Edited to add: Considering that the size of the tall PF stamps is unique to them, as well as a pain to stamp with in a stamping tool, you'd think it would be a priority for PF to come up with a tool that works with them. Check out this video. I've tried it and it works.

I saw where someone froze lemon slices into ice cubes to add to their water. I kind of like this idea because I like adding lemon slices to my water, but not often enough to use a full lemon. Had anyone ever done this? I would definitely wash the lemon before slicing and freezing. I do this all the time. It works great! Couple tips. When you put the lemon slices in a ziplock bag, make sure they are freezer ziplock bags not thin sandwich bags. If you fill the bag full of slices, they will get stuck together but they can easily be broken apart. If you are not filling the bag completely, kind of spread them out flat in the bag. It makes it easier to break off a slice. You will get ice crystals forming on the lemons but honestly, it does not effect the taste.

I thought I read somewhere that selling a property in California makes it easier to remove someone trespassing or squatting because the new owner had no previous involvement with the squatter/trespasser. This was a way to get around all the hoops someone has to go thru to evict people.
I could be totally wrong but I swear I read this was the new way of doing things.

I love the Bearly Arts glue. It’s the best most consistent liquid glue I’ve ever used. I use the fine tip and I don’t have to squeeze hard. I purchased the rubber cap when I got my glue. I put that on while crafting when I’m not using my glue. I try to remember to “burp” the bottle when I’m done crafting but if I forget, I can just stick the pin thru the cap and get a good flow next time I use it.

The US has a tipping culture problem. THIS! I loathe tipping. It's the grift that just keeps on grifting.

Totally agree. ETA: Although Jenn McGuire said in a video the other day that April might be her favorite MMH kit ever, and she has made me buy many things......... This is exactly why I'm keeping an open mind about the kit. I'm really bummed she has not been doing videos on the MMH kits and instead seems to be doing videos on the Gina K kits.

So it looks like most of the sneaks won't be posted until 4/10/24. Right now, I'm planning to pass.

I thought there were supposed to be sneak peeks posted when registration opened. I don't see any yet.

Today Pink Fresh released more of the product from the Feb event. So much more inspiration! I love how she paired the the butterfly set with the terrarium die from a previous event. http://instagram.com/p/C477szEtgcz

If it’s an outline stamp image, I’m typically a stamp first then stencil person.

This is disgusting. I’m not an NBC watcher because frankly they are way too liberal for me. Now I’m glad I don’t watch. Let’s see if Rachel Maddow has the guts to say something.

Um, quote my "nasty" post because I can't find one. Page 3 of the other thread, you insinuate your agreement with speculation she had gotten "big ol' royal titties" and later, you compare her to a zoo animal wearing diapers when she was post-partum. And yes, I know you'll tie yourself in knots trying to claim these were jokes. Yep, I totally said that on 3 occasions she was on display like a zoo animal in full glam wearing an adult diaper 30 min after giving birth. Is that not a true statement? I thought the "big ol' royal titties" comment Jenny Johnson posted was hilarious. Neither said something nefarious was going on. If you want to call the truth and a joke "nasty" so be it.

You must have me confused with someone else because I never said anything close to that. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be, this is exactly what they should have done two weeks ago. Are you serious right now? Of course you said that. You were absolutely nasty on that thread. Um, quote my "nasty" post because I can't find one.

okay I tried to stay away from this but why tf are you still claiming that the video of her in the flower mart was fake? It looked just like her, skinnier but it was her. And it was grainy because someone filmed it from far away sitting in their car. I mean, what would anyone have had to gain sending out a 'fake' Princess? So dumb to even speculate, DUMB. I still do not think that was her in that video. I don't think it looked like her at all.

Don't try to backtrack. You can be plenty mean and nasty. Who is backtracking? Point me to any post where I said something nefarious was going on.

It was not a faked photo. It was badly edited, but it wasn't faked. You were one of the ones going on about what they were hiding but never once explained what nefarious thing you thought it was. Do you feel satisfied now? You must have me confused with someone else because I never said anything close to that. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be, this is exactly what they should have done two weeks ago.

