Coo coo chachoo!
 

Omg so much condiments x_xa

October 20th   Do you need any winter wear, witchee?   Scarves and mittens/gloves, and hats always welcome   I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it?   Yessss. I wish. >< /sigh   Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have?   No black or white, neon or pastels.     October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read?   Sometimes. I absolutely loved things like the fear street and christopher pike books as well as the “scary stories to tell in the dark” as a child. Now-a-days I lean more towards supernatural horror, or mystery suspense than pure horror.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?   Not I said the cat. Cool, good cause, but not for me. I have way more black lace than I need haha.   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?   Ah, my mind is not creative in this way. …Dunno.   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?   Zombie sounds kinda cool… Widow maybe, even though I hate spideys. Pumpkin bear sounds kinda nice. I’m not *drawn* to anything, but those are neat.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?   I’d really love to try the beaver moon this round.   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on?   Candy apple lolipops. Mike and Ike’s. Rittersport. Toblerone. Swedish fish.   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie?   Mmm. I love all kinds of cookies. I REALLY love the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies at Potbelly’s. My husband luffs white chocolate macadamia nut.   How many boxes are you hoping for?   As many as my witch deems needed  I care more about my witch’s care for me than stuff amounts.   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out?   I don’t have a tea ball, is my only drawback. Otherwise, sure, as long as handled cleanly.   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like?   This is neat… though I’m not really a ‘quote’ person. /shrug.   October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?   Alas, NYCC has passed.   The best thing I ever ate...:   Oh. Hard pressed. There are many things. Way too many things. But I really loved the roast beef and yorkshire pudding my stepfather used to make. Oh and mac’n’cheese of course. Any really (non velveeta) mac’n’cheese.   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like?   No. Please, goodness, no. At least not anything related to black liquorice.   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for?   Not I.   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get?   Oh sure :3. I’m open!   October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?)   Hrm. Not that I can think… of?   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo?   No DSLR here.   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography?   Unfortunately, no.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what?   I sing in my church’s choir and used to play flute (but no longer do the latter.)   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies?   Not really.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?   Thow/light blanket for the house, hand towels, salt and pepper shaker…   Tarot   I’d like to have a reading done… but I can’t/don’t know how to do it, if that’s what the question is.   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.   Doing horror/special effects makeup. It is the only form of creativity besides writing that I actually do okay at. It allows me to take something and make it into something else. It is like magic.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?   Ehhh? What is MMU? However, from the vendor, the portals eyeshadow is awesome… and the 10 man raid! I’d love that… Actually is all pretty legit.   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn?   Oh yeah that’s neat—and the flavors look fun.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???   Cute. Maybe some of the geekier stuffs.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?     What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?   Wicked and Zombie knee highs nom.   Luck charms?   I have none, but I could always use luck.   Does anyone want anything from... here...?   Yum, everything   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?   Can’t use candles  or incense or tarts.   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere?   As long as there isn’t nickle involved, ya! Is quite prettyful.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?   Pan’s Labyrinth. New Sweeny Todd. Lots of other stuff x_x.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?   Maroon 5’s “misery”.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?   Rare? Hm. No. I don’t think so.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?   Not really.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there?   I have never tried lush. Maybe something lotiony.   if you were my witchee, would you want some candied walnuts?   I prefer candied almonds or pecans, but I have never tried them—so yes.       October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?   Hrm. I have only been skimming the thread.   Reveal?   Yes please?   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?   Definitely interested in trying it.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try?   Oh yes   September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update?   I think I missed this?   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?   Decant maybe?   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?   Light throw, lip balm, recipes.   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?   Unwaxed hemp gives me a rash, but waxed is okay.   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could?   Woman’s Day >_>   Describe your sense of humour.   Dark, sometimes violent, misunderstood, sardonic, sarcastic, almost bitter. Occasionally little blips of cheerful.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?)   Alas, I need the real grocery bags to scoop cat poo.   I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee?   Bee stung lip stuff. Makes lips fuller.   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?   Cross body, bright and bold. Any cloth/material that is nonitchy.   julep maven monthly boxes:   Wha?   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   Yes of course.   Like commercial socks?   Eh?   What kind of bear is best?   Polar.   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus?   Yes! Seems very popular hereabouts.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses?   Never tried o_O   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?   What >_>   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork?   Eh?   Do you drink wine?   Yes please.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!   Maybe my revealing. I’m awful shy.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???   They were nice, but nothing I *had* to have.   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that?   Ohhh. Maybe caramel apple.   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?   Yesssss. The Guild, Buffy and D&D. Many. All. Many.   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?   Naw.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?   Clove cigarette, Salted caramel.

Bottle List

The stuff I wear very rarely or is on the swap list: (Mind you, some of it I wear rarely, but when I wear it I love it.

It's so etherial that I feel like wearing it on non-special days is abusing it. Eat Me and BB are my most commonly worn things.

I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like? That would be great! There is a huge blank space in my stairwell that is meant for two big poster-sized things.

