holidaywishesAaaaand sneaking in just under the deadline. XD
1. Are there other fishkeepers on this list who have live plant cuttings they could send me? I would really appreciate it, and so would my bettas Tiamat and Grendel. Plant requirements: floating, low/medium light, generally harder. I just have Flourish Excel but would be willing to buy more in-water fertilizers as long as they are invert-safe.
2. On a similar note, gift certificates to drsfostersmith.com to help me take care of my wet pets would be *fantabulous*. Sadly, Petsmart and Petco don't often have the things I really need to take care of my bettas; they would rather sell tiny little death-bowls.
3. I really love imps/samples from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs, but rarely have the chance to participate in swaps because people tend to have a very specific wishlist and I have like three imps I can send out. So, um, if anyone has some extras they want to dump on me? (I'm planning on going through the tags and offering my three imps to the other people who've requested BPAL stuff, but if someone fulfills this wish for me before anyone takes me up on an offer, I am totally willing to trade. If that sentence made any sense at all, heh.)
4. Beading and jewelry-making supplies. This is the year I'm looking to set up my jewelry shop online - I'm not looking to actively make money, but supporting the hobby would be nice, eh? - and new pretties are encouraging and jog my creativity :). I like working with a bit of everything, really - glass and crystal, chain mail, kumihimo, found objects - so if anyone has any stuff in their crafts stash they're not using, drop me a line! I'd be happy, too, to do a bead exchange, since I do have some things I have too much of.
5. On that note, I would really appreciate gift certificates to sciplus.com (American Science and Surplus, which has a crafts section). They have a lot of random supplies I've been saving up for a chance to get.
6. I'm looking for websites - or worst comes to worst, books I am likely to find at my local library - explaining how to put make-up on, and secondarily how to choose good make-up based on one's complexion, personal tastes in make-up heaviness, etc. Most of the sites I've found assume one already knows something about cosmetics, and I, uh ... know how to put on lipstick? Okay, and I can *fudge* concealer and a bit of eyeshadow, but I think I'm doing it wrong, and I don't have anyone who can show me how in person. I don't wear make-up that often, but I'd like to do it right and have the knowledge to play around a little when I feel like using it. Help!
7. I'm getting into sewing and making clothes this year, and because I am the geeky type, I'm looking for (non-movie!) Spider-Man sheets to make into a hoodie. Yes, I'm a dork. The local thrift stories are not helping me here, and I was wondering whether maybe anyone here had some they weren't using any more.
8. I love squished pennies. (You know, those little machines where you pay 50 cents, put in a penny and turn a little knob and it squashes the penny into an oval with an impression of whatever.) So, you know, if any of you work at a zoo/museum/store or live near one and have the chance and 50 cents to spare ... I'd love a squished penny from where you live!
(Er, is there a better name for them than "squished penny"?)
9. Take care of yourself! Originally this was going to be a charity wish, but then like five people posted the same one, and I've been noticing a lot of my friends have been having trouble remembering this while working themselves into the ground for people who don't appreciate them as much as they should. You're important too. <3
Yes, I'm a sap. Shuttup.
I can be reached via rabican AT livejournal DOT com, and I check my e-mail constantly, so that should be no worries. Anyone who can help with a wish, thanks in advance. :)
And that's it. Happy not-really-holidays, everyone, and now I am off to check out the many lists I haven't looked at yet!

Date: 2008-01-16 06:25 am (UTC)If anyone else is reading this and has other links, I will gladly take them so I can compare and contrast and stuff, but this is a fantastic starting point, just what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

My personal favorite is this line:
While it is no longer illegal in the United Kingdom to mutilate the image of the Queen, it is still illegal in Canada.

Date: 2008-01-16 08:43 am (UTC)I should be getting some imps in the mail sometime soon, so if by any chance some of the scents don't work on me, then I'd be happy to do a swap!

Date: 2008-01-18 10:05 am (UTC)My sister converted me to this make-up. yes I must admit it's expensive but I swear to you once you use this make-up you won't use anything else.
Make-up Tip.com (http://www.makeuptip.com/) is a great site that shows all you need to know about putting on make-up from the eyes, cheeks and lips for day or night.
As for lipstick, blush that type of stuff go to covergirl.com they got some great tips too.
I prefer for daytime a lighter look natural and for night time I tend to put a bit more make-up on.
I hope this helps in some way.
Just Asking want to see my list?

Date: 2008-10-26 07:26 am (UTC)Also, where are you from? If we're in the same area, I'd love to show you how to put on make-up. I couldn't learn from magazines. It was years of trial and error and I love to help others out because of it, because I know how horrible it feels to never quite get it right and always want it just a little bit different.

Date: 2008-10-28 08:47 pm (UTC)As for location, I live in MI - doesn't look like we're very close if your userinfo is up to date, but the thought is definitely appreciated.
Do you have a wishlist up, or will you be putting one up this year? If so, do please let me know. :)

Date: 2008-11-11 03:56 am (UTC)I have gone through my place where I thought I had my squished pennies and I can't find them, but as soon as I do, I'll send them to you. Can you resend me your address at poeticgoddss@hotmail.com? That way I can put it in my file of who/what I owe things to.
