Home for the Holidays

Tony sat by the fire finishing up putting ornaments on the Christmas tree. It was a tradition in the Rogers-Stark household to put the tree up the night before with the usual red, gold, and a splash of blue ornaments decorating the tree. They would throw in some of the handmade one's Peter and Harley made but as Tony looked at each one it just made him sadder and sadder.

“So, I couldn’t find the box with the star and garland, but we could always go get a new one. It’s time for a new star anyways, it’s as old as Harley.” Steve chuckled as he walked in carrying a box that was label Christmas. Steve sat the box down looking over at his husband who was uncharacteristically silent. The man that had thousands of words. The man that would be bouncing around the house from excitement with the holiday sprite. Steve sat the box down and walked over to Tony peeking over his shoulder. He was holding a poorly painted ball that said mary chirstmass fom Harley.

“Hey, Tony, what’s wrong?” Tony sat the ornament back into the box shoving it off to the side.

“Nothing, just decorating the tree. Which box has the stockings in it?” Steve places his hands-on top of Tony’s hands to stop him from rummaging through the boxes. “Darling, what’s wrong? It’s Christmas. We should have jingle bells playing throughout the house, cookies baking in the kitchen, and wrapping presents. You just seem off.” Tony pushed Steve away out of frustration. Of course, he was off half of his family wasn’t here to celebrate with.

“I don’t know, Steve, maybe I’m feeling a little down because my two sons won’t be home this year for the first time in twenty-three years. It just doesn’t feel like Christmas.” Tony huffed moving back to the tree to “fix” the decorations.

“Yeah, I know. I feel the missing presence too. It’s just we knew this would happen at some point. Peter is off at MIT and Harley down in Tennessee living his life. We got to let them grow up.” Tony turned around and glared at Steve.

“But Steve they’re our kids, no matter how grown up they become. They should still come home for the holidays.” Tony closed his eyes. He felt like he did something wrong. Had they not loved them enough or cared enough for them to come home. Tony could remember holidays he missed with his parents and then he also could remember the holidays he spent passed out drunk with no family around. After he met Steve, he promised to himself that the holidays would be special. After they had their sons Tony made sure Christmas was the most wonderful time of year.

“Tony, don’t do that,” Steve said sitting down on the couch, gesturing for him to come to sit next to him.

“Do what, Steve?” Tony did as ask, sitting down next to his husband. Steve grabbed hold of Tony’s hand running a thumb along his knuckles.

“Self-deprecate and over analyze everything. Our kids had an amazing childhood and you were the best father that any child could ask for. We just have to understand that kids grow up and want to do their own things. Peter and MJ celebrating in Boston and Harley is trying to get his tech business up and running. It’s just one Christmas, okay darling. We will also get to facetime them tomorrow so, it will kind of feel like Christmas. So, let’s finish up decorating, and then we can make Rogers famous hot chocolate.” Steve kissed the top of Tony’s head causing a smile to spread over Tony’s face.

Tony sat up wiping the sleep from his eyes. He looked over at his phone knowing it was way too early since Steve was still in bed. Tony stretch wrapping his robe around his shoulders to make his way to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. He was so sleep deprived that he didn’t even hear the snicking coming from the living room as he walked past.

“Dad! Are you going to come say hello?” Tony stopped what he was doing to turn around to see his boys.

“Merry Christmas, Dad,” shouted Peter and Harley. Tony ran over to them and wrapping them in a tight hug. He was a man that could have everything he ever wanted but this was the best Christmas present he could ever ask for. To have his family together for the holidays.

“Hey, what’s all that noise babe? Who’s here?” Steve walked in rubbing his eyes to find his sons. “Boys, how are you here? I thought you couldn’t make it this year.” Steve came over giving Peter and Harley both a hug.

“This was all Peter’s idea. He thought it was a good idea to tell you we wouldn’t make it this year and then surprise you for Christmas.” Harley grinned.

“Now what does a person supposed to do to get some of that Rogers famous hot chocolate.” Peter grinned through a mouth full of cookies. Steve went into the kitchen to whip a couple of mugs up while Peter and Harley fight over the last cookie on the plate. Tony just smiled at his perfect family.

“Peter, Harley, help your pops carry the mugs in the room so we can open gifts.” Peter and Harley looked at each other guilty.

“We didn’t get both of you anything for Christmas. Life really has been busy in the last couple of weeks.” Peter said.

“You guys are the only gifts me and your father could ever want. Right, Tony.” Tony just smiled hugging his boys one more time.

𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐊 𝟏𝟑: 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊

@gallaghertasks

as a sentimental person bea loved giving gifts, and in the lead up to the holidays she spent a lot of time acquiring presents to give to the people most important to her. she gave small tins of homemade cookies to all of her friends, but she wanted to do things in addition to that. for @mirasutton she got a bracelet featuring amethyst, mira’s birthstone, and a framed picture of the two of them in berlin. she gave @margotlusignan a pair of driving gloves, @honeybelon a fountain pen for her calligraphy, @ariabeck a pair of platform shoes to add to her collection, @jemfisch a set of guitar picks, and @peachesfm a book of christmas-themes ghost stories. she got coordinating slippers for the residents of room 308, @rainafms @calypsomarshall @dailypriya, as well as matching santa hats for mango and trixie. one present stayed hidden in her desk drawer: a leather-bound copy of the princess bride that she knew she would never give to @dxnnyboi but that she couldn’t stop herself from buying anyway.

bea wasn’t in a good place when the semester ended, and she was mostly glad to be going home. she drove up to massachusetts with mira, glad to have her best friend with her to help keep her sane during the nine hour drive. there was something very comforting about being able to talk and listen to sad music as they got further and further away from a place that bea really needed a break from. after dropping mira off she took the ferry to nantucket, finally home after a painfully long day.

the holidays had been difficult for bea since her mother’s disappearance. there was an empty place at their table and a hole in their hearts that nothing could fill. bea and her grandmother had always been close - areta raised her just as much as her mother did. being away from her for most of the year was hard and she cherished the time they had together, but things were undeniably different. she and her grandmother decorated their tree, trying to stay composed as they rifled through handmade ornaments that held memories of her mother. they baked cookies in silence and pretended that the reason they weren’t speaking was so that they could listen to the classical music on the radio. they looked at old photographs and held each other’s hands tightly, hoping that everything left unsaid would be understood. bea had planned to teach herself how to play songs from evermore (i’m sorry) while she was home and she spent hours at the piano, singing until she cried and her grandmother made her stop.

it wasn’t all sad. trixie loved running down the beach and playing chicken with the waves. bea got to see some of her oldest friends, and while it was awkward trying to dodge questions about school, it was also nice to be with people who’d known her for her whole life and who had no connection to the spy world whatsoever. she went to a bonfire on the beach and spent a night in her friend’s basement watching lifetime christmas movies and getting drunk on eggnog. mira came to visit for a day and bea always liked showing her the place where she grew up. bea’s grandmother loves mira and probably sees a bit of herself in her, and having mira there definitely lightened things up in the ng household. and then she got to go to boston to be with mira’s family. being welcomed into the coleman’s home genuinely warmed her heart and made her feel more equipped to face gallagher once more. on the 30th she and mira drove back down to roseville, and though bea was nervous about everything that was to come, there was a flicker of hope inside her for the new year.

