October 14th

 

Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? I love them. It would be hard to pick a favorite.

 

 

October 13th

 

Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? I suspect I've already missed the boat here, but I don't think there was anything I was crazy to have.

 

What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? She-Wolf (yes, I admit it, I love it).

 

Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update? Sure!

 

Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? I love the tee, although the lavender-y Beaver Moon doesn't sound like something I'd love.

 

I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on?

Ghirardelli chocolates, Hari-Bo gummy bears, and maybe sour Skittles if they have them.

 

 

October 11th

 

What is your favorite kind of cookie? I make this: chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, and walnuts.

 

How many boxes are you hoping for? I don't really look at it that way. Whatever and however my witch wants to send it is ok with me.

 

How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? Sure, that would be fine.

 

How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like?

That would be fantastic. Will have to think about the favorite quotes.

 

 

October 9th

 

Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? Anything cool from the lab would be great, or something signed if any of my favorite authors or artists are there.

 

The best thing I ever ate...: Wow, that's really hard to decide. I've eaten a lot of really, really good things. Possibly the lamb hubby and I had in Italy. Or one of the things we've had at this restaurant, which is divine.

 

 

 

October 6th

 

Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? Nope, not a fan.

 

Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I have a MacBook Pro 17", an iPhone 4, an iPad 2, an iPod nano (purple) that I take to the gym, and an 80GB regular iPod (older model) that basically stays connected to our stereo.

 

Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? I love love love love love audiobooks, and listen to them all them time. They've become particularly important since I started the new job, because I have to commute 45 minutes to and from work every day (total of an hour and a half). A friend of mine recently recommended the audiobook for a book called Southern Gods, so I've been meaning to check that out. I have an Audible account, and listen to most audiobooks on the Audible app (because it saves your place and has bookmarks and stuff, an generally rocks). I think you can gift credits.

 

 

 

October 5th

 

Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) I love handmade stuff. If my witch is a crafty witch, anything she might want to send is fine.

 

Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? Yes! And I would LOVE a cool camera strap. Photojojo... oh boy. I wouldn't ask my witch for anything that pricey. But *drool*!

 

Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? I'm digital only, but love the lomo-style stuff.

 

Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? No. Just an enthusiastic listener.

 

 

 

October 3rd

 

Does anyone else like collector Barbies? I do, although right now I'm crazy for more Monster High dolls.

 

What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? Nothing I can think of.

 

Tarot? LOVE! I currently have these decks: Pagan Cats, Cleopatra, Revelations, Legacy and The Vertigo Tarot

 

If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? I love eyeliner in interesting colors.

 

Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn? Oooh, that sounds yummy.

 

 

 

October 2nd

 

Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? Not my thing.

 

Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?

 

I got everything I wanted from September (NA is like crack to me). From the new stuff, Bastet X (of course), Mummy Curse Lane, Bastet's Witching Hour, and Sekhmet's Sorcery look fantastic.

 

What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? I love the kittehs!

 

Luck charms? Absolutely. I would especially like safe travel/luck charms for our cars.

 

For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I do. And candles.

 

Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here? That would be neat.

 

Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? The Princess Bride

 

Is there a song on iTunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Not that I can think of.

Reveal? Please please please!

 

Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? I have ordered it.

 

Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Yes

 

 

 

September 30th

Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? Not me.

 

You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?

I have no idea.

 

how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? At one time, I had this wonderful smelling Marrakesh Oil for my hair. It was hemp and argan oils, and it rocked.

 

Describe your sense of humour. Irreverent.

 

Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) I love them!

 

I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? Any cute little tokidoki or Hello Kitty thing.

 

 

 

September 29th

 

What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?

I am obsessed with Tokidoki bags.

 

julep maven monthly boxes: Looks pretty cool.

 

Like commercial socks? I am crazy about Sock Dreams, and drooling over their Halloween update.

 

What kind of bear is best? Bear? I am confused by this question... The ones not outside my door ready to eat me, I guess.

 

Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? Me!

 

Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Yum

 

I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? That is so cute! Sure, I'd love a print.

 

Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? Beautiful!

 

Do you drink wine? Do I ever! It is one of my absolute favorite things (and a huge impediment to my weight loss goals, truth be told). I LUUUURVE it!

 

Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? I got Kitty. So glad I did!

 

I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? No thanks.

 

 

September 28th

 

JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?

Ooh! I would love a D&D or Buffy soda pack.

If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? I have no idea.

 

Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? I got expressive.

