10/13/10

Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like?

I am not so into that- I have a million other things I collect!

 

Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)?

My pets might hate you- I think they could tolerate hats. And the pictures would be hilarious.

 

 

10/12/10

Would you want your witch to reveal herself? How?

Witch, I cannot wait to meet you!

 

10/9/10

I came home with some Dungeon Crawl and some Bedbugs yesterday. If you were my witchee, would you want some of either/both?

Those both sound exciting to me- esp. bedbugs:)

 

10/7/10

Did you forget anything fun/interesting or find something new and exciting?

I am not sure ho wot answer this. I am working on search engine optimization- but that isn't ver exciting. I have discovered a love for paintbox soapworks- I got some for my witchy and kept a bar of pumpkin soap for myself- she is way talented. Oh! I know hwat I am excited about- the musical next year is My Fair Lady- so I need to get the movie and hte original broadway soundtrack with julie andrews and practice:)

 

10/5/10

Would you like to receive international magazines, even if you don't speak the language it's written in, just to ogle the pictures or for the novelty of it? If yes, what kind of magazines, or what magazines in particular?

Wow- this sounds awesome. I love lush photographs of art or artsu fashion, crafts, and nature, and food- and pretty much anytihng- i rip up and save/collage magazine spreads all of the time.

 

would you have interest in any of the new Christmas stuff from Lush?

I actually had to twist my own arm to stop it from making a huge order of that stuff. I especially lust after trying the maple lip balm, the gingerbread bubble bar, and the new hot toddy like shower gel. I miss being able to drive to lush- but it is good for my wallet!

 

Oh, witchee-poo... if there was one bottle you could have from the NYCC exclusives, what would it be?

The White Lady, or Steeplechase Park spray.

 

If someone were to make you one of the items in this post which would it be?

Oh my- those are all beautiful. I especially like the hooded one.

 

If you were my witchee, would you mind a gift certificate where you'd have to do it old school style and mail it in with your order form?

That sounds cool- the last time I did that it was for book club in grade school:)

 

10/4/10

Do you have a preferred weight of yarn to work in? Lace, sock, worsted, bulky, handspun with variation?

Anyone like little seasonal decorative wreaths? Like gravevine wreaths embellished with silk flora, etc.?

Do any witchees need a Snuggie?

 

 

Monday 10-4-10 update:

 

10/01/10

So, who here loves pomegranates? Are the good as a fruit, a flavoring or just a scent?

delicious as a whole fruit, great as a unseetened juice or liquor- I don't like it much as a flavoring as I feel it often doesn't taste authentically tart to me.

 

Haunt Update?

I want everything, but it is all gone already!

 

9/30/10

Villainess has an update. Anyone wanting anything from it?

Autumn gala looksk yummy- I love love love Mudslide anything.

 

how are all the witchees fixed for purses--lunchbags, etc?

I really want a bento box! I am good on bags- my little sis just made me one for my bday and it is awesome!

 

Now, I have a question for you. About notes. Which are your favourite ones? Do you have a kind of "note top ten?" Anything that works particularly well on you? Do you have a perfume category (foody, floral, aquatic, musky) that you favour? And are there any notes you have never tried, but think would work well on you?

I shall try a top ten:

 

1 honey/beeswax

2 caramel

3 dark cocoa

4 fig

5 apple

6 pumpkin

7 coconut- the lab's dry note is great- not tropicana at all

8 vanilla (creamy)

9 rose

10 violet

 

But for most of those notes- I like a layer of complex resins or woods/patchouli or somehting peppery to hold down the sweetness- so I feel like I did a bad job of listing stuff. Benzion is always good on me.

 

I also like to try strange notes- (such as tomato, different herbs, baking bread...) considered savory that arent used as often in conventional perfumes.

 

Would you like a sugar skull decorated by your witch? Or do you like sugar skull stuff in general?

I love Day of the Dead stuff- I am entering two paintings for a show this year if I can get my other stuff done!

 

9/29/10

Is there one scent that is your goto for comfort on a bad stressful day? Like the perfume equivilent of a security blankie?

Shub or in autumn-Samhain

 

What are you going to be for Halloween?

I am toying with Carmen Sandiego. I have the dress and hat- I just need a group of men singing my theme song accapelle to walk around with me!

 

Is there something just super random you like/enjoy/want/are ogling that has not been and will not be covered by any other questions, because it's just that WEIRD?

Probably, but my brain is much. Do you know a good de-mushing agent for brains?

