I even make things with berries I grow in my garden. I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla. I love homemade canning things, and lavender is a flavour I really enjoy Interested? Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round? For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself?? I have zero expectations for this round, I am always happily impressed by what my Witch gifts me, and this is usually where I learn about new foods/ crafts/ hobbies etc and then jump down the rabbit hole on my own Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself? This could be helpful, but sometimes the materials may be awkward to mail.. Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? i would like to try some of their seasoning blends 9/3/20 Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty Yes, I would try the highlighter, eyeshadow, and I am curious about the makeup brush cleaner 9/2/20 Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks oh yes! one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ).

Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me! I would be interested in the sweet potato kit kat, and I love all Japanese staionary, and do love a good washi tape What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries. I love getting a massage, and one of my favourite self care activities is having a nap. They feel so... naughty, but also like you're still a kid. It feels like you have wasted all that time doing something you could be doing at night, you know? 8/29/20 Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)? I would like to try the scrubs, and I have used the soap before and I like it, but my fave are the sample sizes because they are great for travel, not that we are doing much of that anymore... Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)? I love their bath oil and hair glosses haven't ever tried their soap but would be willing to ow do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray? Sure!

I would be curious about her scrubs I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s right now. Pics available upon request! It sounds interessting- sure After enjoying looking at the links several others have put in the questions, I decided to add some of my own favorite independent artists who I enjoy supporting - so, what do you think of the goodies from these people?

(https://store.dandelionchocolate.com/pages/home) Yes please! Chocolate is a super safe bet with me lol. 9/16/20 Would you, my dear Witchee, like anything from April Gloom? https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilGloom (this is our @spookygrrrly - switch witch code coming soon to a spreadsheet near you.)

How do you feel about local items from my city, like spicy (think chili) things or local coffee? The coffee is not spicy lol. I love to try other peoples local offerings, so this would be good for me. iwill be honest though, I don't drink coffee so that would be taken in by my husband, who does. do you have good feelings about Funko Pop? I have a few Funko, I'm not seriously collecting or anything, but have been given a few. Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy? Not part of the question , but it should be noted that I love both candles and wax melts, as I have a warmer for them. I am also a sucker for alot of different smells lol https://cantripcandles.com/collections (restocks Friday 9/18 at 9:00 PST) I would really like the sample set, so then I could discover my favourites https://miruscandles.com/collections They are all so good sounding but seriously loving A LOT from the wizard line.. https://briarwickcandles.com/collections I dodn't get to look at them all, but Jareth and Angel seem like they would be ones that I would enjoy! 9/17/20 Is there something from your fandom that popped up in another country you'd be particularly interested in? What, and what store? It's hard knowing without perusing for hours on the web, but anything Harry Potter is a safe bet Would you be interested in some boozy chocolates (or anything else) from https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/ ? Yes to any of them! 9/18/20 Witchee, assuming you like home made/home canned condiment goodies, what is your spice level preference?

Most of them sound pretty yummy 9/19/20 Lilith are up! Is there anything from the release that you want? Decant or full bottles? Baby's first Chainsaw sounds intriguing, definitely loving the notes in Interlude. add to that you are not alone as well. How would you feel about recipes? recipes are a fantastic Idea, I love the idea of making my Witch's favourite foods. Would anyone be interested in anything from Bucees?! It’s a magical giant beaver gas station/shop! It has spices, fudge, Knick knacks, all things Texas, candy, beef jerky, roasted nuts, and of course beavers! Most things like the fudge and nuts are made in house. Sure! 9/20/20 How do you guys store your decants so they are not a confused mess? If you've got a system, please share it. I don't have a complex system, they are in ammo cases and I store them alphabetically. 9/21/20 I'm a knitter. I have some knitted washcloths done, and can knit up more. Would you like some? Also, if answered soon enough, I can maybe get a scarf done. Would you like one? What colors would you like? Thin or thick? With or without fringe? Are you allergic to any fibers - wool, cashmere, angora, alpaca? I also knit and crochet, as does most members of my extended family. I have enough cloths and scarfs, etc, so please don't be offended- my cupboards are already overflowing with them. Witchee, darling, there's a *slight* chance I might be going on a trip next week and *might*, in the course of this trip, have access to Disneyworld goodies from Epcot and Magic Kingdom - any stuff you might desire? OH YES, BIG BIG YES. any Halloween decor, any and all of the dresses from the boutiques (NOT that I expect you to pay that , I'm just making a list as we go), but especially the haunted mansion ride dress- actually anything haunted mansion will be appreciated, honestly this is a difficult question for me to answer because when it comes to disney, I basically want all the things... 9/22/20 Would you like any of Snag Tights’ Halloween offerings and if so, what size? So I answered this on the actual thread of conversation, but will state here that you can't go wrong with stripey tights. The mermaid ones look pretty awesome as well. Do you prefer getting one or two really nice/more expensive things or several smaller/less expensive little things? Or do you have no preferance? This is such a loaded question for all the reasons that have been posted in the thread. I have no preference as I know whatever I receive will be sent with thoughfulness and love, and that My Witch did what she thought was the best for me and for her time/budget. So no preference here at all. Witchee, do you like tea? If so, what kind? I do enjoy a good cup of tea, I like Irish breakfast and flavoured ones. Steer clear of anything with orange in it though, I have never found one I have liked. Witchee, do you want anything? Shirts, mugs, postcards from Anarchist Seattle, Portland, or New York.... https://www.redbubble.com/people/litlnemo/shop?artistUserName=litlnemo I'm good, thanks Would you be interested in a gently-used tarot deck (or other oracle)? If so, toss out some styles you gravitate towards, cause I have SO MANY DECKS and I'd love to send one or more along! I would be only if the person I get them from doesn't mind that they may not actually be used as tarot but possibly for mixed media art projects. Are you interested in receiving a burned CD of music? If so, name of genres, artists, styles that you are into or would like more of to explore. I love discovering new music. Generally these forums is where my tastes get expanded. So if you have some favourite artists or bands, send them along- although I might suggest a usb stick instead of a cd, as I have had one break in transit. Do you have an Amazon wishlist? If you do and you're ok with getting stuff from it, please share the link! My wishlist is actually my cart, but once I have a moment or two, I will make one and post the link. Pumpkin/pumpkin spice – yay or nay? Yay in food/drinks but nay in other products (soaps, perfumes, etc.) or vice versa? What are your thoughts? You can't have enough pumpkin spice, the only thing I don't like it in is lip balm, oddly. Candy corn – love it or loathe it? Or just don’t care much one way or another? Not a huge fan, but am curious about the thanksgiving ones that have been making the rounds, but other than that they are meh. 9/23/20 https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea <---- would you be interested in receiving tea and / or scents from Poesie? London Smoke and Twice to Tea sound like they would be right up my alley tea wise, and I didn't get to look long at every thing, but Charm of Making describes as a scent I would like. I have been remiss--witchee (or anyone needing a minion), I am notorious for homemade caramels, shortbreads both savory and sweet, and catnip/catnip laced toys. I've also started playing with homemade marshmallows and fruit candies. Any interest? I do love me some caramels, and funky flavours are always welcome 9/25/20 I happen to live near this amazing place. Do you have any interest is anything that I could pick up there? The have hand made pottery, cookie molds, cookbooks with historical recipes all sorts of good stuff. https://www.gcv.org/shop/ The slipglaze crock is gorgeous, as are the pie plates. 10/1/20 Would you be interested in anything from KBShimmer's new Fall nail polish collection or their Falloween collection? Fully Booked and Bugs and Kisses are my picks from the Fall Collection, Take it or Leaf it, and Creep it Together are my picks from Falloween 10/3/20 Witchee, darlin', anything appeal from this goth-metal-Satanic Tea company, Pitch Black North? https://www.pitchblacknorth.com/category/all-tea Vanilla Earl Grey or Black Lavender WITCHEE, WOULD YOU LIKE ANY OF THESE? Don't just say "yes" -- please be specific about which ones you want the most! Brown Sugar Plum Butter Pflaumenmus (also Plum Butter) Cardamom Plum Jam Star Anise Plum Jam Ginger Peach Butter Vanilla Peach Jam Sweet Green Tomato Relish Dill Green Tomato Relish Huckleberry Jam Apple Butter Candied Jalapenos (delicious with cream cheese on burgers or crackers) Lavender Vanilla Bean liqueur Rose Petal liqueur Star Anise Plum jam, Ginger Peach Butter, Vanilla Peach Jam, Candied Jalapenos (YES PLEASE!) Lavender Vanilla Bean Liqueur all sound DIVINE 10/4/20 the other day I found the pattern I made for a small crocheted skull. I have made some before and included some herbs and oils and such, things that both smell good and are said to carry protective virtues, in the stuffing, and hooked them up to hang in a vehicle or such. Would any of y'all like one of those? I love this idea! 10/5/20 is anyone a Daredevil fan?? I'm going to be working with Christopher Brewster who is Daredevil in the suit (i.e. the stunt performer but not the FACE of the actor... but when the suit is on... its Brewster). I worked with him on something else... and he was super cool... excited to get to work with him again... but if that's anyone's fandom... I wanna know LOL My Son is a HUGE Daredevil fan, he would be so pumped by this.

