Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? We mostly watch internet tv, but would love The Dark Crystal, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and House!

 

Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Sure, post cards are neat!

 

Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Maybe gonna go see Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman...maybe gonna go see CSS...I missed both Rasputina and Jucifer, but c'est la vie, have seen them all before anyway.

 

Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? No thanks, at all.

 

 

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?

We usually cook at home- well, I'm the one who cooks. We have a few vegan cookbooks (veganomicon, eat drink and be vegan, vegan cupcakes, and vegan express) but would love any of the "how it all vegan" series, some cute kitchen utensils like spatulas, measuring cups, really whatever. We don't have any cupcake tins so that would def be awesome.

 

New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?

It's ok. Only all natural, please. No high fructose corn syrup, please.

 

How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) sure, I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

 

Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Eh, not a super big fan but a kid I used to nanny loved it so I would watch it with him. Kitt Fisto is my favorite (mainly because we have the same name- diff spelling- and his last name is Fisto. haha, never gets old)

 

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)- vegan all the way- gonna have to pass on this...

 

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. ha, no warning necessary.

 

Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I don't have enough information to answer this. Unfortunately I have had limited exposure but it's been recommended!

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? no disney, but fairytales are cool. creepy is fine, but nothing clichee.

 

Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?

Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now??

sure!

 

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. Heck yeah! I'm a sucker for makeup brushes and I always see these in target and have to wander around the store with them in the cart and then put them back on the way out cuz "I already have brushes"

 

Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I am a nanny so I spend a good part of my time making these for the kiddos. I'm not really into HAVING a lego thing, but I enjoy putting them together. So probly skip that...I've got no place to put it!

 

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. Oh man...I guess...I would buy Sprinklecake and Sugar Spectre....or Devil's night??? Oh NOOOOOO this is to hard!

 

Are there any characters that you love or identify with?

Enid from Ghost World. Tank Girl. Janeanne Garofalo's charcgter in Romy and Michelle's HS Reunion. Um...THE LAST UNICORN. Red Riding Hood. another tuffy! I'm sure I will think of a million to add later...

 

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 do a lot of embroidery, painting, drawing/sketching and sometimes all of these together. the process depends on what I'm working on. if it is a custom thing for someone I draw it up or make the pattern and get to work. otherwise I spend a lot fo time doing research and gathering reference materials for inspiration, doing a lot of sketching, and then start working on the piece. I make a lot of my own canvases (out of materials that aren't canvas) so that is a fun thing to do as well. I also like shopping for art supplies like paint brushes, acrylic paints, prisma colors (which I would love to have a set of if anyone has any lying around...) embroidery floss (the kind that comes apart- not "craft thread"), hoops, etc.

 

Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? never tried this brand, but Haint sounds good!

 

So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? uh...HA. I mean...I like spontaneous events...as long as I know exactly when and where it will occur...so please bear this in mind!

 

 

 

September 19th

 

What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: oh maaaaan.....so many. But here are a few: these awesome mounted butterlies that have glass on the backside so you can flip it over and see the camouflage on their undersides. octopus in a jar. medical oddity books (or mutter museum books- we passed on these when we visited there and I have regretted it ever since!) I saw this awesome locket with a bumblebee on it that I loved. oh god. I could go on and on.

 

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? oh maaaaaan, i just looked at a blog about this and though I don't wear nail polish these look super badassssss! Jeezzzz. The bright glitter ones def make me wish I could do it but it just looks weird on my nails for some reason...

 

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 LOVE LIPBALM/GLOSS. My very fav was a moonalisa chocolate and lavender one I got a while back in a swap. I also love Tokyo Milk (have opera mint and let them eat cake, but I am SO DOWN to try others) I also LOVE the aveda lip glaze (I have cherry blossom but would love to try raspberry tea) and if they even make it anymore, lip venom was one of my favs I haven't gotten in FOREVER. pots or wands are best for me- I like clear or a slight redish/pinkish tint. please, I prefer non animal tested/natural products though. Most flavors are good- i just really don't like artificial fruit flavors (or even natural citrus ones) but mint, vanilla, cocoa, etc. are great!! oh yeah, and badger balm cocoa butter balm rules. also, the badger double sided one- i was gonna buy one of them but i put it back at the last second. I had the rose tourmaline in my hand. Also, Smith's Minted Rose is AMAZING. LOVE. OH MAN: ok I gotta add somethin: TOKYOMILK DARK Lip Elixirs. Just discovered these- have smoked salt but would love to try dead sexy (or really any of them- they are so awesome!!!)

 

Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?

I had a nice pen I got in HS from my dad that broke recently...I really do like pens, so really SURE. black ink, please. What I would really love to add to my art supply collection is some prisma colors and gouache. But pens are always welcome!

 

-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) SURE. I'm into paints

 

-How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) HECK YES. srsly, anything is welcome. I can use it allll (except right now I can't use oil paints due to lack of studio space and small apt with furry friends.)

 

-How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I have liked some of them in the past! I havent looked recently, but I mean tshirts are cool. I can wear a medium and up (If its really big I can make a dress or something with it so that is cool!)

 

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? Oh god. makeup. its sad to say cuz I have so much of it but I am SUCH A SUCKER. black mascara, some lip balm. brushes. two braids are my default hairstyle (its the only way to keep my hair from smelling like spoiled milk after work!! YIKES!) so I have been looking for some small hairbands that don't snap after one-two uses.

 

Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? HECK YES- And if you make pepper jelly I am a huge fan!!!

 

Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? It depends. Both are nice, but abstract is relative. Nature and landscapes are cool. I love flower macros.

Oh and I have a silicone keyboard cover.

 

SOCK PREFERENCES? I live in sock dreams country so I have many socks...but can always use more! I love LONG ones. I have a pair of long stripy thigh high SOCKS. over the knee is my fav, with designs. but I have wide calves so it's a good bet to try the sock dreams website for their "plus size" reccs. I have also been IN LOVE with the welovecolors.com tye dye tights!!!! the pink, purple, and black (plus size) ones are AWESOME. and the reg size (one size, not plus on these) of the foot traffic combed cotton tights is always a winner.

What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? oooooo.....purple, turquoise, grey would be my color choices. I love a cowl or a scarf. Synthetic fibers please (the soft mid weight stuff is so nice as a scarf!) and if it were lighter that would be cool but I am pretty crazy about winter stuff, coming from MN- just not sure how practical a heavy scarf is here in OR yet...

I use Evan Healy Chamomile day cream every day as well as Villainess slick! oil. And we use the Tom's whole care peppermint (or some kind of mint...) toothpaste. Also, I forgot, but Egyptian Magic. It's pricey so please don't feel obligated but really, I need to get more of this so mostly its just a reminder to myself.

 

Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Sadly I have never read her, though i could try it!!
