Here are the answers to questions asked in the Switch Witch Thread!

 

Baked Goods? Yay! Though warning that being in Hawaii, things can melt. I don't mind getting a misshapen mess of delicious food, but you better wrap it really good!

 

Recipes? I love recipes handwritten or in books! My hubby turned lactose intolerant recently, so any easy dairy-free recipes would be awesome. (esp for desserts that use things like heavy cream...)

 

If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW. What would you order? I'd probably order a bottle of White Choco Mango Buttercream, Harigata II, and Dancing Koi (which I think I may do soon actually)... and maybe the LE Virgina Imp Case.

 

What level of nudity are you fine with on items? I'm cool with it all...

 

Would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale?As long as it's clean and you think it's awesome then I'm sure I'll find it awesome too!

 

Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out?

I've never really tried anything out of the ordinary, but I'm totally open to it (seasoning or sauces). I love spicy stuff!

 

Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk?

I don't drink A LOT of tea/coffee, so I'd be most interested in unique kinds (ex: i have a chocolate tea and it was totally fun!). And I can do loose leaf, bags, beans, or grinded.

 

Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?)

stroopwafels? lol I have no idea..

 

Would you rather have HUGE list of things to try (as in my repressed imp orders) or just a highlight list? definately a long list. That way there's a better chance that I have SOMETHING from the list

 

Mix CDs? If you have some cool music that fits my interest, then sure (which my likes are in my Q-airre)

 

How do folks feel about little e-goodies? (articles online, pix, fic, etc) I think that's super sweet and cool! (well, contact in general I think is awesome... i'm at home a lot lol)

 

Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate? I've never had them, but people RAVE about it all the time, so I'd love to try! (but wrap carefully, the heat here may melt them).

 

Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection? No thanks, me and the classics never really bonded...

 

So how does everyone feel about receiving ebooks? well I don't have an e-reader so I'd rather not. BUT I wouldn't mind audiobooks!

 

candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay? both. Scents I like for the home - linens, windy breeze type scents, lavender, vanilla, foody, hydrangea, sage, lilac. I also like incense too!

And lastly... surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours?

Well, first is to wake up to my hubby making me some brown sugar-filled fried dough, and variation with honey and blueberries inside. Then out kayaking to lil inlet where I can go snorkeling, play, and relax in the the secluded area. And set up a mini grill to have a BBQ on the beach for lunch! Then go home to relax while getting a massage.... then off to Alan Wong's for a 7-course tasting menu dinner with wine pairings! ---deeellliiccciiiooouuussss---

 

Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers? Well I think I would like it, but have yet to try it lol. There are a bunch of birds outside my house, so I think I'd have to do it inside. So I think some herbs or cherry tomato plants would be fun I think

 

Favorite artists or specific paintings?

Audrey Kawasaki, Vania Zouravliov, Mucha, Mark Ryden, and more that I can't think of off the top of my head..

One of my fav pieces is "The Birth of Venus" by Alexandre Cabanel

And I love old nude photos (kinda like many of the lupers artwork)

 

Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds? I like mixed drinks (mai tais, mojitos, kamikaze) and booze-infused foods (esp. cupcakes based on the "irish carbomb" drink). But as for straight booze, I'll pass.

 

Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay? I do like me some steampunk-eqse things.

 

Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most? Probably Pirates or Ninjas.

 

Do you like those little crocheted amurigami? If so, who needs to be emulated as one? I do like them, knit, AND felt stuffies! (the bigger the better, but I know knitting/crochet take a long time). I'd like me, my hubby, and pups to be turned into cute lil characters! <--hmm, sometimes I'm embarrassed for myself lol

 

Do you like wearing things in your hair? If so, what kind (snap clips, scrunchie, headband, etc), how big & crazy (lowkey, bigger the better), and colors.

I like snap clips, alligator clips, barrettes, and pieces on combs. I like huge fascinators in pale neutral colors, feather pieces, and kanzashi in any color!

 

Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere? Just one pair of regular ear piercings, (actually, there are two, but i think the second set is on the verge of closing...). I wouldn't mind getting another pair of the types that are in my etsy list (ex: lil silly earrings that are plates with mini foods on them.. lol)

 

Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things) I like plain, mixed chocolate (some melty, some chunky! or some reg and some white), but would pass on nuts and fruits. I wouldn't mind trying some weird ones if they're yummy

 

For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer? I like very light pinks, light goldeny brown, and all very sheer! I have one that's light pink but more of a purple-hue rather than a red-hue and I love it! I had a childhood memory recently missing the flavored/scented cheapie lip glosses that shimmered at the drug store that I bought in middle school...