 

Tuesday 9-28 Update:

 

 

9/25/10

If you could make a scent that represents where you live (or have lived), what would be the ingredients?

Buffalo smells like huge mounds of snow, tart apples, dry leaves, hedges of lavender, crisp gin, and farm share honey. Ok, now i want that smell!

 

Are you in need of Roller bottles or anything of the like?

I want to try making my own atmo sprays and could use bottles for that.

 

9/24/10

Just curious, but if your witch was to make an amigurumi critter (or other plushie) just for you, what would it be?

A sea monster or Squid!

 

Would you want a local/tourist item from your witch? Like a t-shirt, mug or shot glass?

I generally have too many mugs and t shirts in my little apartment.

 

Venomous Villains?

The blue/green and purple Maleficent eye stuff is pretty neat- I don't have any MAC so I don't know much abotu it.

 

Last Unicorn?

We have discussed hits:)

 

Who is your fav Disney Villian/villianess? How about hero/herione? (doesn't have to be specifically Disney though)

Maleficent can turn into a giant dragon and has an awesome cape. She clearly wins.

 

9/23/10

Do you collect stones/rocks? I'm talking like "semi" precious stones, ie moonstone, bloodstone, quartz ect. Are there any that you're looking for at the moment? Are you in need of a stone but don't know which kind?

Yes- I am always on the lookout for Labradorite and Moonstones with beautiful flash.

 

What's your favorite Halloween Music?

Tim Burton soundtracks are great- also, Don't Fear the Reaper, Goodnight Moon, and Nick Cave

 

9/22/10

Do you have a deviantart print wishlist or favourites list?

I really need to update my account- so at the moment, nope.

 

What kind of shoes do you need/want? What size shoes do you wear? Would you mind gently used shoes?

7.5 or 8 if they get filled with warm socks- used shoes are cool with me- I get many of mine from thrift shops.

 

Do you like paper dolls (new or vintage) or coloring in books?

I used to do terrible things to my little pony colorign books and send them to my friends.

 

Do you like weird scary things as traditionally girly fashion items like heels and handbags?

I love boots. Boots boots boots. Flat, heeled, strapped, laced- BOOTS, they are like crack to me.

 

What song is on heavy rotation for you right now?

Jackson Brown- Sky Blue and Black, and Comedy Tonight!

 

Are you coveting any of the NYCC atmospheric sprays?

I am coveting the Nut Crack Night and Samhain sprays instead.

 

If you could get any one thing hand-painted from your witch, what would it be and what would be on it?

Hmmm.... I very much want some fox art for my walls. So a canvas? or maybe a painted fox pendant? I also really like the Green man image.

 

 

 

9/21/10

Do you like garlic? Do you REALLY like garlic? Would you want to try some really unusual garlic stuff, like garlic cheese or garlic fudge or garlic chocolate, etc., etc., etc.?

I love garlic- I do not know how I feel about garlic and dessert, but I am up for trying it.

 

Can I talk to you about the living dead? How do you feel about Zombies?

Zombies someitmes scare me and sometimes amuse me- it depends on how fast they are:)

 

9/20/10

If you happened to be my Witchee, is there something you'd like from the Arcana Halloween update?

I have a whole wishlist over at soapbox- so if this is you dear Witch, lemme know and I will send you the link.

 

How many bottles of BPAL do you have?

um... I think my shelf has more then 40, less than 50?

 

Is there any exercise program that you're interesting in learning? Meditation, Yoga, Pilates, Belly Dancing, Zumba ect? Or if you do any of these (or anything else sport related) are there any things you need/want? Candles, music, mats, water bottles ect?

I would like ot study Yoga more intensely- could you send me a big boxx stuffed with spare time?

 

Anyone else into Emily Autumn?

Just looked her up- look spotentially awesome.

 

What's on your walls? Please show us up to three paintings/posters/whatever. If you love a painting so much that you would steal (to watch it with your greedy eyes) one, please share.

I would happily steal the Beardsley illustration of King Arthur and the Questing Beast. My favorite wall stuff... I have Our Lady of Glaciers, which I painted with neeswax and smells lovely, many pictures of family, art by Chuck Tingly, a local painter who I love working with, and my sister Anna.

 

do you like Girl Scout cookies? What kind?

Oh- those insanely bad for you coconut chocolate ones.

 

What's your take on homemade apple butter? Want some?

Yum.

 

9/19/10

I wondered if my witch or any witch would enjoy things like nice pens to draw with or anything similar?

