What are your interests or crafts?

[Mary Kay]

I know it won't help Hil..but I always told my kids..Crap washes off!
I figure I have to die of something sometime..why waste time sweating the small stuff. But then again, I'm a bit on the odd side.

LOL Mary - the only surface crap washes off of - is a little baby's ....!
Outside of that - it will seep under your skin and turn your entire being into crap!8-o8-o8-o

Edit - Yes I know I have a problem and I really wish I didn't!

Mr MaryKay and Hil.... you're clear. Trust me. *Eyes roll, big sigh, thinks about the ones I can't talk about due to HIPPA...*

I like what I do now -- I hated being a therapist, but I worked in public mental health, which is mostly court-ordered, so basically frustrating and soul-sucking.

Hilway... have you considered finding out what her birthday/special day/ just be nice day is and giving her a lanyard for her card? Maybe in her favorite colors? (Like... my daughter/friend/niece/et cetera is all into beads/string-craft/whatever and gave me this, but I'm really not fond of blue/green/purple with yellow racing stripes and I know that you are? Would you like this lanyard for your card?)

 

[BARENETTED]

CZ - OH how I wish. Would you believe it is on a lanyard and she doesn't wear it around her neck ? - She carries the thing!

 

[Mary Kay]

CZ..you brought us back to topic very nicely! lanyards..lol Skillfully handled!

Now, What are you guys doing for a place for all yor E-realted stuff? I have my bottles of e-liquid in plastic utencil holders (the kind you fit in a drawer and put knives and forks in) The batts and attys are in a carved cigar box, the empty bottles are in a baggie. I have alcohol , glycerine and P.G. next to the cigar box...I need a better and neater system!

Invent me one please!

Hope I can explain this so you all can understand.

One of my clients sent me a large tin of popcorn at Christmas. It is quite nice looking. It has pictures of national parks all over the outside, so it doesn't look bad, no matter where I leave it. It is 16 inches in diameter and 10 inches high. It holds quite a bit.

I have placed disposable plastic drinking cups inside of it - all around the perimeter. I have placed an 8 inch round plastic basket in the center of the cups.

Each cup holds something different - bottles of juice, batteries, atomizers, cartridges, syringes, droppers (used for mixing diy liquids) etc. The center basket holds a pint of PG, a small bottle of glycerin and all my little Lorann flavor bottles for my lab experiments.

I keep my chargers all together in another smaller tin.

Good lord I need an organized system. Right now I have a small Tupperware veggie bin, blue (similar to a small sterilite container) I have some extra juice, filled carts, and a pair of tweezers in it. Next to it, is the kit box from e smokey treats that my 510 came in. I have extra batts and attys in there. Next to that, I have a roll of paper towels and a can of air. I find that the new usb plug charger has a permanent home on my laptop. I keep some paper towels near my laptop and a bottle of juice. My PCC is sitting ready to go on my nightstand with the usb charger right next to it. I haven't had to take take PCC out with me in the last two days since the houseguests have left. I've just been vaping like mad as I clean up after them. OMG, I need a rant thread about them. Off to find one.

oooooo....I'm a beader, reader, and doodler! Not necessarily in that order! I'm not that great at the beading or the doodling but I absolutely love it. It relaxes me, and takes my mind off other issues. I love going to the bead store...I can spend hours there and not buy a single thing....or buy too much!! My BFF and I have this little tiny used book store that we love going to. We'll gather all our books that we've read and already traded and get credit and buy more. We call them "fluff books" LOL...

 

[SueandCootie]

Marykay...I have a small wood with glass curio cabinet...the type you can either hang on a wall or set on a shelf...which was one of the only things left behind in this little old house I bought and am starting to update cosmetically. I like these, turned one into a 1/2" scale dollhouse years ago, but hadn't done anything with this one, and it's a nice one too...so now it's serving as the perfect and pretty cig supply cabinet! It's right next to my desk so I have light and a work surface...I see these at yard sales around here quite often, altho this might be more of a project than you'd want if your not going to vape long term. Maybe a spice rack type thing could work too..

 

[Mary Kay]

That is a good idea! I will take a picture of what I have now and maybe it will give you guys an idea what I should do! I like the curio cab. idea.

I am using a wine box to hold my liquid. It's decorative, and the inside is lacquered wood so I don't have to worry about damage should anything leak or spill.
The wine box is one of these kinds ...

The high-domed lid leaves plenty of head room even with 30ml bottles so you can just shut it to hide those less-than-attractive plastic bottles. If I had children still at home I would just change out the closing clasp to a locking-type one.

My main interest is to enjoy retirement! Crafts...paint fallen maple, etc leaves with metallic paints and give them away to friends. Also, rehab orphaned baby squirrels, and release them back to the wild when they are about 16 weeks old. (Now that I vape, I have to be very careful to wash my hands before I touch them!)

 

[Mary Kay]

Erised! That box is glorious! I love it muchly!
Wezzie, I love painted leaves..send one my way! Or you can just post a picture..that works too I bought a couple, one on a chain and one with a pin back, a while back to wear with sweater. They don't last forever though.

 

[wezzie]

Haven't started a new batch yet, but I will when they are done....they are very fragile and I would have to figure out how to package them. I will send a pic when I figure out how to do that!!!

I was just thinking about using a decorative box to store my supplies. I went to the Hobby Lobby with the houseguests, and while I was wandering around, I saw some pretty boxes there. A nice wooden box and perhaps line it with something that I can clean. I've been eying my nice wooden case Risk game as a possible supply box, but it's a bit too big to leave on my nightstand.

 

[Mary Kay]

Is't it weird how everything has become e-related? Every walk down a store aisle, every time you look through some old stuff, every time you leaf through a catalogue..you see it! The one thing you really need to make the wigget to hold the whatsit!

 

[shivadance]

Ain't it the truth! I wandered around hobby lobby 2x just in case I missed something that would be useful. I found the LorAnn's straight off but was looking at storage boxes/containers, plastic bottles, foam for custom carry cases...

 

[Jennee26]

That is so true Marykay. I was thinking about that the other day, that I can't go through any store thinking "Oh that would be good to carry my pv in" or "Oh, that would make a cute Juice Holder". Even in the nail section they have the new nail art pens that allow you to paint tiny designs on your nails and I thought "Oh, that would be good to decorate my pv with". HA HA HA. As far as hobbies go, what I like to do besides play the wii or lay on my couch (no kids yet) is do some designing in paintshop pro with pictures, clip art and different digiscrap kits I have. I even make my own desktop backgrounds.

 

[Mary Kay]

Jennee, use your photo shop thingy to make some pictures of decorated e-cigs! That would be something to do when you are bored! Since thay are pictures..they could be painted or faux finished in any way you can think of!

 

[Jennee26]

HA HA. Marykay. I'll see what I can come up with. Maybe even print it on a sticker and wrap it around my e-cig? LOL