Fandom Merch for sale!

Hi guys! I’m finally out of college and back home for a few months between jobs, in order to get my life together before grad school. Part of that is cleaning out a whole lot of stuff from past obsessions of mine. If anyone still follows me from several years ago, maybe you remember I was hugely into Superwholock, and so I have a lot of fandom merchandise lying around that I purchased at Boston Comic Con some years back. I need to get rid of it to make space, so I was hoping to sell it off for cheap. I’ve learned my lesson to be stringent in what I buy at these comic conventions, and limit my purchases to things I can actually use.

As you know, merchandise at conventions are overpriced, so I paid a modest sum for some of these things. But I’m more concerned about making sure they go to someone who’d appreciate them in the way I never was able to, so I’m cool with selling them for a few bucks. These items were never taken out of the packaging I bought them in until now, to take photos of them.

I have three prints, all are ~ 10x8 in:

Firefly

Jim Moriarty from BBC Sherlock

The Master from Doctor Who

The first two are loose, and the third is in a thick protective plastic sheath that I bought for it at the time. It can slide easily in and out of it. They are printed on glossy photo paper, the Master one looks like it’s printed on slightly nicer paper. They’re all untouched, no fingerprints etc. I bought these with the intention of framing and hanging them and well, that never happened (along with my several photo ops and autographs...). I paid ~$20 for each plus $5 for the plastic on that last one, but I will sell them for, idk, $10 each? If you want two, it will be $15, and if you want all three, it will be $20. I’ll throw in the plastic protective sleeve for free, it prevents it from getting bent.

I also have this:

This is a deck of Supernatural trading cards I bought at the convention. The cards come in a clear hard plastic box. There are 72 cards, a full base set.

I think they’re from season 3. The deck is divided into a John Winchester set, a Dean set, and a Sam set. The wrapper says there’s a chance of special cards in each pack, etc etc, but this one doesn’t have any, sorry :/ However, this is the only time I’ve seen these cards so idk if they are popular or a collector’s item or anything. Again, never used, taken out once when I got them and once just now for photos, so pristine condition. How they are, in the box, is exactly how I bought them, I did not take them out of the pack. I do not remember how much I paid for these, my inkling is somewhere in the vicinity of $15. I’m happy to part with them for $5, box included.

I have other official Supernatural merchandise from Boston Comic Con - a limited edition bust of Dean from ‘The Magnificent Seven’ episode of which 250 were made, and a limited edition miniature model of the ‘67 Chevy Impala. I paid between $20-$30 for each of those. Those things I’d planned on keeping but if someone’s super interested then I’d probably be willing to sell them too.

I have merchandise NOT from Boston Comic Con as well. I am in possession of, god, at least like 15 mildly used Supernatural posters?? They traveled with me to college, so they have been put up and taken down at least once or twice, but apart from the corners they are in good condition. They were purchased at my uni’s campus poster fair and I have not seen them for sale in stores like FYE, Newbury Comics, etc. Most are full size, some vertical, some horizontal, glossy. My closet is overflowing with them. I think they were from the season 5-6 era. Here is the one smaller, 17 x 11, non-glossy one I have:

I think I have a couple Doctor Who and Sherlock ones as well. I bought each for around $10, I’ll take $5 for them, if you want multiple I can knock it down or smth. I’m not really sure how to ship posters, so that will be an adventure.

I also have the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary magazine package, which includes a 113-page magazine commemorating The Day of the Doctor and 50 years of Doctor Who history, an additional smaller magazine in the style of the 60s era about the First Doctor, and a set of large color cards in honor of each Doctor. I’m not keen to sell this, but if someone really really wants it, I’d be willing to chat.

I HAVE A FEW THINGS FOR GIVEAWAY. THESE ARE MOSTLY NOT OFFICIAL MERCHANDISE.

While digging through my things, I found relics of my time doing GISHWHES and other Misha-related activities. Firstly, I have a GISHWHES bumper sticker, from the year of the Wooster mascot (2013 maybe?). I had the Elopus one too but... I threw it out just a couple days ago, whoops. If someone wants this, it’s yours.

Also I... don’t know what kind of crack I was on (Misha-flavored, probably) when I made these, but... I am giving away my handmade set of Misha Collins christmas ornaments:

There’s 30 in total. They’re just laminated pictures of Misha, with pieces of string or floss (?? works good tho, and smells nice) as hooks.

One is a tree-topper, the one with the paper clip. The rest are about 4-7 inches long. They actually look pretty nice imo lmao but uhh, I think it’s time to let them go :P

Seeing as these are photos from the internet and I have no copyright ownership whatsoever, I’m giving them away rather than selling them.

Lastly, I have three pieces of fan art I purchased at the artists alley at Boston Comic Con a few years ago. I’d like to give these away, because my other option is throwing them out, as selling them would be art theft and I’m not here to make a profit on others’ art. They are all from the same artist; two are Supernatural, and one is Loki. Send me a message if you’d like to see photos of them.

If you are interested in one or more of these, or would like more information or photos, feel free to send me a non-anon ask or a chat message. I will ship anywhere in the U.S., and I will pay for the shipping. If you are outside the U.S. and really want one of these items, I may be able to give it to you with a small fee for the added shipping. I do not use Paypal, so payment in the form of an Amazon eGift Card is preferred.

If I can’t sell these within a couple of weeks, I’ll either give them to Good Will or throw them out. I feel like the best way for me to reach people who would most appreciate these items is on here, so I thought I’d give this a shot first. Thanks for reading this long post :)

#supernatural #doctor who #sherlock #superwholock #firefly #bear with me guys i've never sold anything before #i will self-reblog probably a handful of times this week sorry #long post #mine #i'd hate to just throw this stuff out or give it to consignment where the chances of some fan seeing them are low

Imagine a game of White Elephant between the companions, the sort where there's an array of presents that each of them have contributed and there's steals involved. Who steals from who and what does everyone end up with at the end of the night?