Switch Witch catch-up questions September 30-October 13

September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? I already snapped up all I could get. Unfortunately, I missed out on the Corsair soap and the Witchery solid perfume, but that’s life. And hopefully I’ll be able to get the Corsair soap at the next Haunt update!   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? It sounds like it could be nice, if it truly does smell like a crisp Halloween night, but those types of scents never seem to live up to their description on my skin.   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? 1. Some bars of Corsair soap. I missed out during the Haunt sale. I had 5 bars in my cart, and when I went to check out, they were no longer available. Argh! And I didn't even get near the Lavender Marshmallow whipped butter my cousin wanted me to order for her - it was only the 2nd thing I tried to put in my cart, and it was already unavailable. 2. Fudge! 3. A cute amigurumi. (Sorry, I know technically I have mentioned the last two in this thread or in my answers already, but I couldn't think of anything new right now! ) And really, I'd be excited to get anything! A surprise card or a gift for no occasion, right out of the blue - what could be better?!?   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I'm not a fan, especially not of hemp jewelry.   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? Not that I can think of. I'm going to have to hit up Barnes & Noble instead of Borders to get Gothic Beauty from now on, but at least I can still find it.   Describe your sense of humour. Mostly sarcastic. I also derive a fair amount of humour from exaggerating the down side of things – my cousin and I can go for hours laughing hysterically about how much our lives suck. I find that optimistic sorts of people and those who always want to look on the bright side really don’t appreciate that side of my sense of humour. They mistake it for being depressing, when it’s the exact opposite for me. According to that test that was linked, I fall into “The Wit” category, with 52% dark, 27% spontaneous, and 11% vulgar. But since in many cases I was choosing the least un-funny option out of a bunch of bad options, I can’t really say much good about that test.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) Yes! I use reusable bags all the time when shopping – I have a pile of them in my car. I’d love a bag that I could fold up small enough to store in my purse, or a mesh bag for fruit or veggies.   I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? I think all the Sephora things I’m most interested in are already on one of my Amazon wishlists. But I wouldn’t want my witch to worry about tacking stuff for me on to an order, because I’m probably going to go ahead and pick up what I want at the next Sephora Friends & Family sale.   October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?   Reveal? I’m planning to; I just hope my witchee won’t be disappointed with me! And I hope that my witch reveals, too, because my witch seems really cool and I’d like to know who s/he is!   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? I’ve been toying with the idea of ordering it, more because I support the cause than because I need another patchouli-heavy blend. I was going to order a bottle for me and one for my witchee, but since it turns out that my witchee doesn’t need it, I haven’t done anything about getting my own bottle yet.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I already have more hand and body creams than I’ll ever be able to use up!   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? I saw the Oh No… Zombies! board game at a local store and was very interested, but passed on buying it because I can’t imagine having much luck trying to get anyone to play it with me. I need to make some friends who think it would be fun to play board games about surviving zombies! The same store also had the octopus mug, which was kind of cute. The Cthulhu water bottle looks kind of cool, as do the Cthulhu mints and Death mints. I have two of the Bone Chillers ice cube trays, and I like those a lot. I guess I like the items I can actually use, and I’m not really too excited about the silly little knick-knack-y or kitschy/tacky sorts of items that would just sit around and gather dust.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? I haven’t looked so that I won’t be tempted to add a new obsession to my already lengthy list of obsessions!   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? Again, I haven’t looked so I won’t be tempted.   Luck charms? I don’t really carry around any lucky charms, but I’m not opposed to them. I do have a Minneapolis bus token from my first solo vacation, to remind me that I can overcome my intimidation and shyness and do things on my own and have a great time, but I don’t really carry it around with me – I used to wear it on a chain sometimes, but now it mostly just sits in my jewelry box instead. Of course, I love maneki neko / lucky cats and have about half-a-dozen of them scattered around my house.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I tend not to buy Yankee Candles, because I prefer to buy from independent sellers or smaller businesses, but I don’t have anything against them. I’d always choose candles over tarts, because they’re easier for me to use, but I do have a tart burner if needed.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? I guess if I wanted it terribly badly I’d have already bought it, but I’d really love to own Hal Hartley’s “Trust.” I have it on VHS, but I’d really like to get it on DVD eventually.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Nope. I have a fair amount of money in my iTunes account thanks to gift cards from family, so whenever I want something, I just go ahead and download it right away.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? I’d like to get volume 1 of the Robert Bloch trilogy (“The Lost Bloch”) that Subterranean Press put out a number of years ago (it’s on my Amazon wishlist), but I’ve managed to live without it so far, so going without for a few more years won’t hurt me.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Not that I can think of.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I’m not really a Lush fan, so I haven’t bothered to look.   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? No thank you, I don’t really like walnuts. I like cinnamon almonds quite a lot, but don’t really eat any other candied nuts.   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? I do! I have three collector Barbies: Autumn in Paris Barbie; Barbie and The Tale of Peter Rabbit; and Romantic Interlude Barbie, because at the time I just couldn’t resist the outfits. I still love them, but I don’t really have a place to display them, so they’re tucked away in drawers in the spare bedroom. Being that that’s the case, I don’t shop for any more, but if I saw the Barbie as Athena at a decent price somewhere (highly unlikely, since the original price is listed as $100! ), I might not be able to resist picking that one up, too.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? Nothing comes to mind – I guess that’s why I keep forgetting! I try to write things down on a shopping list as I remember them, so I can pick them up on my next shopping trip.   Tarot I like tarot decks! I don’t read tarot cards, although I’d like to learn how to some day, so right now I just collect decks for the pictures or because they were gifts. I have the Halloween Tarot set, two different manga tarot decks (Llewellyn’s and Selena Lin’s), and a Vampire Knight tarot entirely in Japanese. I also have some Oracle decks: Lucy Cavendish’s Oracle of Shadows & Light illustrated by Jasmin Becket-Griffith; Lucy’s Magical Spell cards deck; and Doreen Virtue’s Messages From Your Angels and Goddess Guidance decks. I’d like to get the Necronomicon Tarot deck someday. I like the idea of having someone do a general tarot reading for me, too. I don’t really have any particular questions I need answered, but if someone could do just a very general reading for me, I think that’d be fun. I have a good friend who does card and psychic readings as a business, but I always feel weird thinking about asking her to do one for me, both because she knows me so well and because it’s a business for her, not a hobby.   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I like so many things, and for so many reasons! I can’t think of one in particular to talk about!   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? My standard answer – I didn’t look because I don’t want to be tempted!   Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn? None of their flavors really grab my interest.   October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) I think I’ve already mentioned most of the crafty stuff I’d be interested in. If you have access to any cool or cute cross-stitch patterns, I’d be happy to get a copy, or if you’re good with a craft knife, I’d love some glass etching stencils. (Right now I’m using craft punches on clear ConTact paper to make stencils, so it’d be really nice to get something that would let me create a slightly more elaborate design!)   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? Nope.     Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? My beloved film camera recently gave up the ghost, so I guess I’m stuck moving to digital for now. If I ever had oodles of extra money, I’d probably get a really good film camera with a great telephoto lens for photographing wildlife, but for now, I’ll be content with my little digital camera, so no, I don’t need any film photography supplies.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? No, unfortunately. I love music, but I have absolutely no aptitude for it.   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? I do like liquorice! I just finished off a bag of Panda soft black liquorice, and it was delicious. I used to love Switzer’s black and red licorices, but haven’t been able to get it for decades now. I did some searching a year or so back and found out that they’ve brought it back in some areas, but apparently the new stuff is nowhere near the old version, so I haven’t even bothered to try to get some. I don’t like the salty versions at all. I like all sorts of cute shapes, but since the shaped ones are usually hard, they never taste as good as they look.   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I have a desktop Mac with the basic accessories, and I don’t really need anything else. I mostly only use my personal computer for email, Internet shopping, and surfing the Web, so I’m already all set for that.   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? Not really. If I’m going to take the time to listen to something, it’s going to be music, not a book.   October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? I didn’t even look because I didn’t want to be disappointed that I wasn’t going.   The best thing I ever ate...: I couldn’t possibly answer this. My memory doesn’t hold on to things like that, unfortunately. I have good short-term memory that let me do very well on tests when I was in school, but once the test was over, I never could retain the information. I think it’s only gotten worse over the years, too. I just don’t retain things long-term, and things all blur together in my mind over time.   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie? My favorite kind depends on my mood at the time, but I like snickerdoodles, plain oatmeal (no raisins, no chocolate chips, etc.), peanut butter, and chocolate chip.   How many boxes are you hoping for? I was hoping to be lucky enough to get something mid-way through in addition to something at the end, and since I’ve already gotten two packages, I’ve already gotten more than I was hoping for! Thank you, my Witch!   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? I’d be fine with that!   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like? I can’t really think of any quote dear enough to me that I’d want a poster of it.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? I’d like to know what Romanti Goth smells like, but it’s already way too expensive for something that I don’t already know that I love. Same thing with Needlework and Gun Moll. I’d like to have some Hanami just for the name, but again, without knowing in advance how I’d like the scent, I would never bid on it. Everything else I’d be interested in I already have. Midway is one of my top 5 BPALs, but since I already have a couple of back-up bottles of that one, I’ll leave it for someone else   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? I can’t think of any favorite songs that I can imagine translating into scent. One of my very favorite songs is Senses Fail’s “Let It Enfold You” (please don’t judge! ), but I don’t really see much in the song that lends itself to becoming a nice scent.   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update? I haven’t even looked.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? Batty, because I love bats! And I’d like to be able to get just an imp or half-imp of Lady Death: Savage and Halloween: Montreal, just to see what they’re like.   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on? Cadbury dairy milk bars, Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins, a couple of Peppermint Batties, Brach’s Milk Maid caramel apple candy corn, and maybe some Smarties or SweeTarts or Chuckles.

