Switch Witchereee

To my sweet Witch - these are questions from SW Fall '10, Spring 2011, and new ones added for current Halloween round '11!! (updated today, Sept. 11, 2011) My Amazon wishlist is very current and has many ideas and items updated! I am fine with 2nd hand items (lets be ecologically conscious consumers!) as long as they are clean and smoke-free. My Amazon wishlist - click here (just a quick note - I dont need any sort of journal or blank book - have a huge stack I dont know what to do with right now) Thrift store items? yes useful or beautiful preferred - Its possible to find some amazing things, also fabrics, and I collect the old Fire King apricot/peach glazed dinnerware. Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? Yes, mine, just not much listed! Halloween candy? chocolate without cookies or flour-type crunchies, mini candy bars, fruit slices (YUM), gummies, chews, sour things, but none of those orange and black nouget things blech! One thing I am hunting is gluten-free strawberry/raspberry/grape or cherry licorice!!! I LOVE licorice but cant eat the common ones because they are all made with wheat flour. I especially love the licorice strings and ropes, but will take any I can find soap or shower gel? Yes, as answered WAYYYYY down below, no body shop or Avon or bath n body works unless its totally essential oils - these cheap perfumes really do a number on my head! How do you like your chocolate? massive quantities gourmet, Godiva, Mrs. See's butterscotch squares, choc or fruit creams, organic, unique, I like trying the new weirder flavors too - just NO HOT PEPPERS. Beads! Do you use them? AN OBSESSION! I do not use plastic beads, ever. I stay away from most wood beads, and also those tiny stone chip beads. I love gemstone beads, mid to larger size, love glass beads in darker jewel tones, LOVE copper beads and findings/spaces, etc...love unique nature or celtic charms. some of my fav beads are in the blue-green-violet spectrum. Sea salted caramels? oh sure! What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? no obsessions. I love James McAvoy! ..and Ralph Fiennes are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Im afraid the combos wont work - but some of the other weenies sound good If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? My cats love treats and small fuzzy balls to play with - they also love feathery toys What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? Fairy Wine, High Priest Not To Be Described, and Gold Phoenix. Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? LOVE Falero - also Waterhouse - any size! If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? Vapour Organic Beauty is my new top fav!! I wish I could afford their stuff! WOULD LOVE one of their samplers, cause they send a gift cert for next purchase! I want all MAC pigments, body gltter, and large sized body paints by Wolfe, Paradise, Kryolan or Mehron. I am the palest skin tone without being albino (for real!) tend toward red cheeks, and cool tones look best most of the time. Hair is super fine, thin, and super dry and frizz curl. Do you like coffee or tea? hot cocoa - really good decaf dark roast coffee and decaf black or green teas. prefer no fruits or heavy flavors. HATE ROOIBOS. Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? I would love CD's by Amy Winehouse, Mumford n Sons, Indigo Girls, Gorrilaz, Crystal Method Are you going away for any part of this round? no....? Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? sure!! If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? yes!! Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Hiking, photography, backpacking - Im sick a lot but I love being in nature and the mtns & woods. Witchee, are you a fan of musicals?

I order my Fred Soll through his online store now. - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I would be similar to Harry - Slytherin and Gryffindor - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? oh gee! Amazon?

I would love to see a spaceship from somewhere else, with its door open, for me to get on! When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? HOT bath, or HOT shower, sometimes eat some of my legal mj edibles, going to a movie and munching out on junk food rocks too. Drinking some tequila/mezcal or scotch works wonders too!

Wordsworth: The world is too much with us soon and late, getting and spending we lay waste our powers...etc That whole poem - I think of it all the time. Dream candle? Oh, I love beeswax candles scented with orange clove mixes....more natural scented apple cider/wassail is wonderful too! Aloha Bay (chakra scents) is also good, or other Aloha Bay - they make wonderful scents. Do you like knitted goodies? I have a friend who knitted me a wonderful scarf and hat! I would love leg warmers, however, I have large calves. Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? sure. as long as there is no flour in it, or instead its made with gluten-free flour. What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Fairy Wine!!!!!!!! We just dont have a budget for me to splurge on things like perfume I missed out on The High Priest Not to be Described, and its one that smells fabulous on me (few do!), and now I cant find it anywhere - Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC What is your favorite animal? see my swap-bot profile (link in my signature) What are you going to be for Halloween? not sure yet - I am considering being a REAL forest hag! How do you feel about nick-knacks? if its specific to anything listed here as a 'like', fine! otherwise, Im not into plastic or dollar store stuff, or kitschy, country things. What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? birthday, anniversary, Yule, Mabon, Samhain, Ostara Do you like going to the movies? LOVE THE MOVIES What are your favorite restaurants? local ones usually - good vegetarian, thai, chinese, middle eastern/mediterranean or indian is my preference every time!

Right now I am most into adding larger pendants of REAL stones, wrapped or in coppor or silver or gold. That way I can just slip it on a chain. Earrings are tricky - I have tons, and dont wear a lot. OH! I LOVE the new blingy crystal beaded rhinestoney stretch bracelets!!! in greens, pale peachy pinks, aquas, golds! Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? I have yet to get a box tall enough to hold the small collection of bottles. Wood or metal, old fashioned, just nothing too kitschy. I wish I had a box to hold bottles and imps. probably just a little smaller than a shoebox. Muppets: sure - the old muppet show muppets fozzy bear, swedish chef, animal....the band members...I miss them all. Favorite Mythological Creature?: Pegasus (see amazon wishlist and dragons Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers: sure as long as they arent heavy - I will wear them - my hair is super fine and thin Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? yes Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds? DEF!! thought I answered already..but anyway...tequilla, single malt scotch, mead, absinthe Steampunk inspired items?