Mod did two of these type of Gift exchanges over the Holidays! MOD ISSORRY FOR BEING SO LATE AHHHH FORGIVE HER.

Ummm so I’m just gonna lay out somerules since everyone seems to play this game differently.Everyone get’s a number and picks or steals anonymous presents from a bunch inthat order, but the person who goes first has the choice to steal at the endsince they couldn’t at the beginning!!And a gift can only be stolen a maximum 3 times! so the third time the samegift is stolen, no one else can steal from you anymore!

I’m going to list companions in orderof the turns they got!Ummm, you might want to read them all for them in order for them to makesense…

Click “Keep Reading” to see the answers! Or; If you’re on mobile Android and the “Keep Reading” link doesn’t appear;check out the answers here

Dogmeat: Solehad just brought Dogmeat a Brahmin Bone so he was just happy to watch from thesidelines and bark loudly with everyone when things got heated.

Deacon: Somehowhe got super lucky and ended up getting to go first, much to everyone’s dismaysince he bragged about it. He tiptoed around the batch of presents, choosingthe biggest one of course, even though it wasn’t even really wrapped, more likejust tossed in a bag. Upon opening the unusually large and heavy gift, it wasrevealed to just be a really large heavy pipe.“What the hell guys?”“Pipe is good weapon!”Of course it was from Strong, and of course no one would be stealing that fromhim, besides maybe Strong himself! Good thing he gets to steal at the end.

Ada: Ada wasn’t exactlysure why she was invited to play a gift exchange since she’s just a robot. Butshe brought a gift of miscellaneous parts to build stuff, you could probablymod weapons with them too. She just put them all in a box and stuck a crunchedup ball of newspaper to the lid.Ada picked out a small box that she figured would be easy to open with robothands, and was surprised to see it was a rather nice pair of sunglasses.“What!!! You guys are kidding, those glasses are so cool!!” Deacon cried out.“Shut up, you’re fault for being greedy!! They’re Ada’s!!” Piper piped up,trying to secure the classes to Ada’s face.“Thank you for the gift.” Ada answered, crooked glasses on her metal head.

Codsworth: ‘Ohmy there seems to be a range of gifts here!” Codsworth tried to joke, handingSole his ticket that had the number 3 on it. He carefully floated around and picked a random gift from the pile, notinterested in stealing anyone’s gift from them, (How rude!) He ended upopening… a stack of various magazines, a few comics and even a few 18+ones. “Oh my…” replied Codsworth, moving all the books to a pile.“You’re welcome!! See that’s how you give gifts Strong!!” Deacon piped up,owning up to the gift.“Shit! Is that Grognak in there?” MacCready piped up as well, his interestpeeking as everyone else laughed.“You bet kid!!” Deacon smiled.

Hancock: It was Hancock’s turn to choose a gift now and hestepped up to plate. “Don’t worry Cods, I ain’t the kinda guy to steal anotherman’s porn.” He joked, heading to the batch of presents and picking one from theremaining. He gently shook the one he picked and sat back down to open it. Hancockhimself has wrapped up a relatively in shape tricorn hat, hoping to foolwhoever opened it, but of course he also filled it up with an assortment ofused, new and empty chems of various sorts… He unwrapped the present he chose tofind a relatively nice and untarnished switchblade. “Oh shit! This is so sweet.” He toyed with it, pretending to stab X6-88 who wassitting next to him.“Don’t even pretend, ghoul.” X6 replied, glaring at him, a firm hand on Hancock’swrist.

Gage: “I’mstarting to think you guys don’t know what a gift is.” He stepped up to takehis turn not really interesting in anyone else’s gifts, he looked around thelot of gifts and companions seeing who would have wrapped what and who wouldhave actually maybe thought of a good gift. “Alright is this is some weapon of mass destruction or a lot of useless comicsor attire, the rest of you guys are truly screwed.” Sitting down and openingthe box he found himself a ¾ full bottle of bourbon. He shrugged.“This would have been good if whoever wrapped it didn’t drink half of it.”“Eh, A man gets thirsty, don’t want it give it back!” Old Longfellow piped up,moving his flask from his mouth back to his pocket.

Curie: “Ohmy, that means it’s my turn now yes? Number six!” Curie was super excited to beable to participate in the gift exchange with everyone. She even really lovedpicking out what to bring to the exchange. She settled on teddy bear with somemedical supplies and stimpacks, and tried to wrap it best she could with whatshe had. She looked for a present from the middle, and picked out the nicestwrapped one of the bunch. She sat back down smiling as everyone watched whathorrors would unfold next. When she opened it though, a really pretty handmadeornament was revealed. “Oh my goodness this is beautiful! Thank you!”Preston smiled relieved it was Curie who opened his present and not half ofthese other hoodlums he called his friends, “You’re welcome, I was hopingsomeone would appreciate it, Sturges helped me make it.”Needless to say, even if Curie had opened the best present in the world, no onewould have had the heart to steal from her.

Preston: AfterCurie it was conveniently Preston’s turn. He turned the remaining stack ofpresent in the middle and picked out a decent sized one and returned to hisseat to open it. Lucky for him, he ended up opening Hancock’s gift of theTricorn hat. Honestly Preston immediately knew it was Hancock, and was proud ofhim for not just wrapping chems, until they all spilled out onto the floor.Preston tried to pretend to be thankful, and smiled and said his thanks despitehis disinterest in chems.“He, don’t look so glum, that hat would totally suit you!” Hancock laughed, hisplan having worked, seeing Preston’s surprised face turn sour.

MacCready: “Awwwsweet my turn!!” MacCready had packed a nice cache of ammo and a few candiesinto a bag and was planning on just picking his own gift until the stack ofcomics and mags were revealed. And since they were revealed, MacCready was beingreally impatient in his seat, trying to eye up Codsworth’s stack of magazinesfrom across the circle. He quickly stood up and walked over to the Mr. Handyand grabbed his stack of books. “No hard feeling right?” MacCready gave therobot a friendly tap on his… back. And returned to his seat a big smile on hisface as everyone else shook their heads.“Heyyy you guys mind your own business, a man can have his interests!”“Well then I must steal or pick a new gift yes?” Codsworth asked, receivingconfirmation, he looked around at everyone’s gifts and saw Preston lookingrather unimpressed. He flew over and took the hat from Preston, much to hissurprise.“Well I’m always looking for new headgear these days, hope you don’t mind Sir.”Preston nodded his thanks and returned to the circle to pick a new gift ratherthan steal. This time he got luck and picked Curies adorable gift, which heappreciated and said his thanks.