And again, Autumn SW '11

October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read?   Not really, no.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?   Nothing reasonable, that's for frickin' sure.   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?   California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas (brown leaves, the heavy scent of rain, a little church incense and dust, and under all of it something warm and clean/comforting).   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?   Nope.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?   Nope.   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on?   Andes mints. 13 packages of them, apparently.   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie?   Triple chocolate. My fiance makes them sometimes. I call them orgasm cookies.   How many boxes are you hoping for?   However many you send me.   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out?   I do like tea.   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like?   That would be awesome.   Um   Favorite quote.   I have some, but it's hard to remember them on demand.     October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?   Nah.   The best thing I ever ate...:   Oh, god. The first time I had Daniel (my fiance)'s roast chicken with the potatoes that sit under the chicken as it roasts and get covered in chicken fat. SO AMAZING. SO TERRIBLE FOR YOU.   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like?   I like black licorice. I had no idea it came in so many choices.   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for?   I have a mac that I use for stuff at home. If I ended up with accessories, that would be cool. But I'm a bit "eh" about it -- like, at some point I'll probably get a mouse but ....   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get?   I do like them, I really liked John Hodgeman's More Information Than You Require and the sequel. He did them so well for audiobooks. So, um, anything similar, I suppose.   October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?)   YOU GOT ME ROVING, I LOVE YOU.   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo?   I do. I have no camera strap, so I'd be down with whatever. But nothing else, really.   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography?   Not anymore. I'm making the transition. Painfully. Don't tempt me. (But ask me about the super cool camera I found for $15 in a thrift shop that is 75 years old AND STILL WORKS.)   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what?   Nope. I love singing, I do not do it well. But I do it a lot anyway.

