but I’m really interested in the BPTP update: epescially the Spun Sugar Spectre and Fruit Bat Fruit Bath bath oils, all the bath brews, and the hair glosses in Fig and White Sandalwood and White Tea and Sage.

Yes I am - koalahaspocket

What about book related accesories? Do you use/need reading lights, book marks, highlighters, etc..? How do you feel about getting the first few volumes of a long series? That would be fine (great even) – I tend to read a lot of series, and always trying to find something new when I finish one. I find it hard to find a new author to try out so suggestions are also very welcomed. Favorite genre of spookiness (ghost, slasher, psych-thriller, etc)? I really need to expand on my horror reading – I quite enjoy suspense and always ejoy a good ghost. I don’t think I’ve read many (or any at all) slasher and would like to read some more psych-thrillers. Favorite genre in general, or any you really don't like? I tend to read a lot of fantasy or books with fantasy elements. I’m not a big fan of ‘chick-lit’ or hardcore romance (though reading the summaries of romance novels is a lot of fun – they’re just so hilarious). Favorite snacks-while-reading? I don’t really snack when reading though I tend to grab a soda. Favorite place to read? Bed Anthologies: Yea or nay? Yea – they can be a good way to take a break from heavy reading or something to tie me over while I find another series to devour.

Would you enjoy a novelty scarf? Sure! I’m a gamer, love Doctor Who (though my favorite show is probably Babylon 5), and I’m a Marvel girl Delicate, tough, or it doesn’t matter? Doesn’t matter. I tend to forget to wear one, but when I do, I like it to actually help in keeping me warm. How do you feel about ruffles/pick ups? They’re fine What are your least favorite colors – I do not really like pastels or neon colors. Would not like a scarf that is made up primarily of orange/yellow (if it’s in a variegated yarn that’s fine) Non-knitted scarves – why not? What scarf types do you like? I only have plain straight scarves. Shawls or wraps would be fine, I’m not to sure if I’d like a moebius scarf (they look interesting but not sure how efficient they would be). Poncho-like items – not so much Cowls would be very useful I’ve never had a hooded scarf, but if it was cute, I would totally wear (my ears tend to get neglected so something like that would probably be really useful) Lace? Lace looks really pretty and I don’t think I have any lace scarves or what not How do you feel about art yarn? I think art yarn is very interesting (and some can be gorgeous) - not to sure if I'd like a scarf made entirely of art yarn, but if it's worked in, that would be fine. I always feel that art yarn needs to be made into an accesory like a purse or something similar. How do you feel about mixing up textures? If the yarn feels good, I don't care how many textures are in the scarf as long as it's comfy. Stripes - yea or nay? I love self-stripping yarn and straight up stripes are fine.
