2/12

I love to decoupage/collage boxes and notebooks. If you were my witchee, would you like one? What colors/themes would you want it to have? Find cute pictures--inspire me (and other crafty witches)! I would love boxes. Of any kind! Of any theme! I have seen some gorgeous ones posted on the forum, CaudaPavonis does some lovely ones.

2/8

Are there any books you particularly want to read that you don't mind being 2nd hand (or 3rd or 4th )? I can't think of any that I am particularly longing for, but I do have an Amazon wish list. And I would prefer 2nd, 3rd hand, books are so expensive and I am kind of hard on them since I just throw them in my bag & carry them around. I also have a kindle, so those can't be 2nd hand But I am interested in lots of stuff, so.... I am happy to take any books at all!

Do you like gardening,growing vegetables, house plants? Need any small tools, seeds, labels? I would love to grow things. But, I have the black thumb that seems to be so common on this board. Any that I manage to keep alive, the Kat seems determined to kill. She will break them, knock them off tables (repeatedly until they die). I end up feeling bad for the plants.

Are there any soundtracks you'd be interested in getting a copy of? Original movie soundtrack of "Guys and Dolls" with Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando. None of the others compare. I can't think of any others right now.

 

2/7

Do you have any personal heroes / heroines and why?

Are there any languages or countries that you're really interested in? Pretty much all of Europe.... I love England, France, Italy... there is so much to see that I hope to see one day.

If you could be in any fictional universe, what would it be? (Harry Potter, Firefly, Lord of the Rings, Silent Hill, wtv.)

 

2/6

If you were a student at Hogwarts, what house would you be in?

I'm a space junky. Love anything galaxy, space, star, etc related. I'm even getting a milky way tattoo one day. And I am a total Star Trek geek. Anyone else? Stars are pretty.

(I don't believe that this is actually a question, I think there was discussion about it and then SultryWolf randomly bolded it and people started answering it so I'll put it here for reference but I just can't get behind this question) Severed fingers?

If you like tea, what are your favorite kinds? Fruity, sweet, chai, plain, black, green, red, white? I like tea. I am not a huge chai fan, so that would be wasted on me... my favorite is the Good Earth Original Sweet and Spicy. The kind with caffeine, although I have trouble finding it and just brew the herbal kind in a cup with a black tea bag. I like Earl Grey too, or Peppermint, or.... it just depends on my mood, but I always have the Sweet and Spicy and some Peppermint around.

What's your Patronus? Non-Potter fans, what's your Spirit Animal? Hmmm.... don't really know. Small, fluffy white dog?

 

2/5

How do you feel about handmade stuffed animals? I would love them!

Are there any accessories you'd really like? (Keychains, little purses, etc.) I always have several little bags in my very large purse, helps with the illusion of being able to find things! So, little purses like change purses, little teeny makeup bags, that type of thing is great. I am good with keychains, unless you find a really cool one.

What are your favorite animals? I like all animals, the fluffier the better. Baby animals are great, I love the photos I've seen recently of the baby owls looking all fluffy and trying to be fierce.

Is there anything you've had to give up that you really miss or want back? Maybe something a witch could help out with? Years and years ago, a roommate stole a cross that I had that had belonged to my mom (she died when I was 17). I never got it back. A coin collection that belonged to my father that "disappeared" when my aunt (his sister!) was helping go through his house.

 

 

2/4

Are you opposed to vegan baked goods? Or baked goods in general? I love baked goods, pretty much of any kind. And from what I understand, vegan baked goods rock.

What's your favourite flower? Lilacs, butterfly bush, pansies, grape hyacinth.... there are lots. For some reason, they are all purple today.

For those that have dogs, if I were to knit them a sweater, what colour would you like it to be? As cute as he is, Nemo does NAWT like clothes. Even though I dress him up for Halloween every year. But a sweater would be much appreciated (by me) (and I will take pictures). Any color is good!

Lip balm: Yay or nay? If yay, what are your favorite kinds (brands, consistency, whatever)? Yay! Much, much yay! I love Burt's Bee's pomegranate one for the scent and the consistency, and it seems to work really well on me. I am looking for one that has that kind of "hard" consistency & a wonderful scent/flavor but will add a little color to my very pale lips.

 

2/3

I custom mix nail polish, a process called 'frankening'. If you were my witch, would you enjoy a custom 'franken', based on whatever colors/theme you chose? I had never heard of this, but when I looked it up, that is really cool! I am very impressed by the Franken-polish.

