What I love about spy kids is they’re not spying on anyone and absolutely no one cares.

[exigencelost]

“Spy” is basically a dnd class in the Spy Kids Cinematic Universe, there’s zero espionage, the word spy just refers to a collection of proficiency modifiers

I forget all the time that I have a tumblr.  What should I put here, other than Switch Witch questions?

Switch Witch Questions, 2020

9/5/20

what are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups?  I even make things with berries I grow in my garden.  I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla. Interested?

Yes please!  In all but the bourbon cherries.

Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round?  For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself??

Not particularly, no.

Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself?

Either/both!  I’ve started a collection of Lykke knitting needles ...

Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)?

I added a few gift sets to my universal wish list via Amazon.

9/3/20

Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty

I’ll poke around and add some things to my etsy list if so, but while I would enjoy it I didn’t see anything that particularly called to me.

9/2/20

Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks

I added it to my amazon universal list, but I ADORE the plague doctor one.

one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks?

So many pretty fabrics!  Yes, please.

9/1/20

are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ?  Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something.

Any of the lotion sticks or lip balms

Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me!

Yes to all the Japanese kitkats and potato chip flavors!  Also, all the cute stationary and stickers.

What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries.

I don’t really do self care.

8/29/20

Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)?

I’m intrigued by the facial products, and the Buttercup scent sounds amazing.  All of the Weenie hair/perfume oils sound amazing, and also Kattegat, Halcyon, and GTFO ... some of the summer LEs ...

Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)?

Will check and add it to the etsy list if so!

Thing Three has some goals for the coming piano year, Haha. She wants to bring this to her piano teacher and ask if he thinks she can learn it for AGM. At least she seems to know getting it in time for Federation is unlikely at best! #musicianslife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLTTltAu7i/?igshid=eup64cf4visa

So, Thing Three is in fourth grade. She started playing clarinet ~eight weeks ago, has had six lessons. She's on her third year of piano, and has a hell of an ear. This is her first attempt at A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. #kidsofinstagram #bandgeeksagogo #musicianslife #practicemakesbetter (at Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2wNYRA3Lj/?igshid=4fezdkw9ndwf