There is one in my Etsy favs I adore...Im into the cute widdle critters, not monsters. Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Pirates, all the time. For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear? I wear mostly lip stains, but would love a stain with moisturizer!! I love the nude shades cause my skin is so pale - otherwise I wear cool natural looking mauves and roses, sometimes adding pigments. My dream lipstick is silly I know - but I wish for Tom Ford's Smoke Red lipstick - I have no red lipstick, but that one seems like it might work. Someday, when its not so freaking expensive! What's your favorite animal? Foxes, flickers, bears - I live with felines Do you like wearing things in your hair?I like elegant, celtic, or victorian (dark), gothic style small slips and combs - my hair is fine so nothing heavy or it will fall right out and get lost. Piercings? ears and nostril Chocolate. With stuff in it? Yeah, I am SUPER open about trying high quality chocolate! For example, yes, I do love the Bacon bars! The hot chilis dont agree with me though. LOVE Godiva - especially fruit fillings, love Mrs Sees too (butterscotch squares OMG!!) surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours? Spa treatment in the most luxurious spa I could find in Vegas!! Do you need another bpal box? I guess I could use a real Bpal box - i have a little soap box someone gave me that is pretty, but everything is all topsy turvy and hard to see. Im open on the box style - just use my favorite colors and anything else you think I might like Do you enjoy gardening? yes - but we live in this nasty dry climate. I grow irises, herbs, and many indoor plants. Vegetable gardening is for the greenhouse that will have to be put together to use! Social Networking sites: Facebook favourite artists or specific paintings? Rembrandt, Bouguereau, Falero, Renoir, specific Monet (not the florals) Baked Goods? Yea Nay? YAY IF they are GLUTEN FREE...but would much prefer (see below) If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? There is a special cookbook using almond flour by Elena something or other - I would to have that! But also, if you have any super good crockpot recipes using beans!! We got a crockpot in hopes of eating healthier, and want to use many more beans in our diet. What would I order TODAY from BPAL? I so would love a bottle(any amount) of The High Priest Not To Be Described - every time I wear this I get complements, especially at pagan events. I also have been wishing for bottles (any amount) of Fairy Wine and Gold Phoenix - 2 scents that raise my spirits for sure! What level of nudity? ANY! we seem to have run out of porno at our house :thud:erotica is lovely! gently used items from a garage sale/thrift store? as long as its useful and clean! Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounces sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out? Love them! No MSG please..since I have a cool spice shoppe in the city, I experiment all the time. Love special salts, herbal blends, not big on spicy (peppery) stuff. My hubby likes cheesy blends for popcorn Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk? love unflavored, delicious decaffeinated green/white/black teas (they are hard to find). Same with coffee - whole bean or ground, just decaf please, darker the better! caffiene makes me ill. Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?) NOMNOMNOMMMMY again, please no MSG, otherwise...nuts (roasted with salt or flavors), dried fruits, non-beef jerky, seeds, gummys, it all has to be wheat-free so no licorice Mixed CDS: yes, indeed - as long as its something I might like. Im very open-minded - just no country, rap, death metal or easy listening - favorite genres include world music, trance/techno, celtic, dark wave, and folk. I also like guided meditations. ETSY similarities: yes - will go with similar item to a sold favorite. If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? I have a PS2, and I ADORE LOVE AM OBSESSED with really intense fantasy role-playing games with really super good stories. How do you feel about marzipan? - LOVE it Fav Candy: Anything but gum and hard candy - love chocolate, gummies, and sour stuff (not kill-you sour!), those choc covered strawberry/raspberry marshmellow eggs, choco covered nuts, etc! snack food: gluten free goodies - potato chip type things, pistachios, cashews, nori seaweed stuff (no wheat) dried fruit: mangoes my fav, cherries,...;-), but freeze dried fruits are cool too! If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be? Byronic Antihero, High Priest Not To Be Described, Fairy Wine Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? AN T-SAMHUINN SOAP - I also wish so much I could somehow magically get a BPTP crew tee Like This , or this one, or even this one! How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not?: Mostly no - but sometimes a little gadget here or there is ok. I give away a lot of stuff - I have a thrift store donation box at all times in my house, and it gets filled up, donated, and then start over. Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like?: Definitely Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? Yes - i resonant a lot with Beatrix Potter, Sara Pezzini, Bugs Bunny, and Joan of Arc Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? I updated my Amazon wishlist - includes some things I've been needing for quite awhile. Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? YES! bearded iris' - Schreiner's (online store) is my all time favorite - amazing beautiful flowers. Also my husband and I both adore sunflowers. Im a seedsaver so in the fall, I go around and sneak flower heads to save their seeds for next tear. My husband LOVES lilies. But we have to grow them outdoors in our short summer cause the leaves are poison to kitties. How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? Some pagan oriented stationary would be nice, but NO pentacles please! -- do like post-its and good writing pens are nice. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Sure, why not - I make this stuff myself - like to try other people's too If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? YES! My scentbase profile is in my sig, along with BPAL wishies. If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Rush how do you feel about mortars and pestles: I have one - and seek a different kind - the flatter ones, if you know what I mean. Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? I make my own candles too, but sometimes have money to spend on others - My favs from Yankee are Autumn Wreath, Autumn leaves, Farmer's Market, Sea Harbor, Witches Brew My favs otherwise - I found an AMAZING orange clove essential oil candle - OMG the best ever. Aloha Bay (chakra scents) is also good, or other Aloha Bay - they make wonderful scents. Phobias: real spiders - fake ones are ok. Dont like clowns or really scary movies either. Girliness level: Wellll...thats a tough one - very changable, but Im a triple Aries, if that helps any! meaning I can be quite forceful and opinionated, but I love romance - cant stand pink stuff, or overly fem stuff - if I get lace, it best be dark or dark colored. If its fem, I prefer it to be dark and gothy or victorian, renaissancy. Hobby craft I'd like to learn: spinning!! I weave, but spinning is it for sure, followed by actual real jewelry-making(with hot soldering stuff) - and I'd love to learn stained glass-making too! Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? The triskele (celtic for body/mind/spirit); Holly & Ivy intertwined, and my animals are Foxes, Coyotes, Wolverines, Cougars, Flickers, and rodents Tee/ bottoms sizes: Tee - prefer XL-XXL cause they shrink; bottoms - XXL-XXXL - can you sing, "Fat Bottomed Girls make the Rockin world go round!" What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? I use many things (have chronic illness) - but my quickie favs are Tiger Balm patches for muscle pain, linden & chamomile tea for soothing, a good movie and a bowl of gluten free cereal or chix rice soup when Im feeling yucky. Socks - oh yes please - fleece ones are awesome, homemade ones are awesome - warm, cozy ones are best! Do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any fiber materials? no wool (sensitive to scratchies) - but alpaca, hemp, bamboo, silk all ok - I love natural fibers best. Colors - choose from my favorite colors list on here.. If I were to send you a gift certificate for something would you rather get a physical gift certificate in the mail? Or would you prefer an electronic one that you can use right away? electronic - must have right away If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be? I'd either be Sara Pezzini as portrayed by Yancy Butler in the Witchblade TV series (1st season, not 2nd), or one of the medieval Queens. If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? I'd head straight to pre-christian ancient Ireland and Scotland - and then over to Greece. I was born WAYYYY too late!!! I would survive quite well without 'modern' society, when barter and trade were the ways of the land, and few people populated the Earth, so the mass-destruction of our environment hadn't happened yet.... COMIC BOOKS: Haven't read them in a LONG time - but I wouldn't throw them away if I received some cool ones - just not into the military oriented characters. Favorite scary book or story: I recall a collection by Ursula K LeGuin being scary but Ive never been able to find it since I was a kid! The kind of scary I like takes me away to that world, and doesnt give me bad dreams - I can think of three series that do that for me: The Mayfair Witch series by Anne Rice (I have hardbound 1st editions of them too ); Stephen R Donaldson Thomas Covenant series (both sets); Tad Williams Shadowmarch series (only have book 1 and would love the other 2) - Oh, I also loved Wolfen . Favorite scary movie: I love good scary sci fi cause it couldn't be real; I can handle any of the Hannibal Lector movies because people are sick puppies in real life. Blood and gore doesn't get to me - its the slashers and jumpiness and scary nasty monsters that give me nightmares. I love Vincent Price, Edgar Allen Poe - GOTHIC is prob one of my fav scary movies, along with Dracula (Langella or Oldman's version). Would you like custom icons as a gift? maybe. If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be? Have always dreamed of a pegasus to be my guide. if you are not in school, is there anything you are trying to learn?: French - to be able to speak it; web page design and HTML/CSS (I know practically nothing!) Do you like the Muppets? Which is your favorite? Love them, miss them - I luv Fozzy bear and the Swedish Chef, and any of the little mice critters.. Will you be going out of town during the round, or is there any other time during the round when it would not be ideal for you to receive a package from your witch? nope! Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart? I'm the astrologer who makes the charts ;-) What animal would your daemon be? Alternately, your patronus. A Fox or a Phoenix Nail Polish: just my toes - unless I come across a miracle formula to keep my fingernails from being damaged after painting them. Love unique colors - My current bottles are an aqua, metallic pumpkin, opalescent ruby red, and one called 'Solar' by Revlon that is SOOO old but I love Stuffed critters - sure. Animals in particular. foxies, wolves, turtles, rodents, bears, even blue jays or coyotes for my hubby. Jane Austen - have not read any - but LOVE the movies - own several of the BBC versions. Tarot - Yes - have several decks - Im kind of falling away from them for divination - I crave the Soul Cards and the Dream Cards. Amazon list has the ones Im still seeking. Guilty TV pleasure: love good movies of all kinds, Project Runway, Top Chef, Chopped, Face-Off, space and ancient history documentaries - and Stargate Destiny. Celebrity crush - eh...if I HAD to pick one, it would be a toss up btwn Robert Redford, Hugh Jackman, and Christian Bale - and Redford would win hands down, old man or not. Knitting: I make socks - rarely, thats all I know how to knit! But Im a weaver, really - I do like to receive things though - need some of those half-finger-wristelet things - whatchamacallits. DVDs: whatever! I have so many loves - see my Swap-bot profile (link in my questionnaire)to see some of my favs. Music: will take either mp3 or CD - tastes run the gamut of world music, celtic, middle eastern, phillip glass, john denver, techno, (think Nick Warren and global underground, not oakenfold), traditonal bluegrass, led zeppelin grateful dead, phish, hendrix, mamas & papas, woody/arlo guthrie, Eleni Mendell, PJ Harvey, Lorenna McKennitt, etc! lip balm: yes Piercings: would love new nostril screw - been wearing the same one since I got it pierced in 1997 Alcohol: yes - listed in my links too - mezcal, tekillya, mead, single malt scotch, Absolut pear, Absinthe, others...whatevah! Artist and art: Bouguereau, Waterhouse, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Corot, Renoir - guess you could say I'm more into classics. Baked goodies - must be Gluten-Free, preferably no canola oil either. Gifts for hubby or kitties are all good - hubby is all natural, into peace, and loves running, minor league baseball, nature, blue jays, birding in general, dogs (especially black labs!), sustainable living - kitties are spoiled, no collars, but love to play and hide in boxes. Groupons - sure if you think I will like it!! Like spa stuff - oh yes! or chocolate - Or something fun

