******9/10*****

Are you interested in things like home remedies for ailments, cleaning solutions, etc.?

Yes Please! I'm always interested in recipes and the like for remedies and cleaning solutions, though I'm partial to making them myself and not getting some that are premade. I really like to know what is in my stuff

If you do any kind of craft, could you use supplies? What kind? knitting needles, yarn, amazing fabric, pinking shears, cool thimbles or pincushins, jewelery making supplies, beads, etc.?

I could always use more yarn, or fabric. I'm a beginner knitter (yay!) and a really really beginner sew-er. I love unique yarns and hand spun yarns I also don't have much in the way of sewing supplies, like pins, pincushins, measuring tapes, fabric pens ect.

What's your favorite pain-relief remedy or ritual?

Usually an advil or two depending on strength and I'm good to go. I also like grr for minor headaches. If it's a migraine that I didn't get early enough with the advil I have to lay down and sleep. I have to have a cool-cold face cloth over my eyes and forehead in complete darkness. I've always wanted one of those flax pillows for over the eyes. You can freeze them or warm them up, and sometimes they have lavender in them. One of those would be amazing, considering how often I can get headaches.

Do sounds make you happy? What ambient noises make you smile?

Very much so, I love the sound of my luna cat chirping, nascar stock cars, guitars, (usually in a rock sound ) David Bowie's voice, bands such as Carbon Leaf, Kings of Leon, Hinder. I love the rain on a roof, distant thunder storms, a gentle stream bubbling, a fire crackling, waves crashing against a shore.

When you receive your SW packages...do you like receiving things that are individually wrapped inside? or unwrapped? or both?

I love either way. I would prefer if my witch would wrap items in scraps of cloth rather then paper, but items don't need to be wrapped at all

Of course, we're all going to be grateful no matter what our witches give us, but for the record, what is your anti-present? Tell us something that you think your future witch might give you that you absolutely, unequivocally DO. NOT. WANT.

Please no coffee, it will be wasted on me.

What BPAL scent have you never tried but always wanted to? What scent have you tried and LOVED, and haven't been able to get more of and why?

I've always wanted to try Crumpet Rebellion and Orange, though I doubt I'll ever get a chance to. As for not being able to get more, I can't really think of one at the moment. Though I have been having a hard time tracking down imps of Bliss and Eclipse, even though they're GC.

I know we're all scent sensitive here. What are your favorite non-perfume smells? Day in the life stuff?

Garlic and onions sauteing in a pan with some olive oil, fresh BREAD! apple cider simmering on the stove, fresh herbs from my mum's garden, my puppy! Most home cooking, a camp fire, the ocean, fallen leaves in the fall, Cajun food cooking, Horses, crisp air in autumn just as the weather begins to change, mint bubble gum

Coffee drinkers, what types of beans to you like? Kona, Sumatra, Kenya..etc. How do you like them roasted? Do you like flavors, such as hazelnut, vanilla, etc. in your coffee?

I don't drink coffee, so none for me thanks

Who has a birthday falling in this round?

Not I, just my 1 year anniversary with DH on Sept 22nd.

For those of us who like chocolate, do you like anything /in/ your chocolate, like fruit, nuts, or for the more daring among us, chilies?

I like fruit creams (just not strawberry or coconut), green tea cream, I'm always up for trying new things. I'd love to try bacon in chocolate!

Are there any childhood shows/movies/games/books/etc. that still hold a really special place in your heart?

Probably too many to list, but Labyrinth is one, are you afraid of the dark?, there are probably more but I can't think of them right now... LOL!
