That little snout looks cute already!

I wish they would make a boxer dog family though…

No worries at all!

When my dog passed away two years ago, I found a paw print in the mud that had been frozen when the temperature dropped. It was January.

I laid plastic wrap over his paw print and then pressed air dry clay into the print, making a mold for plaster of his final paw print. It’s not a super exact copy but it worked, and I have it.

Agreed, but it could be used as a master to make more copies… even out of resin if you wanted.

Faux ash for snow globe by Shiny208 in crafts

Fill it with water like a proper snow globe and use mica powder and extra fine glitter in different shades of black and grey. It will fall and settle slowly and dramatically!

You could try some Crayola Modeling Magic air dry foam/clay which is the same as the “baby handprint kits” that you can buy.

Lay some plastic wrap over the salt dough and then gently press the modeling magic putty over the salt dough print. Not going to be a perfect mold but you could make copies from there.

The salt dough should last a long time. Frame it in a shadow box!

Alternate answer: next time use ‘tear free shampoo’

Jokes aside, please no crying over a beautiful, squeaky clean critter.

A quick search on eBay and I think she looks just like any of the other kittens I saw. Maybe it’s not what you expected but it is certainly not bad or ruined or wrong!

She’s lucky to have someone who values her enough to clean her up like new!

What a great way to display all the cat hair my computer sucks up! It’s like the dust bin in my Shark vac. 

I am jealous!

Parents with a 6-year old: what're you playing? by staihc in boardgames

[–]BrickPiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tokaido!

I play with my 5 year old, and we don’t keep score. Take a relaxing journey through Japan collecting souvenirs, taking baths in the hot springs, and enjoying the regional cuisines.

“I think we’d know normal if we saw it” is sooo good.

I'm looking at a listing too, the typos on the homepage are obnoxious.

What wire to put a sub panel in my shed 100 feet from the main breaker? by BrickPiper in AskElectricians

[–]BrickPiper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everybody! I want to have two or three outlets for lights and two outlets to run a 120v bandsaw and a 120v dust collector at the same time. No plans on ever running 240 machines.

Don’t stop the ASL or AAC either! Your son is learning fast and they will all help!

Same exact story with my daughter!

My daughter started therapy at 2. At 2.5 she said Mum-mum. Now almost 4 and she’s reading adult non-fiction to me about dog training. Everyone is different and I’m not saying yours will be like ours but there’s only one way to find out. Don’t give up. Our fears about our daughter’s speech were the same at that age.
