🌲☆12 Days of Christmas 2017☆🌲

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 2017 QUESTIONS   How do you feel about the following flavors/ingredients: Coconut? Yes Mint? Yes Lavender? Sure Rosewater? Maybe Cardamom? Yes Candied citrus peel/marmalade? Yes Anything to absolutely avoid? I like alot of things but needs to be vegan. Would you like anything crafted for the storage or transport of the BPAL? (Travel imp containers, boxes for 5mls, bottle cozy, etc.) If so, do you prefer them to be plain or decorated? If decorated, are there any motifs or art that you'd particularly like? Someone made a bottle softcase that was SO CUTE! I would love that for travel. Really, any kind of storage would be appreciated.   Do you have a strong preference for numbered packages vs randomly picking with maybe a few hints along the way? I have done swaps here with both unnumbered and numbered, and definitely prefer numbered if that's not too difficult. It doesn't have to climax or anything, but it's more fun for me that way...   Are you jonesing for any particular BPAL right now? Anything you are just dying to try, even just a sniffie? Yes, I think I updated my bpal wishlist last week to include the latest things i'm wishing for. Just ignore the rares~   We do a lot of baking and holiday good ridiculousness around here...house specialties include lebkuchen (flourless, they're mostly nuts, spices, candied fruit), marzipan, butter caramels (flavored or plain), shortbread crisps, and savory cheese shortbread. Any of these sound appealing? Yes, I'm totally into all of these, even better if they are vegan What are your top places to get a gift card from? BPAL and BPTP Which holiday symbols/themes do you like the best (or least)? Such as Santas, snowflakes, reindeer, etc. I would say Vintage/Retro for sure since we have the aluminum tree and the old world decor. Crystals and lots of sparkle. We also have some evil looking gnomes and Norse/Nordic/Celtic type decor that came from Norway etc.   Do you like puzzles? I do like puzzles, but we do not have a place to work on them so I would have to say no. If they are the handheld puzzles, everyone around here loves those.   What kind of hot drinks do you like, and if tea or coffee or cocoa or cider or alcohol, give specifics? I LOVE teas, mostly milk oolong, dirty chai, and I getting more into Matcha. I don't drink coffee at all, and love cocoa and mulled cider. I also ADORE sweet wines and cordials like Riesling, Moscato d"Asti, Port, an limonchello.   What kind of candles do you like, scent, etc? My favorite candles are woodsy, creamy fig, and earthy smoky vanillas. Mixes or seasonings for the kitchen? I'm crazy for spices, black salt, saffron, barbeque sauce, and Sambal Olek   Are you interested in anything from my etsy shop? https://www.etsy.com...winklentwilight OH yes, these are so cute. I think the ones with the zippers would be best for me and I adore japanese fabrics.   How do you feel about amigurumi (little crochet stuffies...animals, characters, ornaments, etc.)? These are so cute, but not as an ornament. I have to use super lightweight things on my old tree. I love amigurumi dragons and bats the most.   If I were to crochet you something wearable, do you have any preferences? Do you like hats, scarves, gloves, other? And would you prefer something fun and whimsical (e.g. fox face hat or owl mittens), something delicate and pretty (e.g. lacy wraps or scalloped boot cuffs), or just something like a basic, no frills beanie or cowl? Do you have a Ravelry account and a list of favorite patterns? I don't have a Ravelry account unfortunately, but armwarmers would be excellent!   What is something new in your life that you wish you had more "things" for? Are you coveting anything currently available from Haus of Gloi? I love Moon Dog pumpkin butter, hair oil and soap, also if the Yules are released early enough, I'm crazy about Three Treasures if that gets released again and I want to try Old Tannenbaum, Ye Olde Cake of Fruit, and Wintervale if that comes back. I do not care for the scrubs or perfumes unfortunately.   Are you coveting anything from the Paintbox Soapworks update that just happened? I'm not a fan of their soaps unfortunately, but i'm curious about the scrubs.   Are you coveting anything from Cocoa Pink? I just placed a pretty big order from CP so i'm good, but I can always use more linen sprays and/or Ends with Argon Benefits. I'm not really a fan of her shampoos but I'd like to try Soulmate.   Do you have feelings about fruitcake? We're talking whiskey soaked homemade fruitcake, not a brick in a festive tin. Yes, if its vegan - sorry, you're gonna see this alot   Any strong nail polish and/or makeup preferences? Makeup is pretty simple, but I do stain my lips, wing my eyeliner sometimes, use mascara, cream eyeshadow, claw polish in grays, mauves, indigo, and pale pink, and lip shine. For bath goodies, I like both whipped soap and bar soap equally, along with scrubs. Spray or pouring body oils, hair oils and detanglers.   *Lipstick – I’m a lipstick junkie! I’m open to trying anything but prefer creamy mattes that aren’t drying. *Mascara – I’m open to trying colors! My hands down fave is Lancome Hypnose. Second fave is the much cheaper Loreal Paris Voluminous *Nail Polish - Love neutrals, greys, blues, golds, silvers, browns and halos stuff. *Eyeshadow – I only use crème eyeshadows, love dark pinks, sparkling browns, and golds. *Eyeliner - I like to use liquid eyeliner in dark teal, brown and black. My main concern is smudging, so if you know of a fab one that doesn't budge bring it on. How do you feel about pomanders? I made so many of these in grade school! I'm sure my family was completely over me and my pomanders. I'm open to them, and would find a place to hang one maybe.   How do you feel about savor soaps? Cute stuff! I'm stunned by the sheer amount of people making indie bath products these days. There's always a new one to discover. The cherry things are appealing to me, really i'm open to trying new things.   Or Perfectly Posh? If there's something you love, share it with me, but i'm always a bit wary of consultant sites.   Favorite animals? I love so many different animals, but animals around the house or on socks and such probably lions, black cats, alpaca, owls, and swans. Weird question, but it's on my mind: Do you have a strong preference for consumables (soaps, candles, food, etc.) over other stuff? Honestly, I don't need any more knick-knacks but I don't want to disappoint. An blown glass ornament for the tree would be amazing tho. I collect the Old World Christmas ornaments, the stranger the better. I don't think I really answered this question tho Would you be interested in one of the Colorpop pallets? Anything else from Colourpop? I cannot do powdered eyeshadow, but am super curious about the liquid colors they are releasing this month. Would you like any holiday music? if so, do you prefer a CD or MP3? I collect vinyl, so if anything records are preferred. We love John Coltrane and other jazzy holiday collections. I've got a few on my Amazon wishlist if you want to check it out. Do you like toffee or fudge? YES, i'm making both of these this year tho.   What is something new in your life that you wish you had more "things" for? Not a new thing, but quality pens and other art supplies are always welcome.   🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 QUESTIONNAIRE   WINTER WONDERINGS Do you celebrate Christmas?