 

Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? Puppets are kind of creepy. And clowns.

 

Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I'm a foodie; I'm always open to trying new things. I doubt there are any restaurant.com vouchers for my area, except maybe for chain restaurants, which I usually avoid. Groupons for Asheville, NC (where I visit often) would work tho.

 

Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Not really. I take advantage of what we have around here. :)

 

 

September 26th

If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? I think I answered this one for my witch already. :)

 

Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? I'm not sure what that is...

 

say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I'm also not sure what the heck this is about. But Bast is my patron goddess (of course).

 

 

September 25th

 

Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Sure

 

Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Not really. I just sort of fall into bed when I'm too tired to do anything else. :lol:

 

Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? Sure

 

Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yay!

 

What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches? Little Red Riding Hood

 

 

September 24th

 

how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? It's great.

 

Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Jeans, black knit boatneck top with little buttons on the shoulders, leopard print ballet flats. (This outfit is extremely typical for me.)

 

Kerchiefs? Sure

 

It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Read. Preferably with a glass of wine to hand.

 

 

September 23rd

 

What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel, like this? That's so freaking adorable. Yes, I love such things.

 

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? I love the Madame Talbot poster, the String Doll Gang keychains, and I could always use a backup of U (I am too lazy to try to type the umlauts, forgive me, witch).

 

I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I wouldn't mind to try some. I haven't tried much Cocoa Pink, so whatever my witch thinks i might enjoy.

 

September 22nd

 

If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? The only thing I could really use would be a little pouch for my iPhone that I could clip to my purse (right now it's in an outer pocket with my keys, and I'm afraid it's going to get scratched).

 

Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Sure, that would be neat.

 

If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I haven't the foggiest notion what that is.

 

Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! I think my faves are in my questionnaire.

 

What is your favorite word? Serendipity

 

What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Love. I am especially fond of wrist-length warmers.

 

Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I am more fond of actual candles than tarts. I like big scented candles that are long lasting, and unscented chime-size candles in lots of colors.

 

What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I love them all. Umame is a particular fave.

 

So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? I've got most of the in-game WoW stuff I would want, but I can always use Frontierville horseshoes.

 

Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Sigh. No. Things have been so hectic the past two weeks, we haven't done anything special for Mabon, and I feel bad about it.

 

What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I'm not fond of Starbucks coffee (I mostly like the fancier drinks there). I love fresh-roasted whole bean coffees. Malabar and Yirgacheffe are faves, but really, I just like a good, fresh roast.

 

September 21st

 

Cthulhu: yay or nay? Yay!

 

Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Nothing my witch could help with, at least that I can think of.

 

Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting? I think I posted this as an answer to a previous question. If not, witchy, please poke me.

 

Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Sure

 

If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I love all three. I prefer natural fibers in my favorite colors, and either light and drape-y or thick and warm is fine.

 

If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. I suspect my witch may have already ferreted out pet pics (not hard with me!) but here's a link to my Google+ photos (which has my Picasa photos). I think all my pics of my furbabies are public. If not, poke me! https://plus.google.com/110820439719751410927/photos

 

Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I would wear something like that.

 

How do you feel about terrariums? They're neat.

 

What's your favorite horror movie? Ooh, tough call. Will come back to this one.

 

If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. Clinique 7 Day Scrub or Moisture Surge. These are my top two can't-live-without products.

 

Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Yay

 

I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? Sure, that would be neat. Would have to think about what, but am open to suggestion.

 

Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Sure

 

If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I think I answered another question about this earlier.

 

If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Bonfire, Vanilla Bean, Suede, and either Incense or Spice Trade.

 

If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? I would love a Salon scent based on something by Botticelli. Probably The Birth of Venus or La Primavera.

 

Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? Sure, that would be fun.

 

What's 'your' song/your theme song? Oh, gee. It's hard to pick just one. Maybe AFI's "Malleus Maleficarum."

 

What would be your superpower? No idea.

 

Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Definitely.

 

Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts!

Yes, that would rock. Typical snack mix stuff that I don't like much: raisins, coconut flakes (I like coconut -- I love the scent! -- but I'm particular about it when it comes to food), cashews (again, particular). Things I love: jerky, granola, dried berries, other nuts. I love sweet/salty mixes.

 

Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I like them, but because I spend all day typing, I probably wouldn't wear one very often (the jangly-ness would drive me crazy).

 

 

September 20th

 

Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. I can always use more makeup brushes.

 

Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Nope.

 

Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get.

Hair gloss!

