Random Questions:

-Favorite City in the US/World? New Orleans

- Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age? at this point? my age.

-If I gave you a toy gun with flashing lights, would you hide and start shooting people from around corners OR would you thank me on the IGI thread and then quietly donate it (a niece, Oxfam, Goodwill, wherever)? (there are no wrong answers for this, so don't be afraid to answer honestly) I probably wouldn't use it. I'd thank you, but then donate it.

- Your favorite feature about yourself: I don't have one these days

- Do you live in a neighborhood or in the middle of nowhere? neighbourhood - condo complex

- Do you like garage sales (boot sales)? sure, but I never seem to find the great deals everyone else does
- I like to slather my food in : cheese

- State fairs or carnivals? Both

- You throw caution to the wind and runaway to join a traveling circus. What job would you want ( a main performer, a side show, a behind the scenes spot, etc) and why? I'd be the person pulling the strings from behind the stage - not so much a main performer, but I'd likely keep things running. It's just who I am.

- What mythical or fantastic race of creatures (dragons, unicorns, griffins, elves, dwarves, faeries, etc.) do you most identify with? I can never pick just one!

- Imagine that you're given a shoebox-sized time capsule, and you are asked to put any number of items in the box that symbolize who you are. The items can be may be anything you can imagine, and money is no object, but they must fit within the box. What do you choose?

- Do you need storage boxes/bottles/containers? Decorated or Plain? I'm starting to run out of space in my BPAL box, so I could probably use another one. Either decorate or plain is fine with me.

- Do you like steampunk & if so what kind of steampunk item would you most like to receive? I like the aesthetic of steampunk, but I don't own anything that's steampunk-ish, so I don't really know what I'd like to receive.

- Do you have an etsy shop? Not anymore. I only ever sold like 2 things, so ...

- Would you like to receive baked goods, if so what kind? I'll pass. I don't even eat the baked goods I make for myself, these days

- What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?

Questions from 25 Feb 2016:
Colouring? So confession time. I coloured *a lot* when I was in college (far more years ago than I want to consider), for the same reason it's become more visible now: stress relief. That said, I don't do it so much anymore these days. No books, no crayons. Too many other things to do!

Wishlists? Check out my signature - there's a Switch Witch (and many other) blog posts that should help you out. And I promise, I will update with the answers that were blank. I kinda sneaked in at the last minute.

Lush? There are a few shampoos I like, but everything pretty much smells the same to me. Let me see ... Big Shampoo. I'd like to try out the Fairly Traded Honey shampoo, and specifically from the UK? Jersey Bounce (holy heck, why do we not have this in the US?)

Crochet? Sure! Hats & scarves, although it's too warm to wear anything

Allergies? I listed them in my questionnaire, but I don't think I listed this one: I'm allergic to cigarette smoke.

Comics/Graphic Novels? I wish I could show you my bookshelf of "to read" books, because it's mostly graphic novels I think I have a link to my Goodreads bookshelves, so check that out to see what I already have, and I have a separate list on Amazon just for graphic novels.

Nail Polish? I'm tempted to buy the ... um ... Bright Red Dildo polish from BPTP, but that's the only one I've considered of late; I really don't do anything with my nails, so polish really wouldn't get used.

Crafty? I take pictures, and I occasionally make jewelry - simple jewelry, but still jewelry.

BPTP Products? Perfume oils, hair gloss & soap. I don't use Atmos & I can't use the bath oils (skin allergy - I break out)

Nail Wraps: I won't use them, sorry.

Teas/Spices/Spice Rubs/Specialty Ingredients from a local tea & spice shop? I'm good here, thank you. I'm swimming in tea & spices!

Questions from 26 February 2016
Speaking of spices - where's your spicy/heat threshold? (scale of 1 - 10 - 1 being nothing more than black pepper, 10 being ghost pepper+): I'd say maybe 3-4, but it really depends on the spice.

Preferred book format? Physical, PDF, Kindle, etc? For me, it depends on the kind of book. For graphic novels, I want physical books. For everything else, Kindle

Questions from 27 February 2016
Would you be interested in any handmade critters? Sure! I adore hand-made beasties (crocheted, knitted, sewn together fabric, etc), and have no preference as to what kind of beastie. It could be a bat, an octopus, a dragon ... anything is wonderful

Since this is the Spring Fools' round, is there anything that goes with the theme of April Fool's Day or spring that might be fun to add to your package? Sure (I say that a lot)! Have fun with it! No glitter or confetti, though - my cat gets into *everything* and tries to eat everything.

Pet owners - would you like any kind of toy or supply for your pet? My cat loves catnip. She's still going nuts over the catnip baggies I received during the 12-days-of-Christmas swap!