Piper: Sincethere were so few girls in the gift exchange, Piper decided it would behilarious to bring some ladies undergarments. And they were actually super niceall things considered. She was just waiting for one of the guys to pick hergift. On her turn she piced out a decently heavy box, not wanting to seal fromanyone. She ended up opening MacCready’s stash of ammo and candy. “Oh whaaaat this is actually super sweet, not going to lie. And here I thoughthe lot of you had no idea how to be considerate.” She joked, already startingto dig into the candies.“You’re welcome!! Now you can’t make fun of me for choosing this!” MacCreadyresponded, barely paying attention as he started to skim through his comics.

Danse: Hewas sitting nervously in his seat. He was starting to think he went overboardwith the gift he brought. He ended up fixing up a power fist piece from thejunk pile at the Boston Airport and putting it in the pile since he had no ideawhat else to bring. When it was finally his turn he stood, thinking if heshould take the ammo crate Piper just opened or if he should just pick a newgift. He gave in and reached for a smaller bag amongst what was left, earning amuffled laugh from Piper. Danse hesitated for a moment but ended up stickingwith his decision. And as he opened his gift and pulled out ladies undergarments, his face turnedbright red as he shoved them quickly back into the bag and put the bag on thefloor. Everyone burst out laughing as he put his head in his hands. Why did hehand out with these people.“Hey hey Danse!! Don’t worry !! You can give those to your girlfriend if youever find one!!” Piper managed to say between laughs

Cait: Manshe was having a blast laughing at everyone’s gifts they got, if she would haveknow it was gonna be a bunch of gag gifts, she wouldn’t have tried so hardsharpening and cleaning the switchblade she brought. But she was glad Hancocklike it, and got a laugh out of him pretending to stab X6. She stood, thinkingcarefully about what to steel or if she’d risk taking the last large box thatremaining in the middle. The booze and ammo was pretty tempting but she gave into curiosity and took the box from the middle,“Shit this is heavy what the hell is in here?” Cait asked to no one inparticular.What out! It could be a pipe!” Deacon warned.“You wish.” She answered still laughing about it. When she opened the box, a Powerfistwas revealed and she nearly lost her mind.“Holy Shite!! This is flipping awesome!!” She cried out.Danse just gave a small wave, still embarrassed. Lucky for him, Cait gave him akiss on the cheek as thanks.

X6-88: Hefelt bad for Danse, but not nearly enough to take that burden off hisshoulders, unfortunately Danse would be stuck with that for the rest of thegame. He looked around the circle at everyone before standing and deciding totake a smallish container from the remaining few in the middle. He shook itgently and immediately knew what it was and was happy with his choice. Heswiftly opened the box, a tiny smile gracing his lips as he revealed a stash ofcaps, and a couple fusion cells mixed in. He made a good choice. And theinvestment on the sunglasses he brought had been returned.“What the hell who just gives away caps like that? That’s not allowed.” Deaconcomplained, still holding onto his pipe.Hey, I don’t know what you’re talking about, that’s what I call a gift if I’veever seen one.” Gage owned up to having packaged it. Proud of his work.

Old Longfellow: Hehad been having a good chuckle here and there, but was mostly trying to drownout the noise of the rowdy kids by sipping from his flask. When it was finallyhis turn, there were only 3 gifts left in the middle. But lucky for everyonewho already had something they wanted, he didn’t care too much with what hewould end up with. Picking a random box from the remaining, he quickly openedit, revealing pristine carton of cigarettes.“Well, shit, and here I thought I didn’t care which one I’d have at the end. Youkids better not still this from me. An old man needs his tobacco.” He leaned backin his chair, fumbling around trying to open a pack. He was at least gonna haveone before someone stole it from him.

Nick Valentine: Hehad been sitting off to the side a bit, with Curie Preston, enjoying a goodchuckle every once in a while at some of the gag gifts but mostly just keepingto himself and resigning to the end when it was finally his turn. He stood,cracking something in his back as he eyed up the carton of cigarettes he hadbrought to the exchange. He could just keep his own gift, but what was the funin that, he wasn’t THAT old. “Don’t worry Longfellow, I wont take your cigs as much as I want to.” Hesubmitted to choosing a gift from the centre. Picking a decent sized box with apaper bow he opened it to reveal a miscellaneous assortment of parts.Everyone tried to hold back laughter, thinking how fitting it was for thefalling apart synth to get a box of parts.“Yeah yeah laugh it up. I get it I’m falling apart, Haha.” He looked aroundseeing Sole smile at him trying to comfort him. “Guess I could always use thisstuff to fix up a couple guns right?”

Strong: “Strong’sturn now?” Everyone else had already gone and had gifts sitting in their laps.“Yep, go on Strong!” Cait encouraged.“Strong will take the large Pipe back please puny human.” He reached for thepipe he brought to the exchanged, insulted Deacon didn’t appreciate it andfigured he’d use it himself.“Oh yeah!! Thanks big buy!! You had be waiting all night!” Deacon was kiddy, helooked around the circles at everyone’s faces as they huddled trying to keep theirgifts out of sight, or at least most of them were trying to do so, ahem Danseahem.Now Deacon was faced with a dilemma, steal an awesome gift from someone, orrisk it all on the last one?“I can’t get bad luck twice right?” The curiousity was killing him and he endedup reaching for the last gift which was considerably smaller than the one heinitially chose. Unwrapping it revealed. A couple decently clean mugs and a 200year old can of instant coffee.“If you like, I can make you a cup of that!” Codsworth perked up, happy someonefinally opened the gift he brought.“Ahhh hell at least it’s not a Steel Pipe, I could use a drink.” Deaconsubmitted.

ANNE ELIZABETH’S FAVORITE HOLIDAY TRADITIONS

Ornaments and Remembrances

Opening holiday storage boxes is an emotional experience. We carefully unwrap childhood trinkets, handmade ornaments, craft projects, old pictures, weathered stockings, and scented candles. Even as the wood in the fireplace snaps and crackles, emitting small plumes of smoke, we carefully fill the surfaces of the living room, every table, chair, and couch with our mementoes. Putting together an old recycled Christmas tree and placing the cool-lights around, we place the ornaments together.

For my husband and me, this has become a time of heartbreaking sorrows and soul-touching moments, remembering those who have passed or those who have become physically or mentally more fragile. We honor these precious souls by decorating ornaments with their names, quotes, or pictures to honor each spirit with a unique creation and then we place it on the tree. It does not erase the pain, but it helps us celebrate treasured souls and share experiences about what these individuals have meant to us.