Eight schemes to get a Lace wedding dress

Eight schemes to get a cheap wedding dress Getting a lace wedding dress can be a possibility. You do not have to resign yourself to paying the full retail price to get the wedding dress of your dreams. With some planning, time and creativity, you can get exactly the dress you desire at a nice discount. Here are some ideas that will get you started, and these ideas will teach you how to get a cheap wedding dress.   1 Shop early and often. Sometimes by shopping off-season you can get quite a long wedding dresses for discount, regardless of designer because they are trying to make room for the new fashions of the upcoming bridal season.   2 Buy a discounted or last season cheap wedding dress that is close to what you hope for, even if it is a little big. Simply have alterations done to change it. You can also add sequins, train, weights, and more to put the finishing touches on the dress that will be uniquely yours.   3 Visit vintage bridal shops and thrift stores. These often have several different short wedding dresses in stock and ready to go at deeply discounted prices. Just make sure there are little or no defects.   4 Go to annual bridal sales at your local stores. These can be very busy and hectic, drawing huge crowds. Arrive early, and bring help with you. Stay informed of these sales using advertising fliers from newspapers, the internet and TV commercials. These sales are often held at a specific time of year.   5 Consider shopping at outlet stores of major retailers. These are often separate from the malls, and these are usually located within outlet malls or basements of mall stores. You may walk away with a generous cheap wedding dress.   6 Shop rummage sales. Try the dress on before you buy it, if possible. Often dresses advertised here have never been worn, or the dresses show no evidence of wear. Be sure to try the dress on for fit. If it does not fit properly, make sure alterations can be done.   7 Look online and let your fingers do the walking for a short wedding dress. Always make sure that you can return it with no questions asked if you choose an online purchase. This will be more difficult, but it could result in a substantial discount on even a designer wedding dress.   8 Purchase your other bridal needs such as dresses and tuxedos at the same store. Some bridal stores will offer discounts if you purchase several items from them at once.

How to Choose taffeta Long Red Prom Dress

In a generally way, if you are intending to formal occasions, it is obvious how the long style is the best choice which is an easy task to show off your elegant and feminine side. However, it’s going to outshine a petite girl due to the length that it is advisable for medium to tall women to opt for the sex prom dress.   Long strapless gown in splendid orange colour is looking really very pretty. It’s a flowing gown where the designer has used matching beads as its design element on the banded waist portion of the dress to give it an extra feel. main fabric:Chiffon   Also be sure you know what your school or your date’s school will approve of in a long prom dress. There are some schools that have a dress code even for prom so make sure you conform to that dress code or you will not be allowed to go in to prom. Some schools do not allow dresses to have slits above a certain height and some will not let a neckline get to low. Make sure you check so you know what to look for in a dress   Sarah by no means has any less ambition now that she has graduated, Prom Dresses is perfectly content to follow in her father footsteps by staying in the farming business. "I've just always liked it. It is not something I know how to explain."

Halloween 2011 - answers for my Witch! - Part The Second

October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? I loathe liquorice flavoured candy. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I use a PC.   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? Not huge on audiobooks, although they’re pretty neat. If you’d like to send me one, then why not? Surprise me!   [u ][b]October 5th[/b] [/u] Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) Not that I can think of. Alas, my tastes run to champagne on a beer budget...   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? No DSLR.   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? Nope.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? I used to play the piano, flute, and tuba. Now I just sing in church.   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? I admit, I had a yen for these when I was in my twenties - and still do! I don’t mind ball-jointed-dolls, either.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? ...I can’t remember. This is why I haven’t gotten them yet. Oh, egg rings? *laughs*   Tarot I don’t do tarot, but there’s a part of me that would love a pack if the art on them was good!   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I like playing hockey (field hockey) because it’s a team sport, I can be competitive and aggressive, and yet I can gear back and just have fun too! And the women I play with are awesome and it keeps me fit!   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? Not an MMU type of witchee.   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? Oh, why not?   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???

I rather like the Yankee Candles! And I prefer candles to tarts! I have several tarts that were gifted to me in previous Witching Rounds, but I have nothing to melt them in!   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? Oh yes!   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Captain America. Because it’s adorable.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Nope.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? Nope.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Nope.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? Don’t follow Lush updates.   if you were my witchee, would you want some candied walnuts? Oh man, YES!   October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread? Not that I can think of!   Reveal? Yes, please! My last two Witches didn’t reveal themselves (at least, not that I could find in their letters/cards) and I would have liked to get to know them better.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Not really.

Switch Witch Q&A Fall 2011, PART II.

