Custom printing on leather? I am looking to make a friend a short custom scrap book of her graduation. But when I look online for personalized photo albums they all hold like 100 pictures. I only will need at most 30 pictures. So I decided I would try and make a personalized one on my own. I was thinking I could use shaped paper clips and heat them to print them.

Present Help For My 90 Year Old Grandma? Hello All, In Advance: Sorry this is going to be really long! Alright, so to start tonight we had a party for my grandma who turns 90 on Friday (the 19th). I love my grandma to death. She spends every holiday with us, she lives 10 minutes away so we are always together too. I am very close to my grandma and I want to treat 90 special because who knows how much time I have left with her. The party was tonight and we are doing a little get together on her actual birthday and I want to get her something nice. Here is a little background on my beloved grandma: -She was born in Italy in 1919 and came to this country in 1947. -She loves to crochet (but she insists that she can get her yarn for free through a friend so there goes that) -She loves traditional Italian things (but my cousin gave her an italian specialty food gift basket. grr) -She loves puzzles -She likes to cook but not too much since she is 90 now lol -She is from Isola di Istria -She loves going to the pool (but again gosh darn it by cousin and his wife gave her something for that too) -She loves going to atlantic city (and yes, someone gave her money to go there too) -She takes great pride in her heritage. Ok, so thats my grandma in a nutshell lol. Also we were going to get her a personalized photo album for photos from the party but guess what, someone already gave her that too! So yes, now I am stuck back at square one. My grandma has always been the hardest person to shop for. Christmas I'm always stuck. But I don't want 90 to be small you know, I want to give her something special. I just don't know what! My mom says we only planned up to 85 and now we are out of ideas! If any of you have an idea as to what I can get my grandma that would be really helpful. I've tried to think but I can't! I have to get the gift before Friday so quick responses are wonderful. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry again for the very long message *Also Im 17 and my brother is 15 going on 16 so we don't have too much money. The most expensive thing we were really looking at was like 60-70 dollars and we plan on splitting it. Oh boy more notes lol. A lot of people say to make a scrapbook and use pictures. A weekend before the party I told my grandma I had a scrapbook project for italian but obviously that was a little lie. I made a large collage of all these pictures of her through life so that rules that out too. sorry im being so picky lol -Human Giant: Get a life. -We had a surprise party tonight. We had like 55 people and Italian food galore lol. -I just feel that 90 is more than shortbread. My grandma is the greatest person I have ever met and I dont want to give her shortbread, I think 90 is more than that. But thank you for your input! Maggie: What a wonderful idea! When I said my grandma loves puzzles she loves like word searches and sudko but she loves puzzles in general so that would be good as well! What a wonderful idea! I never would have even thought of that! Thank you so much! I will definitely keep it in mind. cecstar: I have been on those sites but my grandma does not have a computer. Yo first mentioned a physical book, where can I get those? -I know the puzzle was a fantastic idea but its just that my grandma would not do it. She really occupies her time crochetting for others. She would just i dont even know lol
Should I tell my friend I love her or be a little more patient? I am really curious about what people think about this.Me and this girl at work a little over year ago and instantly became best buddies.We used to look forward to work together and even more to be off on the same day so we could go out for a drink,or museum and generally have fun like good mates do.Nothing more than that has ever happened.This lasted until the day when she made a discrete comment about relationship i was in at a time.This one comment finished by something like "i think you're waisting time with this person but whatever,this is your life" has really kinda opened my eyes to this girl.She just knew i wasn't happy.Our friendship continued until the day when she left back home (which is to make things even more complicated literally on the other side of the planet) Ever since then i don't think there was a day when i haven't though about her.8 months passed during which i have broken up with my current girlfriend and manged to get back in touch with the one far way.To my surprise she was very happy to hear from me and suggested we send each other little x-mass presents.So we did...and here i am sending a little something just to remind her of the good times when we first met and she sends me......4 presents including personalized photo album and .....a passport holder.After banging my had on the wall for having let her go without a word I instantly remembered how she used to say that I should come over and live where she lives.I perhaps would have if not one more year till I graduate from University.Now what does this all sound like to you? Currently we mail each other about once week, although last week we did every day. The question is then;do i tell her i love and loved her since day one? The valentine's day is coming and i was planning on sending little rose with note. what you've got here is two friends thousands of miles apart which makes it perhaps the most complicated case ever as long distance and friendship are often said to be risky when it comes to admitting love.But does it mean its impossible? well,anyone?
What did you get your spouse for Christmas? I got my husband a personalized jersey, some shoes, and a photo album of him and his parents. We found a lot of photos that were almost thrown away and I think its really special because his parents split up when he was two and he doesn't have any family memories. Im so excited to give him this album. I think he'll love it. Hopefully!
