Do you have a wood-burning fireplace or fire pit, and if so would you like handmade firestarters or scenting bundles to throw on it? (think bundles of apple wood chips and cinnamon bark, or little wax/herb/paper bundles with a wick)
No I don't.

If you said you liked candles/melts/incense/etc., what are your favorite scents for such things?
I'm up for anything! Similar to my perfume note likes
Do you like to cook and would you be interested in cookbooks? If so, what kind?
Gluten free. Anything cool
Do you like games (board/card), and if so what kind and for how many players?
Not really

Would you be interested in:

- Dried honeycrisp apples No. Don't think customs would approve :-)

- Applesauce (with red hots for sweetness and cinnamon) No. As above

- Rose petal liqueur Sound intriguing

- Blackberry, Strawberry Rhubarb, or Peach Jam No thanks

- garlic dill pickles I would but again customs and probably a pain to ship internationally

- raw honey from bees on our property No, thanks

- Baked or homemade goods (rum balls, spritz cookies, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, fudge, cranberry bliss bars, chocolate topped toffee, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, princess buttercups, chex mixes, trail mixes, etc.)
Feel free to request a certain type of favorite thing you like. I have a food handlers license and I will make sure everything is very sterile, I am ultra virgo about cleanliness. I will avoid allergens like the plague if you are allergic to certain things. I can do gluten free baked things and/or we could do sugar free if that is a must.
No thanks - as per customs comment above

- handsewn project bags or makeup bags? We do different sizes, some with zippers, some with draw strings. I can get all kinds of fandom type fabric like Walking Dead, Doctor Who, Nightmare Before Christmas, Hello Kitty, Harry Potter, My Little Pony, Star Wars, Mario Brothers, etc. I have some glittery bats, skulls, etc. too.
No thanks


- yarn, roving, batts, fiber? I have a LOT of really nice "farty" or "snobby" yarn in semi-solids, self striping, and gradients. Or I can make batts with our drum carder. I have roving and wool too if you spin. Or I have some handspun yarn in different colors/weights as well.
No thanks

A custom blend would probably be patchouli, vanilla, frangipani, rum

I love drawing! Either fanart chibis on the tablet or portrait work in graphite pencil... but it's been a while..so I'd love to use this as an excuse to draw something for you! If you could commission an art piece, would you choose traditional or digital artwork- and what would it be of?

Digital. Not entirely sure but I am sure it would be great!