☆ My Q & A post for 13 Nights of Halloween Swap ☆

☆ My Q & A post for 13 Nights of Halloween Swap ☆ Goodies Opening: Wow! I'm super excited to be doing this and really, I'm fine with whatever you decide. I do like numbered packages but its really up to you. Anything here: http://paintboxsoapworks.com/ look like something you'd like to try (assuming that you're not already ordering it)? I haven't tried anything from PBSW and would like to. Probably anything except the wax melts. Do you like stuff related to Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)? I live in San Antonio and we celebrate Dia de los Muertos as much as Halloween. I LOVE all things from this tradition especially skulls. Handknit items: Potholders? I'm in South Texas where it never really gets cold enough for knitted items. Are there any fandoms or specific collectible genres you would appreciate things of/for? Any Studio Ghibli movie - Totoro, deer figurines, vintage asian stuff, Dunny, rocks and minerals. Do you have a favorite Fall/Halloween symbol? Bats! First, talk to me about soaps- do you like them, and what kinds of scents/lather/varieties do you like? I adore soaps of all kinds but they need to be as natural as possible and prefer cold pour. Brands I LOVE are Cellar Door, Haus of Gloi, Future Prim, Solstice Scents whipped soaps are divine. Second, tell me about teas! Favorites? Anything you'd like to try? I LOVE cardamom tea, chocolate teas, chai and thai iced tea. Lastly, I go to Renn Faire- is there anything from there you might like? Crystals, jewelry, tarot cards, breast knife, coffee, sweets. What Weenie of years past are you seeking from the lab? Autumn Overlooked my Knitting, Theme in Yellow, Le Femme de Satan. Are you a shawl wearer- and if you don't wear one now, would you? Yes, I wear shawls instead of coats in the winter. Tell me about LUSH- do you like them? If so, what are some of your favorite things from there? Particularly fond scents or products? Stuff you can't stand? I use Black Angels and Ultrabland and I love the scent of Lord of Misrule and Dragon's Egg. Stuff from Japan? Yes, I love anything Japanese Pumpkin Spice or No Pumpkin Spice? No please but I do enjoy clove and cinnamon. Milk, white, and/or Dark Chocolate? Dark chocolate only please. I am vegan. Do you like Yankee Candle? Anything you want from there? Not really. All their stuff gives me a headache, but I LOVE candles. This is my most favorite one: http://shop.nordstro...-candle/3734465 and I'm waiting for one from Three Ravens: https://www.threerav...ancy-collection I do not have a wax warmer, so please no melts. Trading Post Goodies? YES! I love the atmos. Bath and Bodyworks? I haven't found anything I like from there and can't stand how the stores smell. My daughter likes it though. Tell me of your Sock Dreams, please! I love all kinds of socks especially dark, jewel tone colored ones. i'd like to make some baked goods, would you like some? And if you have any food allergies what can I use as a substitute? Since I am vegan, I am very picky. I cannot do any sort of dairy or eggs. Probably safer to pass on the baked goodies. Anything special you want from the Target dollar spot? Can always use stickers, tapes, twine and other goodies. I live in The Netherlands. If there's anything in particular that you'd like to get from here, now's the time to tell! I collect trolls and would love one from your land.