Switch Witch Weenie round 2017, and previous rounds..

New for 2017 is below - will try to update as questions are asked

What are your top three most wanted DC'd or previous LE BPALs?
The High Priest Not To Be Described....Im seeking a bottle even if its empty, and any imps.
Calaveras - imp or bottle. This is one I cant find anywhere.

What are some things you do NOT want to receive?
Lavender! I think I put this on my questionnaire too, but lavender can cause migraines, its sad but true. Books not on my wishlists - just because I have too many and not reading them due to eye issues. Disney stuff, its really not my thing.

9/25/17

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?
I can ALWAYS use post its! And I really need a new long magnetic unlined grocery list pad - I write everything I need on it, and I just used the last sheet on a pad I bought 2 yrs ago. Something with bears or foxes or nature with plenty of area to write.

Would anyone be interested in having any of Abigail Larson's artwork (either as a print or on something, like a pillow, blanket, or t-shirt)? https://society6.com/abigaillarson
Naw I have other fav artists tho

Does anything catch your eye from Ten Thousand Villages? http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/
Too many things! Ask me further if you want specifics.

Would you be into receiving hand made (crocheted, sewn, felted, chain maille, scale, or duct tape, in my case, depending on the item) dishclothes? Scarf/shawl? Hat? Bag? Anything? Colors? (Duct tape, chain maille, and scales come in colors.)
Oh, Ive always wanted a scales wrist cuff or slave bracelet of maille.

Do you collect anything from SBUX like City Mugs, City Mug ornaments, City Cards, or Bearistas? If so, which do you need/want? Or would you like a City Mug or an ornament for fun?
No thanks.

anybody want homemade fudge? I can do chocolate with or without nuts, peanut butter, and butterscotch.
I make my own fudge, so no thanks. Other candy or gf cookies, sure!

do you like spicy foods? I am currently addicted to these suckers and want to send you some buffalo ridged kettle potato goodness (https://www.billygoa...shop/1lb-kicker)
I like habenero, not jalapeno. It doesnt hurt my stomach. Also Im always up for salty savory yumminess, as long as theres no wheat or gluten involved.

what would you like from the Weenies updatus giganticus???
Holy shit, I didnt even know this had happened already!
Apple Butter Rum (and Im not into foodies normally but this sounds luscious!), Dirge, Haunted Seas, Hemophobia, You Fancy Me Mad, The Dead Hour of the Night, Stealthily, Stealthily

Witchees, do you want anything specifically from this page? http://iceweasel.net/switchwitch/

Do you like this beautiful art, and she makes stickers and prints...SOOOO gorgeous: https://www.shannatr...om/paperprints/
This was my question and yes I adore it...

Favorite animals or wild creatures or mythological creatures?
Its a long list, just like my movie list. Bears and foxes and coyotes and wolves and whales and many birds are on the top of my list. I also love pegasus.

Are you interested in anything from Bath & Bodyworks? Which products and scents do you like? www.bathandbodyworks.com/
oh gods no please no. I hold my breath when I walk by that store. It hurts!

I am possibly going to a crystal / gem show tomorrow. I can't afford expensive gem stones, but...
What kind of crystals would you like?
Oh...gee....this is a big part of my life. I have rocks and crystals everywhere. I especially have a lot of large quartz, rose quartz, and selenite. Something kunzite, apophylite, celestite, serphinite....or whatever you see thats inspiring and 'feels' right. Red jasper is really good for me and I cant find my piece.

Pumpkin or Zucchini bread? Either, as long as its gluten free YUM

What kind of homemade cookies are your favorite?
OMG...COOKIES!!!! GIMME ALL THE DAMN COOKIES!!! especially sandwich cookies, butter cookies, Scandinavian style, german style, chewy chocolate chip, more sandwich cookies, french macarons (are those cookies?)

Could you use a muscle rub? (We make ours on the lunar cycle and it has menthol, wintergreen, habanero, cayenne, olive oil, st. john's wort, arnica, beeswax, calendula, and ginger. It tingles. We call it "Thunder Butter". If you have really really super sensitive skin, I would recommend against it. And don't take a hot shower or open all of your pores before using it.)
I would definitely like to try it - my fav muscle rub are the Tiger Balm patches because I generally dont have anyone to rub the balm on me, and the Tiger Balm ULTRA is the best...so I could handle those ingredients.

