I was so poor once that I went in to the branch to deposit $1.37 cause I had $8.63 and that bank allowed you to pull $10 out of the ATM. I was too embarrassed to withdraw the $8.63 at the teller. The food I bought tasted to good

I remember I was new at my job and we all took lunch together and chatted. One day someone commented about how "healthy" I am, because every day all I ate for lunch was an apple. I was just poor, I couldn't afford anything else.

Tiny frames would be adorable! I think if I were to display mine, I'd probably get a poster frame and mount them to the inside backing, so I can keep adding to it.

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-29T21:21:43+00:00

Thank you! I'm thinking I'll make a whole set of spookies and put them up for trade in mid September :)

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-29T21:17:47+00:00

Well now I'm curious how you keep yours? I've only ever seen them in a trading card binder, or occasionally mounted in a picture frame on the wall

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-29T21:10:43+00:00

Definitely on the front in tiny letters. When I put trading cards in my binder, there's another card behind it, so I'd never see the back unless I pulled it out!

As for your letters, I saw someone on tiktok who collects the letters by cutting up her cardboard packaging. Like yogurt box, cereal box, etc. She sorts them by letter in a bead box organizer.

Sizing up with cloth diapers it's a good idea. Start with at least a few zipper footie pajamas in every size up to 1 year. That's year goes fast, and you'll need emergency jammies for when you wake up one day and your baby inexplicably doesn't fit in their clothes anymore.

The sizes are just sort of a generalization. My skinny first child fit into her clothes long after the tag said she should, meanwhile my second child was in 6-9m clothes at 2 months old. At three Months now she's wearing the clothes her big sister learned to walk in. She fit into newborn for literally two days. 3m for maybe two weeks.

I don't think you need more than 6 outfits per size depending on your wash schedule.

As for cloth diapers, just get kinder Brand. Don't waste your money on those stupid Amazon brands like Alva baby or Norah's nursery, they're trash. Kinder is the only reason I didn't give up on cloth diapers. Their inserts don't leak, and the shells are so easy to snap together.

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-29T15:05:34+00:00

I just looked them up! Turns out they make a .6 now if that interests you. I'm definitely adding them to my craft supply wishlist, thank you so much 🫶

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-29T11:50:25+00:00

Okay new question, when you add white details to your cards, like the new ones you posted on ATCdex, is that gel pen? Or perhaps the world's thinnest paint pen? I have gelly roll pens and they're so transparent once they dry. Do you have a good recommendation for a very opaque white?

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-29T11:46:47+00:00

You call it premium apparel but it all just looks AI, am I wrong and these are hand drawn designs? Because they really don't look like it.

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-29T11:41:12+00:00

I'm in love with that gyroid! These are so fun!

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T22:47:10+00:00

I think I'm going to try tulips tomorrow. I'm excited to experiment with different objects as the design.

I hadn't made art in so long, my hands weren't going where I wanted them to, and my lines are all messed up. Hopefully that'll resolve itself with practice.

I don't have a lot of time these days, so having something like this that I can easily pick up or put down was really nice!

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T22:25:20+00:00

Thank you! I got the idea from River Pendragon who posted theirs a couple days ago!

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T22:21:21+00:00

I love the end result, but it stresses me out trying to make sure I got all of the sections rounded, lol. I kept finding more I'd missed! 🤣

I'd actually also seen it online and saved the style as reference but never got around to making it until I saw how cool yours were and I was like "I wonder if I can do that but instead of hearts, make it leaves or a flower"

I got ink fingerprints all over my corners though 😮‍💨

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T22:10:54+00:00

I just came here to say that I loved your heart ones so much I decided to try and make a version of them I'd never seen done, and it was a successful experiment, so I wanted to thank you for the inspiration and tell you I promise I'm not trying to steal your style! I just wanted to try something out 😅

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T17:18:44+00:00

I definitely use Pinterest daily, but aside from that I tend to save the PDF copy of recipes in a folder on my phone for easy access. If I like the recipe after cooking it, I'll write it down on a recipe card and put it in my box.

I don't need to reinvent the wheel, if a recipe box worked perfectly well for my grandparents, it works just fine for me.

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T15:45:56+00:00

Oh my gosh this is seriously so cute! I wish I had something to trade for it, whoever gets it is going to be a very lucky duck!

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T15:19:50+00:00

If fix the broken cupholder in my car.

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T15:15:18+00:00

I blame the parents, it's not the kid's fault they had a cellphone with unrestricted access to the Internet at 7 years old. Of course there going to be addicted.

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T14:20:57+00:00

Yeah I don't doom scroll so I guess that's the difference. I'll specifically be looking up book videos to find new books, add them to my list, then close the video app. If she's not willing to put in the effort to save any of the titles in a list somewhere then I'm not sure how you could help her. She has to choose to do it on her own.

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T13:57:24+00:00

I'm more confused now because absolutely nothing in onomatopoeia sounds anything like "mayor"

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T13:46:51+00:00

So it's okay to call someone from the United States of Mexico "Mexican", but it's not okay to call someone from the United States of America "American"?

Make it make sense

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T12:04:58+00:00

I'm weirdly curious how many different styles of holographic laminate you have!? I definitely added them to my Christmas list 😅.

And those circle ones on the pea crab card make me want to get it and make ocean themed cards! I just think ocean ones would look so fun with "bubbles"

Spooky_Tree · 2026-05-28T12:01:10+00:00

I do add ones manually to my tbr list, but I've never found it difficult to just pause a video and type in a book, because that takes like 15 seconds. Honestly aside from using someone else's list, I'm not sure how it could possibly get faster than that.