not much here on me with this one, it's minty but not overpoweringly so, and..... that's it.

All cake with a touch of currants, which I find my nose can't smell until my arm in heading away from it, like a memory of currants. The cake is vanilla-y, but has spices in it- kind of comparable to a box cake versus one from scratch. The scratch one is better, and this imp has the scratch version in it. Surprisingly light, for being a foody scent, and I suspect this won't last long on my skin. I was mistaken. It's still on me, just really close to my skin. Any hint of currant is gone and has been replaced by smelling like a food version of snake oil, but in secret because snake oil blows up on my skin and has tremendous throw, while this doesn't but has the same spices in it, with the sweetness still there. A keeper.

So, when I first sniffed this, I thought uh oh, that jasmine is super strong. But I got brave and dabbed it on anyway. The Jasmine gets a slap and is told to behave by the lemon verbena. It's actually quite lovely. I don't know if I am getting any neroli because I do smell something else, but the green tea is a no show, which I can live with. it's a bright sunshiny floral, that I don't mind at all. Although I 'm not usually one for lemon scents, this one does beautiful things- at least on my skin. I will probably frimp this to my daughter though, she loves lemon perfumes. Edited to add: This one doesn't last very long on my skin at all.

Like a lot of people on here- a lot of zucchini at first, but then the leather shows up halfway through the drying time. Not much in the way of vetiver, which is ok by my as we don't always get along. I have almost no throw and have to keep my nose close to the skin to sniff it out. near the end of the drydown the vetiver has peeked out, with the zucchini still faintly there but leather being the note that stands out the most. I only have an imp, and I think I will keep it, but not sure how often I would wear it. I will try layering it with the other rpg and see how it goes. Edited to say: I'm going to let the man try this one on for size, see what he has to say ...

All cherry almond in the imp. While it is wet, the plum comes out, but still has a almond smell to it. I agree with alot of pp's that it has a plastic smell to it. It is missing the "realness" of the plum, and the almond for that matter. During the drying down, my skin sucked on it like a kid with a lollipop, kept it close to itself and and didn't throw it away. Some sort of sour flower is showing itself, but every note is shadowed by this fake smelling something. It's like I am trying to smell it through a layer of saran wrap almost. I wanted to keep an open mind with this one but it just isn't meant to be. Off to the swap pile. edited for spelling

I think I have a mislabel because after reading all of the reviews here, that is most definitely what I do not get. For me it was a chocolate coffee smell. Weird.

Got this as a frimp, and thoght I would give it a go. In the vial it's very sweet but with something floral. On my skin it's sweet with a hint of musk, and the floral is still there, just not as prevalent. As it dries I get the honey, the musk, and an afterthought of floral. Zero throw, and not overpowering, but does feel like it's missing something, but that makes sense (scents?) as they were made for layering. I think I have an imp of Rogue I will have to dab on top of this to see what happens. Keeping my imp, but don't think I need a bottle.

Dammit I wanted to love this one. Super nauseating throw and all I can small all lilies, which is odd, since it isn't even in the description, but man oh man, there is no question that this is all lilies on my, like big blooming Funeral lilies. When I get my nose up close, I can just make out what I think is the peony, but I smell nothing else. I can't even wait for the drydown, it is giving me a raging headache. Sadly off to the swaps/sales with you..

Just got this in and had to try it on right away. I agree with a pp about it smelling like strawberry candies in the bottle, but that is not the case when it is on my skin. At first it is straight up strawberry, with something soft trying to peek out, I am assuming it's the mallow. After about half an hour the mallow and the strawberry are dukeing it out, and it has considerable throw on my skin. a couple of hours later, I have a very soft, closer to the skin sweet creaminess with a slight flower smell to it, which has to be the mallow, and an afterthought of the strawberry. I am wondering how this will age, as it does seem what others have termed a "young" scent. Been trying it again, and for some reason, my skin chemistry at this moment has it drying out to be a VERY similar scent to Antique Lace, which I adore. I know (am pretty sure) they don't share any notes, so it is probably just me or my nose, but who cares?? So this one, for me at least, just keep s getting better and better.

I get a hint of leather and some super luscious sandalwood, it's beautiful and has a paper "feel" to it in my nose. A decent amount of throw, but does fade quite quickly. I wish it had more staying power but I am fine with having to reapply regularly.

I tested this out and agree with most on here about it being a manly clean cologne, that I feel like I have smelled before. My friend sniffed and said it smells like Irish Spring soap, so there you go. Off to swaps!

I love this scent. It is remiscent to me of Aizen myoo, but without the fruity-ness of AM. It just sparkles as a nice clean floral, it's beautiful. Going on my wishlist for a bottle for sure.

Really light on me, not so sweet but.. innocent I guess is what I am looking for, but not in a little girl innocent sort of way. It's really very pretty and a surprise that I like it as much as I do. Not much throw to it, but I think that if this scent had a lot of throw it could become very overpowering very quickly, so The lowness of throw suits it quite nicely. I will see how often I reach for this decant to determine if I need a bottle of it. Edited to add: I think my husbandis on drugs. Severe drugs. I aksed him to sniff me. He said he liked it. I asked him to describe it. He said I smell like Butterscothch- WHAT!?!?! He doesn't have a cold so he must be high lol.

