what interests you from the latest lab update? My wish list is completely up to date. If anything, it's so much fun messing with it, it's probably TOO utd!

How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? Gel pens or fountain pens are both favorites, and elegant stationery.

Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Sure! Not too spicy, though.

If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Any amount is wonderful Testable sniffies, imps, partial bottles, empty bottles...

Would you like something you have to make yourself? Depends. A small cross stitch kit or kid-level craft would be fun. I enjoy it, but I'm not the most accomplished crafter out there (massive understatement time)

Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you?

Either way would be wonderful, witch. The amount of effort and love that goes into something you make yourself is inspiring, but as someone who has felt the regret of just not being able to make it, bought is awesome too.

Who is your favorite soap etailer? Don't really know, haven't bought much soap online. Willing to try if you have samples or make soap yourself, sounds fun.

What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Too afraid of clutter, but it's a nice thought.

With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? A bunch of small packages sounds so cool. Just getting a package makes my day, almost without regard to what's actually in it. But as always, whatever works best for you!

What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? Mineral makeup/Sephora. I like darker eyeshadow without going over the edge. Wine red or vintage glam type lip colors. Makeup tends to slip right off the priority list, because I have a harder time justifying the s. Anything cool to try would be greatly appreciated.

Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you'd date/have relations with ) OOOhhh, will have to ponder this one. First thoughts: Angelina Jolie, John Barrowman, Vin Diesel, Neil Gaiman, and Gina Gershon.

Any countries you're interested in? I have always been fascinated by Russian history, and have read extensively on that subject. On another note, we lived in England for 3 years when I was younger - so I have visited all over Europe, parts of Asia & Africa, etc. But I never made it to Wales or Ireland, and find them fascinating.

Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? Yes!

If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Absolutely! Gives it personality and charm.

Are you a foodie? Eh, not especially. Enjoy wonderful food, some foodie-type scents. But not where my primary emphasis lies.

Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? Not really. Enjoy watching ice hockey & baseball live.

For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? Decorate up a storm for Halloween... So much so, that the husband and myself had to compromise - I wait until the day after my birthday to decorate (sept 18th), instead of starting in August. And he doesn't fuss when Halloween takes over the house and stays until it is time for Christmas stuff to go up (the day after daughter's birthday which is on Dec 6th). Some campy is ok, but prefer not too cutesy. Elegant or vintage style are wonderful. Bats, spiders, witches, candles, cauldrons....mmmm

Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? Could really use a sketchbook suitable for pencils or watercolors.

9/11/10

Cake truffles? YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type? Anything sounds good. Cream cheese icing is a favorite, red velvet/devil's food/lemon/spice cake, etc.

Are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? It's a good size to try new things.

Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Absolutely a fan of vampire and zombie literature - as long as the damn vampires don't glitter.

If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? XBOX 360 and pc gaming are for me. I have several xbox games that I really, really want on my Amazon wish list.

How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? Seeds would be my favorite.

How do you feel about marzipan? Nom. So pretty. Stollen is one of our Christmas traditions, 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? Three Witches, Hamadryad (cinnamon), and Egg Moon.

Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? Not really. CostPlus is near me, and has a really good selection.

Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? All of it! But especially Ginger Skulls and Bogle.

If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) Cross stitch patterns, pretty colors of floss, embroidery scissors, pretty Aida - yes, that would be nice

Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up?

iPod random shuffle:

1) Dido - "Isobel"

2) Depeche Mode - "Shake the Disease"

3) Huey Lewis & the News - "Hope you Love Me Like You Say..." (I'm a child of the 80's, I can't help it)

4) Don Henley - "Man With A Mission"

5) Joel Zimmerman - "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"

and it was so much fun, had to do 10

6)NIN - "The Slip"

7) Monty Python - "Galaxy Song"

8) The Fratellis - "My Friend John"

9) Damien Rice - "Older Chests"

10) Garbage - "Wicked Ways"

Soundtracks you'd like? The Alice in Wonderland inspired album would be nice. And THIS just came up on Pandora - had never heard of it before but wants it now!

If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Chris Isaak, probably.

What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Michael's. Realized I needed to add this one after going there last night & standing there looking at all the wonderful things. I had forgotten how much fun it really is to shop there. And how expensive it could get.
