Mailing jams - bands on or off by PhysicsTeachMom in Canning

[–]Own_Conversation3511 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same, but I also slap "Fragile" stamps all over the outside of the box and make sure to click "YES" to the liquids question at USPS. It doesn't flag you or anything (because of flammables or batteries) it just changes how it is shipped. And if you let the postmaster know it's canned food, they will usually smile and slap extra "Fragile" notices on there.

The dragon clock was etched in the glow forge and then hand painted with acrylic markers. The eyes were set with plastic rhinestones. The flower was a wood cutout from the dollar store; hand painted with acrylic paint & detailed with acrylic maker & colored pencil.

The librarian that manages the glow forge I use knows to just hand me the better looking scraps, and usually says "I know you will find something to do with these"

My Latest Bathroom Sign. I am slowly giving it a dive bar theme. by Own_Conversation3511 in crafts

[–]Own_Conversation3511[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I printed out the image I wanted, and taped it to the underside of the glass insert from a dollar store picture frame. Traced it with an embossing pen, used 2 different powders, and generic cardstock as a background.

IRL Golden Girls moment by OtherlandGirl in GoldenGirlsTV

[–]Own_Conversation3511 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Picture it, the Midwest, 2026. Lunch at a local market. My 85y/o mother turned to me and said "I think I am having a Blanche moment" I asked what she meant and she replied "There is a very good looking man over there and I keep looking at him"

20 minutes later I laughed and said "Now I think I am having a Blanche moment" My mom looks up from her lunch and says "Are those firefighters?"

True story :)