Interested in trying some of our rose petal (rose petals, sugar, everclear) or lavender vanilla bean (lavender, vanilla bean, vodka) liqueur?
No rose flavored or lavender flavored please. I like to look at and smell and wear my flowers..

Want some honey from the bees on our property?
OMG YES PLEASE - and if you have any honeycomb to spare..even a teeny piece

Would you like some homemade jam? I have blackberry, rose petal, strawberry rhubarb, peach, and cherry.
The fruited ones! Yes please! Sometimes late at night I will eat homemade jam from the jar before bed...

How about some homemade candied jalapenos with garlic cloves? I have regular and with habanero.
I would try them, sure Habenero is my pepper of choice, I dont go too crazy with the jalapeno. Habenero never hurts my stomach for some reason.

I didn't dry any apples this year but I was thinking of heading over to Green Bluff and seeing if any honeycrisps are left. I have a commercial dehydrator so let me know if you are interested in any "Apple Crips" (as voodoocatwoman calls them!) I wash, peel, core, and slice before dehydrating.
That would be lovely, and would add to my dietary lifestyle change.

Do you need any kind of dice bag, tote, project bag, cosmetic bag, pencil bag, or whatever? I have lots of bag patterns and fabric. We make bags under the name Twinkle N Twilight.
Or how about a couple of pillowcases?
Pillow cases!! I need pillow cases! yes - and nature, or space or one of my fandoms would be so awesome!

Harry Potter fans and what house/s do you belong to?
Im half Slytherin and half Gryffyndor - However, Ive been in a much more Slytherin state of mind for awhile now...

do you like to take baths? if so, do you like oils, salts, things that fizz, all of the above, none of the above?
I liketo take baths but the bathtub is small and not deep enough and I get cold which defeats the damn purpose of the damn bath

What style/make/etc of phone do you have? What about size of tablet? Laptop? Would you like decals, skins, or cases for any of these?
I have a ZTE Maven, its old and cheap and I want desperately to get a used Samsung Galaxy 4 or 5. So that the deal there. I have a good shock absorbing case on it.

Do you like Broadway shows/music? If so what are some of your favorites and/or ones that you hope to see or listen to eventually? Would you like merch from your favorite shows or CDs from shows you want to listen to?
One of my favorite CDs is called The Only Broadway CD you'll Ever Need. It has one song each from some of my favorite shows. Im old school. Ilove the original Broadway shows, like The King & I, Oklahoma, Westside Story, etc, etc, etc. Thats my thing

I'm heading to NYCC in October! Is there anything I can get my Witchee while I'm there?
I wish I could eat gluten because egg bagels and everything bagels from new york are sooo missed! Otherwise, this may be a stretch, but some other gluten free jewish bakery thing, or something from The Cathedral of St John The Divine (I have a small mouse replica I bought there when I visited in 1995), something pretty, accessories or jewelry from Orchard Street - something gothic from anywhere

I'm going to Edmonton Expo this weekend (It's Edmonton's version of comic con). Would a witchee like anything from there?
Im not sure

Anything catch your eye from this site (globalgirlfriend.com)?
Oh MY!! I LOVE these kinds of goods. The bracelets, rings, lip balms and some soap

Do you have any favorite, lesser-known stores? Especially ones that sell hand-crafted or independently made items.
ETSY is a biggie. I have a wishlist there thats huge. My ETSY shop link is in the stalking database

Imagine you're going to the most gigantic art & craft show imaginable, and money is no object - what kind of things would you gravitate towards and probably spend money on? Include as specific as you want to get!
At the moment, sturdy, thick potholders are a need! No knitted or crocheted ones, Im tired of getting burned. Also would look at candles with natural scents, non-coconut oil soaps and lip balms, canned and gluten free baked goods, cute animal art and figures, useful handmade wood kitchen implements, handmade copper or silver rings n pendants, gothic things

9/19/17

Are you interested in anything from Think Geek? http://www.thinkgeek.com
I have a wishlist, i think i posted the link in stalking database
Do you have something you wish you put on your original questionnaire/forgot to put/would like to add on to?
Yes, I love French macarons! Also, NO ZOMBIE anything! Including Frankenstein. I dont understand the obsession.

Any additional misc. information about yourself you want your Witch to know? (I think this was on the survey, but again if there's something that you forgot...)
I dont know what to add!

If you could decorate your house (or one room) in any one theme, what would it be? 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 think gypsy celtic gothic bordello would apply.
Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting?
I do when I remember. What I really need is a nice heavy duty utilitarian one for crafting, and particularly tie dye. To cover from chest to knees.

BTW, would my witchee be interested in something like this? (photo of black and white striped knitted doll)
Hmm, that doesnt really appeal to me at all.
It seems like there's a question about socks on the questionnaire, but I don't think it got down to this level: Do you wear them? Any particular style (crew length, knee high, anklet, boot, etc.) or fiber (wool, cotton, bamboo anything but wool, etc.) preference?
I love warm, soft, thick socks for winter, and winter is 8 months of the year! So yeah, socksies are a big deal. scratchy wool or acrylic not my favorite. I wear anklet athletic socks whe I can walk and get the tennies on, I wear slipper socks with the little rubber pads on the bottom whenever I can get them, its not easy, I love mid weight socks for inside boots, and fluffy socks for lounging around the house. I would love to get over the knee socks for some kind of sexy outfit with a black mini...still trying to develop a couple outfits that would work in an underground bdsm club, but I havent done this before so Im a bit...erm...challenged...