I won this through a giveaway (looking at you crimescenecleanup- thanks again!) and finally had the opportunity to test it today. Super inky wrapping paper, definitely the kind where the ink may come off on your fingertips. It has that processed smell to it, but there is something in the background that I have smelled before but can't place it for the life of me. I agree with TTP I think that it would be a good layering scent, on it's own it makes you smell like you work in a print shop- which is fine by me because I like it, but people may need a bit more depth than that to wear it. Decent wear time and throw.

08 Nov Do you have a wood-burning fireplace or fire pit, and if so would you like handmade firestarters or scenting bundles to throw on it? (think bundles of apple wood chips and cinnamon bark, or little wax/herb/paper bundles with a wick) I do not, sadly.

I also love to crochet and knit, so "farty" yarn would be a nice treat lol. - any cross stitch items like a small wall hanging or bookmark? I'm learning cross stitch and might be able to get a project done. I'm hip with inappropriate phrases... Sure! - if you said you'd want a knitted item, are there any particular favorite patterns you'd like - pinterest? ravelry bundle? You can take a peek at my ravelry library. My user name is witcharoo.

I would appreciate anything my snow anbgel wouldl ike to bring, but I do like to collect patches and squished pennies from different places. What's your shoesize? Would you like to receive socks? 7-8 and yes please life is too short for boring socks. Stuff from The Netherlands, England, Germany, etc.: Yes Please! England especially. It is on my bucket list of places to see. I really really really want to go there. But, I know that both the Netherlands and Germany have great things to offer, so if my snow angel is headed there, I do collect patches ( or badges as some call them) of different places, so I would also love those as well. Office supplies: Yep I work at a boring old desk so anything to make it more my own is welcome. Spicy, cheesy, or sour snacks: Yes please! As long as there is no wheat in them it should be fine. Would you like cooking ingredients, mixes, spices, oils, gadgets, etc.: Yes I would Soaps or bath gel? I use gels more often than bar soap, but that doesn't mean I won't use it. Candles, wax melts, incense? Candles and wax melts, yes. Incense no. I love it but it bothers the hubs. Jewelry preferences: Silver/silver-toned, or copper/bronze (I don't have any allergies or sensitivities). Sweeteners: I try to avoid artificial sweeteners when I can. Handmade items & homemade food: Yes yes yes please! Licorice? I used to love licorice, but I can't have it anymore since it contains wheat. Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? If not, would you want some of their famous delicious treats? (Cookie butter - original or pumpkin spice!, sweet plantain chips, chocolate covered potato chips, etc) I do not have a Trader Joe's near me, but always watch with envy at the wonderful things that come out of that store lol. So yes, I would love some of their famous delicious treats. Do you have any interest in Shakespearean swag (insult mugs, play themed lip balms, oodles of other possibilities) or general performing arts related goodies? I love Shakespeare so this would be good for me What is your favorite Christmas story - be it book, movie, cartoon - and if there are various versions, which is your favorite? I would say that my favorite Christmas story would have to be the Claymation Rudolph the red nosed reindeer because I remember vividly watching when I was small at my grandparents house. As I ot older it was definitely a Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation. Do you have a preference for numbered packages or random selection? Whatever my Snow Angel's heart desires. Do you have any external wishlists, Goodreads, or anything else that you might not have listed in your survey? No I don't but I am always interested in learning about new authors. For books that are part of a series, do you have a strong preference for whether you receive them in order, assuming that any overarching plot is reasonably easy to pick up on and the main story is self contained? Obviously in order is usually best, but if it's a really good story, it should be fairly easy to pick up in the middles with no issues. 03 Nov what kind of collector are you? And do you have a log or a list somewhere away from the forum of the things you love, hate or already own? I have an excel spreadsheet that I chronicle everything I own and have tried- I also have notes on if I have already swapped it, just to remind myself that I have indeed tried a specific scent already. 02 Nov Christmas decor? We are hosting Christmas this year and the theme is cozy Chirstmas. So everyone will be coming in their pjs or comfy wear and I plan on using alot of knits and warmish things for decorating the tables with. My trees (yes, I have 2 every year) don't have a theme unless you called it colourful eclectic. I have all sorts of ornamets and bright colours and nothing matches and they look awesome When it comes to makeup, what is your coloring? Fair, dark? Sensitive skin? Eye color? Hair color? Style....funky, natural? Any additional makeup info? I am very fair, with hazel eyes, dark hair, styled any old way I want on any given day I wear lots of different colours when it comes to eyeshadows and as for any other additional make up info I am looking into foundations. I have always used just a powder but right now I am considering trying a liquid.... Is there any craft or hobby that you are interested in trying? Right now I am really looking into spinning my own yarn. I want to get one of those kits with a top spindle ( the ones where the disk is at the top, not the bottom) and some roving and just give it a go. I wouldn't care if the yarn was dyed or not, I just really want to try it. 31 Oct I love crocheting, it's my favorite hobby. Can I make you a scarf/cowl/sweater/lap blanket to keep you wintery-warm!? I love crochet and you can make me any number of things, an aghan (although I pretty sure shipping would be horrendous), mitts, fingerless mitts, a scarf/cowl kind of deal, or whatever my swapper wants to make for me. How do you feel about knit socks? (Plain stockinette, lacework, cables, etc). Are there any other hand knit items you'd especially like? (Mittens, fingerless gloves, hats, etc). I cannot get enough of knit socks. The time it takes (for me anyway) to actually sit down and make a pair, well let’s just say I am in awe of people who can churn them out. You can do cables, lace, plain, whatever your heart desires. Anything else that tickles your fancy to make me would also be happily accepted J How do you feel about amigurumi (i.e. little crochet toys), either characters from a fandom, wee animals, or as decorations? I would LOVE some!! Fanbased would be most welcome (Harry Potter, Sherlock, Dr who, game of thrones, labyrinth, dark crystal, Nightmare before Christmas, Princess bride, and many more) What kind of snacks do you like? Does dried fruit or crunchy dried vegetables sound appealing? Do you like (raw) honey? Jerky? Jam? What sort of local products do you like to receive as gifts? If you're familiar with products in the Pacific Northwest, is there anything specific you'd like to try? All of them sound good. I just can’t do wheat though, that’s the only thing you need to watch out for. Other than that, I am very adventurous with food and will usually try anything once. If there's one place you could go in the world, where and why? England would be a place I would love to go to. I am in love with all of the history there. Ireland is second on the list, there are a few vying for third. What sort of dollar store items do you always get a kick out of? So, I don’t know if there is anything I get a kick out of per se, I like to browse the aisles. I do purchase some of my kitchen items from there (think tin foil, sandwich bags etc), and sometimes they have cook kitchen gadgets. Do you like to receive plants or gardening stuff? Do you grow plants? What's your favourite flower, if you have one? My favorite plants are lavender, roses, peonies, succulents, irises, marigolds, peppermint, in no particular order. Favourite flowers to look at touch: pansies, peppermint, lavender, Favourite flowers to sniff: Roses, peonies, daffodils, irises, violets, If you had a custom perfume/beauty/bath product made for you, what would it be and what would the scent description look like? (everything from prose to the specific selection of notes) A custom blend would probably be something smoky, with a hint of a sweetness coming from one of my favorite flowers, and ending with a whisper of parchment and ink. I love drawing! Either fanart chibis on the tablet or portrait work in graphite pencil... but it's been a while..so I'd love to use this as an excuse to draw something for you! If you could commission an art piece, would you choose traditional or digital artwork- and what would it be of? Traditional for sure because I would want to hang it up,a nd I would get lazy printing out a digital one. And whatever you are happiest drawing would be good for me J

If not wheat then we wold be good Would you be interested in project bags/pouches? I usually make flat bottom round pouches with a pocket inside and a drawstring. Possibility of embroidery if we still have the huge commercial machine. - I cannot stress this enough, if my witch should choose to make something for me with her hands, and take the time and effort to think it out and work on it, then I would happily accept it and find a use for it.

