CAPirani Photography & Art @capirani (2840) • United States 26 Oct 12

What do you like to make that is creative? Is it something you do by hand or on the computer, or do you use both? Some of the many various types of things I like to do are to crochet, sew, paint using acrylics, or other mediums,...

Artsy1 I am a decorative painter and I have gravitated toward ornaments. I pretty much do any craft that interests me and my non-existent budget allows me to do but have become a more serious 'upcycler' of my craft supplies and houseware junk. I like that you're...

Artsy1 I love paninis and they are super easy to make. I usually have a salad alongside it or a bowl of soup. My favorite is turkey with Colby Jack cheese, roasted red peppers,and Balsamic dressing. You can change up a panini in many different ways to suit your...

Artsy1 I've been on and off of exercising for years because it's so boring. I've had issues with chronic pain for over ten years so any form of exercise takes a lot out of me. Walking is a low impact exercise which I don't mind because I do it with my dog. If the...

hanging out with young friends makes me feel young again... :)

annavi23 @annavi23 (6522) • Philippines 8 Oct 12

Do you believe in this line? Have you ever gone through a group of friends where you are the only eldest and they are all the same age group? Isn't it amazing how it feels like to be with them and as if like you are young as...

Artsy1 Feeling younger is so infectious and can totally change your attitude. I've been in a similar situation...made me feel great but they also thought I was hysterical. I had to wonder why and then it dawned on me- all my years of experience over theirs gave me an...

Artsy1 So, the question being? Are you wanting to know why you're having them or how to rid yourself of them? I've had the same issue and have been with my soulmate for 13 years but from time to time, have a dream of an ex. Yes, it's disturbing but I did what any...

Family Tree is Cut Down

Shavkat @Shavkat (140119) • Philippines 5 Oct 12

An old saying, "Blood is thicker than water." I don't know if sibling rivalry can be seen in every family. It will be great to be competitive, but with family members? Do you think it is healthy? I've seen most cases, some people...

Artsy1 My sibling and I aren't anything alike. That's been our downfall from the get go. I try and humor my sibling and ignore what annoys me/hurts me but there's only so much you can take, family or not. Sometimes, talking is just that, even with the best...

Its time to recheck our budget. It looks like everything has gone up 20% on average this year. For every $100 we were spending were now geting the same things for about $120. Our food budget used to have extra money in it for...

Artsy1 Oh yeah, I have noticed and so has our budget. I have this discussion every time I come home and put away the groceries. I am sick of shopping just for this reason. Even though I go to the store with an optimistic attitude, I find leaving, I'm a bit angry. Our...

Apple cinnamon cupcakes

Cricket127 @Cricket127 (548) • United States 5 Oct 12

Hello all! I'm trying to put together an apple cinnamon cupcakes and the recipe calls for me to grate the apple. Sadly I don't have a grater but I do have a peeler. Will that work or does someone have another suggestion such as...

3 responses

Artsy1 I don't see why using a peeler wouldn't work. That's what I use when my recipe for zucchini bread calls for it to be grated. I think that the recipe just needs for the slices to be thin and helps keep the moisture. You may find that your best intentions on...

Artsy1 Most definitely my favorite season with the beauty of colors surrounding us. I am fortunate enough to experience the changing of the seasons, being on the east coast. I find the chilly weather a great excuse to cuddle more and make more comfort food and go...

Driving a corpse through town...WHAT?!?!

Eukenoru @Eukenoru (43) 3 Oct 12

Artsy1 Ha,ha, ha...it does look suspicious! And just in time for Halloween! I've seen things from afar as well which can be construed as something entirely different. Now, come to think of it, I don't really pay much mind to how I wrap things up- maybe I should....

Artsy1 I did have a pen pal while in junior high and she was from Calgary, Canada and knew French. That's about as exotic as I get but I have written many friends over the years but that seemed to fizzle out on their end. Something about not having time, being too...

YoghurtGal @flapiz (23152) • United Kingdom 26 Sep 12

Films that make us cry

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5954) • Greece 25 Sep 12

When I was a child I cried through every Lassie film I saw and I still cry at films about animals. I would not go to see Warhorse for that reason. It must be their vulnerability that brings on the tears. Love films make me cry too...

Artsy1 My first movie I cried uncontrollably was "The Champ". I was little then but I can recall being so upset by it but that wasn't the end to my cry baby antics. I know I will cry when a dog or horse movie comes on, whether it be a happy or a sad premise. I did...

wall art made from wood scraps...anyone?

annavi23 @annavi23 (6522) • Philippines 29 May 12

Hello guys, Do you have ideas how to personalize recycled wood scraps and make a wall art out of it? I really need some ideas I can't find something that interest me. Do you know some sites where I can see some wall decors made...

Artsy1 Sorry, I didn't think I could provide a link. Anyway, you don't really need one- just go on the Pinterest site and type in "pallet art" or "upcycling wood" and all sorts of pictures pop up and offer websites with instructions. I found that clock idea made from...

Is popcorn healthy or junk?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 22 Sep 12

I thought that whole time that it was okay and healthy to eat as much popcorn as you want. After all, popcorn is made of corn and it is very light. However, one time, I had some popcorn done and I found out that to cook it, one...

Artsy1 I agree with the air popper method (uses no cooking oil) another poster mentioned. It can be healthy, one of the best whole grain options to eat but it's what you do to it after like smothering it with butter, salt or sugar that is the unhealthy part. It has a...

Artsy1 I watched it a few years back and to this day I find if I even see the cover of the dvd, I get a little teared up. I think that humans and dogs really do complete one another- they give us so much and all they ask in return is some affection. The concept of...
