Ever tried a soap from Paintbox Soapworks? No, I haven't but I did just visit the website and a couple things caught my attention. Lavender Truffle soap sounds pretty amazing as does the Pick-A-Duck organic lotion. ANSWERS TO SWITCH WITCH THREAD QUESTIONS: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ October 14th Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? A little. I'm more into paranormal romance. October 13th Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?

I'm not that into drinking tea, so I am not sure how much I'd really use. 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.

Cocoa Pink Pumpkin Sugar Cookie scrub, Demeter Fragrance Jelly Belly Very Cherry Cream purse spray, & (and I know this is impossible) one of the BPAL perfume boxes that were only available at Will Calls a couple years back.

And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting Yes, I have. I pretty much have what I want from the BPTP update coming in decants. Same with BPAL update. Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Hmmm, probably not. 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? I'd love a scarf, thick and warm for the chilly Ohio winter, and I'd love any bright color(s). No allergies.

How do you feel about terrariums? No real interest in them. What's your favorite horror movie? Probably original Nightmare On Elm Street (not the remake!) 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. Aveeno unscented hand lotion, Philosophy shampoo, Philosophy Purity cleanser, Colgate toothpaste, Secret Invisible Solid. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Meh. 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? Not really Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Postcards are fun. 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? Usually if I buy a comic it's because it's an adaptation of a book I enjoy and it's usually the content and graphics that attracts me to them. If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Candy Floss, Marshmallow, Vanilla Bean, & Buttercream cupcake. if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? ???

I'd love to learn how to make soap from scratch. Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? I'm really picky about t-shirts, so probably not. Do you like homemade snack mixes?

You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! I'd love to try just about anything, No food allergies here. September 20th Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. I could use a new eyeshadow brush. Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Not really my thing. Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. I'm assuming BPAL could also be BPTP---Fae Forest RPG spray, Unspeakably Evil Temple RPG Spray. Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Lately, my office has been more like working in a Dilbert comic strip. A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I would love to be crafty,,,,but unfortunately, I am not. Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I'm not even going to look. BPAL & BPTP updates killed my wallet already. So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? I tend to be a bit shy around strangers, so probably not. September 19th What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself? I think I answered this on the original questionnaire, but I guess I'd say a toothpaste tube roller for sure and maybe some new BPTP note pads. Love those for taking notes. How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? Never tried it. I actually don't really paint my nails all that often, so probably not applicable for me. Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I love lip balm, the kind in tubes so I don't have to spread it with my fingers. I love flavored lip balms...ice cream flavors,dessert flavors, candy flavor, and fruit flavor. Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) I do like colored pens, but prefer the bolder tips. -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) Link isn't working and to be honest, art is just not my forte. Wish it was though. -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) See above answer. I tend to be a stick figure artist. -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? Not my thing. If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? This time of year? Probably Halloween peanut butter cups and Halloween decorations. Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Don't care for pickled veggies. Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? black/white nature photographs, but color when abstract. would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Not really for me, sorry. Amigurumi, yes or no? Sure! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I don't have any particular painting or artist in mind. I like paintings with bright colors, for the most part though. If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Umm, probably a campy Halloween scene with a haunted house, witch flying in the sky, ghosts, and zombies in a graveyard. I admit that my taste in art is extremely non-discriminating. Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Licorice, Cotton Candy, Banana Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea I'm not much of a tea drinker, to be honest. September 18th Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Don't wear T-Shirts all that often. How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Would love to try pumpkin scented soap or a candle. Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? No idea what this is. If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. Well, if it's an Irish witch, I love Tato Crisps. We had some on a trip to Ireland years ago and got addicted to the onion and cheese flavored ones. I would love to try the fabled Tim Tams as well if my witchee is Australian. I'd actually be happy to receive any kind of international sweet. I love trying new things! Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I own a 13" Macbook Pro and have a 20" Mac monitor, and Mac keyboard. I actually have quite a few Apple stickers, so no need for those. I don't have any keychains though. SOCK PREFERENCES? Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Link isn't working??? Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? No, I don't care for those. September 17th Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? No, we're pretty much to the point of just buying digital copies of movies, rather than actual DVD discs. Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I love postcards and would be happy to be a Nacho witch for postcards. Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Nope Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Hate Star Trek with a passion. Sorry... Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Not sure what it would be of??? September 16th Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Order out, but I do bake during the holidays and would love a good dessert cookbook. New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Love it on my pancakes and waffles. How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) No, thanks. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Original Star Wars, favorite character: Han Solo (though as a kid it was definitely Princess Leia) Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I don't really care for jerky. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I won't open anything at work, so it should be OK. Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I've actually never watched an episode of it. Sorry I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? N/A Anyone love Buffy/Angel? LOVE Buffy and Angel How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Gummy is good. How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? No thanks. Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? Probably more Disney and campy, than really gory. Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Yes I have pierced ears. Jewelry is fine, but posts have to be stainless steel or gold. How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Never had them. September 15th Interested in anything from Lush? No thanks Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? No thanks Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark?

Sure! How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. Sure! Do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Never had one, but would be open to it. Who here adores meringue? I love meringue! September 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I'm a loyal, fair, slightly neurotic, individual with a touch of OCD. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? oooh...flavored Schapps!!! What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) My views on fudge and brownies are quite favorable. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Uh, what is that? Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Besides everything? I chose Candied Pumpkin, Spun Sugar Spectre BO, SO Hair gloss, and both atmo sprays though. Does anyone like kimchi? Again, what is that? Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Wow, I feel dumb. Don't know what these are either. You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Every single hair gloss, couple more lockets, the RPG sprays, and another bottle of Erebos. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Nope, don't buy from them. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively?

If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? Monkeys! How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?

What do you really NOT want? Other e-tailer perfumes. I am fairly devoted to BPAL. September 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?
