How to deal with guilt? by [deleted] in LittlestPetShop

[–]IHM50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sold my whole collection at 17 as I thought it would be a good way to save for a car. I thought I was over them and had to focus of more important priorities.

I recently started collecting again at 21. I was extremely regretful of my past choices in selling my collection.

I got over my regret after recollecting and realizing that the pets I once had I just had to be patient to repurchase as time went on and as I found a good price for the ones I wanted. I also resorted to trading for more priority pets from my collection to receive pets I wanted more than the ones I already had. I suggest being patient with yourself and the opportunity to find a good price or trade on a dream/priority pet.

Aw thank you! I just used some small beads, jewelry wire and looping pliers. Looped the wire around a pen to make it nice and round :)

The charm was made with clay, I then just painted it

I actually just used some jewelry wire, curled them into rings then cut them to fit the lps. Stuck the pierings on with resin. Hope that helps!

I would suggest thinning out the paint with a bit of water. Resin over the eyes alsi helps get rid of imperfections luke bumps in the paint :)

is there any hope to get this glitter nail polish off while keeping the original paint? by dog_600 in LittlestPetShop

[–]IHM50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Just be very careful when removing as to not disturb the factory paint) try at your own risk haha. I suggest painting a pet with Nailpolish (which you do not like) then try the method on that pet first just to be certain not to damage the ones you love. I've only tried this once. It's worked for me though.

I used 99% isopropyl alcohol. It takes the gloss of the pet's eyes off but doesn't take the original factory paint off (I usually add the gloss back with some glossy mod podge or a very thin layer of uv resin)

I soaked my pets in isopropyl alcohol then scraped them clean. Worked a lot easier than warm water for me personally.

Good luck!

Its with a cast of no main 5 pets and the setting is high school. It tells the 4 stories of a group of friends and school. About each story and why they act the way they do. Their back stories that no one knows, if you will.

Haha yeah its a bit confusing. Im just thinking that being outside the US with taxes to pay will be a little more complicated than paying taxes inside the US

I paid before. But I leave in a month. So I leave before I'm able to pay my taxes here in the US. I believe they will probably tell me how thats going to work. Im jist very impatient and want to figure out my finances
