September 30th
Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update?
Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? i"m not sure what this question means.
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? There isn't really anything I am desperate to try atm, so I don't know that I can answer this.
how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I really like the smell of hemp in lotions and such, I am unsure about it in jewelry.
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 answered this one in the thread actually, since I am the one who asked it
julep maven monthly boxes: I think it's a really fun idea.
Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I'm not sure that these would work in Canada, but if they did, I would definitely use it!
Like commercial socks? Another question I m not sure of the content?
What kind of bear is best? Black bear
Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? Very interested.
Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Sur, I've never had them!
I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? It's cute, but not for me.
Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? They are very beautiful.
Do you drink wine? I do. Prefer to have white, sweeter is better. Riesling is always a pretty safe bet.
Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! That is definitely not what makes me nervous, for me it is making sure my box of awesome has enough awesome in it.
Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? yes. Yes I do.
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? I would try it. I am team Candy Corn.
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?The Guild is pretty fun, and I think the D&D is cool too.
It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?
I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Smoked slat FTW. And anything with Lavender in it wins too.
September 27th
What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? I can't really think of anything atm.
So who else watched Babylon 5? Brutal HOnesty. Only if there was nothing else on, and even then, I may have just shut the tv off.... Sorry.

Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? It has indicated 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? porcelain dolls. My ex MIL had quite a few and I hated going into their laundry room, which is were she kept the oldest one she had, which when you think about it, is a really weird place to keep a doll, and when my first daughter was born, she immediately started a collection for her, which immediately stuffed to the very back of a closet and kept it there. She's almost 16 now, and those dolls are still there...
what level of contact were you hoping for? Whatever kind of contact my witch/witchee can afford me. I realize that people have busy lives, but still want to be part of something that is alot of fun. As long as you let me know you're out there, i'm pretty good. I do prefer a really well filled out questionnaire if my witchee is going to be silent during the round though, but I think thats my only requirement.
Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? I can't think of any.

Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? Don't really know their products.
say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I would say Ceres.

Kerchiefs? I think I would wear it.
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? The weekend has passed at this point I know but to answer the question.. I pretended not to have any chores or responsibilities and headed to the Michigan Renaissance Festival.
September 23rd
Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? That museum is. SO. COOL. I collect a couple of touristy- like things, squished pennies and badges or patches, that kind of thing, but lets say you had something wildly cool to give, i'm game:)
I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I have never done anything by cocoa Pink, so I cna't really say there is anything I wouldn't want.

Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I enjoy jar candles best as I don't have many candle holders and they come equipped with their own.

Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? A handpainted quote would be lovely, one of my favorites is “The past is like an Anchorholding us back; you have to let go of who you are to become who you will be.”

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 never know what kind of brushes to get, so help in that area would be greatly appreciated!
Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Legos ROCK. I still play with them, and not necessarily with the kids!
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.{/b] I would actually shoot over to the trading post instead. I would get a couple of pairs of socks and then some baors of port royal soap. Pretty sure that would eat up more than my 50 bucks…
Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Alice In Wonderland
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? I don’t really have a process per se. I see the end result in my head and begin. And along the way it morphs into something else entirely sometimes, or with just a hint of what I originally envisioned.
Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I don’t buy anything else but bpal. I’m sure they’re lovely but it could become even more dangerous to my cc.

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.) I am good with thrift. I understand some squick about clothing depending on the condition, but sometimes you can get really great items to be repurposed. For example, bridesmaid dresses. All of this gorgeous fabric which is pricey to get at times, can be turned into something else quite easily. And it’s the thrill of the hunt when you’re in those stores as well isn’t it?
Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I don’t own one and I don’t really know any that are SW friendly unless they are already a part of here.

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I used to bead quite a bit, but haven’t touched it in a while. I think I’m good with beads right now as I have many other projects on the go and I don’t know when I would get to use anything like that.
Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! YES Sea Salted Caramels. Amazing.
