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.

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? ???

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?

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.

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.

(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?

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?

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?

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?

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? oooh...flavored Schapps!!! What are your views on fudge and brownies?