What is your stance on Glitter? I wish I could cover my whole body with glitter Also, if you have a Goodreads or other online reading log, does it include a wishlist? Otherwise, is it safe to assume books on the 'to-read' section are wishlist items? Or are you less into keeping a physical copy of the book, and instead prefer to turn to the awesomeness of the library to get your to-read need accomplished. https://www.goodread...w/list/11567200 includes a to-read wishlist. how about art? (Small/mailing safe sizes, course) Absolutley. Tea lovers, what do you like from Whittard? I haven't tried Whittard teas, but my favorite tea is Republic of Tea. I love to try new things. Witch In-Out Sign? Not really into signage. Dearest Pumpkin - how much are you wedded to wishlists, say I have some read once books which I think you might like based on what you've read in the past, but there is nothing of the sort on your current Goodreads "to read" list? Bring it ON!! How do you feel about reading series out of order? Obviously not in situations where the subsequent books are part of the same story arc where you will be totally lost and frustrated if you haven't read all of them, but say, standalone stories which are technically part of a series and which might obliquely reference past books, but not in such as way as to spoil the plot of the book which I happen to have in my possession that you might like. That's fine but not preferred. Would you be interested in a Halloween themed short story anthology? Probably not unless it's a graphic novel. Is there a limit to the number of books you'd like to receive? I have a Kindle for reading but prefer graphic novels and comics in printed form. Have you read Movies in 15 Minutes by our very own Cleolinda? Would you like to? I checked out the website. It looks pretty interesting. What kind of phone do you have? iPhone 4s (vintage lol) Have you seen the horror film The Babadook? If so, did you like it? Would you want something Babadook-themed? I have seen it and it's not my fave. Probably prefer It Follows, but my favorite horror films are: The Shining, The Ring, Drag Me to Hell, Cabin Fever, Donnie Darko, Nightmare Before Christmas, Let the Right One In. Motherhood Update: Bottles NOW of: Texare, San Cristobal de le Habana, Funerary Papyri decants of: Little Lady Frank, Outlaw, The Devil Will Find Work for Idle Hands, The Wolf and the Rattlesnake, Spider Witch.   So who likes incense? Is there a preferred scent? Cones or sticks? Would you like a burner for it? My favorite incense is Shoyeido's River Path Incense - Hori-kawa. It smells heavenly. I do use white sage smudge sticks and could use a fireproof container for charcoal and copal resin which I also use. Bring it on~

Switch Witch Questions & Answers 2017

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌚🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌚🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌚🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌚🌒🌓🌔🌕 QUESTION LIST FROM FORUM THREAD:   Would any witchees be interested in NASA swag? I'm now super-close to Marshall Space Flight Center and will be visiting the space center with my kiddo pretty regularly. If so, what would you like? Clothes, a mug, magnets, a plush Snoopy wearing a flight suit? I worked for a company that created a traveling exhibit with NASA, and I even got to transport a moon rock once. You wouldn't believe the box I had to travel with! I had all eyes on me at the airport, because it looked like something that might have a bomb in it. I got to bring the rock home with me for a night and we took it into a dark room, and lit it up with a flashlight. It looked like millions of tiny, black sparkling crystals all clustered together. MAGIC!!! I would LOVE another NASA patch if you see any of those. I already have one for the moon landing, and it needs a friend on my patch bag.   Does anybody like anything from Solstice Scents? I LOVE their Jack and the Devil. http://www.solsticescents.com/ Sadly, I cannot wear any SS perfumes. They make me queasy.

They have a local honey stand (which also sells things made from local honey like Propolis tincture!); there's a small apothecary and she additionally makes soaps and hand-made, hand-poured scented candles; plus a guy that makes an array of BBQ and Hot Sauces. Does any of this appeal? Would you like anything from my local farmer's market? Yes, the soaps would be lovely as long as they don't have tallow, milk or honey. I adore candles and BBQ sauce.   Smolder Cosmetics. Do any of their products (glitter, eye dusts etc) appeal to you? https://smoldercosmetics.com These are gorgeous, but I absolutely cannot use any powdered eye dust, eye shadow or blush. It must all be cream based, otherwise my eyes go red and angry.   Anything from Strobe Cosmetics (http://strobecosmetics.com)? Same as above ^^^   How would you feel about getting Hello Kitty stuff? I don't really collect hello kitty stuff, but my daughter might like it. Would you like to get some favorite recipes? Sure, i'm always looking for more vegan ideas. Would you like anything from my shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/LisaNut?