Started up Switch Witch Answers PART II here! Also now to my Witch you don't have to get me anything I mention here really. I simply answer the questions in case it helps give you a better idea of me and what I like and in case any of the questions are yours! You seem to have a master plan already and I would love to see how it all unfolds. Also. YOU ARE AWESOME.   October 20th   Do you need any winter wear, witchee? Not particularly, but I always love socks and fingerless gloves, gloves, mittens, very large cowls, and capes! Winter is my favorite time of the year   I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it? Not at all desperate. Do not even want it! I try to keep away from things that are too exclusive.   Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? Hmmmm. Well. I love a LOT of colors and honestly if you are curious just check out my Pinterest for color schemes I love (probably under the What I Would Wear board) but some combinations that I don't really love would be more watery cool kind of combinations? I love winter color schemes and anything rich and almost velvety in color. Autumn colors are pretty spectacular.   October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? I do like scary books! I love Chuck Palahniuk so of course I have read Haunted, so creepy and disturbing...   So I was at Uwajimaya the other day and saw Earl Grey Tea Chocolate and Cinnamon Chocolate. If you were my Witchee, would you be interested in trying something like that? Earl Grey Tea Chocolate sounds AMAZING.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? No thank you.   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? Oh wow. Hmmmm. Here are a few…   A Waltz for a Night - Julie Delpie Postcards From Italy - Beirut Storm - The Bloody Beetroots Ferraby Lionheart - Pocketknife I Love How You Love Me (Live) - Neutral Milk Hotel   SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update? Widow seems really awesome! I don't think I need a bottle or anything though.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? Just Halloween: Montreal and I already have a bottle of that now!   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on? Swedish Fish, Almond Joy, Cookies and Cream Hersheys, Kit Kats, Payday.   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie? What an interesting question. Well the cookies you sent me dear Witch were amazing and pretty spot on if you ask me. I also really like white chocolate in cookies along with healthy ingredients. But seriously the cookies you sent me were AMAZING.   How many boxes are you hoping for? However many my Witch sends! I have gotten so much great stuff already! Socks, cookies, perfume etc. I'm already quite happy I plan on sending off 4 total probably (three small and one large).   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? That would be awesome. I love tea in all shapes and forms   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like? Awesome freaking possum. This is my question so I won't bother answering more than this.   the Lab on eBay? No thank you.   VApothecary? The update sounds interesting. Howl, Vaccine, and Widow sound interesting.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? No thank you.   October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? No thank you.   The best thing I ever ate...: Ummm…. Wow… Probably this amazing Turkish delight I had this past summer. I love plain Turkish delight that is rose flavored. Have I mentioned I love rose and violet flavored things? YEP. Big fan.   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? No thanks.   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I have a 15' Macbook Pro unibody (I think that is what it is called). I use my computer for Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCAD, Rhino, and V-Ray. Mainly used for architecture stuff and surfing the web along with school things.   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? Audiobooks for Thomas Pynchon novels would be pretty cool.   October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet?

Baked goods and crocheted or knitted things and even your own personal artwork would be love.   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? OMG. I just discovered photojojo and I USE PHOTOSHOP A LOT for school stuff and would love http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/photo-app-keyboards/ for the black keyboard for my mac laptop for photoshop. I also think I would like an Instax Mini but that is expensive so don't worry about it!   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? YES. I own a Diana+ and love love it so film for that would be welcome. I also really want a holga. I also have a Polaroid Land Camera so film for that would also be cool.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? I WISH. I want to learn to play the Ukulele.   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? No thanks.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? Nothing I can think of.   Tarot No thanks.   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I like crocheting because it is something I can do with my hands and incorporate bright colors, pattern, soft yarn, and it takes up time and keeps me busy and WARM.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? I have way to much make up so no thank you.   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? No thanks.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???

The red velvet, pumpkin, white velvet, lemon sugar, strawberry cream cookiewiches sound lovely.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I can't burn candles in my dorm but I would love something pumpkin scented and I prefer jar candles.   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? Custom or not I would love one!

Brown sugar candied walnuts sound awesome.   October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread? Paintbox Soapworks and Villainess Smack!   Reveal? I plan on it and would like my Witch to do so as well so I can thank her for her awesomeness!   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Sounds really awesome!   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Yes! I'm also interested in a lot of their soaps which I have favorites on Etsy!   September 30   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? Haunt stuff seems difficult to get a hold of so don't worry about it!   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? I'm actually pretty interested. It sounds really wonderful!   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? Season 4 of Supernatural, J. Herbin ink from JetPens, a charm for my charm bracelet.   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?

I suppose a little bit!   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? Not really!   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? No thanks!   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?

Quite a few, but none of them are in Nola.   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? That french candy that Meagank4 got for me…. was amazing….. I want moorreee.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? The doctor who season just ended and I haven't watched one bit of it! Oh no!   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Nope.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? That looks amazing… Dark chocolate with…lavender, crystallized rose petals, melon dices White chocolate with…crushed peppermint candy, crystalized rose petals Dark chocolate with… cayenne pepper, crushed peppermint candy   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? ?   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?

Not particularly, but I wear Alice and Wulric to bed all the time.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? Not particularly.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yay, more so the book. But I guess I wouldn't want anything PB related.   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches? I've been particularly drawn to The Twelve Dancing Princesses (I own Danced to Pieces by Arcana and mainly bought it for the fairy tale connection but I also LOVE that perfume), Hansel and Gretel, and Ivanushka.   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I mean pretty good I guess. It IS ethical!   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? No thank you!   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Peg-leg trousers, oversized long sleeve shirt tucked in, undergarmets, bare-foot!   Kerchiefs? No thanks.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Play around with watercolors, read for FUN and not for school, and watch Heroes (because I am ALMOST finished with season 4!)