Would you be open to previously-loved books?
Sure. Most of my books are used. I have a paperbackswap list besides Amazon and Goodreads. Actually though, Im trying to get into audible books because the illness makes reading hard most of the time.

What about partial-full bottles of BPAL or BPTP?
Oh of course!! Since I am easily overpowered by scents, I always go light, so partials are great by me!

So what are your favorite fandoms?
Game of Thrones (House Stark, Targarryan (sp?), the wolves, the ships); Firefly, Tolkien (beyond the movies, Im talking Silmarillion), D&D, Mouseguard, Battlestar Gallactica, Witchblade (from the tv series)

9/17/17

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!
Sadly lavender is now a migraine trigger due to ODing on the essential oil years ago. BOO. Other herbs and flowers are wonderful, as is cheese, olives, dishes, wooden kitchen utensils, handwoven things, candles......

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)? Is there a new type of #divination you've been meaning to try, and if so, are you looking for the tool, a book on the subject, or both?
As far as tools and such, I am considering getting back into working with the angelic realm. Im also neodruid, so green man and celtic and norse deities. Im also going through menopause and Im not finding the passage to croning that awesome. In fact Im cursing it. So...take that however you want. Also believe a lot in sacred geometry, chaos and order, and REALLY wanting someone to draw a tattoo design I have in my mind.

World my Witchee be interested in a Tarot or Astrology reading done personally?
Im an astrologer, and YES, I would LOVE an astrology reading.

Does my Witchee need any magical supplies?
Things to get me inspired to get back into the angelic realm...something focused on working with the Kabbalah thats not a book...things along those lines. Statues of Green man, and greek, celtic deities. I have several CDs on my Amazon wishlist that are directly related to sacred geometry and have wanted them a long time.

Would you be interested in any of the seasonal (or regular) soaps from Cellar Door Soap (https://cellardoorbathsupply.com)?
Jeebus! How many new companies are there?? YES!!! I"D LOVE Samhain hard cider!! Also Haunted Woods, October Road, and Zombie repellent sound awesome!

Favorite gemstones?
Kunzite, Larimar, aquamarine, ruby, garnet, amber, jet(not onyx), moonstone

If you enjoy jewelry do you like discrete and elegant, flashy and gaudy, small and light, or large and chunky?
I like artsy, elegant, light, flashy...depends on the jewelry and the stone. My style is a single precious stone pendent on a sterling silver chain thats at least 20-24 inches in length. Pendants I wear are generally 1-2" in length and width. Rings are celtic, or have gemstones in floral or animal or insect motifs. Bracelets are also sterling silver with gemstones or copper. I do like enamal art and unique and interesting pieces make me happy too. I am not into costume jewelry.

Any love of pirates or SCA? I AM a pirate SO yes, MUCH LOVE of pirates, and give me ALLL the pirate things!!!

Is there anything you would like from Disney World? Um....trying to think...My two favorite recent movies I'd love something for would be Doctor Strange and the Beauty & The Beast remake. A Doctor Strange something that I could wear would be awesome. Something with the sacred geometry symbols, his cape,...etc. For beauty and the beast, something romantic and artistic that isnt a screenshot from the movie. Thats the best I can say.

9/15/17

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? Probably not. Ive stopped decorating right now due to upheaval on the home front.

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? I kinda do but dont mind getting gluten free TJs goodies. Im really not huge on pumpkin spice everything either. Give me real pumpkin pie anyday.

Do you like to cook and/or bake? Could you use any specific ingredients (spices, oils, salts, extracts, etc.) or kitchen utensils/gadgets? I need a veggie spiralizer to help me with increasing healthy plant based eating. its on my amazon wishlist. I have a cheap handheld verson but Im often too exhausted to use it.

I'm at Ocean City MD for bike week......would a witches want anything from here? Bike or beach related?? Something kinky and leather or with chains Is that legit?

Only semi sweet meads or semi sweet country wines. I make mead.

Would you be interested in a set of hand-made hair falls? It's something I do for fun and I can make any length and do an array of colors!
Sure! I think I wrote my fav color combos, but 3 of my fav combos 1) dark indigo, forest green, purple 2) Black and silver 3) opalescent mother of pearl oil slick colors. My hair is below shoulder length, very curly, thin, dry, but looks fuller than it is, so...

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?
I think it varies by my mood. Some years Im feeling more light hearted, others Im braver and go scary, a'la Vincent Price and 1980s and before scary flicks. Practical Magic is one of my top fav movies, and Hocus Pocus and The Witches are two that I like. Im not big into Tim Burton like everyone else. Fan-made merch - would depend on what it was

My favorite milk chocolates are from See's(!!) (apricot delight, cashew brittle bite, bordeaux, strawberry cream, truffles) Seattle Chocolates, Milka with kirsch & cream filling, hazelnut filling, Lindt truffles, Divine, Ritter.

Yes

Yankee Candle has some scents I can handle and really like, especially the Fir and evergreen scents, autumn wreath, apple strudel, stargazer lily, tulip, spearmint. If those brands arent available, as long as its not an artificially scented candle, Im willing to try many other natural candle brands!