Hello very long time lurker here there are a few things I feel the need to say Someone mentioned KC3 has Prostrate cancer He does NOT He had trearment for an Enlarged Prostrate He has not disclosed what type of cancer He has BUT has confirmed it is NOT prostrate . The Prince & Princess of Wales are actully largly funded by The Duchy of Cornwall which is a legacy fund built up with investments property portfolios etc etc . It is handed to each Prince of Wales So when William becomes King He will inheret The Duchy of Lancaster Prince George comes of age He will take over the Duchy of Cornwall & so on The majority of the grant TRF get each year goes on keeping the Royal buildings standing it has been stated many times that The Queen actully used Her own personal money towards building upkeep because the grant very rarly covers it Also only Working Royals get anything from the Grant which mainly goes on expensives as They don't actully get that much . All this fuss over where The Princess of Wales is just plain awful leave the poor woman alone ffs People have no right demanding medical evidence A statment was given at the time why can people not be satifyed with that ?? Oh by the way please stop calling Her 'Kate Middleton ' She stopped being known as that when She got married it is just lazy & rude 1) It's prostate NOT prostrate. 2) Your post needs serious punctuation use.

What's more - you know whose platform is all about bullying on social media? Harry & Meghan, Meghan was just last week in a seminar talking about how cruel people on social media were to her ....and what have they come out and said in support of Catherine...nothing, Radio silence. Not a single word. Please point me to all the direct quotes from Will & Kate for all the support they have given Harry & Meghan.

Has anyone seen the video of William and 'Kate' shopping... I swear it does not even look like her. I'm not one on looking that close or analyze pictures, but the second I saw that video I was like 'that isn't Kate'. But maybe my old eyes are failing me. lol Um yeah that's not Kate in the video. It's 2024 and *that's* the best pic someone can snap?

Yeah there’s some weird shit going on with the royal family. I don’t believe this is just Kate recovering from an alleged abdominal surgery. I still laugh at the pea who posted she’s back and looks good in a totally fake photo 🤣😂🤣😂
The popapologists sucked me in too. 😁

It all sounds like heaven except for the no internet. That would be the hard part because I work from home and I love to surf the net. I mean the whole COVID lockdown was awesome for me.

Welcome mem186! If you know you enjoy coloring, you may want to splurge on alcohol markers but if you are just dipping your toe in, I'd highly recommend an inexpensive set from Amazon. I purchased a set from Studio 71. I'm not a colorer so they work for me but they are not fancy. Since you have never attended one of the events before, I highly recommend that you read the previous Crop & Create threads. There's a ton of good info in them.

I order regularly from AliExpress and once from Temu. I've never had any issues with my credit card being compromised. I only order from the website not from the app. I've had really great experiences getting refunds when product was missing or defective.

The Temu app is horrible, spam and message inundation. Never used the App. One thing I can say is my card making has really expanded mostly due to Temu. I have been able to buy a vast assortment of cool dies and some stamp and die sets that would have been almost 10X the price on traditional craft sites or stores. True, I have some guilt possibly supporting questionable practices, but so many businesses push boundaries, not just in China. Well, you do you I guess. Thankfully there are still a lot of crafters who would rather pay the actual creators for those cool dies and stamp sets and we might be able to keep them in business and creating for us a bit longer. But you go ahead and buy the cheap knock-offs from those that just outright steal the designer’s creative and intellectual property. Surely that won’t ever drive the industry into the ground. If the US craft businesses actually wanted to stop the AliExpress & Temu buying then then they'd offer their product at a reasonable price. Why can Gina Marie Designs offer her dies for $10 but everyone else charges $25+? They can blame AE and Temu all they want but the reality is they need to look within.

I stand by what I said originally...I'd tell the kid their feelings are valid and also let them know that this won't be the last time someone disappoints them in their life. Friends will come and go throughout their life.
What is a "minor teenager"? 17? 13? That makes a difference to me. I mean if this is a 17yr old and 20yr old I may have differing advice than if it was a 13yr old and a 26yr old.
I may suggest that the next time they are together and your son can pull him aside one on one, he tell him that he saw him take whatever it was and that was not OK. I would not go into what ifs or legal anything but just leave it at that was not OK.
As the parent, I'd limit the time my kid was around the adult. If your son has to be in this group, I'd encourage him to put distance between the adult and himself.