As we dim the lights and plug in the tree, we are grateful for each opportunity to love. Every day is a gift, whether it is for a brief moment or a lifetime, it adds to life’s journey. From our home to yours: May your holiday season be blessed with health, happiness, and delight, and may peace and joy flourish.

Do you have handmade ornaments? Do you treasure them? And, how do you remember those who have passed?

Time

During the holidays, music fills the house. Some of our favorite singers are Eartha Kitt and Nat King Cole. The holiday classics make us nostalgic, and I love those times when my husband pulls me into his arms and dances with me. Oh, to dwell in those romantic moments, as we cuddle close and move slowly to the rhythm. This harmonious connection chases away every thought, except for one–being together. As my husband nuzzles my neck, I smile musing on the fact that this is my all-time favorite part of the holidays. Being together. Connection and music, whether it comes from the stereo or from our hearts, this time is the best gift of all.

Is there something special you do with your mate, a friend, or family member?

Holiday Sensations

On Christmas Eve, it’s a tradition in our home to make hot cider. I’ll pull out the chipped crockpot with the broken handle. After rinsing the detachable bowl and top, I’ll add fresh cider, granny smith apple slices (leaving the skin on), the peel of half of a lemon and the entire peel of a whole orange. Then I’ll add three cinnamon sticks, a dash of allspice, and anise, and as soon as it heats to a boil I’ll add a tablespoon of maple syrup. After stirring in the syrup for a full minute, I turn the heat down to warm and prepare to serve it about twenty minutes later. The scent of mulled-goodness fills the room as I make popcorn with real butter and a dash of pink salt. It might not be the most gourmet approach, but for us, the taste sensations are delicious. Have a blessed holiday season!

Are there any special recipes that you make during the holiday season?

Raise Your Voice

Holiday songs remind me of my childhood. Attending church with my parents and brother, and listening to the exuberance with which the congregation sang inspired intense warmth and comfort. Voices lifted in song varied from out-of-key to perfectly pitched tones, and it was wondrous! Each individual contributed to the joy as we created these beautiful sounds together.

After services, most of the congregation was full of cheer and would hurry outside for hot cocoa or tea. With cups in hand, we walked as a group down to the live action crèche. It was here that we sang the last Christmas song of the night, Away In The Manger. Of course, the goats bleated and donkeys brayed along with the clucking chickens and mooing cow; and all the sounds blended together. To this day, I still wonder if the animals were commenting or singing along.

Do you have a special holiday song, and why is it a favorite?

Snowflakes

Living in Southern California, snow is a rarity. In Julian, we see snowstorms now and then, but nothing can compare to the snow seen in the rest of the United States. Yet, we are full of glee the moment a flake drops from the sky. I always rush outside and turn my face upward in hope of tasting the first snowflake. When I was little, I believed that each snowflake tasted differently, because my brother said that this was so. Even though, I’m all grown-up now, in my imagination I still pretend that there are sorts of unique flavors out there, and I’ll keep catching snowflakes in remembrance of him.

Are you ever tempted to catch snowflakes on your tongue? What’s your favorite childhood winter memory?

Halloweenie Switch Witch 2017

FAQ: I’m going to compress my answers to similar questions up here at the top - the lesser asked/more unique questions will be below in the order asked.

Soaps, lotions, etc: Yes to almost all lotions, as long as the scent is light or non-existent and there’s no coloring - whips, butters, etc especially as hugely dry skin over most of our bodies is a thing. Face products, I’m normal right in the middle, with occasional moderate t-zone oiliness but not a lot. Hand soaps in pumps like for bathrooms and kitchens are a yes, again with light scent and no color. Shampoos/conditioners, etc - my hair is dry but my scalp is (usually) oily with occasional dandruff issues. It’s wavy-curly or frizzy yuck depending on how lucky I am on any given day. I am very intrigued by hair glosses though I’ve never used them. This all applies regardless of brand/maker! Also, I take showers and not baths, so scrubs are way preferrable to bombs, etc.

Candles: Not scented, please, but soy and beeswax are good! Not standard parafin ones. Migraine-prone folk are triggerd by them as is my asthmatic daughter. I’m guessing this would also be true of wax tarts. Essential oils are a good option instead, though!

Cosmetics: I’m pretty basic in my needs, here. If I’m splurging I use Artistry, if I’m not I usually get Almay or Physician’s Formula from the closest drug store. Halloween-specific - I have a goth themed party to go to and thought I would try going for a Fairuza Balk circa The Craft look. Things to facillitate that would be great! There was a particularly cool lip stuff in a facebook ad yesterday, but I didn’t save it. Alas!

Homemade (knitted, crocheted, sewn, etc): Yes, please! I would love hand/wrist warmers, I love quilted things that aren’t blankets (bags, etc) and make them often but never for myself, and there are probably other things I’m not thinking of that I’d adore. Like comfy, seasonally appropriate pajama pants in an XL/16/18-ish size. Homemade food: Yes, please! If it will survive the trip to me, I’m sure I’d love it. Especially things pumpkin or apple.

Candy: Yes, please! Chocolate (milk is best), candy corn, toffee, pretty much everything.

Any non-BPAL scents: Sure! I think you’ve got a few good hints in my original questionaire, so just let me know if you have any more specific questions.

Comic Con stuff: Sure!

9/26/17 What are your top three most wanted DC'd or previous LE BPALs? TINTAGEL!!!!!!! Lamb’s Wool. What are some things you do NOT want to receive? Uh . . . probably nudes? Unless they’re tasteful and seasonally appropriate.

9/25/17 Anyone like/want calendars or dayplanners? I already have mine for this year, but have my eye on a commit30 for next year. I do school year (August through July) planners cos kids. If you like stationery, do you like plain, colors, images, or specific DON'T LIKES? I’m not a big fan of pink as a general rule, but with other things it’s okay. As my penmanship is pretty terrible and difficult to read, I tend to go with plain, or color block type stuff. What about general desk stuff like cool colored paperclips and post it pads? Always! But don’t spend a ton on it if you’re so inclined, because it will probably get appropriated by a DI team. Would anyone be interested in having any of Abigail Larson's artwork (either as a print or on something, like a pillow, blanket, or t-shirt)? https://society6.com/abigaillarson Ooh, yes please! I could totally use a throw or two for my living room, and pillows for my couch. Furniture is orange-y brown leather, carpet is beige-y brown, walls are off white. So something that doesn’t clash terribly would be cool! And I can always use t-shirts. Does anything catch your eye from Ten Thousand Villages? http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/ Nothing particularly speaks to me, but I have a feeling it would be different if I were wandering through a store rather than a website. Would you be into receiving hand made (crocheted, sewn, felted, chain maille, scale, or duct tape, in my case, depending on the item) dishclothes? Scarf/shawl? Hat? Bag? Anything? Colors? (Duct tape, chain maille, and scales come in colors.) Yes! Always yes to the handmade things. I would love a rainbow chainmail necklace (choker or slightly longer) like the first picture, or bracelet like the second.

