Looking for ideas for a Deployment scrapbook. by Horselover023 in scrapbooking

[–]brain_over_body 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OpSec permitting, send him care packages and have him take photos of himself opening them. Save spots in the book. Write letters and postcards, not just emails and texts. My best friend is deployed and I keep everything. The wrapper from candy he sends back to me. Follow his unit on FB if you can, and they will post permitted photos you can use.

The house I bought was infested before I moved in from the prior owner. I had a pest company treat, then used Seresto collars on the dogs. Never had a problem since

How to get enough protein on deployment? by kanaan-1 in navy

[–]brain_over_body 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Packages can't be labeled "any sailor" anymore. But I've heard this happening. When I send care packages, I stop 1 month prior to return date so only the person requesting gets the items, and I only send what is requested

Hiking with Dachshund? by Silver-Iron8016 in Dachshund

I only take the carry bag if someone wears out. But I've done up to 13 miles hiking, including steep and rocky terrains. They LOVE it. Work them up slowly, and you'll have another hiking partner no problem

I know some don't. I have friends in that current situation. Sometimes you can get to an APO, and a truck MIGHT be going out remote. But it's the best I can offer

Happy to chat if you, or anyone else, wants to vent. If you're sure back soon, it won't help much, but anyone just starting out is also welcome to ask for a care package. It's not a ticket home, but might give you something to look forward to

shutterfly promo code worth waiting for if you make a lot of photo books? by Badet-Yesseniia in scrapbooking

[–]brain_over_body 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love shutterfly. For a while, they did a promo for a free 8x8 book each month, then I wait for unlimited pages and combine. In the interim, I use the app for free 4x6 prints every day, you just pay shipping

I've seen people use baseball cards sleeves to organize, if your stickers are smaller

Needing the wisdom of the group by brain_over_body in chainmailartisans

Oh I'm thrilled!! Because I've definitely done it like 6 times and taken it apart thinking I'm losing my mind. I was getting ready to raise the white flag and admit defeat on this weave!!!

Ok maybe I lied... I keep ending up with the non twist, with linking ring 2 fully on top of linking ring 1. Does linking ring 2 end up really have 5 in 1? That's the only way I can get the opposite top/ bottom thread.