Halloweenie Switch Witch Questions Part Deux

I ran out of room, so start here with 10/5!   October 20th   Do you need any winter wear, witchee?   I'm fairly well stocked, but I wouldn't mind some flip-top or fingerless mitts / handwarmers so I can still have finger access for iPhone usage.   I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it?   I'm guessing this was the freebie for costumes at Will Call? If my witch happens to have gotten one and doesn't love it, I'd love to try it. I would have been at Will Call in Costume, but unfortunately I had a killer migraine and couldn't take painkillers because I was having surgery on Friday. Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have?   My color preferences for this are the same as most everything... I love blue, purple, grey, and black. Some greens are ok, and that's pretty much it.   October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read?   It depends on what kind of scary. I like vampire books, though many of them aren't scary nowadays. I like books like Silence of the Lambs that are about a semi-realistic kind of scary, and I loved The Graveyard Book, which I suppose is "scary" for kids. I've read and enjoyed some Stephen King, but The Shining scarred me for years (granted I was 9 when I read it) so nothing *too* scary.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?   I haven't looked, and I think I'd better not.   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?   Well, Black #1 mentions her perfume smelling like burning leaves, but I wouldn't want to smell like that. None of my favorite songs really evoke a scent to me, but Bleak (by Opeth) would at least be a neat name.   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?   No idea who this is.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?   I haven't looked.   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on?   I'm a fan of York Peppermint Patties, Snickers, Almond Joy, Reese's Pieces... I like the fancy chocolate, but I like drugstore stuff fine too sometimes. I love Red Vines and Milk Duds too, but I can't eat them at the moment due to braces.   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie?   Most kinds! I especially love chocolate chip, molasses ginger, and snickerdoodles - but overall the most important thing is that they're soft cookies. Crunchy ones just aren't usually my thing... other than shortbread - I love shortbread! Oh, and biscotti, and...   How many boxes are you hoping for?   Whatever is convenient for my witch, I've already gotten two separate gifties, so any more would be more than generous. In the past I've had witches that save most for the last box, and some that distribute more evenly. Anything is fine!   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out?   I'm fine with it as long as they're labeled.   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like?   I think it would be nice, especially if it had some graphics involved as well. Some of my favorite song lyrics:   "Just watch the stars tonight as they disappear" "I settled for less and it's more than enough" "eyes that speak whispering words and more"   October 9th Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?   Yep, James Marsters. (Seriously, no not really.)   The best thing I ever ate...:   This probably changes all the time. I don't know, I quite liked Phad Khing from my favorite now-defunct Thai place.   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like?   I like black Panda licorice, though I'm not usually fond of most others. I like Red Vines! Unfortunately I'm not really allowed to eat either because of my braces. (When they come off I'm going to get a *bucket* of Red Vines, but that probably won't be for almost a year!) Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for?   I have a Macbook that I use mostly for traveling or watching DVDs in bed. I don't have any peripherals, and no accessories besides a little zip soft bag that I got with it. I don't even know what I can get!   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get?   I love audiobooks! I usually download them from the library, so I've got a pretty good selection. I can't think of any that I've been meaning to get but haven't been able to.   October 5th Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?)   If my witch is crafty, I'm always up for a crafty something. I do have a small collection of paintings from friends and acquaintances, so if my witch does visual art to hang on the wall type thing (or framed photos!) I'd love some.   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo?   I only wish! I want a minky anything - like a throw blanket for me!   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography?   I do have a Holga 135 that I got recently and an old Canon film SLR. I'd love film or some kind of cool attachment for my Holga if my witch is so inclined.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what?   In my dreams I'm going to learn to play the electric bass so I can be the cute girl in a metal band. In real life I sing, and recently joined a choir!

Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? Muppets, etc don’t freak me out or excite me terribly. Snakes. I hate snakes! I can’t watch them on tv, and I hyperventilate when I walk by the building that they are housed in at a zoo.   what level of contact were you hoping for? Anything is ok. I would be scared if my witch was too Ninja. I got abandoned in my first swap I was ever in, and it felt horrible to be left out of the fun. I’m a pretty high contact witch, but I’m also slightly neurotic.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I swear I just answered this.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? As mentioned I live in the boonies. I’ve been to all the local museums, the Fishing Hall of Fame and the Lumberjack hall of fame, and even the Woodcarvers Hall of fame. I think I’ve wrung all the culture out of Northern Wisconsin that there is to have!   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? That evil, evil Girasol introduced me to TimTams, which are pretty much my idea of heaven covered in chocolate. Especially the Black Forest ones. I would consider moving to Australia just to have a steady supply of them.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? I dated a guy from Canada once. That’s about all the cheesy Canadian that I need in this lifetime.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Either the white or milk chocolate with candied ginger. I’ve told you how I feel about candied ginger right? It’s like crack!   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? I have no idea what LPMP is.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I do not want to go camping. At previous job, my boss made us all go camping as a team building exercise. Me and the 18 guys. Please keep me from stumbling into any kind of a camp ever again! I also accidentally at an Asian Lady Beetle on one of those trips.   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? Can’t think of anything.   The best thing I ever ate...: ALL THE THINGS! Lol! My Grandma’s Brownies that Grandpa would sneak to me straight from the freezer. My mom’s gravy. Captain Crunch Chicken, Crab Au Gratin with White Truffles.   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? Not a huge fan. I’ll eat it if offered, but nothing I would ever choose for myself. Never had salted.   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? No Mac here.   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? I love audiobooks! I like them when I am in the car. I don’t have many (like maybe 3 or 4) and I listen to them over and over again. I’ve been thinking that it might be fun to get the Harry Potter books, but really, anything from my regular reading list would be just fine on a cd.   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?)   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? Yes, but I think I have all the accessories that I can use at the moment.   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? No thank you.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? I’ve played the piano for the last 25 years or so, and I enjoy singing, but, nobody enjoys hearing me.