All-Inclusive Wedding Business Plan? In the local economy (Ocala, FL) businesses close, daily. I have the oppertunity to run my dream business & presently own a biz already that does well: I have an idea & I need advice. I can lease (& live there at the same time in this dream place) a beautiful mini-mansion, perfect for hosting weddings, events, parties, etc., & it has a basement in which my fiance can put-in his dream music recording studio. We can afford this place, however we'd be financially tight. So I thought: Use it as an all-inclusive place where events & weddings can be hosted. Offering my event planning servce; the house as location; honeymoon night in the master suite; I also have a relationship with the manufacturer of major label (Maggie Sottero, Mori Lee, Divinci, you name it I can get-these gowns costing thousands for only $200 or less, direct. Fiance is a chef & can do the food. Undercut everyone else; also handle floral, favors, etc. We own wedding decor, everything. He's a notary & can marry the couple. We could handle any event. Problem: we can afford the investments & advertising but would be financially tight at first. He's scared, but this is my dream chance. I already run a great biz that takes alot of time. I can do "All-Inclusive Events & Weddings." I would be able to offer in this terrible economy to people, "platinum weddings," -- everything included, for $2,500.00 or LESS depending on what they want. We checked around, here the others are pricing starting at $940 and it includes ONLY the use of the location!? NO OTHER SERVICES! I think people will flock to us to do their weddings & events. It is it worth being possibly "house-poor?" Is this something people would go for? Even if we didn't do this idea, we could afford the place but it would be tight. & this is my dream. Should I try it? The owners of the place want $1,500/mo. & will keep it the same next year if we renew. Renting a "regular" home & leasing a storefront for my idea is the EXACT SAME PRICE except I wouldn't have a location to host the events & weddings. Should I go for the mini-masion or a reg. home & storefront or should I forget it, all together? Included in the weddings would be: gown & accessories to keep, floral, bridal bouquet, etc., decor, cake, food, location, honeymoon night in our glamorous master suite; B&B style, favors, reception location, wait staff, use of all ceremony & reception accessories, use of tables, chairs & china service, set-up & break-down, music, wedding planning & coordination services, ceremony & officiant, newlywed gift basket & 20 photos. Optional at lower cost than others are charging: video, personalized items & photo albums, special-order & color-coordinated decor, live band & anything else they dream of. I can get/offer it all at less than 1/2 of what others are charging. What should I do? Presently, I just offer my gown service.
Good graduation gift for best friend? So I graduated this year and im not exactly sure what i should get my best friend for her graduation present. I'm going away to college so she got me a bunch of personalized picture frames and photo albums and things for my dorm. But shes staying home so I'm not sure.. any ideas? thanks!
is this fair or really really not? ok, so firstly, i dont want to sound ungreatful or like a cow, but im just gonna say this how it is. ok so for my birthday, (near easter btw) i mostly got easter eggs from my friends!! (they cost like 1 pound!!) and for my other friends birthday, in a few weeks, all my friends have ask me if i want to give 2o pounds in to get her concert tickets and a personalised photo album! they also did this for a few other of our mates bdays, (november 08, feb 09) then in april for mine i got easter eggs, then for oct 09, they go back to expensive!!!!!! wth! ok so what do you think? is this fair? hope this makes sense! :) thanks :) yeah! and another thing is why mix my bday with easter! it should be about me not easter! also my mates is near halloween and i ask ' why do i get easter eggs and (name) doesnt get pumkins!!! arrrrggghhh!! well actually they spend months planning (names) present and i get a easter egg! its the principle. why should i give 20 pounds for someone and i get nothing back. im not being horrible just true ;)
Does it appear "cheap" to give hand-made gifts for Christmas? With Christmas coming really quickly, I'm trying to think of gift ideas to give away to family and friends. We don't have very much money (I'm sure we're not the only ones) and wondering what everyone thinks of giving home made gifts. Some ideas I've come up with so far are photo albums, personalised stationary (calendars etc), Christmas goodies (brownies, cookies etc), hand made soaps, and clothing for our 2 young nieces. I'm a very creative person, I'm into scrapbooking, crafts and cooking. I want to know whether others think that gifts like that will be appreciated. Personally I love hand made gifts but not so sure other's do too. Any thoughts are appreciated and other gift ideas would be great too. We have a lot of people to buy for really. In my family there is my parents, 3 sisters, 1 brother and I always give something to my paternal grandparents too as I'm very close to them. On my partners side there is his parents, 1 sister, her husband and 2 young daughters, his other sister and her partner, and his nan and 3 cousins. We have a lot to do with them so would like to give them something small each. He also has his other nan, 2 aunties and a cousin. I don't think it's necessary to buy for them as we don't know them very well but they usually buy something for us and I don't want to feel unnappreciative by not giving something back. Unfortunately they're the kind that count a gift on monetary value but don't seem to understand that we just don't have plenty of money to spend on gifts so not sure what to give them. I was thinking maybe just a hamper, ie. basket/box filled with goodies to share. Btw, by home made I mean properly made items, not just bits of paper stuck on a cardboard box or something. I intend to put time and effort in to make the gifts as well as possible. Also, I don't know how to crochet and I'm not the best knitter either so those aren't really options. I think we'll still have to buy some gifts either way, our brother in law doesn't like anything that doesn't have "Holden" on it lol.