Sure! I love black sharpie pens and uniball, or prismacolor pens

 

For those who are yarnies, would you like other-than-yarn witchery? Hooks, needles? Preference of material? Do you use/would you like handmade stitch markers, etc.?

I have no yarn skills- I do a bit of felting though- and use pretty hand made yarn in my jewelry sometimes:)

 

Does anyone do altered books? Would you be interested in old books to alter? Any type or title in particular?

I have made books a few times- I like old books with cool illustrations- especially anythign Vicotrian , Roycroft, or Art Nouveau

 

Did someone ask about incense yet? Would you like some? Something to store or burn it in? What scents? What form?

I burn resin/loose incence on charcoal disks and like all sorts of new kinds to try. I sould love a Samhain blend.

 

Any oddball free things you collect or would want saved for you?

The ephemera you sent me was absolutely perfect- it is front and center on my altar.

 

 

 

Yet MOAR ANSWERS!

 

9/19/10

Do you read/like fantasy? What kind of books or authors do you love? Which one would you like to read? Would you like gifts related to it?

My amazon wishlist has a lot of fantasy on it- and I love reccomendations because I always am looking for a nice long series to really get into.

 

Soaps : do you like them? What brands? What scents? Anything you're dying to try?

I love soaps with a lot of moisturizing ingredients. Esp. Magic Hands, burts bees, luch.

 

9/18/10

Who likes hair toys, and if so what kind?

I put my hair up with sticks or paintbrushes or pens:)

 

Does any art we may send need to be child safe, either in the actually safe sense or the non X rated sense?

Hit me with some innapropriate art anytime!

 

In the knitted/crocheted things area, would you want wrist warmers, 1/2 gloves, a neck warmer(the kind that pretty much just goes around your neck and maybe fastens instead of being long and loose like a scarf), slippers, or hats?

1/2 gloves and wrist warmers sound awesome. SO does a neck warmer.

 

How do you feel about altered/recycled/upcycled items of clothing or accessories?

I love 'em. Many of my clothes are rescued from the thrift store and altered.

 

Is there anything you want from the Violette Market update?

Another website to drool over. Sugar Shock, Witches' Apple, Beggar's Night...

 

What is your favourite habitat and climate to live in? How about to visit? (ie. forest, canyons, mountains, by the beach; temperate, tropical...)

What do you wish you could make/craft if you had the know-how and supplies? Specifically, which particular items?

 

Is there anything you would like from Conjure Oils general catalogue or the new updates that isn't already on your wishlist?

Oh my- I have never looked at that site before. I could spend hours looking up stuff.... I guess I will say Punkin Head and Mara and Alien Autopsy sound wonderful, and otherwise- anything with my love notes in it, I would love some introductory samples. OH- and my birth moon- September Harvest Moon- sounds perfect. WHY did I look at this website???

 

Am I alone in this, or is there a Book Fair/Comic Con scent you're dying to get your paws on, too?

I can't even get beyond my deep desire to somehow be magicallu transported to comicon in a pumpkin at the last minute:)

 

Anyone need address/phone type books?

nope

 

9/17/10

Are there any particular movies, tv shows or cd's that you've been meaning to buy for years but just never got round to getting? Would you mind a gently used dvd/cd if your witch had it or could get it??

I have never been able to find the animated Phantom Tollbooth Movie. I also love Spirited Away and would love it on DVD... I also cannot find my Leonard Cohen cds and this makes me very sad to be without.

 

Is there anything from the Possets' Hallowe'en update you're lusting after?

*runs to look at Possets update*

So the only possets I have tried have been through Villianess- and I really want a bottle of Gingerbread WHorehouse, consequently. I have not tried anything else- I have been meanign to get their introductory sample pack. But I digress...

from the Halloween scents- Halloween, Hell, and definitely The Girls Love Ginger, cuz I do:)

 

Would you like a custom/altered toy either from a seller or from your witch (like My Little Pony, or a Barbie or any particular toy that can be changed?)

Hmmm... I once saw a cthulhu my little pony I really lusted after. I think Barbie creeps me out too much, but otherwise that sounds fun.

 

Do you like the candy apple, candy corn or pumpkin spice kisses?

Oh my GODDESS why have I not heard of the beauteous things before now?

 

Anne Taintor, anyone?

that sarcasm thing - i like it:)

 

Which web comics do you enjoy?

wondrmark, sometimes xkcd and another one that is escaping me... is icanhazcheezburger a web comic?