I adore the Pirates Barbie!!   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? a small, pretty stapler, and...um....   Tarot - like it, but don't practice it   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I adore books. They allow me to explore other worlds, other countries, other lives, all without leaving my home. I don't own an ereader, and have been resisting my husband's suggestion to get one. I love the feel of books, the smell of inkprint....everything. I would love to have a padded lapdesk with the elastic edges to hold a book open, for the days when I don't have the energy to hold one in my hands.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?

Rocky Horror Picture Show!   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Many, so so many....   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? Nope.

I do like signed copies of my fav author's books, and I've been fortunate enough to meet two of them face to face, Nora Roberts and Mercedes Lackey.....and, I'm meeting CE Murphy next Friday in NYC.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? I don't embarrass too easy....can't think of anything here!!   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? Eh. I'm lemming other etailers more....like Haunt, Moonalisa, Paintbox Soapworks, etc. The only Lush product I really like anymore is Snowcake Soap, and I can say I don't have any currently.....   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts?

Fall 2011 SW ?'s through October

October 12 I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on? Almond Rocha.   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? Oh, Voodoo Queen of course!   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? Batty, but that's about it. And I'm thinking maybe a decant of Batty would do.   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? "Into the West," by Annie Lennox (from The Lord of the Rings soundtrack)   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update? No, thank you.     October 10/11 How many boxes are you hoping for? I really don't have any expectations; it's totally up to my witch.   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? That would be all right with me.   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? If this is something my witch loves to do, then great.   What is your favorite kind of cookie? gingersnaps!   October 9th Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? Not this year, thank you.   The best thing I ever ate...: boiled shrimp at Murrells Inlet, SC   October 8th If you are my witchee, would you want some homemade chilli jam? sure!   October 7th Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? I keep meaning to get the rest of the Harry Potter books on CD (my car has a player); I have Sorceror's Stone only so far.   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I've been a very happy Apple Inc. customer since the purchase of an Apple IIC. We (as a family) have owned several different Macs from their first introduction, but now I use a lovely 15" MacBook Pro. I have a lap desk thingy to keep it off my lap, and a little USB hub I keep plugged in to handle the various things I occasionally use (flash drive, CueCat for adding books to LibraryThing, iPod/iPhone sync cable, the external hard drive I use for Time Machine backups). I think that's about all the peripherals I use, at least that I can think of right now. I do need to get a travel case for it some day (purse style, I think, maybe red?).   And what do I use my computer for? Everything. Srsly. I mean it. I find more recipes online than I do in cookbooks; I know more about my kids' and grandkids' lives thanks to their being on Facebook than ever I knew just from phone conversations or the very rare letter; I find out about breaking news; I keep up with increasingly dear and valued internet friends; I shop; and I have my creative outlet --making BPAL scent icons-- thanks to my computer; my husband and I talk at least once a day via Skype, which is so much better than just a phone call; I find out how to get to where I wish to go IRL thanks to Google Maps; and any information I might need (from who played second lead in an obscure movie to the atomic weight of salt) is easily found online. I love my Mac, and even without online access, I would still love my computer - it organizes my life: I have a calendar of my appointments and/or important happenings; databases full of what books I own, or wish to own, movies, perfume, music, even the food I have on hand, all of which sync from my computer to my iPhone so that I can prevent buying duplicates when out and about. I write letters (email as well as snail mail) on my computer, and it also operates as a calculator occasionally, albeit a very expensive one. I store all the digital photos I take on my computer, and keep track of which I've shared with whom. One of these days I hope to figure out how to use an older MacBook + huge external hard drive to rip and store all my movie and TV show DVDs for replay directly to my TV, instead of using a DVD player.   October 6th Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? I like the "Red Vines" or Twizzlers type of licorice only, the cherry-flavored.   October 5th Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) I can't think of anything, but that just means I'd appreciate anything you made!   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? My digital camera (now) is a little Canon Elph PowerShot SD600 (used to be my daughter's, she gave it to me recently when she got a new digital Rebel), which lives in one of the red velvet BPTP bags a scent locket arrived in. I also looked a the Photojojo site, but didn't see anything for me.   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? No, thank you.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? I have a piano, and took lessons many, many years ago. I also played the clarinet from junior high through high school (marching band geek). I enjoy singing (second soprano) in community groups, but haven't in a while.   October 3rd Does anyone else like collector Barbies? No, thank you.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? a squeegee to clear my bathroom mirror! I always forget I need one, until the next time I do.   Tarot Love tarot decks, have A LOT of them.   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I have this bracelet I bought from an Etsy vendor, which I just love. It makes me happy to wear it, so it gets chosen a lot. Here's the picture of it: I love the way it feels as I move my wrist; it's very light weight, and quiet, and the shell buttons are so pretty. I love the colors of the complementary beads the artist used in this bracelet. Probably the most expensive thing in this bracelet was the silver toggle fastener, which just proves jewelry doesn't have to cost a lot to make someone happy.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? None, thanks.   Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn? The maple sugar/sea salt sounds intriguing...   October 2nd Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? Not this round, please.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? Nothing, thank you.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? Nothing, thank you.   Luck charms? I have a piece of clear quartz which goes everywhere with me.   Does anyone want anything from... here...? No, thank you.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? tarts, please. Mr. Stellans has allergies and incense smoke aggravates them, so it's tarts for me. I'm currently obsessed with Nag Champa.   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here? I like long necklaces (24" or longer) because my neckline is full of BPTP scent locket.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? The Fifth Element. I'm not sure why I haven't bought it yet, I think it just slips my mind until the next time I'm reminded of it.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? My Witch just gifted me with an iTunes gift certificate, so I'm good.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?     Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Not really.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? No, thank you.   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? Sure!   October 1st Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread? I don't think so.   Reveal? Most of the time, I do.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Bought some, thank you. Like I said in my questionnaire, if an LE comes up that sounds like I'd like it, I'm going to go ahead and get it.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? not right now, I've got so much lotion and creams I'm afraid some will go off before I can use them.

