My favorite colors are blue, green, purple, lavender, soft pink.

I like my snacks salty and chocolatey, although not necessarily both at the same time. I also like peppermint, but not spearmint. I like licorice, but not salty licorice.

I prefer tea to coffee, preferably black tea.

I'm not big on scents. They give me headaches and make me sneeze.

I don't have any big hobbies. I like to read, mainly. I tend to prefer nonfiction, but I'll read fiction as well.

I don't really do active collecting. I do have some cat-related items.

Chocolate is my favorite food group. I usually prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate (less bitter), but I'll eat chocolate with rice milk. Pumpkin flavored goodies sounds interesting. I also like peanut butter. Home baked goodies is something I'd welcome with open arms, and open mouth.

I don't really like candles if they're scented. See above regarding how I feel about scents.

I have three cats at home. They like soft treats that are easy on their teeth.

I can't seem to find chocolate with rice milk in the stores anymore. There is also this: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Ting...&ie=UTF8&qid=1379823378&sr=1-2&keywords=Tings I thought they were discontinued but since they have them at Amazon, they're still being made. I just can't seem to find them in the stores anymore. *pout*

As mentioned above, not only don't I like spicy foods and strong scents, I also don't like dark chocolate or raspberry flavoring in anything.

Once you eliminate all my dislikes, I'm game for anything!

If you think of any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

YAY QUESTION TIME!!

I do like lotions and potions (especially anything that smells super fruity and makes me want to eat it). But I don't use them very quickly, so they kinda pile up in my tiny bathroom xD

Sweet and savoury are both awesome, although if I had to choose it would be savoury.

I have a giant weakness for all things underwater! It's my favourite kind of nature. To name a few particular favourites: sharks, turtles, octopuses, whales, and rays (with their little underneath smiley faces). Also pretty much all kinds of fish.

Not too keen on anything heavily perfumed, or floral scents. I prefer fresh, fruity, zesty things.

Definitely live on the mild side, I can't take more than the tiniest amount of heat in my food.

Can't think of anything in particular that I want to try but haven't.

I do wear necklaces, any length up to cleavage territory

I have one cat, Pixel. Although we think she might actually be a dog, a rabbit, and a gerbil in a cat costume...

And what kind of British person would I be if I didn't drink tea?!

Super excited!! Wheeeeee

Hey Fall Exchange Fairy!!

1. When it comes to tea just about anything. Not a fan of chai or oolong. Tropical, fruity, ginger, minty, etc. Loose or bagged is fine.
2. LOVE spicy, like jalapeno/habanero spicy. Fuzzy textures (like peach skin) freak me out so please don't send any peach or kiwi skin.
3. I've never had vegan marshmallows, if you have any in your area would love one. I also love getting a local item from your area if that is possible.
4. Red, royal blue, pink, purple, turquoise. Love bright, vibrant colors. Not a fan of pale colors, like pale yellow or pale green or pale pink.
5. Kayaking, outdoors, my pups, music, working out.
6. The 3 bow wows love treats and hubby will raid whatever arrives.
7. Absolutely!
8. I try but haven't done a Christmas tree in a long time as I don't trust the pooches.
9. No spoon or snowglobe collections...
10. See #2 regarding fuzzy items...
11. I am so not crafty or much of a cook so getting anything homemade done is next to impossible. I have had a couple of stellar moments in the kitchen but for the most part not so much.
12. I do read when time allows but I usually buy books on my Nexus tablet and read them that way. Like reading biography and autobiography the most. I also read magazines from time to time.
13. Right now my home is in major upheaval. I've been trying to get motivated to decorate but have found all my beautiful southwestern motif items just don't look right in our new house (moved from AZ to SWFL 2 years ago) so most of it is getting packed away and I am now in shopping mode for more of a coastal look with a few of my southwestern items here and there.

Hope these answers help! Can't wait for the exchange!

I like apple and Cinnamon and pumpkin

We have two cats...

 

[Amy SF]

I want to remind everyone who participates in the exchange to think twice before mailing off breakable items. In the past when I've received breakable items, they arrived damaged and broken because they weren't wrapped securely, or even wrapped at all. If you absolutely MUST mail something breakable, be sure to wrap it so thoroughly in protective materials that it would arrive on the moon in one piece. You don't want any disappointed recipient having to throw out or attempt to repair what you've sent, especially if it's a lovingly handmade item that you spent time working on.

Thanks.

 

[peacefulveglady]

Yes I agree, as a daughter of a former mail carrier , I need to suggest this, I usually wrap my stuff in bubble wrap and all sorts of stuff...

 

[sallyomally]

Calling Sallyomally,

We at Autumn woods are compiling ideas for your package , we are wondering what you would like..

Do you like too bake? What do you like to bake and what you look forward too while baking?

Love to bake. Look forward to eating what I bake! I enjoy baking just about anything- cookies, breads, cakes, pies.. Love anything to do with the kitchen- cookbooks, aprons, kitchen gadgets- I'm a very domestic gal!


What are your favorite flavors of fall ? Food, drinks ETC?

Cinnamon, pumpkin, vanilla, love the fall spices. I enjoy tea of all kinds. We like to eat at our house,and enjoy snack-y foods- salty, spicy, sweet, savory, crunchy- love them all!

What is your favorite Autumn /Fall Scent?

Hmmm... like them all- cinnamon spice, pumpkin, vanilla,apple. Anything "fallish".

How do you enjoy Halloween?

We really don't celebrate Halloween, but I do enjoy celebrating the harvest- pumpkins, scarecrows, the lovely colors. We do decorate the house for fall. Fall is one of my favorite seasons.
We will come back later for more questions when we think of more but here is a start....

THANK YOU!

Either is savory or sweet is good. I don't like chocolate, I love it. I have 4 dogs and none of them have met a treat they didn't like.

Thanks Fall Fairy!