I'm open to trying any of those.   Dying for a bottle or tester of Mummies of the DF~ http://hautemacabre.bigcartel.com/product/mummies-of-mexico-city   How do you feel about these little guys?

In the style of Haunted Mansion - black lace collars, lace and sparkle masques and the like. A few items in Dias de los Muertos style. Would you be interested in such things? I checked out a few items on the website, and some of the kitty earrings are cute, and the masks and scarves. Sure, it's pretty cute stuff. Might be kinda youngish for me, but I can always pass it to my daughter.   Would you be interested in anything from Orange Thyme? https://shoporangethyme.com/ If so, which products/scents/flavors? Sure, i'm open to it.   Anyone like/want calendars or dayplanners? If you like stationery, do you like plain, colors, images, or specific DON'T LIKES? What about general desk stuff like cool colored paperclips and post it pads?

Your answer can be as simple ("Star Wars" or "Baroque" or "Modern"), or complicated or a combination (e.g. Victorian Gothic) as you feel best fits. I love a house completely decorated with floor to ceiling tapestries, big fat floor cushions, incense burners, rugs, meditation cushions and lots of beautiful woods with rainbow crystals and windchimes hanging in the windows. I guess this is hippy eclectic but my house is already pretty close to that. Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting? I have a few aprons, but I don't really wear them. I do like tool aprons tho. BTW, would my witchee be interested in something like this?

Wes Anderson, Twin Peaks, Game of Thrones, Studio Ghibli, Mark Ryden.   I'm in France at the moment, is there anything here you might like? I'm in Provence, the land of lavender, so if you like that flower in particular just say so! I have a tiny little perfume bottle my father brought me from France years ago. It is a treasure to me. If you see any lovely perfume bottles to share with me, I would cry, and yes I am passionate about lavender.   are you into divination? What kind(s) do you currently do? Do you want more books and/or tools for that type (e.g. new tarot cards, new runes)?

I've recently gotten into further study on Goddess Arianrhod, and her starry wheel.   Favorite gemstones? Rainbow moonstone, amethyst, midnight sapphire, black opals, labradorite, jade, alexandrite, turquoise, emerald. If you enjoy jewelry do you like discrete and elegant, flashy and gaudy, small and light, or large and chunky?

Pirates are fun, but I don't collect any pirate bounty. Is there anything you would like from Disney World? GAH! the shopping at Disney World, BLOWS MY MIND!!! I remember the CUTEST Japan store at the Epcot center. Good grief! I would take ANYTHING from there - paper note pads, pencils, pens, lucky cats, jewelry, socks, stuffies, tea cups, lanyards, glass. Pins and boxes for BPAL are always welcome especially from the Haunted Mansion.   Are you a Potterhead? If so, to which house do you belong? I'm in the Ravenclaw house which is perhaps a good fit for several reasons.   How do you feel about chokers? I don't really wear thin chokers often because I don't really wish to draw attention to my aging neck, but I do wear a few pieces that are wider and I love layered necklaces that either wrap or have a few different lengths of chain.   Would you like some Halloween or other themed decor in the form of a banner, something like this http://www.etsy.com/...n-decor-vintage? If so, would you prefer a traditional style or a vertical door type? That's adorable. It would be fun to have something to hang over a doorway rather than vertical.   Do you live near a Trader Joe's? If not, are you interested in trying any of the numerous Pumpkin goodies they come out with this time every year? We do have a TJ's here. I really love the nuts and dried fruit selection treatwise. I'm open to pumpkin stuff, but it's GOT TO BE VEGAN. Do you like to cook and/or bake? Could you use any specific ingredients (spices, oils, salts, extracts, etc.) or kitchen utensils/gadgets? I'm crazy about different kinds of salts, especially smoky, black and pink. We also have an amazing pepper grinder and could always use more pepper corns. YES on spices, we use so much, vanilla extract is always welcome.   I'm at Ocean City MD for bike week......would a witches want anything from here? Bike or beach related?? Some mermaid looking beads or stuffy would be fun.   What is 1 thing you would love to see in your final box? Can be ANYTHING - your choice. I have to say, one of the exclusives from NYCC.

Sure, they look like they were made for me~   Do any of you potential Witchees have any kitties, puppers, or youngling humans you want spoiled in your packages? What treats or toys do they like?

Sure sounds fun. The more Morticia in look the better.   For those who watch certain movies every year for Halloween, what are those movies, whether horror or not? Any favorite horror movies that aren't necessarily on the annual-viewing list? How do you feel about fan-made merch for these movies? Nightmare Before Christmas, The Shining, Bram Stoker's Dracula, What We Do in the Shadow's, Beetlejuice, Crimson Peak, The Haunting (original) and OLLA.