I like the tarts, Lovely Molls sent some last Autumn round., The votive candles are fun too. Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? They have some pretty things. Is there a movie you want so badly that you don't own now? I have one on my Amazon wish list that I can't buy as it's not available in European region and I don't have a multi-region player. Is there a song on Itunes that you haven't downloaded yet? Hundreds! Can't think of anything I'm desperate for, when I get the ear-worm I try get the song into my Amazon basket so I can buy it when I have funds, at the moment I have 74-75 by The Connells in my basket to buy later just because I heard it on the radio and I remembered it from years ago. Is there a rare book you've always wanted? I have a few that I collect Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Don't think so Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I can get Lush so easily from the Cambridge shop, I wouldn't want my witch to pay postage. if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? Nuts are good   October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread? Every round I find new things and new music and stuff, reading the shuffle question (which I didn't answer this time I don't think it was on the list-I'll pop it in now although it always works out embarrassing-even with 1000 songs on iPhone Led Zeppelin -Rock and Roll (yep 70s!) Chris Rea-Stainsby Girl (wow 80s) Guns N Roses Knockin' on Heaven's Door )somewhat embarrassing) Stereophonics-Maybe tomorrow (love this band even though it's old) Neil Young Heart of Gold (getting older and more scary- I know there is new stuff why doesn't it come up?) David Bowie-Life on Mars (another oldie, but still good) Russell Watson-You raise me up (well he is rather nice) Paolo Nutini-New Shoes (This century! both my youngest and myself have played this album to death) Bat for Lashes-Glass (Must be Martha's) Ryan Adams-Wonderwall ( What can I say, except I prefer the original Oasis version) Reveal? Please reveal, then I can get to know you better, after all you have had to endure all this stuff about me, I'd love to know you. Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? I went with a decanter here, it sounds so good- just worried about the cocoa thing and it's a good cause. Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Goat's milk sounds yuck, but it probably smells good. Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? Can't think of one Describe your sense of humour. Hate slapstick, don't find it funny. Like intelligent women comedians best, things I can relate to , like Dawn French, Victoria Wood, French and Saunders. Witty humour, don't mind smutty stuff, but not lavatory. Love laughing with my girlfriends, we laugh a lot and I'm usually smiling. Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) Don't know what a Chico bag is, use cloth shopping bags whenever-they are very popular in the UK. I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? What is Sephora? Do I need more googling?

I just love the idea of a condom case and keep meaning to get myself one for the purse.   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE.

(yup, geek question) -I used to, but not anymore.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?) -Getting out the Halloween decor and starting the consumption of all the pumpkin things. That's about it.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks?

And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting -I'm not planning on an order anytime soon.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! -I'm quite the fan of geodes. And while rock with fossils and such is lovely, I grew up in an area where you could find them very easily, just off the ground. So they've lost a bit of luster for me. But shiny, sparkly is always good.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? -Since I live in TExas, light and drappy is always good. In fact, something I could wear to the movies would be aces, to keep warm. Colors...deep red, tiffany blue, kelly green, anything bright and varigated. I'd prefer it not be full wool, as it'll be scratch.   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? -I'm good, thanks.   How do you feel about terrariums? -LOVE THEM. TO BITS AND BITS.   What's your favorite horror movie? -I don't think I have a favorite. Maybe Zombieland? Sean of the Dead? I like gore with a good dose of funny.   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. -Aveda cleanser and moisturizer for sensitive skin, Eucerin Redness Relief Daily Perfecting Lotion SPF 15, Vitamin C serum, Morgana's Cryptoria and MAC lip balms and lipstick, Haunt and BPAL (and etsy folks) soaps, Aveda hand lotion, Morrocan Argan oil for my hair, Oscar Blande aerosol dry shampoo, Klorane Aersol dry shampoo, FX Wild Harvest Shampoo Hydra Curl, ditto for conditioner, Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coca Masque, Montagne Jeunesse masks all of them, Biore strips, Seche Vita nail polish top coat, Nailtek nail treatment, those nail polish remover pens from Sephora/Sally Hansen....I think that's it!   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? -I do love Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly...and Prid enad Prejudice and Zombies was a fun read. But that's about the extent of my love.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? -An art teacher once told me 'Destroy your precious'. Meaning, that journal that's too pretty to write in, write in it. That piece of fabric you're saving for something special, use it. That yarn you just can't bring yourself to use, unravel it and use it. That special china, that new dress, that necklace for only special occasions, use it, wear it, live it. Destroy your precious. When she told me that, I had a full on existential crisis, right there in the middle of class. I was fighting back tears. It was such a profound moment for me.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? -I'm quite a fan of Steampunk, which fits in nicely to the Victorian era, so to speak.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? -No.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? -Ooooo, the Bonfire Days smack is just about perfect. I just think I'd remove the vanilla and add Suede.   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? -Anne Brigman's photography. Hands down. I've never been more inspired by photography than with hers. My greatest wish is that one day she gets the recognition she has long deserved.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? -Oooo, that sounds awesome!