(merino, merino cashmere, merino cashmere silk, 100% silk, 100% cashmere, merino nylon, BFL, BFL silk, etc. Or do you like acrylic?) -I don't really have a preference to what the fiber is, as long as it isn't scratchy.

What kinda characters would you like to see? They're adorable but I don't know that I would wear it often enough to warrant owning one. Reused Packing Supplies? I have tons of bubble mailers that I get reused from my work so I am good with those (although if people don't mind, I may use some as packing filler). Do you like things with Pumpkin (or Pumpkin Spice?) I love pumpkin, but maybe not so much pumpkin spice. I would however, be open to trying something off the usual path of those kind of things.

I will do either, but please refrain from oceanside-y scents or anything too foody Do you have an Etsy wish list, and if so, what's your user name there? I believe this is on the spreadsheet, but its witcharoo Tokyo Milk? Yea or Nay?

Utilitarian or fancy? Lined or blank? Tell me of your stationery lustings. I love all stationary- nice pens (I use a fountain pen for day to day), fancy papers, pretty journals, they can be lined or not, and a nice planner would do well for next year. I prefer spiral bound for an organizer, and book bound for journals, and colored pages are fine as well. If you are ok with knitted things, what colors do you like? I love knitted things and the colours I like are all the jewel tones and black. If striping, what two (or more) colors together? Black and anything, usually only two and never more than three together though.. If you want yarn, what colors do you want? --- A color palette would be lovely if you use Pinterest. Or just want to post palette photos in your blog. I would love some yarn, and I will make a pinterest board specifically for pallets of colors, but Im pretty much all over the place. J Are you interested in fabric? Again, what colors, what themes, etc. I would go with the same color pallets as the yarn and I also have a fabric board as well. I am currently collecting charm squares for a random coloured quilt top I want to make. You can also look at my quilts board as there is tons of stuff on there too. Although right now I am little desperate for a layer cake pack or a fat quarter pack of Tula Pinks Elizabeth fabric collection What are your tea and/or coffee preferences? Loose leaf / whole bean or bagged / ground? Do you have a favorite type? Flavor? Retailer? I dont do coffee but teas are good, I just seem to drink as much of it these days. I have liked Davids Tea, Twinnings (the irish breakfast one is a sure go) If you could receive one handmade item - everything from knitted or crocheted gloves and scarves to sewn bags to fanart or original art, what would you prefer?

Are you allergic or sensitive to any textiles, ie wools, cashmere, nylon, metallic threads, mohair, alpaca? Knitted washcloths? For the kitchen or for the bath? And again, colors?? I think I've pretty well answered this in the above, but Witch, if you need more specifics, just let me know! So, Witchee, I make hair falls (you can see a few examples in my woefully out of date Tumblr here: http://lovelybluekarou.tumblr.com ) Would you like some hair falls? I can make a single (ponytail) or double (for pigtails). Short, long, types of yarns, ribbons? Extra things (buttons, beads, wire wraps? Colors/color combinations? Stuff to avoid? They are lovely but not for me, Thank you NYCC Scents: There are none that scream at me to get them, but if you pressed me to pick one, it would be Mrs. Bunce. Tarot Cards: No thank you. Cryptozoology/cryptids (Big Foot, lake monsters, chupacabra, etc.): While I am not headlong into discovering them , Wikipedia did show me exactly how many there are- wow! I don't know that I have a favorite, but I think it could be fun So, the Weenies came up and I am surprised at how many caught my eye,which is no good for my bank account: *Witch Dance A Kneeling Child Watching a Ghost, Devil, and Puppet Making Mayhem in a Room *Dead Leaves and Lavender buds This Wan White humming Hive *Speak! Speak! The Gambols of Ghosts The Ghosts High Noon The Smithfield Ghost The Ghost of Darius Appearing to Atossa *third charm The ones with stars are the ones I really want and the others I really want to just try BPTP picks: The Ghost Story October Dusk Edited to add lavender pumpkin floss, because well, lavender.