Since everyone is spending the same amount of money on this swap, would you be interested in seeing the cost breakdown of each item in your package? Nah, not necessary. I am very proud of a couple of the things I have figured out for my Witchee, but don't need to see a breakdown. But if there is something you are really proud of getting a great bargain on, share away!

Do you like keys? I do! I like old, ornate keys, not necessarily in jewelry, I have seen really pretty keys with a tassel attached hung as a decoration, and like that idea a lot.

Do you like guessing who your witch is, or would you prefer to know? Do you mind knowing? I don't mind either way. Whatever my Witch chooses is great by me - the thread moves too fast for me to try to keep track, though.

If it's going to be obvious who your witch is, would you rather she played the ninja and sent one big box at the end, or smaller packages along the way? Again, whatever my witch chooses is great. For me, I can't think of anyone who would be "obvious" - but that may just be me being oblivious.

What color are your eyes? Chocolate Brown. or darker.

If you had to choose a color for a nightie to sleep in what color would it be? I ususally just sleep in t shirt and undies, or t shirt/sweat pants

 

2/2

Would you like or accept an energetically-charged item or gift? Something that had power poured into it? If so, do you have a particular purpose that you'd prefer? (Love, protection, money, etc.) I think this would be awesome & wonderful and would like this even if it is not a part of a sw round. I need love, money and health.

Do you have any significant upcoming events in your life you'd like something for? A child/yourself graduating from high school/college? Are you buying a new home or car soon? Moving in with someone/getting married? Taking a new job? Moving to a new part of the country/world? Nah. Same old, same old.

Ooooh! BPAL's beloved alicia_stardust is having a contest! If you're my Witchee, would you like a chance to win these earrings? I made sure to answer this on the thread as well, those are beee-yoooo tiful and I love them.

How are we feeling about burlesque? Burlesque, okay, but not really into it.

Is there anything you're lusting after in the Villainess update? Everything sounds lovely.... but I am waiting for Birth Rite to come back. And I really want to try Slick.

 

1/26-2/1

What is everyone's take on Valentine's Day? Meh.

New question--I'm calling this "could never happen in a million years":

Your Witch is perusing the wares at a local yard sale. S/he looks down and sees [insert impossibly rare item that you've always wanted but could never afford] with a $5-10 sticker on it. Sheepishly s/he takes it to the guy behind the folding table. "Do you know what this is?" s/he inquires. The gentleman states that it belonged to his mother/sister/grandmother/Great Aunt Beulah and he thinks it's for, like, hair or something. With a trembling hand, s/hes pays the man and heads home with the inconceivable riches.

So, what is this unobtainable miracle your Witch found?

Do you like salted caramels?

Imagine that someone hands you their wallet and sends you into a really good bakery. They have everything, from breads to brownies, cookies to croissants, anything you could imagine, and you're allowed to pick out five things for yourself. What do you pick?

It gets asked every round but sockdreams?

Do you like alcoholic beverages? If so, what is your preference (beer, wine, liquor...)?

Are you into steampunk?

 

 

 

 

 

Bakery : Chocolate almond croissant - I used to get wonderful ones and can't find them anymore.

Really crusty bread with lots of creamy butter

Lemon tart

German chocolate cake

Dense, chewy bread made with cheese

 

Soap/Paintbox: I love soaps, and I love Paintbox Soapworks! Tarty's soaps are awesome, and both of the V-Day ones look wonderful.

 

Alcohol: I like red wine, and sweet liqueurs - Kaluha, Baileys, Tuaca, in that vein. (Things you can mix with coffee or hot chocolate, I guess!)

 

Tea/coffee/hot chocolate: I love them all! I like all kinds of regular and herbal teas, although I am not a huge chai fan. Coffee is great in just about any form, as is hot cocoa.

 

Recipes: I would love recipes! For really anything.

 

Posters/Pictures/Art: I'm kind of picky about the larger things I have, but small pictures would be great! I love nature pictures, animals or not, and architectural details from buildings - the detail of a carving, for example. Or unique buildings or features.

 

Steampunk: I am kind of meh about this. I like some of the jewelry and things, but not to an obsession!

 

Salted Caramels: Never tried any!

 

Sock dreams: They have really cute things! I have heard lots of good things about them.

 

 

 

& Ithought of another kind of candy I like that I would love you forever if you find them.... I used to be able to buy these candys that were roasted almond, dipped in a thin toffee layer, then dipped in milk chocolate. Then rolled in cocoa powder. They were fabulous, and I think the store that I bought them in made them. And then they closed.
