[valanhb]

What are you favorite types of food?

Italian foods, and cheese (anything but Swiss)

Favorite types of chocolate?
I love white chocolate, and also adore truffles

Favorite scents for candles?
I don't like the real flowery scents, except for Lavendar. Favorite is a good vanilla. And I love the smell of coffee beans.

Favorite scents for lotions?
I don't usually wear scented lotions because of sensitive skin.

Crabtree & Evelyn seems to be OK, though. Again, nothing too "flowery".

If you like to read, do you have a problem with receiving a used book?
I have way too many books already, as I found out when we moved.

Do you collect anything?
Kitty Christmas Ornaments, and pins I can wear to work.

What is your favorite color?
Generally darker colors, especially blue, burgandy, plum, and black.

If your SS is from overseas, is there anything special you would like them to include?
Anything would be cool.

How would you describe your 'style'?
For clothes, comfortable. I'm definitely not a fashion maven! For decorating, I would have to say ecclectic, or just plain undecided. LOL We like Victorian, and Art Deco, and some Southwestern (though not the typical stuff, the authentic Native artwork. I wouldn't suggest this route because I'm very picky about what I like), and the bathroom at least will be in an ancient Roman/Greek/Eqyptian theme.

What sort of accessories do you like to wear?
Pins! I wear a lot of solid colored dress shirts that I dress up with pins.

Would you prefer something edible or something to keep?
Probably something to keep, but food would be OK too as long as there is something to keep.

Is there anything that you'd like for your home?
Nothing I can think of offhand...

Do you plan on putting up a Christmas tree this year?
Oh yes! It's our first Christmas in our very own townhome, and we are definitely going to decorate a LOT!

What type of toys do your cats like?
Trent loves honeysuckle. Ophelia seems to like anything small and hard that scoots across the hardwood floors. I'm not sure about Ginger yet since she's still with Eileen, but have been told that she loves mice and crinkle balls. But Ginger is still a kitten, so probably anything that moves! LOL
