What are your hobbies?!
I like most things crafty. I don't have a lot of room to do some of the things I would like, but I still enjoy them. I love reading, and oddley enough, I now enjoy working out. It's fun to me now!

It's so strange!

Do you like homemade gifts?
If so, what kinds? I like anything homemade! One year I got homemade jam and it was really yummy and very cool to hear the story of them getting the berrys and making the jam! So... anything goes!!

Would you eat homemade cookies sent by a person you only know via the internet? Yes I would and Yes I have!!! Thanks Kim!

(DH laughed at me for doing it too!!)

What are your favorite kinds of cookies, esp. holiday cookies? Umm... I'm a fat chick... I like anything! I guess, chewy are my favorite, any flavor!

Are there any ingredients that should be avoided (i.e. something you hate or are allergic to)? I dislike pecans and walnuts, but that's about it.

Are there any kind of cat toys that should be avoided? (i.e. feathers, string, noisy toys that scare kitty...) Kitters loves the simplest of toys! Though she doesn't really care for milk rings. (may have to try some toys that mimic milk rings and see if she changes her mind - she does that a lot to me! She didn't used to like catnip, now she's a little addict!

)

Do you prefer bath or shower products? What scents do you like best? I like bath products more than shower products. I like somewhat milder scents, not too strong as I have sensitive skin, but most things don't bother me too bad.

Do you collect anything (that wasn't mentioned in other replies)? Not that I can think of at all... ohh... wait... I collect Fat!!

I got lots, though since I have too much now to display nicely, I'm getting rid of some!

Who needs some? Free to good home!

What kind of toys do your kitties/other animals like to play with best? Again, Kitters is a stuffed animals, spongy balls, rope mice, daddys pens, mommys socks and darn near anything else she can get her paws on type of gal!!

Do you like Christmas ornaments/etc as a present? Not so much as I don't have a tree, nor a place to put one up! (when and if I ever get a house with some sense of space that will surely change)

Do you like to recieve speciality socks as a gift? What kind (warm fuzzy ones, toe socks, ones with prints on them?).
I do, mostly slipper socks. If they are everyday socks for me though they HAVE to be mostly cotton, then polyester. No acetate, spandex or nylon and they react bad with more than a few hours wear. (make my feet stink! :ewe

Do you like throws/blankets? What color(s)? I love them!!! And I like green and pretty much anything!

Do you like more vibrant colors, pastels, or more muted/earth tones? I like anything.

Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? No.. I've bought her a couple, but I get worried about her getting caught on something so I take it off. She NEVER goes out so., it's not so big a deal, plus she's scared to go outside! (works fine for me)

What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc) It doesn't matter at all!! It could be wrapped in infoil or newspaper for all I care. That's not a big deal to me.

Alright, must go to sleep, tired and hip is killing me!

I think it would be helpful to know how many pets you have, their names, and a basic description of them including their likes, dislikes, and potentially even their appearance. If they have a favorite thing.. this is the time to post it. My cats (except Cinders, the latest one) are in my siggy. They are all different and it would take ages to explain their personalities. My little foal, Tiffin, is a mischievous boy, already practicing to be a big stallion (he thinks!!!)

What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc) Wrapping paper only lasts as long as the cats take to shred it! So it should be cheap and cheerful

This was fun to answer, but I hope my SS is not now confused. I shall love anything and everything.

Do you live in a house or an apartment??

Neither.

A townhome (attached single-family home). We do officially have "yard" but we don't maintain it (the HOA does). So any decorations would have to be seasonal.

Do you prefer bath or shower products? What scents do you like best?

Um, neither, actually. OK, let me clarify... It's not that I don't bathe - I do! But I'm one that generally rates sleep over a long shower, so I'm more of a get-in-and-get-out shower-er.

We have a small tub that's not much use for taking a bath.

If I had to choose, I would say shower, though.

For scents, the same as candles. Vanilla, lavendar, oh - and citrus for shower

Do you collect anything (that wasn't mentioned in other replies)?

Just kitty Christmas Ornaments.

What kind of toys do your kitties/other animals like to play with best?

Balls, catnip toys, honeysuckle toys, Da Bird

Do you like Christmas ornaments/etc as a present?

Yes!! I love ornaments because I will always remember back to where I got them when I'm decorating the tree.

Do you like to recieve speciality socks as a gift?

Slipper socks are nice.

Do you like throws/blankets? What color(s)?

Probably too much! LOL I have an afghan on the recliner, another one on the couch, a black blanket on the couch, and a Colorado Avalanche throw on the couch. The cats have claimed everything on the couch as theirs to snuggle in.

Do you like more vibrant colors, pastels, or more muted/earth tones?

I like the deep, rich colors. More muted than jewel tones, but still rich, if that makes any sense.

Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind?

Nope. I'm trying to get Trent used to a harness (H-type), but Earl freaks when I put it on Trent. I don't know why, but he does.

I think I need to do it when Earl is knee deep in WOW.

What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc)

Honestly, I've never even thought about it. I just appreciate the thought behind the gift. Doesn't matter if it's fancy packaged or not, it's the love contained within the gift that counts.