 

Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Hm. Will think and come back to this.

 

A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? Jewelry

 

Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? ZOMG SLEEPY HOLLOW IS BACK! It's my favorite. I love love love it. Ghost Pumpkin and Comfort Me With Apples sound good too.

 

So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? That would be wonderful!

 

 

 

September 19th

 

What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself? Can't think of anything off the top of my head.

 

How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I like polish. Just got a couple more of the OPI for Sephora Garden of Good and Evil ones.

 

Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I am one of those people. I love lip balms and glosses. I tend to use pots less, but if it rocks, I'll use it.

 

Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) Sure

 

For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) I'm not a painter.

 

How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I have all I need right now.

 

How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? They're great.

 

If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Haribo gummy bears, probably some sort of hair thingo, and maybe a lip balm or two.

 

Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Fresh canned peaches or some sorts of preserves/jellies/jams would be cool. Not too crazy about the pickled stuff.

 

Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Either. Nature.

 

would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Sure, sounds neat.

 

Amigurumi, yes or no? Cute!

 

I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! Will come back to this one.

 

If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Bast

 

Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Pumpkin-y things, cider-y things, other fall type scents.

 

Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Oolong, Black, white teas with fruit flavors

 

 

September 18th

 

Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I do, and size L currently (sadly; working on that). I would LOVE one designed by my witch! I like all sorts of things on them.

 

How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Bring it! Pumpkin is one of my favorite scents.

 

Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? I haven't heard of it yet. Enable me!

 

If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from.) Hm. Whatever my witch thought was a can't-miss sort of item.

 

Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).

I have a MacBook Pro 17" with a wireless mouse (a Logitech, not the Magic Mouse, which I tried and hated).

 

 

 

September 17th

 

Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Nothing in particular (maybe see wish list?), although I prefer blu-rays.

 

Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I like postcards!

 

Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Hm. Nothing on my calendar yet, but probably I'll see something.

 

Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? ZOMG, do I love some Star Trek! I'm not fond of the original series (not a Shatner fan) but I love love love The Next Generation, and the series after that are cool as well.

 

Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? I would, and of anything my witch thinks is cool/my sorta thing. A really pretty cemetery maybe? Something beautiful in nature? Not spiders (*shudder*).

 

 

September 16th

 

Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I order out if it's left up to me. My hubby is the chef in our house. I think right now we have all the cookbooks we really need.

 

How do you feel about maple syrup? I like it, but currently have all I need (we don't eat pancakes too often).

 

How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? That would be lovely! I would love something Bast-related for my desk at my new office.

 

Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I like the original trilogy.

 

Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I love jerky! I like it any way, and am open to varieties other than beef (bison, venison, whatever).

 

Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work? I do like racy ecards, but should probably be warned. I've just started this new job thing, and since I was used to being the person in charge, I'm not used to having to think about that kind of thing yet. A warning would be helpful.

 

Doctor Who? Yay or nay? Yay! Yay yay yay yay yay yay! Doctor Who goodies? ZOMG, yes!

 

I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? Only if you want me to love you forever.

 

Anyone love Buffy/Angel? :wave: Yet again, me me me!

 

How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Let me tell you about some gummies. Haribo gummy bears are the absolute best! They are my and my hubby's favorite candy; we always snag some at Walgreens and sneak them into the movies.

 

How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I love Gelaskins... to the point that all my devices are already covered, so I don't need any. I can find surfaces for stickers, though.

 

Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? My creepy threshold is pretty high, and I like my fairytales dark.

 

Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have 00 gauge piercings in each ear, plus two regular piercings, and my nipples are pierced. I would love jewelry for these.

 

How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Um... not sure what that is.

 

 

 

September 15th

 

interested in anything from Lush? Sure! I love Lush.

 

Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? Nah. I'm a designer, so no need.

 

Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? I would love one.

 

do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? I've never had that, but would try it. Sounds pretty tasty.

 

How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. That would be cool. Asheville, NC is my closest Groupon area, and I visit there often.

 

do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Yes and yes!

 

Who here adores meringue? I wouldn't quite say adore, but I certainly like meringue.

 

 

 

September 14th

 

Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Probably not, but I'll try. Techno witchy locavore animal lover wine nerd liberal geek chick?

 

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Some faves: Bailey's (or other Irish cream), Godiva liqueurs, Frangelico, Chambourd, Vodka, Scotch. I don't like rum that much (tastes fine, but gives me a headache).