 

9/16/10

If I were to knit a scarf, would you prefer a skinny one, or a wide one? A short one, that when wrapped once around your neck will just tuck under your jacket, or a long one, at least to your waist?

The collar scarves seem cool to me- I have a lot of medium ones- so a collar, or a super long skinny, or a cowl type one would be new for me.

 

Don't like scarves? Would a rectangular shawl or triangular shawl be more to your taste?

I like all knit things asd long as they don't itch.

 

How do you feel about recipes?

They are supr useful the first tiem you make somehting- I love to try new things and see what other people make.

 

What kind of a cook/baker are you?

Experimental? I am learning to make yeast based baked goods at the moment. I tend to look up a bunch of recipes, see what other people do, and then improvise my own blend for a dish.

 

Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program?

I am a foody/chef type. This weekend, I made salsa verde and canned it, and made tilapia in parchment with veggies and lime slices. Cooking is my de-stressor.

 

If I send you something home made would you like the reciepe for it?

Definitely!

 

If you are someone who doesn't want baked goods sent, would you like a collection of some of my favorite recipes?

How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients?

I bake from scratch, but kits sound fun too.

 

if you are a tea lover, what are your flavor preferences? Green? Black? Herbal (I know, technically those are NOT teas, but tisanes)? Flavored blacks/greens?

I love many kinds of tea so it is hard to say- I love fruit herbals with caramel tones- so honeybush is a favorite of mine. I love lavender, earl grey varieties, strange blends of oolong, green matcha, and I really love roasted rice green tea which at the moment seems impossible to find.

 

More answers:)

 

9/15/10

How do you feek about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not?

I love knick knacks. I mostly get art supplies from the dollar or thrift store- boxes and glassware I can sculpt on with polymer clay or paint.

 

Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to?

My amazon list is pretty enormous:) Hmmmm... I do want the new art book : Botany for Artists, and Stephen King's DIferent Seasons anthology.

 

Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favourite? Would you like to receive managas or anything related to them?

I love Miyazaki's anime- I am definitely open to learning about the genre- I have never read "real" mange and would definitely be into a crash course.

 

Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like?

Sure- that is what witching is all about:)

 

If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes?

Definitely!

 

OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns?

Any non-itch sock is a good sock in my book. I prefer deeper or natural colors and all kinds of lengths from ankle to thigh.

 

How do people feel about word magnets

My fridge is kind of packed, but I think they would be fun:)

 

How do you feel about samples/decants of things other than BPAL? Soap slices, lotion/scrub/shower gel decants, single use make-up/beauty products, etc.

Love me some samples!

 

What are you guys going to be aiming for in the Inquisition? Or do you just plan on ordering individual items?

I may order individual items- I am mostly holding out on reviews. I love ginger but like gingerbread ginger- so I want to see how Ginger Skulls plays out.

 

9/14/10

Chocolate or other types of candy?,

Chocolate with lemon, with salt, with herbs and all sorts of wierd stuff- and that perrenial favorite, with caramel. I also like caramel and maple in general, and sour candy/gummies. I like way too much candy, honestly. I try to keep it to one piece a day and then fruit.

 

For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags?

I use both very frequently, so either is fine. The only tea apparatus I don't have is the blooming teapot. Everything else I am ready for.

 

If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls?

I have scarves but I live in Buffalo, so I could always use more. I am missing some colors I love- deep blue or eggplant... and I would love one of those button around your neck scarves- they are so cool. I have never had a shawl but I am open to gypsy shawls coming into my life:)

 

Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike?

This is a tricky one. I identify with the strange, yearning creativity and wierdness of Clive Barker's fantasy characters. I lose myself in book s alot but I am not sure I have ever seen myself in a book, per say. I just read the hunger games trilogy, and Kattniss Everdeen is kick ass, self-sufficient, compassionate and able to admit her own mistakes, so I would like to emulate her.

 

Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect?

My cookie sheets are horrible. I am pretty stocked in my kitchen in general.

 

Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit?

Hmmm... ususally studio but live can be increidlbe with the right artist. I am not a fan of editing lyrics.

 

If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most?

I love my cats to bits- they are rescues with a bit of Maine Coon in them. My dear Severus, RIP, was a Maine Coon and I miss him too much to say.

 

Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)?

I love herbs and useful plants- Especially lavender and grape vines, apple trees and hazel trees as well. Hazel is my birth tree, and willow is my husband's, so I have a special love for those two. I also adore ivory or deep rust roses, and violets and carnations.

 

Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word.