I am overwhelmed with handknit winter things. I could use some very thick, sturdy pot holders. And Im open to being surprised too

If you could be ANY character from a film, TV show or book, who would it be and why?
I'd be a high elf or Numenorean from Tolkien's world. Why? Because honor and loyalty and courage were real things.
I'd also be Arya Stark - because she is loyal, savvy, intelligent, skilled, and can totally protect herself with any sharp weapon of choice.
Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly would also appeal to me, for similar reasons as the other.

If you could hop into a time machine and travel anywhere/anytime, where would it be and why?
This would be extremely scary, but I would want to travel 500 and 1000 years into the future - to see what had become of humanity and this planet. To see if we had progressed to the realm of Star Trek Federation status, or deteriorated to dystopian hell.

Heaven forbid I try anything else! Im WAY overloaded with projects piled up that I need time and energy for.

ILNP yes or no - Yesplease!! I dont have any good nail polish since its been so long since I wore any. I LOVE the holos, especially Mega S, CityScape, Open Fields and the chromes.
Do you enjoy stationery? I'm thinking cute/quality notebooks, washi tape, stickers, fun pens etc. the tape would be fun, but I dont really need any of the other things.

Are you interested in anything from Cocoa Pink?
- Or Haus of Gloi? Not too familiar with either, but I might be interested, yes! especially if they have Halloween or Autumn releases.

Would you be interested in a Halloween wreath? The first one is more my style - something dark and gothic. no cutesy. I like to slightly shock the ultra conservative christians in my area.

Are you interested in anything from the Moonalisa Halloween update? I love her butter rich creams, dusting powder (Essence of Slug ), lip balm (rum & ginger ), My favorite is Sea Witch its so hard to find! No foody scents, theyre too overpowering.

Would you like something from Nui Cobalt Designs? Or maybe some of Christina's lovely Halloween candles at Sihaya & Co.? I love Nui Cobalt jewelry but can never afford it. Ive gotten her rolled candles before.. I follow Sihaya but havent tried any yet either. Willing to try both.

How would you feel about receiving a hand-painted container for your bpal and/or other treasures?

Dear Witch, I answered all the questions of 1-12 in the thread

All kinds as long as they dont have wheat in them, Im good.

14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom?
I love Firefly, Lost Girl, Witchblade, LOTR/Tolkien, and lots more. I have a Pinterest page, and I also post all kinds of crap on my Facebook page.

15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends.
Well, just so you know ahead of time, I pretty much say all kinds of stuff on my FB page, because its the one area I can connect with my friends. So if you are easily offended, probably best not. Otherwise, sure.

16. Anybody interested in something from RCCC, whether it's con-exclusive merch or from a particularexhibitor or artist? no idea!

17. How important to you is regular contact / chatter with your witch? important. I'd say every 10 days or so is good.

18. Do you like puzzles/riddles/treasure hunts and that sort of thing? yes! Love treasure hunts too!

19. If you were to receive music, would you want a physical CD or digital versions? Either is fine

20. What’s a current problem/annoyance you have that could be remedied but you haven’t had time to address it? I badly need to clean this couch that we got for free. has all kinds of unknown stains on it. Also need to BADLY spot clean the livingroom carpet ARGH

21. How do you feel about having some sort of trinket to carry around for good luck/wishes? i.e. a small figurine, symbol, card, coin… sure...I have specific things like that now. I adore Feng Shui fixes and tokens to help with health or prosperity too. My ThinkGeek wishlist has a certain coin I would love too

22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations? hmmm...interesting question. Feng shui superstitions are the ones I always think of, but then I dont see them as superstitions. The worst Feng Shui offender is anything spiky, pointy, etc, because it would have to be covered up. I also dont like having political crap.

23. For the vegetarians and vegans: How do you feel about things (say, marshmallows or gummy candy) made with vegan gelatin or other typically-animal-derived-but-not-in-this-instance products?

26. How do you feel about Christmas/Yule ornaments? I like them, especially if unique.

27. How do you feel about Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty accessories (including mugs, cups, etc)? eh...not so much, though I do love those mini kawaii stickers and accessories.

28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study? Water color painting or figure drawing!! I NEED to learn figure drawing, and reading books on it just doesnt do it. I need a hands on class. I can draw all kinds of things, but not people.

29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like?
Shakespeare, G. Byron, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, etc

30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character? hrm, so-so...

31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories? (Example: Would you enjoy this stationery - or do you prefer elegant/creepy/neutral stuff?) I am more into nature stuff.

32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!" some jewelry from my ETSY wishlist? ThinkGeek wishlist stuff! Some amazing chocolate? Something she/he made just for me? A full blown letter about my witch's life etc.., something from Amazon wishlist? Something from BPAL wishlist? it's really hard to say.

33. Go to your music source of choice - on random or shuffle setting if possible - & share with us the 10 most recent songs/artists.
Oracle - Michael Hedges

Bliss - Phish
Angles of the Ivory Coast - Mkono
Tea in the Sahara - Police
The World I Know - Collective Soul
Give Me One Reason - Tracy Chapman
Force Ten - Rush
Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Nirvana
Gumboots - Paul Simon

34. Tarot cards, rune stones and/or other divination tools yay or nay? too many...but I do want to make my own ogham sticks some day.