 

What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I like brownies more than fudge (except for peanut butter fudge, which is :heart:). I live in a fairly warm climate, so if my witch wants to send that, it would be best to wait until October or November.

 

Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? The few times I've had it, I liked it.

 

Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Yes. The stuff I like that I didn't already buy: Harvest Festival spray, Honey Pumpkin Stout or Spun Sugar bath oils, Crypt King (haha, I know, but maybe a teeny half-decant?), any of the bath brews except Tears of the Seraphim, Fig and White Sandalwood, Frankincense Clove, or White Tea and Sage hair glosses.

 

Does anyone like kimchi? Yum.

 

Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure, that would be fun.

 

You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Everything on my wish list.

 

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Smiling Jack sorbetto scrub, anything Moundshroud. I am always happy to have anything Avast!

 

Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? I wouldn't say I follow anything obsessively, but I like college football. I'm a Georgia Bulldog.

 

How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I have plenty right now, thanks.

 

Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I like both just fine. I've seen some really neat Halloweenie confetti (tiny pumpkins, bats, etc.) in past rounds.

 

Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have Scryer's Gulch 1 - 20 (I think) and Lovers and Beloveds. I've pre-ordered the next book too. :heart: MeiLin!

 

How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I do like them. I love to get wild animal ones. If I happen to get a witch from Florida, I LOVE Florida panthers, and when I was at the Tallahassee Museum last fall, they were sold out of stuffed ones. I was sad.

 

how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?

That would be cool!

 

 

 

September 13th

 

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I tend not to use stuff like that.

 

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Just a little black dress.

 

Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Love them (except crypotgrams). I am especially fond of logic puzzles. Ooh, and Words With Friends (aka Scrabble)!

 

Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I would. As my witch will learn from my posts, I just started a new job, and I could use a special mug for my office.

 

 

 

September 12th

 

Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? I primarily use the Kindle app on my iPad (or my Kindle for reading outside 'cause it doesn't glare), so either that or any format that works with the iBooks app (like PDF) works great.

 

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) I like the last one pretty well. Basically, I just like to have a bag large enough to carry my iPad in.

 

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Cats (obviously), Celtic knotwork, leaves and vines, ravens.

 

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I'm pretty open type/flavor wise. I prefer loose leaf.

 

 

 

September 11th

 

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) That's pretty much the same for me. Not crazy about used clothing, but other stuff is fine, especially if it's funky and cool. Or a book.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I have an Etsy with nothing in it atm. I'm so far behind, I suspect everyone else has already answered the second question.

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I love the Aristocats.

 

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? I like those peanut butter chew thingos, and anything pumpkin-y. I tend to go for the same types of candy I usually like, but with pretty fall-colored outsides or wrappers. Vosges and Godiva always have neato Halloween offerings too.

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like the feel of shower gel, but I seem to be able to find far better scents in bar soap. Favorite brands: Paintbox Soapworks, Villainess (including the BPTP soaps), Arcana. Ooh, Villainess' new apple scents look fantastic. Arcana Sleepy Hollow is one of my all-time faves (and not always available).

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? I love crazy chocolate flavors (see: Vosges bars). Really, I like my chocolate any way I can get it. Also, I really, really, really love salted caramels.

 

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I would love some! Any cool stone ones my witch would like to send.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! :wave: Me me me me me!

 

Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? That would be lovely. (See above question re: motifs, and my questionnaire for fave colors.)

 

This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Love them

 

And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I lost my Blade Runner umbrella and would love to have another one. That's the only specific thing I can think of, but in general, I love stuff from Think Geek and would be happy to have anything my witch thinks is cool.

 

 

 

September 10th

 

What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I couldn't really narrow it down to just one.

 

are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Yes! Anything. Apple is one of my favorite notes.

 

If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? Sure, and no, they don't have any particular dietary restrictions.

 

What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? I need Monsterbait: Underpants. Need need need. Also, I dropped my bottle of Snake Charmer a couple weeks ago, and despair of finding more. I would love to try Storyville.

 

Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? Nothing in particular (I have a ton of art on the walls, and not much space left.)

 

If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I love Urban Decay. They're my favorite makeup company. I have red hair, and the fair and freckledy skin to go with, and green/hazel eyes. I usually wear shades of purple/pink or green.

 

Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Both, and yes.

 

Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) No. I tend to just buy that kind of thing.

 

Are you going away for any part of this round? No

 

Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Yes! The lovely yewberry assisted my witch in putting together a mix CD for me last round, and I loved it.