 

Are there any fancy/gourmet/special herbs or spices that you'd love to receive? ie: good quality vanilla or other extracts, vanilla beans, saffron, lavender, etc. I have a few recipes that mention vanilla beans so I'd definitely be into that... and I wouldn't mind trying other things too!

 

What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you? I guess I don't have a FAVORITE animal. I like anatomically correct bee and cicada imagrey where you're looking down at it with the wings open.

I like a lot of stuffie animals.. whatever is squishy and cute like rabbits, elephants, giraffes, lil piggies, platypus, royal antelope calf!

 

If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want? MB: Underpants, Spooky, Boo, Cake Smash, Strawberry Moon,

 

DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither? Both are cool. Though I don't really have movies I'm looking to get atm

 

Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?)

I've never had cool socks, but I think it'd be awesome! Thinner material and slightly under knee-high or thigh high. I also like stirrup and cuffed styles.... The sock garters are pretty awesome too!

 

Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care? either is fine

 

Do you like pirate-related things? I like sexy pirate women... chocolate coins.. i don't know! lol

What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like them alright, but don't read or collect any. I like lil online comics that make me laugh or are nerdy. Or comics that are loved for their extra-awesome drawing style and quality of lines...

 

How do you feel about nail polish? What colors do you like? Sparkles?I rarely wear it b/c it always chips and cracks within days... and often gets dents and smooshed even before it dries! So I'm pretty set on it, but I do need that pale nail-bed-color used when doing french manicure. It's pretty easy for me and looks like my nails but better with a bit o topcoat on top lol.

 

Ok geek check - what sort of geeky things do you do? Would you like gifts related to any of these? I do have a few peeps that I play D&D . I'm a mac-user that gets into tiffs with my pc-devoted SO. I love playing video games, but am not so skilled... so i leave the boy to play the harder RPG games, and I'll play things like epic mickey or LBP lol. LOVE Futurama, and would love things related to that

 

Do you have a favorite fabric? If someone were to make you a fabric item, would you prefer it be out of any fabric? e.g. velvet, satin, silk, cotton, bamboo??? Would this change if it were an article of clothing vs. a bag/pillow/blanket/somethingelse well better to say that I wouldn't enjoy velvet... it really depends on what it's for.. but lightweight... or linens I LOVE LINEN.. (and bamboo would be nice too!)

If your Witch lived near you, would you be happy or creeped out to get a "coupon" for a service like cleaning help or babysitting or dogwalking or coffee out with your Witch or something like that? Would you be creeped out if a local minion personally delivered a package to your house from a far-away Witch? I would be a lil weirded out with a cleaning or babysitting "coupon", but I would LOOOVVVEEE a coffee or other hang-out if my witch was local!

 

What three things are you craving right now? Sleep, chocolate, and home-cooked meals! lol

 

paper goods, anyone need? including resume paper, and formal stationery as well as casual cards. I like fun paper cards that I can send to people (bday, thank you, and/or holidays).

 

What is a scent that you've been trying to find even a sample of for a very long time to no avail? (What bottle would you die to get your hands on - even a partial?) I haven't been searching for a while so I'm not really sure... maybe cake smash? or other delicious foody or other sexy scents!

If I were to order you a Smack, which four notes would you like?

 

Would you enjoy receiving a knitted gift from your witch? If so what would you be interested in (scarf, hat, wrist / handwarmers, socks, etc.) and in what colors? Socks and arm warmers would be super awesome! I would want a kitty/bunny hat, but it is pretty warm where I live.. And I would really love a knitted animal! tee hee

 

Easter Candy - do you like it? If so, what types? I love original cadbury eggs, or even a chocolate/caramel kinds. I don't like Peeps!

 

What scent "got away"? Anything you liked but swapped for something else and once in a while get all "I wish I hadn't done that" about it? Well I didn't LET it get away, but a bottle of my Underpants broke when I moved... it was such a HUGE loss

What is the coolest thing you have recently bought or been given that wouldn't exceed the price cap? ribbon for lei-making and pieces of any color/pattern fabric for kanzashi making (any pieces around 10"x10").

Do people like Roller Derby? If so, would you want anything from that sport? Like memorabilia or anything? it's pretty cool, but it's not really for me....

 

Clowns - boooo or yay (love em or hate em?)? they are totally skeevy and pedophile-esque, which I'm usually ok with. Though if a painted-up clown is walking toward me I'll look away and feel --dare I admit-- scared. EEK.

 

Minion Things I would want...

-from MeiLin - both the slow cooker & garlic cookbooks

-from nekogrrl - I love crafting, so I wouldn't mind having some imp/bottle-sized boxes.