Anything here: http://paintboxsoapworks.com/ look like something you'd like to try (assuming that you're not already ordering it)? I would like to try their 221B scent, and the englishman, and it can be in any form, but I think I would like it in the wax tarts the best Do you like stuff related to Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)? Yes I do, very much. Anything would be appreciated. Knitted Items? Yes please! I crochet mainly but have done a few knitted items, but don't have any real talent for it- my pieces usually look fairly wonky. And by having done small amounts of it myself, I truly appreciate the work that goes into every item. Fandom/Specific Items? There is alot to choose from when it comes to me... Dr who, Sherlock Holmes, Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal, anything disney, Fall/Halloween Icons? Bats, owls, pumpkins (so much so I have a tattoo of one), witches, skeletons, ravens, First, talk to me about soaps- do you like them, and what kinds of scents/lather/varieties do you like? I do like soap, and am willing to try news ones all the time. Second, tell me about teas! Favorites? Anything you'd like to try? I am open to anything, no real preference except I don't like chais very much. Lastly, I go to Renn Faire- is there anything from there you might like? I love Ren Faires!! I would happily accept anything my swapper wants to gift me, it's all so much fun What Weenie of year's past are you seeking from the lab? PAn Dwardowski and the devil <-- big want!!Theme in Yellow, October, Tattie Bogle, Anything with Hay or Wood or leather would be nice, but steer clear of cinnamon... Lush? I love their flying fox scent. I live in Japan, is there anything from there you would specifically want? Since I have never been to Japan, I don't know exactly what there is to want But, if my Scarecrow thinks there is something particularly awesome that needs to be shared around the globe I'm all for it. And, I don't mind Hello Kitty So, in this swap, you open a goodie every day. I have seen this gift direction done several different ways, but I am interested in which you are most keen to do. Would you rather: A. have strict direction as to which gift is to be opened on which day(aka the number system)? B.have a few gifts that are meant to be opened on specific days (ex: *this* one is for Halloween night only), but the rest be your choice? C. have a free-for-all, grab bag-style box of goodies, where you are the sole arbiter of your goodie grabbing destiny(everything is wrapped but you pick the gift you want to open each day)? D. be surprised? Just Surprise me. Maybe my scarecrow isn't the kind to be all methodical and stuf and I don't want to have them losing their straw ( <--- see what I did there) stressing out about it. Scarecrow/pumpkin? I vote yes, as this post clearly indicates lol. Pumpkin Spice or No Pumpkin Spice? "To be clear, I like the SPICE. And I like fresh, actual pumpkin things- pumpkin pie, etc. BUT, I do NOT like pumpkin+spice *perfume*. All the Pumpkin Patch scents go wrong on me, sadly. And if you have some Pumpkin King that you'd like to send me...well, I would NOT turn that down! ;)" Quoting because it applies to me as well Milk, white, and/or Dark Chocolate? Anything but white please. Do you like Yankee Candle? Anything you want from there? I like their witch's brew, but the black magic that I have smelled is better to me. Trading Post Goodies? But of course! Bath and Bodyworks? B&B is not for me, except for their hand sanitzers, but no foody scents in those. Tell me of your Sock Dreams, please! http://www.sockdreams.com/_users/wishlists/64647964795ad23 i'd like to make some baked goods, would you like some? And if you have any food allergies what can I use as a substitute? Well I am allergic to wheat and although Quinoa or tapioca or rice or a combination of those flours work , it really depends on the recipe and what you're making. It doesn't always translate well. If you still want to bake me something, the 6 other beings in my house wouldn't have a problem with it! I wanted to let you know that it wouldn't go to waste. What is your stance on Glitter? Yes. I do glitter Goodreads/book wish list: I do not have one, sorry. Witch In/Out Sign Sure! Art Absolutely. Dearest Pumpkin - how much are you wedded to wishlists, say I have some read once books which I think you might like based on what you've read in the past, but there is nothing of the sort on your current Goodreads "to read" list? Yes, please! How do you feel about reading series out of order? If they aren't tied to one another in an absolute way, but can stand alone as stories on their own, then that is ok. Would you be interested in a Halloween themed short story anthology? Yes Is there a limit to the number of books you'd like to receive? Nope Have you read Movies in 15 Minutes by our very own Cleolinda? Would you like to? I haven't but would like to. Those who are amenable to yarnie things--ok, two questions: Any undesirable fibers (wool allergy, vegan so no critter hair at all, etc.)? and how do you feel about cowls/infinity scarves? I am good for any fibre as long as it isn't rough and scratchy, and I would be grateful to receive anything my scarecrow makes for me. Motherhood update: Good Morning London, Plush Viscera- These are both needs, in my opinion lol. So who likes incense? and is there a preferred scent? and cones or sticks? Would you like a burner for it? I would love to burn some incense. And I would take either cones or sticks and a burner would be nice, but not necessary.

First on: This is summer grass, lush and warmed by the sun. Don't get any leather and only catch a hint of smoke at the end of my "sniff", if that makes sense. Really clean and unique. 10 min in: I smell more smoke now, but only when I am up close to it, and still no leather. The grassiness is still dominant, but not overpowering. This is different from anything I currently own, and I am really enjoying it. 20 min in: I have had the man smell it and he says it is very leathery with a green smell to it. I for the life of me, still can't pick up on the leather in it, but I ain't eve mad. I love it, and will definitely need more.

this to me is definitely a medicinal lab oil. This is what you want for a good nights sleep and headache relief. When I sniff it, I can almost taste it on the back of my tongue, it's very aggressive but not in a make you sick way. Wet, it is a well balanced scent of lavender and pennyroyal, which I believe is giving off the medicinal scent as well. Which when applied amps up to smelling like something that my massage therapist smears on me when my muscles are especially bad and the lavender has vanished. I will keep the imp to see if it works for bedtime, and if it does then I know I will need to get a bottle.

So... I seem to be the first person to love it It has a faint flowers in the library smell. Like the flowers are gone but their scent remains with the dustyiness in a grand old forgotten room. It makes me want to keep smelling my wrist. Not a lot of throw, a smell that pulls you in close to have it. And, it makes me want to track down more of the Coraline scents, since this was my first one. It's amazing.