Do you collect anything from SBUX like City Mugs, City Mug ornaments, City Cards, or Bearistas? If so, which do you need/want? Or would you like a City Mug or an ornament for fun? City (I already have China, Shanghai, London ENG [relief], Canada, Toronto, OH, WI, IL, NY, MI, KY, TN, NC, Philedelphia, Pittsburgh, Boston, Washington DC, Twin Cities, Niagra Falls, New Orleans, Animal Kingdom, Disneyland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Orlando, and Chicago) and architecture mugs (I don’t know if they still make these, but I saw them in a google search and fell in love), and the Bearistas just came to my attention last year - would love any or all of them! anybody want homemade fudge? I can do chocolate with or without nuts, peanut butter, and butterscotch. Yes, please! Peanuts or almonds if with nuts, no butterscotch. do you like spicy foods? I am currently addicted to these suckers and want to send you some buffalo ridged kettle potato goodness (https://www.billygoa...shop/1lb-kicker) Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but my guage only goes up to medium most of the time. what would you like from the Weenies updatus giganticus? Imps of everything! Bottle-wise, by description and not trying . . . Apple Butter Rum, Cinnamon Chai Cupcake, October, Samhain 2017, September Midnight 2017, Sugar Skull 2017, The Apparition, Chiroptophobia, Hemophobia, Nebulaphobia, Samhainophobia, Bobbing For Apples, Pumpkin Spice Everything, ALL of The Tell-Tale Heart Witchees, do you want anything specifically from this page? http://iceweasel.net/switchwitch/ I love the swirling Elvis mitts!

9/24/17 do you collect the art cards that BPAL sends out? Any in particular that you are looking for or definitely don't need? I haven’t ever gotten any, I don’t think! Do you like this beautiful art, and she makes stickers and prints...SOOOO gorgeous: https://www.shannatr...om/paperprints/ Very pretty! I especially like the giraffe one. But no, not really - thanks. Favorite animals or wild creatures or mythological creatures? Real animals, wild edition: Giraffes, foxes, otters - real animals, domesticated: dogs - mythological animals: harpies, griffins, phoenixes would you like any swag from the Depeche Mode concert? (pins, posters, shirts, program, dunno what they'll have!) Yes, please!!! Shirt, pins, whatever. Is anyone interested in the new Resistance scents that the Lab just released (Take a Knee and SN: Flor de Maga)? Yes, both. Is anyone here into zero waste, plastic free living, urban homesteading, or any simplicity/minimalism-esque lifestyles? If so, could you use any tools or equipment? I try to minimize our waste and plastic, otherwise no. I don’t knkow what tools/equipment might be used!

9/23/17 I am possibly going to a crystal / gem show tomorrow. I can't afford expensive gem stones, but... What kind of crystals would you like? Pretty ones! I have a particular affinity for soapstone in various colors. Pumpkin or Zucchini bread? Yes, please! What kind of homemade cookies are your favorite? Oatmeal raisin. Could you use a muscle rub? (We make ours on the lunar cycle and it has menthol, wintergreen, habanero, cayenne, olive oil, st. john's wort, arnica, beeswax, calendula, and ginger. It tingles. We call it "Thunder Butter". If you have really really super sensitive skin, I would recommend against it. And don't take a hot shower or open all of your pores before using it.) Yes, please! Interested in trying some of our rose petal (rose petals, sugar, everclear) or lavender vanilla bean (lavender, vanilla bean, vodka) liqueur? Oooh, either, both. Want some honey from the bees on our property? Yes, please! Would you like some homemade jam? I have blackberry, rose petal, strawberry rhubarb, peach, and cherry. Yum! Absolutely. How about some homemade candied jalapenos with garlic cloves? I have regular and with habanero. My husband and middle kid would probably get more use out of this than I, but sure! I didn't dry any apples this year but I was thinking of heading over to Green Bluff and seeing if any honeycrisps are left. I have a commercial dehydrator so let me know if you are interested in any "Apple Crips" (as voodoocatwoman calls them!) I wash, peel, core, and slice before dehydrating. !!!!!!!Zomg yes please!!!!!! Do you need any kind of dice bag, tote, project bag, cosmetic bag, pencil bag, or whatever? I have lots of bag patterns and fabric. We make bags under the name Twinkle N Twilight. Or how about a couple of pillowcases? Sure! We always need pillowcases for camp and don’t necessarily want to use our ones that match our normal bed sheets. Also, bags are always handy. And I always need shopping totes!

9/22/17 Would my witchee like this to warm up the fall coffee cup?? https://www.truelemo...gory-s/1871.htm Mmmmm, yes I absolutely would. What style/make/etc of phone do you have? What about size of tablet? Laptop? Would you like decals, skins, or cases for any of these? I have a Samsung S8+ phone and an S3 tablet. The phone is usually in a mophie case, but I’d love things for the tablet!

9/21/17 See's Candy. My absolute favorite. They have special Halloween candy..any of these pique your interest?? Cinnamon Apple Scotch Mallows, Pumpkin spice truffles, pumpkinspice lollypops, caramel apple lollypops, or any other of their chocolates, etc? I think this warrants its own answer, despite the answer about candy in the FAQ, just because of the cinnamon apple mallows. Those sound amazing. Are any witchees into coloring books? Yes! But normal kid coloring books with big spaces, etc. Adult coloring books with all the tiny, tiny spaces give me anxiety. Witchees, is there anything that catches your eye at Animi Causa (https://www.animicausa.com/shop/)? Scratch map and stamp map look especially cool. Other than that, not so much. If I were to find an adorable autumnal/Halloween-y dish/flatware/etc. design, how many settings would be needed in your household? 5, please!

9/20/17 Do you like Broadway shows/music? If so what are some of your favorites and/or ones that you hope to see or listen to eventually? Would you like merch from your favorite shows or CDs from shows you want to listen to? I like most Andrew Lloyd Webber. Hamilton, of course. Be More Chill. Wicked. Newsies. Les Mis. Avenue Q. I like show tunes! Anything catch your eye from this site (globalgirlfriend.com)? I love the things made out of rice/feed bags - those are super cool. Do you have any favorite, lesser-known stores? Especially ones that sell hand-crafted or independently made items. Pure Detroit! Imagine you're going to the most gigantic art & craft show imaginable, and money is no object - what kind of things would you gravitate towards and probably spend money on? Include as specific as you want to get! Nice yarns, pretty fabrics! Also, photography and woodwork.