 

If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Sure! I would love that sort of thing.

 

Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I enjoy the outdoors, but I'm not hardcore. Walks in the woods, biking (on a gentle/easy trail), that sort of thing. Exercise-wise, I love lifting weights. I'm finally getting back to the gym, and hope to get back in shape soon.

 

Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? I'm still learning to knit, so just working on easy/free stuff.

 

Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes please! I have a new office; I need this sort of thing.

 

Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Nope.

 

 

 

September 9th

 

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I love it. I prefer loose incense (and can always use charcoals). I like all sorts of different scents.

 

Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Yes. If I'd ever get my Pottermore owl, I might get sorted. /grumble

 

If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Vosges, The Soapbox Co. Ooh, and Sock Dreams! It's just about sock time... :)

 

Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Bast is my patron goddess.

 

If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! I don't have anything like that (though I wish I had a local D&D group).

 

If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality! I'd like to see my dad again. I miss him.

 

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? A glass of wine and a good book.

 

What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? Love them. I'm a big fan of Hellblazer (and various other Vertigo titles past and present). A past witch introduced me to Lenore, which I love, but I only have the first book. I would love recommendations if my witch likes comics too.

 

Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? No.

 

Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? We grow herbs and tomatoes in the summer.

 

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I love decorating for Halloween! We tend to go with traditional stuff like pumpkins, hay bales, that sort of thing. And witchy stuff. Typically fun.

 

Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Cats, wolves. Bast and Anubis.

 

Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc? I love adopt-an-animal type things.

From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? I want to try just about everything. Here is what I've ordered: Autumn Cider, John Barleycorn 2011, La Calavera Catrina, Pumpkin Princess, The Black Apple of Saturn, The Gorobble.

 

Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I love OPI. I just bought the new fall OPI for Sephora color What's Your Poison and love it.

 

Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Hmm. Will have to think about this one. If my witch needs to know this, she should prod me a bit and I'll give it more thought. (I have no idea who asked, so you won't give yourself away.)

 

Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... Something with some of my favorite scents. Vanilla, tobacco, leather, that kind of thing.

 

Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? I love scarves and wrist warmers especially much. Just something in my favorite colors (see questionnaire).

 

Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sure. I love jerky, but really, anything my witch thinks I would like would be great.

 

What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? The one I felt that way about (DeSade) was already discontinued (sniffle).

 

Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I'm cammycat, although I don't check in there much. Still a knitting noob, but I'm trying.

Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?

My Amazon wish list is in my questionnaire. Here's a link to my Etsy faves: http://www.etsy.com/people/cammycat79/favorites

 

Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? Mac all the way! (Also iPhone and iPad.)

 

What is your favorite animal? Cats, of any shape or kind.

 

What are you going to be for Halloween? I'm not sure yet.

 

If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? Bast

 

How do you feel about nick-knacks? I like them just fine. Especially cat things and witchy things.

 

What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? Samhain is probably our most important holiday. DH and I are also big into the equinoxes and solstices. We also celebrate important occasions like "Saturday" (the anniversary of the day we hooked up, when we started by hanging out as friends and it turned into much more; like a date movie) and our wedding anniversary (October 13). For Thanksgiving, our tradition is to order takeout Indian food. :yum:

 

Do you like going to the movies? Yes, but I usually wait and go when it won't be busy, because people can be so rude (talking, answering their phones, etc.) and that kind of spoils it.

 

What are your favorite restaurants? Most of them are local to me, and my witch wouldn't be familiar with them.

 

Do you play any video games? Oh yeah! Favorite series: Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Torchlight, World of Warcraft

 

Do you like any anime? I love it! If my witch wants to send me anime, that would be awesome.

 

Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I have an iPad, but I have a great case for it. However, it would be neat to have a small iPhone case that I could clip onto the outside of my purse, so I could access it more quickly (and protect it from scratches; I keep my keys in the outside zip pocket of my bag, so it's not safe).

 

how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I would be really excited. Love it.

 

How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Any way my witch wants to send them would be lovely.

 

Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? I always love pretty boxes; if I don't store smellies in them, I can always use them for herbs, jewelry, etc.

 

Muppets: yea or nay? Muppets are ok. I am more fond of Labyrinth muppets.

 

Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? I <3 Garfield and the Far Side.

 

Favorite Mythological Creature? Cat Sidhe and Kitsune. Also, of course, dragons.

 

Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers? You know what I really love? Hair feathers. They are my new obsession.
