« on: March 31, 2012, 01:10:10 PM »
wanted to play with the word conversions for april fools day.


i like ponies. they smell like that one pony that i love. I wish i could remember what i called it. maybe clover pony? it was kinda green. broccoli pony? i cant remember.  i dont have that pony anymore. my husband decided to light the pony on fire and it exploded! but its ok because i have lots of ponies that smell just like that one pony.

Customs / Biggy Smalls Pony
« on: March 28, 2012, 09:07:28 PM »
this was a commission for my cousin. she wanted it to give to her friend as a birthday present.
this pony was my first for a lot of things including major sculpting, using sculpey, and using flocking. i think he turned out pretty well.

Customs / gauging interest- TRUE newbie swap
« on: March 27, 2012, 06:23:31 PM »
i read the rules and guidelines for swaps and nothing says you HAVE to have feedback. i see newbies popping up everyday and i think it would only be fair to offer a TRUE newbie swap that requires NO feedback. i think it would be nice to give the newbies a real chance to prove them selves. what do you think?


if you would join the swap what theme would you like to see?


persona?
summer?
maybe since its a newbie thing we can create personas for each other. take a little survey about yourself and in the app and have your partner come up with a persona for you.


how would you like to swap?


OPTION 1
you ship to partner
partner ships to you


OPTION 2


person 1 ships person 2
person 2 ships person 3
person 3 ships person 1
get it? kind of like a circle


what type of time frame would you like to see?
1 month?
a few months?
longer?
shorter?


if you want to be in this swap you must be aware that you will be working with people who have NO feedback and it is possible that they will bail out. this is a big risk but i believe in the newbies and i know it can be done.

Customs / Sharpie on pony
« on: March 27, 2012, 12:47:49 PM »

i ask because alex meraz is coming to town here and i was thinking of making a wolf pony and getting his autograph on it.
if you dont know who he is, he plays paul in the twilight movies.

Off Topic / business ideas - gauging interest
« on: March 26, 2012, 08:53:26 AM »
my hubby and i are tired of living paycheck to paycheck and working for other people. we are both creative and independent and we both know we were just meant to start our own business and work on our own terms. so we have been brainstorming a bit and came up with a couple things. let me know what you think.


IDEA 1
personal organizing
i love to organize i dont know why but its so much fun for me.
the problem is i cant find any info online about price and services. i search organizer and get storage containers lol.
also i have no professional experience.


is this something you would be interested in?
how much would you pay for something like this?
what do you think?


IDEA 2
car consultant
hate car shopping? me too
my hubby loves it. what would you think about filling out a credit form and giving someone else your info to go car shopping for you?
he would go from dealership to dealership looking for the car you want and find the lowest price and interest.
i know it sounds weird but then you would never have to buy a car yourself again. just show up when everything is done to collect your new car.


what do you think?


IDEA 3
diaper cakes
my mom makes diaper cakes and they look awesome and i would like to give it a go.
if you dont know what a diaper cake is here is an example.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

they are great for babyshowers and new mommys. the cake is made from diapers and decorated with things for baby like socks, animals, bibs, etc.


what do you think?
the one in the pic was made by my mom, if you search diaper cakes online they dont even come close to as nice as this one.


IDEA 4
games on wheels
this one we couldnt just do, it would take a while because of money BUT i think its a good idea.
so there are game places you can go to game with friends, walls lined with tvs and game systems. well what if we put it on wheels?
get a box truck, line it with tvs and game systems, get some nice chairs. it would be a birthday party thing. need some entertainment for your party call us. rent us out for a few hours, game and have fun!
we could also add in a kind of cafe, hot dog, snack cart thing that comes with rental.


what do you think?
is this something you would use for your child or yourself?
what would you pay for something like this?


IDEA 5
ok this one is my fave, i love it and i feel like this could be a very valuable thing to the world.
the school of common sense.
schools today are not what they should be. you learn math science and history but you DONT LEARN how to write a check or the difference in credit vs debit, or how to change the oil in your car, or change a tire etc.
this would be a after school/summer program where you send your kids to learn stuff about the real world to prepare them for what comes after graduation. this could be for adults as well, no age limit.
learning the specs of loans, best places to look for homes and cars, insurance, basic home and car repairs, anything that you have ever had a question about that school didnt teach you.
i know alot of people will say "well i learned that stuff from my parents" but not everyone does. i didnt. when i left home i didnt even know how to fill out a check myself. thank god for my husband, if it werent for him i'd still be clueless.
in todays day and age its normal for both parents to work full time jobs while kids are being raised by school and babysitters or themselves. the only time kids learn this stuff in school is if they take a class that is specific like automotive or something.
not only would this teach your kids life skills but would also give them a safe and fun environment to learn. if you are a parent who works a full time job and isn't there when your kid gets home from school this would be a great place to send them. you wouldn't have to worry about what they are doing and what they are getting into. you could have peace of mind knowing they are safe and learning to better themselves. we would also love to teach the dave ramsey financial coarse.
over all i think this would be amazing! it would be great for the economy and life in general for people to actually learn the best way to spend, save, and use money.
the only problem i see is people not wanting there kids in some random peoples house.

what do you think?
what would you pay for this?
what other curriculum what you like to see?

IDEA 6
inventions
my hubby and i come up with new inventions AT LEAST every few months. i would tell you what they are but we don't want to take any risks.
we just dont have money to come out with prototypes and we just dont know how to go about it.
any help would be great.



so thats what i have so far. trust me i WILL add more lol. i know im forgetting something and its driving me nuts.
just let me know what you think, whats the best idea? what do you suggest? thanks so much for reading!

Customs / sculpey questions
« on: March 19, 2012, 07:56:16 AM »
i recently bought some sculpey and started messing with it last night. i have some questions though.


1. how do you get rid of finger marks while sculpting?


2. how long to you bake it? i lost the instructions


also im so worried about baking and possibly melting the pony so i looked a bit online and people mentioned BOILING instead of the using the oven.


3. does boiling sculpey work?


4. how do you know when its done?


5 how do you make tiny rolls with out them breaking?


any other tips would be great thanks!