Do you like colouring? I do, very much. I have been colouring long before the adult books came out, but they are a lot of fun as well. I enjoy doing it with pencil crayons, and could use a nice set of those, as currently I have been using whatever ones are in my kids colouring box.. Can you list your wishlists please? I have my bpal wishlist in my sig, and here are the others: Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/people/Witcharoo/favorites/items-for-you Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/people/witcharoo/new_library Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/anitao73/ Those are really the only other sites I purchase from. If you like Lush, are there any UK-only things you're desperate to get? I'm not sure what is UK only, but would be happy to try anything different that they have there. Crochet goodies yes or no? If yes, what kind of goodies? Absolutely, anything made with love from my witch would be awesome. Do you have any allergies to animals/smoke/food etc? I have listed my allergies in my questionnaire, so I would use that as your guideline. Graphic novels: Never read one, but happily would.... Nail Polish? I don't have a specific brand I prefer, and colours are basically sky is the limit. BPTP Products? I am in love with the bath oils, and I want to try some of the bar soaps. I also will happily accept any of their clothing (if it fits me, of course ) Nail Wraps: Sure, i have never tried them so i dont know how i feel about them Teas/Spices/Spice Rubs/Specialty Ingredients from a local tea & spice shop? i would love any of these, just be aware of the allergies listed in my questionnaire In Regards to loose/bagged tea: i would do either happily. Speaking of spices - where's your spicy/heat threshold? (scale of 1 - 10 - 1 being nothing more than black pepper, 10 being ghost pepper+) i would have to say 6-7, possibly 8. i dont mind the heat, but i like to still taste my food and like the flavor that hot sauce brings, but there is no point if i cant taste anything because its all too hot. Preferred book format? Physical, PDF, Kindle, etc? physical please. i do not own an ereader Would you be interested in any handmade critters? Stuffed animals, knit or crochet beasties, or anything remotely similar? If so, please give an example or five YES !!!! i would love any of those things! i like owls, foxes, octopuses, honey badgers, monster dolls, those plushies shaped like germs, sheep, lots more i am sure- this is just off the top of my head. Since this is the Spring Fools' round, is there anything that goes with the theme of April Fool's Day or spring that might be fun to add to your package? Flowers (seeds, real, or handmade) prank-related items, a court jester's cap? Feel free to be creative and crazy with this one! i like foolish and fun things. Quirky, Pet owners - would you like any kind of toy or supply for your pet? My pups isnt so puplike anymore, but she does love treats. She isnt a chewer so that kind of thing isnt for her. But really, you dont have to worry about it as she is fairly spoiled already. lol Geek paraphernalia! Almost everyone here has SOME sort of geek-love, whether it is Harry potter, Horror movies, graphic novels, science, etc. So would you be interested in any kind of items related to your geek-ish interests?G absolutely. i love harry potter, which i think i missed adding in my list of stuff and i like Any yarn, plastic, metal, or fabric sensitivities? nope. would you like pretty stationery/note cards, etc, for writing snail mail? A big yes for this one. i like things of that nature, pens and the like. Any places you would like gift cards from? i like sock dreams, etsy, teefury, those would be nice Do you wear make-up? Any brands you like? Color preferences? I wear do wear make up and am always on the lookout for a super fine tip eyeliner, that doesnt smudge or flake. i like eyeshadows as well and lipsticks in red/darker plums. Junk food and candy? i am trying really hard right now to be a good girl, i have a trip to Mexico in May and i need to pace myself with the treats. Witchee, regarding your fave TV shows, would you be interested in the associated DVDs? Fan books? Sure Do you need any items for your kitchen (linens, gadgets, cooking supplies, etc.)? I could use a really good potato peeler. or whatever reason, I can't ever find one that I like. I have tried a few different kinds and they all seem, meh. so if my Witch has one she love s or even a suggestion for one, that would be awesome. As for other kitchen stuffs, I will happily take more linens, or if my Witch has something specific in mind, it will be accepted gratefully Gardens/plants: I am dreaming of spring, dear witch: Do you like plants? Do you have any? Indoor potted plants? A balcony bed? A yard? Do you want/need anything? I do like plants, and I have a few. They are indoor, and I have managed to keep them alive for quite a while which is a big deal to me. lol so, bring on the green things! If I were to make you something based on one or more interests mentioned in your Q'aire/blog, would you prefer something you could wear, something that hangs on a wall, or something that sits on a shelf (or couch or wherever) ? I would like something that hangs on a wall. I would love the other two too, but right now, some of the walls in my house are a little bare. So to fill up some of that space would be awesome Are you in need of BPAL storage? I do not need anything for storage at this time, but thank you. Do you like candles? Incense? Wax melts? I would happily accept any of these! What style of bag from here (if any) would you like? You can easily narrow down the choices on the side menu - but I only want to know the style, not the pattern! if I had to pick from that site, I would go with their small messemger bags If you like Harry Potter stuff, what house do you belong in? If you like Game of Thrones, what family? I am a Ravenclaw! and I do adore Potter themed stuffs. I haven't watched game of thrones (GASP!), so I don't know where I would fit in with that. BAGS! Do you like/want/need any kind of bags? I love all kinds of bags, right now I am trying to search out the perfect summer/beach bag for a trip I am going on in May. Here's a question. I make handmade journals/albums/smashbooks/junk journals. Would you be interested in anything like that? I think that anything handmade like that would be lovely. They are alot of time and work and truly end up being a work of art, and I appreciate all that the artist puts into them. What's your favorite animal/totem? Would you be interested in a small figurine of said animal from this etsy user? The foxes are amazing but if my Witch spent that kind of money I would have a heart attack!! Anything exciting to you in PBSW's Spring Collection? I think the Crickhollow and Bramble & Apple sound good Witchee, are you interested in this kind of music (it's one of my favorites)? of course, since I asked the question Top 5 hotties in no particular order: 1. Hugh Jackman 2. Ewan Mcgregor 3. David Tenant 4. Jude Law 5. Henry Cavill 6. Alan Rickman 7. Tom Hiddleston 8. Benny Cumberbatch 9. Justin Timberlake 10. Chris Pratt Oh, was it just 5, you say? My bad.. How do you pick just five? first 5 songs on my playlist 1. Never Quit Lovin' You - Jill Barber 2. The Greatest View - Silverchair 3. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived - Weezer 4. Vermillion, pt 2 - Slipknot 5. Build me up buttercup - The Foundations I was thinking about busting out the sculpy clay - I sometimes like to make cute little fantasy miniature sculpture, like fairy doors, or miniature garden gnomes for potted plants, or I've even made a couple of tiny smaug's based on this cartoon. If you were my witchee, how would you feel about receiving some tiny fantasy art for your home? Any preference between a fairy door, or a garden gnome, a tiny fairy box, or something like smaug? A fairy door would be so nice If you won a gift certificate for $100 (Or similar amount in your country) that could be used ANYWHERE what would you get? tricky! I think I would buy fabric though since I have had an itch to sew lately, although some nice yarn would be a good use for it too. Something that you look forward to each spring, or that when you see it (hear it/smell it/taste it, etc) you think "Yes! Spring is here!" or something along those lines! For me it's that earthy smell that happens when the snow melts and everything under it has begun to compost itself and everything just smells... wawrmer. ( I know you can't actually smell "warmer" but in my head this is what I smell. Warmer. lol

All rose, all the time. I guess I can't even do rose water. Boo.