9/19/17 Are you interested in anything from Think Geek? http://www.thinkgeek.com Always! There are so many cool things there. If you could decorate your house (or one room) in any one theme, what would it be? Your answer can be as simple ("Star Wars" or "Baroque" or "Modern"), or complicated or a combination (e.g. Victorian Gothic) as you feel best fits. I can give you color combinations! I would do my kitchen around a countertop made of recycled bottles - the blue and white one. And I would use a lot of the Dutch blue dishes motif. Or maybe citrus-y colors, with citrus prints. Or . . . I don’t know, I’m indecisive. Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting? I don’t, really, but wish I did! I love the idea of some of the cooler ones. BTW, would my witchee be interested in something like this? (photo of black and white striped knitted doll) Not particularly, sorry.

9/18/17 It seems like there's a question about socks on the questionnaire, but I don't think it got down to this level: Do you wear them? Any particular style (crew length, knee high, anklet, boot, etc.) or fiber (wool, cotton, bamboo anything but wool, etc.) preference? I usually only wear Hanes white cotton ankle socks, except for the holidays. I love holiday socks, and generally Target has the best ones. Would you be open to previously-loved books? Of course! What about partial-full bottles of BPAL or BPTP? Sure! So what are your favorite fandoms? Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Camp Halfblood, Disney, Doctor Who/Torchwood, Orphan Black, Firefly/Serenity, Shakespeare, Gilmore Girls, Hamilton, Star Trek (TOS, TNG, reboot)

9/17/17 I'm in France at the moment, is there anything here you might like? I'm in Provence, the land of lavender, so if you like that flower in particular just say so! I am fond of lavendar! And sometimes I use it to cook. Other than that, I like postcards, and . . . well . . . lots of things. Starbucks You Are Here mug! are you into divination? What kind(s) do you currently do? Do you want more books and/or tools for that type (e.g. new tarot cards, new runes)? Is there a new type of #divination you've been meaning to try, and if so, are you looking for the tool, a book on the subject, or both? I like tarot cards (and have somehow become a collector thereof) and love runes. Would my Witchee be interested in a Tarot or Astrology reading done personally? Sure! Does my Witchee need any magical supplies? I can always use sage and sweetgrass sticks.

9/16/17 If you enjoy jewelry do you like discrete and elegant, flashy and gaudy, small and light, or large and chunky? I don’t really wear much jewellery these days. But probably small and light, mostly silver. I do do earrings! Two holes in each ear, but kind of close together. So a dangly in the lower hole and a stud in the higher. I also have a pandora bracelet that I wear on special occasions. Any love of pirates or SCA? Yes, both! I was born and raised in the SCA. Is there anything you would like from Disney World? Haha, nothing affordable really. All the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff! Are you a Potterhead? If so, to which house do you belong? Yes! I test almost equally into Griffindor or Ravenclaw. How do you feel about chokers? The more 90s style, the better!

9/15/17 Here's a few questions from me: Would you like some Halloween or other themed decor in the form of a banner, something like this http://www.etsy.com/...n-decor-vintage? If so, would you prefer a traditional style or a vertical door type? I love this! I would like either. A vertical door one would go on my door, a banner would go on my windows. Do you live near a Trader Joe's? If not, are you interested in trying any of the numerous Pumpkin goodies they come out with this time every year? I do live near a Trader Joe’s, but the close one is kind of bleh and I almost never go there. I also live near an Aldi! I would still love pumpkin things. Do you like to cook and/or bake? Could you use any specific ingredients (spices, oils, salts, extracts, etc.) or kitchen utensils/gadgets? I like to cook, I love to bake. I could use loaf pans (normal size and mini) and muffin tins - the big ones for, like, Costco/Sam’s size muffins. Also, recipes are always good. I'm at Ocean City MD for bike week......would a witches want anything from here? Bike or beach related? Bike, meh. Beach, sure! I like shells and rocks. What is 1 thing you would love to see in your final box? Can be ANYTHING - your choice. A reveal! Who would love some USPS eclipse stamps? Sure! But I can go to the post office and get them. :)

9/14/17 Do any of you potential Witchees have any kitties, puppers, or youngling humans you want spoiled in your packages? What treats or toys do they like? I have a husband and three kids (15, 12, 8) who would love anything you cared to include for them. But please, don’t feel obligated! Is there anything you want from the trading post (or trading post etsy) that is available to order right now? (Fatherhood, Puppers, normal GC things) Any of the perfume oils, sure, unless they say ‘dry’ or ‘dirt’ in the description. I mentioned somewhere below that I’m intrigued by the hair glosses.

9/13/17 Are you a gamer? If so, what games are you currently playing and is there any merch for that game you'd love to have? Anything Sims (I’m behind on game/stuff packs for 4) or Civ! Other than that, I try things at random, mostly if they’re free on Steam or EA. If you are a gamer do you have a steam/gamestop/amazon wishlist? Amazon, I think so? Steam/Gamestop/etc, no. How do you feel about the following scarf options (assuming you're into scarves)? I like lacy/fuzzy and leafy the best! And I’m always hot, so the others would probably be too much.

Simple eyelet scarf

Chevron scarf

Lacy and fuzzy

Skinny rib knit (extra long for lots of wrapping)

Leafy!

Like beer? What styles most appeal to you? Ambers, stouts, porters - mostly darker stuff. Like booze? What kinds? Vodka, rum, whiskey! Like Wine? What kinds? Reds - Pinot noir, shiraz, malbec, that sort of thing. Whites - Pinot grigio, Sauvignon blanc

Would you be interested in a set of hand-made hair falls? It's something I do for fun and I can make any length and do an array of colors! Sure! I made them a couple times (once with yarn/ribbon, once with that tube-y stuff), and they are really fun to make.

For those who watch certain movies every year for Halloween, what are those movies, whether horror or not? Any favorite horror movies that aren't necessarily on the annual-viewing list? How do you feel about fan-made merch for these movies? I like thriller more than horror, as do most of my family. The 60s Carnival of Souls, Village of the Damned (90s and earlier), etc. I love fan made merch!