35. Do you have a Celeb crush? or someone who you just can't get enough of....other than your SO
I had a problem with a crush on Robert Downey Jr for awhile

36. Glitter? are you okay with it, or hate it like the plague? LOVE it

37. If there was another time period other than now that described your style/aesthetics, what would it be? Pioneer days, Victorian england, tribal days of the ancient picts

38. If you had to pick one or two quotes to live by, what would it be and why?
We are what we repeatedly do - Aristotle (not the exact phrasing but close, I sign all my emails with that - its a potent reminder to constantly live my ethics and values.)

39. Do you prefer physical books? CD books? eBooks? If eBooks do you have preferred format, kindle/nook/kobo/PDF/ePub/ect? eAudio? physical books.

40. Smut! Yes or no? If yes, what kink, er, kind? sure not into BDSM

41. Ebooks! Yes or no? naw

42. If you were to get a custom bottle from House of Gloi made for you what notes would create your perfect blend? My last witch did this for me

43. If your witch were to take a photograph (or paint or whatever) of something just for you, what would it be? Landscape? Flower? Critter? Something to illustrate a favorite quote?

nature and wildlife...cant go wrong!

44. What is your favorite Halloween animal or other symbol/decoration?

45. Makeup, especially of the indie variety. Nail polish, nail wraps, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss, etc. Y/N? Specific preferences (color, finish, product, brand, etc.)?

Ahhhh, makeup!! Makeup Forever (#1) Urban Decay, Benefit. Vapour Organic Beauty has the only foundation and concealer I will ever use again! I have been jonesing to try Jamberry nailwraps or similar since nail polish ruins my nails (though I have a color on my Amazon w/l I really want). My fav beauty products are Makeup Forever mascara (the best! and Im almost out, btw), Urban Decay eye shadows, liquid liners, and I need a new eyebrow thingy, Brow-tech To Go. I also love all natural lip balms without coconut oil in them (they dry out my lips).

46. How do you feel about profanity and off-color humor?

If it's a'la George Carlin or Robin Williams or Monty Python or Mel Brooks, count me in

47. Are there any GC scents that you know you love, but for whatever reason, keep putting off buying bottles of?
Ranger, Druid, Good, Chaotic, Fairy Wine, ?

unknow, I've never tried any.

49. I'm in Japan, anything specific you might want from the land of the rising sun?
Cosplay accessories that are unique to there, snacks of all kinds, nature items, small ceramic rice bowls...

50. Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in? If so, go look at the Southwest sale for routes and dates and times.

OMG yes!! yes yes yes. Either just me or husband too? I have a slew of places I need to go and also want to go, but we just never have the money for such huge expense as plane tickets.

51. If you are ok with receiving t-shirts, what size are you, do you prefer tissue tees, normal crew tees, babydoll etc?

I prefer XL-XXL, especially because I wear tees ALL THE TIME< and they end up shrinking from lots of washing. Tissue tees are cool, regular crew is cool...I just hate those women's styles with cap sleeves or no sleeves.

52. ThinkGeek??
YES - I just got another ThinkGeek email with featured new stuff *sigh* since Im sitting sick in bed I decided to make a wishlist, what the heck. I love too many things on there, but my focus is primarily Firefly, Star Trek, and Dungeons & Dragons.

53. New Question! Does anyone here LARP? If so, what kind of LARP? And what kind of character do you play?

I want to LARP so badly!! my character in planning phase is either a renegade drow or a hunter ranger.

How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? as long as it's wheat free, I LOVE convenient things that make food cooking easier - Im not feeling good most days by dinnertime, and cooking dinner is a chore because of it.

My kitties also love treatzies Marzipan? YUM Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin "paper" towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter? YES! Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail? are you kidding?? YES! what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? Lord of the Rings & Game of Thrones & Stargate UNIVERSE are the only Fandoms I can think of...teefury looks pretty kewl..sure. Do you have an eReader and if so which one? No Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?

Generally, spicy, orange, appley scents are good, as are essential oils, or pine/fir/cedar/juniper What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurants? Oh seriously theres too many to name. I am a World-food lover...favs are Vietnamese, Japanese, Ethiopian, Mediterranean, Scottish, and Italian - and fresh seafood! Restaurants include local ones, not too many chains. I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? dunno! maple syrup/sugar? surprise me! [Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? I am open to homemade goodies when good hygiene is used (sorry, had to say that). I have a compromised immune system, so other people's germs do damage. I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! Let's sayTarget, cause I boycott Sprawlmart Thats easy. I'd go to the clearance sections for bathroom, bedding, kitchen, and housewares. Never have enough $ to keep us in decent linens. I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? OMG...Trader Joe's has amazing gluten free snacks...so YES PLEASE Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example) I love seasonings...LOVE. Especially unique salts, or flavored sugars. Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? well, if you can find a pair in 2XL, lol Halloween themed are especially loved!! What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? YUM to Milk Chocolate - my Fav bars are by Divine, Dagoba, Chocolove, and Endangered Species...Hersheys/Mars is WAY down on the list, but will do in a pinch. Godiva, and Mrs. See's are awesome (See's favs include cashew brittle, butterscotch squares, apricot delights, and any of their truffles) Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things? yes, if its gluten free...I found gluten free grahams, and used hershey bars and marshmallows one time. What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom. Besides all the lovely swappers I've met over the years on swap-bot and here on BPAL, and all the amazing extra goodies they've sent, one that will always stand out is when Ted sent me a Tee and with it came some frimps in a black velvet bag of scents that were only available at special events, and one wasn't even released. I always think about the NOLA way of doing business with a lagniappe and all my packages include one.