9/17/15 Pumpkin? Yes please, but nothing too spiced pumpkin-y Booze? I love ciders and hard liquor. Want anything from Yellowstone? Be it postcards, key chains, shot glasses, pint glasses, or huckleberry what have you? I would like a sew on badge or patch, as I collect those, and squished pennies would be nice too. huckleberry is good in my book. 9/18/15 I know there is a question about "decorating style", but if you're comfortable, could you should us some photos of your spaces? For those of us who like to art and craft, it can be nice to have a visual sense of decorating style! If my witch would like that, I would be happy to supply it for them 9/19/15 For those of you who don't drink alcohol, can you specify if you live with any drinkers or ever have alcohol on hand for guests, vs. abstaining and preferring not to have it around at all? I have alcohol in my house for personal use and for entertaining, I am fine with it. Are you a fan of the TV show Penny Dreadful? Yes! and to have my own copy of them would be great! What are your coffee and tea preferences? Do you prefer one, the other, both, or neither (and if it's neither, what about things like hot cider and cocoa)? Loose leaf or bags, whole bean or ground? Is caffeine OK? Any gadgetry you're in need of? Any brands or flavors that you particularly love, loathe, or want to try? Caffeine is fine, I don't drink coffee, but do like the occasional yes. I have no preference as to type, loose leaf or prebagged, and I could use a fun little infuser as I don't have one at the moment ( my old one broke). What's your sense of humor like? Do you enjoy puns? Play on words? Dirty humor? Dry humor? Who are some of your favorite comedians? I love to laugh. puns, word play, dirty, dry, bring it all on. I enjoy Kevin Hart, Amy poehler, Russell Peters, Craig Ferguson, Bill Murray, Eddie Izzard, that's enough for now. Do you like board games? If so, which ones? Traditional or more unique? (like Settlers of Catan, Small World, Red Dragon Inn, etc) Yes I enjoy board games, I have never played the ones mentioned though, So maybe I like more traditional? Is there anything that you specifically do NOT want to receive? I can't think of anything. Plain or fun socks? Life is too short for boring socks! Name one (or as many as you would like) thing you would like to learn more about? Not sure, let me think on it. What one thing you would like to do more of? I would like to do more painting. I am a super newbie at it, but keep trying. Also travel. And excercise of any sort.. What are some things that fascinate you? Or, What would you like to know more about? I find nature fascinating. 9/20/15 Would you like any cookie butter (just to be clear, store-bought, not home-made, and does contain wheat since it's, y'know, cookie butter)? No thank you. I cannot have wheat. Is there any particular piece (or pieces) of art (painting, photograph, etc) that speaks to you in some way? I Really enjoy Gustav Klimt's work, as well as John William Waterhouse. I have The Lady of Shallot hanging in my bedroom and a section of Klimt's Water Serpents hanging in my rec room. I also like Leonid Afremov, Edward Gorey, Romero Britto is another one, and my ribcage is scheduled to be covered with Tenniel's images from Alice In Wonderland in November. The art I enjoy is extremely varied. I don't know if it speaks to me until I see it. What kinds of things would you like from the Lilith BPAL or BPTP update (or are you joining a decant circle?) I am not join gin a decent circle at the moment. I would love to try out Catch Me Dad, Once upon a Time (BPTP), Blood and Judgement So Well Condemned, and Walking the Prime Meridian all sound so good. Do you want to received knit or crocheted items? If so, could you describe or even link to a couple of items similar to what you would like to receive? I would love handmade things from my witch, since I am a maker of these things as well. Knitted socks have my utmost respect since I don't like making them, so yeah bring the yarn things on! I am hoping my witchee likes them too. Would you like anything from Lush? I love their Flying Fox, and I would love to try Lord of Misrule as well. I also adore their ocean salt scrub. SPICY! Scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" and 10 being "ghost pepper? scorpion pepper? I laugh at these! I love as much heat as you can throw my way!" Where are you? I go anywhere from 2 to 7. My problem with the super hot ones and that they get so hot there is nothing got taste. I really like the flavor of hot sauces, but it is sometimes over shadowed by the heat. The hot sauce I use on a regular basis is Crystal, but it has more flavour than heat, but I love the stuff. What is your BPAL "Holy Grail"? I am thinking that this is to mean a scent that we have yet to try or tried and have no more of and now to find it would be a great quest. If this is the case, then I would have to say Hairy Toad Lily and Brom Bones. HTL was one of the very first imps I ever received from the lab, and although I didn't wear it a lot, I used it as a room scent. BB because damn, all that leather... Analog or Digital? Or Both? Both please. Kitchen Needs or Wants: I am currently on the hunt for some pretty specific decor like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/245974369/1981-signed-miller-studio-inc-three?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=miller%20studio%20chalkware&ref=sr_gallery_32 As I have different sets of these on my walls in my kitchen, but there is a spot for a couple more. as for gadgetry, I can't think of any that I need, but spices will always find a home in my cupboard as long as they are wheat free. Affinity for specific animals: Well in my questionnaire I said honey badger, but there are more, like owls and foxes, peacocks and dogs, octopuses and sea turtles, skunks and cats. Makeup! Do you like it, would you want some? If so what brands do you like to wear? I am partial to Urban Decay, Besame, and Too Faced. Right now I am still looking for the perfect liquid eyeliner that won't flake, won't smudge and won't wear off after half a day. I don't expect to get it from my witch, but if anyone has suggestions, I would welcome them. I also love a good mascara, nail polish is always welcomed. Chocolate fiends ahoy! What kind of chocolate do you like? Do you like any other things in it or just plain good ole chocolate? I love all chocolate except white chocolate. The only things I don't like in my chocolate are raisins, because I detest raisins. Would you be opposed to receiving a ton of Halloween themed items? Halloween is my favorite, so if my witch wants to load me up with them, that is fine by me. And if s/he doesn't want to load me up with them, that is fine by me as well. S/he can do whatever s/he wants because s/he is awesome Bat Conservation? OH yes please! I collect patches like the scout patches they have up in the shirt section, but I also love the shirt. Fiona Reid's artwork is beautiful, and I have always admired Cannon's books. What items from the Weenie update interest you, should you have to option of getting anything as a gift from your Witch??? Would you be ok with decants, or bottles? The question should be which ones DON'T interest you? Magnificent Autumn October (my bday month!) ALL of the Dead Leaves set Apple I Bonfire A Phantasmagoria; Scene- Conjuring up an Armed Skeleton Depart Pour Le Sabbat The Magic Circle The Witch and The Mandrake A Holyman Advises a Woman... Pan Twardowski and The Devil And then there is the LIlith Update as well... Blood and Judgement so Well Condemned Walking The Prime Meridian Catch Me Dad (BPTP) Bottles or imps are equally fine and My witch is under ZERO pressure to ensure that any of these get to me. What's your favorite scary movie? Well, scary (that I wouldn't let my younger children see) would be The Others, Pan's Labyrinth, and ones they MIGHT be able to watch would be Sleepy Hollow and Van Helsing. Ones they could FOR SURE watch would be Coraline, The Corpse Bride, Monster House, and HOtel Trannsylvania. We are actually going the Sunday to see Hotel Trannsylvania 2, my kids really want to see it. Blu-Ray or DVD? DVD Game systems - console or computer? Mac/PC? Which console? I have a mac and a wii and a ps3 Talk to me about bags, what kinds do you like? Sizes and styles? I am always on the look out for the perfect bag, which I have yet to find. I need something can be converted to crossbody and still be able just to hang from my elbow, and I have yet to find the perfect size with anything I have bought so far. I think the perfect size is somewhere in the vicinity of a foot wide and 8 inches high, I think, lol. I am always pinning purses on pinterest or on etsy, but haven't pulled the trigger on any of them due to funds. I like a zipper close, because I am chronically just tossing my bag into the car and have stuff out of it because of that. I like at least one inside pocket and pockets on the outside are optional, but again they need to be able to close well. I am up for almost any colour and patterns are also fine, but I don't like the quilted ones of vera bradley, they just aren't me. I like unique purses, for example my purse right now is a small little thing (too small, in fact), it's a hard kind of vinyl and is black with big white polkadots on it. The one previous to that was covered in dancing day of the dead skeletons (but it was too big). I really like the retro looking ones, but most can't be converted. But if you want to stay away from purses I can always use a good tote bag. Holy Crap I am a bit picky about my purses aren't i??? The Last Huzzah of the NY Renaissance Faire happens this weekend and I'm going! Is there anything you might want? (Besides a turkey leg, which won't ship well!) I go to Ren Faires quite regularly, but I have never been to the NY one! So maybe something like a patch if they have them or a pottery shotglass if they have those as well with the name on it? Or anything you think I might like, the crafters and vendors would all be different so pick away Do you like comics or graphic