9/12/17 What are your favorite/preferred Halloween/autumn icons/images? Any to specifically stay away from? I love them all! Do you want Fidget spinners, desk toys, or other frivolous things that you look at and decide you don't need enough to spend $ on but would make you happy to have? Not particularly? I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. Any zentangle lovers, people who would like to try it, or would you want a piece of someone else's zentangle art? I played around with zentangle for a bit and it was fun! I would love more inspiration for it. And the people who are good at it make such pretty stuff! Any love of hair toys, clips, ribbons, fascinators, mini hats, etc? I only really use the sillicone ponytail holders by goody, but I love the look of fascinators and tiny top hats and the like. What local goodies may be of interest? Local Honey, jams,candy? Any of the above! Are you interested in any prescription services like serial magazines, Birch box, ipsy? Not so much cosmetic ones, but I’ve been dying for the Gilmore Girls one. Also, lootcrate, Harry Potter related ones, book ones, etc. How do you like to listen to music? CD, 8 track tape, mix tape, Pandora or Spotify, I-tunes? CD (mixes are good) or Pandora/Spotify, mostly. I have a record player and am way interested in vinyl as well. Do you prefer reading on Kindle or actual book? What kind of books do you like? Would you like to be surprised with a scary, classic, horror book? I prefer regular books but find myself doing more reading on my tablet (Kindle or Nook) or by audiobook these days. I would love a scary, classic horror book in any format. Witchee: are you interested in crafting materials? Sure! Sewing notions are always a thing. Yarn, cool duct tape, altoid tins, scrapbook paper, fabric, whatever!

9/11/17

I'm in Japan, is there anything specific from here you would want? All the Hello Kitty/Sanrio things! Especially Kuromi. How do you feel about nail wraps? I am indifferent on the subject and get my nails done professionally. That said, there are some really cool ones by . . . I forget the company, but they had a kickstarter a while back. If you could be ANY character from a film, TV show or book, who would it be and why? Ahhhhh, good question. And one I don’t really know how to answer. If you could hop into a time machine and travel anywhere/anytime, where would it be and why? I have no whys beyond a love of history and a one-time involvment in the Society for Creative Anachronisms, but medieval/renaissance Europe, particularly the British Isles and/or the Austro-Hungarian Empire and/or Scandinavia. If you could invite 3 famous people to a BPAL meet and sniff, who would invite? I . . . don’t know? I feel like plenty of cool people congregate around them on their own. Do you like and/or want anything from Elements and Artifacts? You can be vague like "yes" or "no" or name specific past pieces you coveted or current ones you love, whatever works best. Yes! So much of Alicia’s work is so pretty. Anyone want any kind of costuming accessories or makeup or odds and ends? There’s a Folkwear pattern I need . . .

9/10/17 Are there any hobbies or crafts you've been thinking of trying, but haven't had the chance yet? Um . . . not really? I’m a creature of impulse on that front. Would you want to receive a custom spell kit or magical tea? If so, what purpose would you want it to be for? Ooh, that sounds lovely - for peace at home, for prosperity and good fortune, for focus and balance . . . Do you like poetry? Yes, very much, though I’ve fallen out of the habit of reading it. Neruda is a favorite, and Cummings, and some friends have written books of poetry that I don’t have. Anyone like handmade critters, stuffed animals, or custom repaints? Sure! I like steampunked or apocalypsed stuff a lot. Would you enjoy any designer/specialty yarn for your own craftyness? Yes, please! Would anyone like a donation made in their name to a cause or charity? Sure! Harry Potter Alliance and/or Granger Leadership Academy, Destination Imagination and/or Michigan Creativity, Girl Scouts of America and/or the Southeastern Michigan council and/or my troop, Grosse Pointe Public Schools Foundation for Education, Grosse Pointe Theatre ... Please provide wishes from the last two updates? Liliths: Everything sounds so good! I would love imps/partial imps/sniffies of all of them. Of particular interest are Valuable, Powerful, Deserving, Storyboard: The Tempest, and Huntress from the Lab/Like Father, Like Daughter, My Little Themyscirian, and Zip Line from the Trading Post. Eclipse: Again, all the imps from the Lab. I haven’t tried any hair glosses and am intrigued!

9/9/17 Are there any UK things you'd like to get? Beyond British versions of the Harry Potter books? Tim Tams. Other than that, IDK. Are you into podcasts? If so, what are your favorites? Would you like any merch related to any of them? I mostly only listen to Welcome to Night Vale and This American Life. Oh, and The Moth! Sure, merch is always good. :) ILNP? Who would love one of their awesome holos like MEGA or one of their amazing chromes? http://www.ilnp.com/ Oh gods, yes! They’re all so pretty!

9/8/17 Do you enjoy stationery? I'm thinking cute/quality notebooks, washi tape, stickers, fun pens etc. Always! Not so much washi tape, but the rest, absolutely. Also postcards and note cards. Would you be interested in a Halloween wreath? Yes, I very much would. I’ve been watching video tutorials lustily whenever they cross my feed, but am unlikely to ever make one myself.

9/7/17 What are your coffee and/or tea preferences? - Coffee: whole beans or ground? Whole bean, please! - Flavor and roast preferences? No flavor, medium roast most of the time though light or dark could be just fine, too. - Tea: black, green, herbal, flavors? Mostly black, sometimes herbal. Earl Grey and similar, Irish Breakfast, Darjeeling, Oolong, Chai. Plantation Mint by Bigelow is a favorite for iced/sun tea purposes and isn’t always easy to find. - Loose leaf or tea bags? Either. Bags for travel, loose leaf at home. - Anything specific you don't like? - Are you in need of any gadgetry? I mentioned below that I could use a plastic or pyrex walled French press. And I’m always losing tea balls.

9/6/17 How would you feel about receiving a hand-painted container for your bpal and/or other treasures? I love hand made things, and painting has been a huge thing around here this summer - my town hit the ‘kindness rocks’ project hard. - would you want a big wood box (~50 bottles), a small wood box (~20 bottles) or a tin for carrying imps around? I already have a couple tea boxes I use for bottles and imps, but a tin for carrying travelers would be great! What are some NEW things you've gotten interested in this year? Could be anything, from a new hobby, new genre of book, new healthy way of living, new fav brand of whatever... Crocheting, but that’s all that’s new, really. Oh, and apparently I’m amassing a collection of tarot decks.

9/5/17

What are your feelings about Scooby Doo? Loved it as a kid, kind of indifferent now. But would love for my kids to see the classic stuff instead of the newer, dumber stuff!

I drink this stuff almost everyday would anyone else be interested in trying it out? https://www.criobru.com/ I’ll try almost anything once, and this sounds pretty fantastic. On a side note, I could also use a plastic-walled (or pyrex type instead of regular glass) French press.

9/4/17 Would you like one of the Halloween Teeturtle shirts? https://www.teeturtl...alloween?page=1 Oh gods, yes! Especially the Beetlejuice ones. Unisex XL would probably fit me, or relaxed ladies’ 2X.