Geek paraphernalia! Almost everyone here has SOME sort of geek-love, whether it is Harry potter, Horror movies, graphic novels, science, etc. So would you be interested in any kind of items related to your geek-ish interests? Sounds good to me!

Any yarn, plastic, metal, or fabric sensitivities? None that I'm aware ...

Would you like pretty stationery/note cards, etc, for writing snail mail? I'm always looking for some inexpensive blank cards to use as "Thank You" cards when sending swap & sales packages, but otherwise, they wouldn't really get used.

If you could have any BPALs right now (GC, LE, HTF) what would they be? Give examples of at least a few of each category: From my Wishlist, these are the ones I'd love bottles of:
GC: Fenris Wolf, Anteros, Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo, Lust
LE: Ice (Kabuki), Krampus (2014 Yules)
HTF: Pallas Athene, Egyptian Amber SN, Boomslang (original), Black Lace (non Apple), Orange Blossom SN, Red Musk SN

Any places you would like gift cards from? Starbucks, PB Soapworks, BPAL/BPTP, Target

Do you wear make-up? Any brands you like? Color preferences? I don't wear makeup at all.

Junk food and candy? Dark chocolate, salted caramels, and a fondness for Cherry/Strawberry/Watermelon Blow Pops

Witchee, regarding your fave TV shows, would you be interested in the associated DVDs? Fan books? Not so much with Fan Books, and I own DVDs for most of the shows I watch (except Agent Carter ... that's still on my Amazon Wishlist).

Questions from 28 Feb 2016
Do you need any items for your kitchen (linens, gadgets, cooking supplies, etc.)? I can never think of anything to answer this; I'm sure there are, but I can't think of anything right now.

Gardens/plants: I am dreaming of spring, dear witch: Do you like plants? Do you have any? Indoor potted plants? A balcony bed? A yard? Do you want/need anything? I love plants, and I love to garden. Unfortunately, I don't have a balcony or patio, and my cat eats everything. Last time I tried to grow grass for my cat to eat, I ended up with a ton of bugs.


Questions from 29 Feb 2016
If I were to make you something based on one or more interests mentioned in your Q'aire/blog, would you prefer something you could wear, something that hangs on a wall, or something that sits on a shelf (or couch or wherever) ? Yes, to all of the questions.
Are you in need of BPAL storage? More BPTP storage - my Hairgloss box is full.

Questions from 1 March 2016
Hi, witchee! Do you like candles? Incense? Wax melts? Candles yes. Incense so-so. Not so much melts.

BAGS! Do you like/want/need any kind of bags? Purses (big, small, medium), storage type bags, totes, re-usable grocery bags, make up or craft supply bags . . . anything? And if so, please give as much info as possible about type, color, use, fabric, etc I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I always seem to be looking for more bags - cross-body style purses, occasional re-usable grocery bags w/out store logos across them

I make handmade journals/albums/smashbooks/junk journals. Would you be interested in anything like that? I wish. I love them, but they never get used

Questions from 2 March 2016
What style of bag from here (if any) would you like? You can easily narrow down the choices on the side menu - but I only want to know the style, not the pattern! http://eu.baba-store...bags-and-purses
Oh my goodness, these are gorgeous. I kind of like the small messenger bags.

If you like Harry Potter stuff, what house do you belong in? If you like Game of Thrones, what family? Old Pottermore: Ravenclaw. New Pottermore: Gryffindor. Game of Thrones? That's a tough one. I'm not sure I'd belong to any house.

What's your favorite animal/totem? Would you be interested in a small figurine of said animal from this etsy user? I have a difficult time narrowing things down to just 1! I love dolphins, foxes, birds of prey, dragons, owls, wolves ...

Anything exciting to you in PBSW's Spring Collection? Lemony Biscuit is always a favourite - soaps or sugar scrub. I'd love to try Potting Shed

Questions from 3 March 2016
Witchee, are you interested in this kind of music (it's one of my favorites)? Mm ... not really my thing.

Oh dead Witchee, how do you feel about Sakura Matsuri? Do you like Green Tea and Sakura flavored desserts/treats? Decorations or jewelry with a cherry blossom theme? Sure!

Questions from 7 March 2016
Oh Witchee, have you seen the kimono tops that are all the rage right now? Would you like one?

Plain edge

I sometimes like to make cute little fantasy miniature sculpture, like fairy doors, or miniature garden gnomes for potted plants, or I've even made a couple of tiny smaug's based on this cartoon.

The Fairy box is beautiful, and Smaug is adorable

If you won a gift certificate for $100 (Or similar amount in your country) that could be used ANYWHERE what would you get? BPAL, always Amazon & iTunes also work well.

Something that you look forward to each spring, or that when you see it (hear it/smell it/taste it, etc) you think "Yes! Spring is here!" or something along those lines Not really sure - I live in Texas, and we don't really get "Spring" here, so much as we get "hotter"