novels? Any issues or collections you want to read? I like comics but nothing that I follow or collect. Do you like fanfic? Would you like a story written for you as part of your gift? What characters/fandoms/pairings etc do you like? I always think about reading ito fanfics but then get distracted by other reading stuffs. That said, though, if my Witch wants to write me something I would happily read it. Where do you have wishlists at? If you could please link to them or to a post that links to them. (Amazon, Etsy, Think Geek, Pinterest, Sephora, Lush, BPAL/BPTP, Soap Box Company, everywhere and anywhere!) I am usually good at updating these Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/people/Witcharoo/favorites/items-i-love?ref=favs_index_1 Sockdreams : http://www.sockdreams.com/_users/wishlists/64647964795ad23 Pin Up Girl Clothing: https://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/wishlist/index/index/wishlist_id/30642/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/anitao73/ Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/people/witcharoo/favorites?bundles=0 Another website I visit alot is The Missouri Star Quilt COmpany, but they don't have a wishlist feature on their site. BPAL/BPTP: I always have something good in my wishlist which is in my signature, and I have answered about the new updates above. Let's say you have indicated interest in receiving a hand knitted item. What colors, exactly, do you like? If you could provide color swatches here or to pinterest (or something visual), that would help out a lot. Jewel tones and black, charcoal greys, those are all safe bets. Would you rather receive a bunch of little packages through the round, a couple of medium packages, or one big package at the end? I refuse to tell my witch how to run the show! I know she will do her best however she plays it and I trust her/him. If/when you go to the mall, for which store(s) do you beeline? I usually check out Sephora, Le Chateau, Victoria's secret, Yankee Candle, I don't get to the mall much so I can't remember more. Do you receive any subscription boxes (julep, lootcrate, ipsy, birchbox, etc.)? No I don't. For those of us with out-of-country Witchees, would you be happy with receiving a few packages from local to you merchants (say, through Etsy or equivalent)? Sure if that’s how my witch wants to roll J Would Witchees like something from IKEA? (Or any other not always accessible by everyone store?) I love ikea. Do you like tarts/candles/incense? If so, what type of scents?. I don’t like ones that smell like dryer sheets, and I don’t like ones that smell like just fruit, but if they are together, for example I like lemon and lavender, citrus and sage ( both of those are from yankee candle), cranberry and pear. I also like smoky, mucky, patchouli based, sandalwood scents. I use tarts and candles mostly, but a while back I was on a big incense kick, and wouldn’t mind getting any of these smelly things! Is there anything you wish you could have picked up from the Dragon*Con exclusives? Arizona v united states, peach XI and peach XIV Is there a GC you've been dying to try but haven't got around to yet?Dee has always intrigued me. The questionnaire asked about gold & silver jewelry, but how do you feel about copper jewelry? Do you like colorful jewelry, or do you prefer to keep it neutral?I enjoy copper jewellery and it can be colorful for sure. We asked about decorating style, but are you interested in receiving decorations for your home? Are you interested in things that go on the wall or things that go on shelves?Things to go on my walls are appreciated. Office supplies hound? Pens, pencils, journals, any preference, or favorites? I love stationary. Talk to me about socks! Is there anything, dear, dear Witchee, that I can get for you from Sock Dreams? Anything from another place? I have a wishlist for socks at sockdreams and here is the link http://www.sockdreams.com/_users/wishlists/64647964795ad23 I live near a huuuuge candy store. What kind of candy do you like? Gummies? Caramel? Chocolate? Sour? Sugar-free? I love dark chocolate and honey sticks, I also like caramel and sugar free. How do you feel about animal products? Not so much animal toys or food, but more like furs, paws, bones, etc. I am good with it. Are you interested in receiving any restaurant.com gift certificates for your area? I live in Canada so I don’t know that these apply. How do you feel about "toys" - stuffed animals and the like? Sure. Did you see the eclipse last night? How do you feel about astrological events, like eclipses? Any interest in the Blood Moon Eclipse scent from BPAL? I wouldn't mind a decant, the pomegrante makes me nervous about it but all the other scents are a go. Witchee's, how tall are you? And perhaps, what's your arm span (from wrist to wrist)? I am 5' 3" and I just measured my arm span is 53.5". I am not an ape, I promise.. How do you feel about the 4 elements? Or are you more of an Asian 5 elements person? Do you feel strongly about any of the elements, like a connection or a preference? I feel that all four elements How do you feel about bento boxes? Is it something you would use if you were to get one? So I googled Bento boxes, I mean I already had an idea what they were but wanted to confirm, and most of the images I looked at were just trays with rice sculptures in them. I am assuming the question is for the container, not the contents I saw, so I will say if my witch wants to send me one, she can send me one. Scarves, shawls or cowls? Mittens, gloves, fingerless mitts or wristlets? I have a ravelry wishlist that is earlier up in this blog, I have most of the above mentioned things on my favorites list how do you feel about online classes? Like, say, craftsy or creativebug? Or even lynda.com? I would love to as I check out craftsy all the time. What do we want from Paintbox Soapworks? Indian summer, Beet it, The Englishman, fusilia, Mandinka, Crimson and Clover, whiskers and either scrub or hand lotion please. If I were to make you some art, would you prefer a frame that hangs or one that sits? And what color/style would you prefer? Hanging please. and I like brights and jewel tones, also black and white sketchwork if that is what my witch chooses. How do you feel about gourmet marshmallows? no thank you. Are you a slatherer or a dabber? I am a dabber, and rarely a slatherer. Is there anything from ThinkGeek that you want? ALOT villainess update: I have never tried anything from Villainess, so I checked out the website and their bar soaps sound nice (fireleaf and saltleaf sound really nice)- I'm more of a scrub person though, and although the base of them sounds good, none of their current scents called my name. How does everyone feel about duct tape crafts? Any favorite patterns? I don’t think duct tape patterns are for me, but thank you! Are there any flowers you especially like? Are there!! I love roses, and dahlias. I also love lavender (do we still consider that a flower or a herb?) Would you be interested in any cozies or cases (yarn o fabric, not hard cases) for tech stuff (phone, laptop' etc) or for cups/mugs/bottles or anything else similar? I am pretty deadly with my tech stuff so I need nice hard cases for it, but I am not against a cozie for my teapot J Would you like Halloween or Day of the Dead themed ornaments or a "bunting"? I do love day of the dead themed things, and bunting would be great too! Are there witchees who would like book related gifts like a booklight, bookmark, bookseat or something for your reading gadget,like a cover or a light for example. I had to google what a bookseat is, and they look really handy. I make handmade journals, mini albums and similar items. Would my witchee be interested in something like that? This witchee would be. Handmade books are definitely an art form! What songs/music/artists/CD's do you like to listen to around Halloween? The same stuff I listen to year round, nothing special just for this season, I am afraid. Are you interested in leg warmers at all? No thank you, I have enough of those. Is your Halloween style scary, cutesy, folksy, grotesque . . .? It’s a little spooky,not overly so because of smaller children in my house, but it’s not cutesy, and it’s not folksy and it’s not grotesque so I don’t know how else to describe it. Have you read The Martian? Or do you plan on watching the movie? I have not read the book, but I may, and the movie looks good enough, but I will probably wait until it is released for home viewing. Pertaining to that, how does everyone feel about such things? Will anyone be participating? How about NaNo swag, is there any you want? I have often thought about participating, but I am always afraid that real like will get in the way and I will fail myself by not getting what I want to get done, done. As for the swag, the Nanoland Chronicles seem cute. Honey or beeswax products? Discuss. I love both honey and beeswax. How do you feel about bumper stickers and car magnets? What do you like--cute, pretty, snarky, geeky/fandomy? I have had a couple of magnets, but people have stolen them. I would do stickers, but I don’t know that I would stick them on my car. I like fandom-y or snarky. Do you have any phobia's that your Witch should be aware of? Nope Trading Post Weenies are live! Anything calling to you? The atmo sprays October, On Halloween would be top picks and Home with a Pumpkin Light sounds really interesting too. Are there any DISCONTINUED (not LE) BPAL oils that you wish you had, or had a little more of? I would like to smell Hairy Toad Lily again. And Antique Lace just goes without saying. Anything I could use more of? I am always and forever in need of pony o's and bobby pins. Marmite? No thank you. Used nail polish? As someone else said, if it is in good shape and only used a couple of times, that's fine. Jam berry? I have never tried them, they look interesting.

I meant to post with my 13 nights questions here, but will definitely do for Switch Witch 2015- my nose has changed a little from the last that I posted here so wanted to be clear from the start