So many. I love the Dune quote: "I will not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. I will face my fear and I will let it pass through me. When the fear is gone only I will remain." ANd pretty much everything from The Last Unicorn. Also, The Once and Future King:

"The best thing for being sad is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."

— T.H. White (The Once and Future King)

 

What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do)

TAL Milk and Honey, and Nine Muses

 

Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.)

 

My imaginary children are grounded at the moment, so no spoilage for them.

 

Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that

I enjoy funny videos and macros, and links ot cool sites. I have been thinking I should get some books son tape to work out to- so that could work online too I guess.

 

What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang)

My last night of my honeymoon meal again: (Yes, I remeber it)

 

Champagne, nice and dry

Warm, crusty rosemary bread

Venison Carpaccio with Carmelized Blood Orange and crisped onions

Flaky Wild Mushroom Tart

Duck Breast with Bacon, Artichoke, and Herb pasta smothered in smoked cheese

Almond and sugar crepe with pine needle sorbet and fresh raspberries

 

Now I am all drooly again.

 

NaNoWriMo?

Oh yes! I have never done this and I am determined to try it this year- but I know next to nothing about it!

 

Thats all for now:)

I have tried a lot of bpal- I don't even know where to start with that! I definitely want to try more of the panaceas and utility blends, and the TALs.

 

Recently, I tried the entire summer butterfly/moth series with decants, and I have a bunch of Halloween decants coming.

 

 

 

9/13/10

what interests you from the latest lab update? dawn maiden and mother, and a bunch of the trading post goodies that I added to my wishlist. I am rabidly anticipating the last unicorn update!

 

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?

I love stationary- I tend towards hand printed art fair type stuff or art nouveau fancy stuff.

 

I adore good pens to write/draw with. I have a sharpie pen/uniball addiction.

 

Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?)

I am canning for the first time this summer and love btoh canned veggies, fruit, and recipes to can my own.

 

If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay?

definitely!

 

Would you like something you have to make yourself?

I make lots of stuff myself, so this sounds fun. To warn you though, I have no knitting or sewing experience, so I would need help starting out with something like that.

 

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?

That sounds awesome- I really treasure handmade things.

 

Who is your favorite soap etailer?

moonalisa is hard to get, and haunt is closed- so i would have to say magic hands at soapbox co or lush

 

What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc?

I love roycroft/arts and craft style antiques, and again, art nouveau. I have a tea pot/cup problem but I keep it pretty under control.

 

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?

 

I can't dislike presents in the mail in any form!

 

What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet?

 

mostly natural- not a lot of eye shadow but i like deep colors of eyeliner for art openings that I can paint inside my lash line. I like lip stains and balms or sheer lipstick, and I generally struggle to find makeup pale enough for my skin that wont clog my pores.

 

Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you'd date/have relations with )

Can they include fictional people?

OK, I have an anti-hero problem!

The Phantom of the Opera

Leto Atriedes

Howl from Howl's Moving Castle

Severus Snape

Spike aka William the Bloody

and the list goes on!

 

 

9/12/10

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot?

I listen to a lot of showtunes, celtic music, indie rock, classic rock, singer-song writer stuff with acoustic guitar and piano, and punk rock

 

Any countries you're interested in?

All things Celtic, the art of Japan ancient and modern.

 

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

That sounds incredible. I keep meaning to make my own BPAL products- so far I have made solid perfume and some lotions.

 

If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it?

Of course!

 

Are you a foodie?

yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

 

Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player?

what are these sports you speak of?

 

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?

natural autumn stuff, creepy dark or classic halloween stuff:)

 

Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks?

I use tons of notebooks ad sketchbooks- I especially like unlined pages.

 

9/11/10

Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type?

Wow- why have I not heard of this before? I don't know how to choose. I love cream cheese, milk chocolate, lemon and raspberry, any fall seasonal type things. I need to try and make these someday!

 

are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products?

I don't travel much but sample sizes are fun!

 

Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay?

Not a twilight fan- loved Dracula, much of Anne Rice and Buffy. My favorite vamp lit is SUnshine by Robin McKinley

 

If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have?

I still need to try starcraft 2. I have a mac, and an old playstation 2 that I used mostly to play final fantasy.

 

How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers?

I have little sunlight in my apartment, and my cats love to kill my houseplants. I dream of having a real garden again someday, so seeds would be wonderful. I collect all sorts of ephemera and dried flowers for my altars and art, so that sounds good too.

 

How do you feel about marzipan?

delicious?
