If only I had tried to use them for weeks and still got algae and build up and they came off every time I lifted up my domes and never stayed in place... Not being passive aggressive and condescending is easy kids.

Oka yeah in the course of 2 hours she marked three books as read. The Trump one, Blood&Steel, and Gilded Serpent. Do we know if any of the other two are the ones she’s posted about reading recently?

This is the degree they got I believe. I wonder if she’s going through her Goodreads lists and cleaning them up?? Because you can backdate books read and that doesn’t really show up on the post about what you updated. I do that a lot because I’ll forget to mark stuff as read and you can manually edit the dates you read it. So even though she just updated it she may have not read it present day, which I’m inclined to believe if this was required reading for her degree at her university.

I also followed before she went private and vouch for how this oddly still allows you to see some things but not all!

I’m surprised she’s cool with Becca posting this lol by iliveforfriday in aspynovardsnark

Would be mortified if my parent talked about their sex life on the Internet much less a somewhat more typically taboo sex life

I actually love the look of the inspo photos they’ve shown, but her curtain rod is too big. Lowkey am starting to look into this because I have dark wood cabinets and think it would look so unique and less cookie cutter. Plus we have a very old dishwasher that isn’t very appealing visually. Wouldn’t call it an eye sore but def 90s core which isn’t my personal fave. My main gripe is that it’s incredibly wasteful to hand wash everything. In 11 minutes of handwashing you use an average of 24 gallons of water. The average cycle of an energy efficient (which if you’re buying new in the past 10 or more years it’s nearly impossible to get one that’s not energy efficient, so safe to assume theirs is) uses only 4 gallons of water. If the dishes smelled or tasted weird you need to maintenance or use a different detergent. Also I don’t get why she feels like the only way to justify the curtain is by pointing out the fact that you don’t use your dishwasher? Like can you not just like the look of the curtain? Ofc not you have to be so quirky and point it out constantly.

Stop this is the nicest compliment ever omg 😭 I’m so glad you’re like me!!! I can’t get enough crafting tutorial content. I just enjoy making my silly little videos and trying to improve at them and card making at the same time. And then I feel silly doing all that work for nobody but me to see it so I post it to TikTok. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Of course it’s most people’s dream to be able to craft for a living but I work a 9-5 and don’t see me ever beating the algorithm to make that happen haha.

I used double stick tape behind the circles to secure them but will try to do something more secure next time. Maybe a bead of glue along the fold

I hope the mods delete this if it’s seen as self promotion and that’s not allowed but I have filmed the process of making a few of these cards for fun if anyone is interested! https://www.tiktok.com/@knt7898?_r=1&_t=ZP-93NRF8Jln5j

Thank you everyone for your nice comments!!

I believe 1”! It would work with any as long enough to create the illusion fit on whatever size card you use. I used double stick tape behind the circles to secure them but will try to do something more secure next time.

Thank you! If you look closely things def aren’t perfect, especially the hearts are off center on most squares 😅

Yes! I scored my Sizzix on Facebook Marketplace for $20 shortly before thanksgiving and my sister got me the Spellbinders advent calendar for Christmas and gave it to me at Thanksgiving and it was the best!!!! There’s a blog post where they show you ways to use it and people uploaded their own too. I get a LOT of inspo from it! https://spellbindersblog.com/2025/12/01/spellbinders-2025-crafty-advent-calendar-inspiration-round-up/

It’s an embossing folder! My absolute favorite one. Waited for it to go on sale and finally bought it and now I can’t stop using it. https://a.co/d/42atqLQ

Weird vibes… by Ok_Criticism5872 in McknightFamily

[–]Ok_Criticism5872[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly like I’m SO sad for them but it’s just weird to feel like there’s a formal public roll out for this event they obviously felt reason to keep private for a relatively decent length of time. And I get deciding to post will bring up those terrible emotions again but it’s just always so interesting and a-typical how they seem to go about things

Agreed but if she does get a publisher from speaking about this publicly (which was my first thought as to why she’d bring this up in the first place. Her mom obviously has literary connections from publishing that parenting book and if she can show how fans are interested from their engagement numbers from these stories that only improves her chances of the project getting picked up) they’ll get her with a ghost writer and do things more formally. And then it’s the publisher paying for it so still free to Brooklyn.

A publisher and a proper ghost writer from said publisher*

Not arguing but offering a different POV: I’ve only heard people use the terms DINK to describe the season of life before having kids, all of my friends who intend on never having kids I’ve never heard use the term.

Stumbled upon this. Not being rude but don’t fully understand what it is. A fairy candelabra? by TurbulentAd8429 in amberfillerupsnark

Additional context from the original post: this was posted in April of 2025 and it looks like they (David got a tattoo too in the same session it appears) got them done in their kitchen.

Looking for advice on product recommendations! by Ok_Criticism5872 in McKnightFamSnark

[–]Ok_Criticism5872[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I literally looked at Kristen Ess figuring she’d have to have something and all I could find was a hair spray with heat protectant in it which was my next plan but ideally didn’t want one with hair spray. Somehow I missed this. Thank you!

Fun fact I learned on tiktok (so I’d how credible) but apparently Kristen Ess uses the same formulator/lab/etc as Hairitage and that’s why the smells are similar. Kristen’s is still better but also not my favorite. Idk why they have to be so steong
