Which flavors are you interested to try from the Chocolate Research Facility?

 

Ooo, they have so many! I generally like chocolate with nuts and caramel, and especially marzipan.

 

Do you wear makeup or nail polish? Need brushes, containers, storage, mani/pedi supplies? What colors and brands do you like?

 

I don't wear makeup other than lip gloss, and my last SW stocked me up on that. I don't usually wear nail polish either since I have to wear gloves at work and wash my hands a million times a day... it doesn't hold up well.

 

Do you like shiney hanging porch decorations like windchimes or those things that spin and swirl in the wind?

 

I am sadly without a porch.

 

Hair adornments?

 

My hair doesn't really "do"... it's all slippery and doesn't like to stay in a style so the closest I get to an adornment is the occasional black elastic band holding it in a pony tail.

 

Is there any infomercial product you're dying to try even though you know it probably sucks?

 

Thankfully I've managed to avoid infomercials.

 

What are your favorite websites (besides this one, and the online shops you listed in your questionnaire)?

 

ravelry.com

 

We have so many talented witches and they really need to promote themselves more so, if you made something by hand for a previous witchee or have an etsy store or some other outlet for hand made goods, will you post it here with pictures or links? Or, if you want to brag on a previous witch's talent, this is the place for that as well.

 

I made socks for my last witchee, and have done a few for PIF too. I've also swapped knitting for other crafty skills and would be willing to do so again. I don't have an etsy shop since nothing is pre-made (nor would I normally sell my knitting, it just takes too long!) But if you're on Ravelry I'm stariel on there too. Or you can see most of my knitting on my flickr - here's the 2008 Sock Set.

 

As for previous witches, my witch syrenemyst made me some awesome BPAL boxes!

 

If you could make your perfect scent (or at least most desired at the moment!) what would be in it?

 

Hmm... orange blossom, since that is the note that seems to be in many of my loved scents. And after that I don't know. Something sweet and fruity.

 

So I have a question for the witchees, and hopefully mine will answer as well...In trying to decide what to fix for dinner, I thought that I've received some great recipes from friends (particularly the culinary mastermind that is scotchgrrl). I also have a few great recipes of my own. So would anyone like to receive some original, or very much loved recipes from his/her witch?

 

I'd be happy to receive any vegetarian recipes.

 

List things you DO NOT need any more of:

 

*note that for all of the following if it is something really special (handmade by you or someone you know, really awesome etailer) I'd be happy to receive it, it's just stuff I don't need in general

 

lip gloss (my last SW set me up for a while!)

shower gels / soaps

blank books / journals

 

Is there something that would offend you if you received it in your mail/gift/email)? (as in profanity, a bad words in an email/card/music ... or a card or something with a scantily dressed man/woman pictured on it, crude/immature humor tshirts, etc ...)

 

Hmm... Well I'm not all that easy to offend, but most of these things just aren't really my style. Profanity is ok in music if you think I'll love the music, otherwise it's best to avoid. Scantily dressed people of either gender don't really offend me, but they're also not my cup of tea. And crude/immature humor just isn't funny to me. In fact, most of the things that are supposed to be funny aren't to me. I think I just have a very odd / dry sense of humor. But certainly none of these on a t-shirt!

 

What do you like to snack on?

 

Kettle Korn, I'm obsessed. Other than that mostly beverages - I'm a big fan of coffee milk tea and Thai iced tea this time of year, and chai during the winter.

 

What is the color scheme you use most when you decorate?

 

Blue, blue, and blue. Yeah, mostly everything around here is blue, other than the walls which are beige but not by my choice.

 

If you have music or DVD's on your wishlist, do you mind getting a burned copy? How about if it is original packaging but previously used? Or do you only want it new?

 

Used is fine, but I'd rather not have a burned copy. I like to have the artwork for CDs and DVDs.

 

Who is your favorite artist? What are some of your favorite pieces of their work?

 

This is such a tough question! I am a fan of Escher and some of the less weird Dali paintings - I used to have a poster of one with butterflies and their shadows. And Starry Night, for obvious reasons.

 

Are you a candles person, incense person, or just a BPTP spritzer for room scents?

 

Candles are great, I'm not a big fan of incense, and I've never had BPTP room sprays.

 

What is your favorite latin or faux latiny phrase?

 

I don't think I have one!

 

How are you doing for BPAL storage? Need any boxes?

 

My last SW made me some beautiful boxes, but I wouldn't mind some more imp storage.

 

Is there any place you've visited where you feel like you left your heart there?

 

Norway. I studied abroad there in college and still have friends that I keep in contact with occasionally. I hope to go back and visit soon.

 

What one item would you just love to have that is made by a Switch Witch?

 

Hmm... another hard question. I'll probably appreciate almost anything made by my witch!

 

Is your abode a palace covered in fur, a disaster area ,or a neat freaks delight?

 

Currently it's a fur-covered disaster area, but now that I have a new vacuum and will have weekends off work it should be getting better.

 

Are there any phobias you have that you absolutely, positively, do NOT want anything from your witch referencing?

 

Not phobias really, but I'm not a fan of clowns.

 

Are you a good witch or a bad witch?

 

I'd like to say I'm a bad witch, but I'm a total goody two shoes.

 

What kind of a car do you drive and would you want something you could use in your car? Rear view mirror charms, steering wheel covers (a new thinkg for the knitters ), car blessing medicine bags

 

I don't have a car, so no car things necessary.

 

Do you want to know when you have something coming in the mail, or would you rather it be a complete surprise?

 

Either way is fine. I don't really care much about surprises so if you want to warn me I'd be glad to know.

 

What is your mailbox situation?

 

I have a small locking mailbox but most packages won't fit in there - my mail carrier usually just leaves them outside my door. If the package is meltable and it's possible you might want to try to time it to arrive on a Saturday. Or I'm sure there's a way to mark it not to leave? Then I'll have to go retrieve it at the PO, but that's fine with me.