Help needed to create a personalized program as a gift for my boyfriend? i am a beginner when it comes to programing, below is the idea of the program i want to create. All i need is to know what kind of procedure to follow or what programs to use or which language or whatever, and then i'll manage with some self-help books..Thanks! i want it to be a setup that's like a game (kind of like the sims) with me, and the appartment where I'm living. i want to have a representation of every single part of the house and my room. and add some little twists as when he goes to my wardrobe in my room he can see the clothes i have, and then on my desk a photo album with all my pics as a child etc... i basically want it to be representing all the things i do in my everyday life and the things that matter to me. So it would be very simple, he could dress me up with my own clothes if he wants to. he could look around in my room and as he looks around stuff opens up and reveals more details. PS. i am very patient and in no hurry, i just want it to be a good quality program I do realise that it will take a lot of time, and a lot more experience. but I'm a fast learner, and I will seek help if stuck, I just need to know the procedure required in order to get the best quality results Thanks!

I need a site that will give me a personalized site/area where it is easy for others to download photos. Help? I've been looking for some photo sites to help me share my swim action photos with others. For free. I'm looking for a site that has very little restrictions on how many photos I can upload daily, and I can have a good 500+ photos on the site. I also want it so I have a personalized site with a sub-domain (pref.) or an album area where I can easily share my photos with others. It is very important that the users can download these images without having to do much (at most register at the site). I can't seem to find anywhere that can meet the above without having me pay money. I absolutly need it to be free. What would be the best site to help me with this?

Help! 60th anniversary gift??? My grandparents are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary soon and I am stuck on ideas. The family is getting together to get them something big, but I want to get them something extra. I am very artsy and would love to make something, or at least have a hand in personalizing it. One idea I had thought of was a photo book (like you can get from shutterfly) with images and memories of the last 60 yrs. But my grandpa doesn't like to have all these "useless photos and photo albums" lying around so that's out. (how anyone could live without photos I have no idea!:) but hey). Does anyone have any other thoughts? I don't mind spending a bit but want it to be something special and unique. Help! Thanks!

how do you downsize your belongings? I need some tips on downsizing the stuff in my apartment. I've already given away and gotten rid of a lot of stuff. But I'm trying to simplify even more. My main issues are that I don't like throwing away things that are still good, and I would rather get money for it than donate, but sometimes that leads to keeping things around longer. Also, I have guilt issues when I get rid of things and I fear regretting it... I try to follow the 6 month rule (if I haven't used it in 6 months it's out!) but I worry that I'm making too many exceptions. Here are some of my main hangups below. decorative - clearly, you don't NEED or USE anything decorative. So where do you draw the line at what is enough to have around the house to make it cozy and personalize, versus what can be considered clutter? computer parts - I usually keep parts when I upgrade my PC in case the current on breaks and I need a backup. Is this just a waste of space? I mean, it's not good to throw those things out (very hazardous for the environment - they leak lead and other toxins!) and it's hard to find places to recycle them anyway. So I figure I keep them around until I can donate them or until I can use them, but they do take up space... right now I have a power supply, hard drive, video card, and some RAM just sitting in a box as backup... is this a waste?? clothing - The 6 month rule works quite well here, but I'll admit there are a few items I keep either as novelty items for when I feel like dressing out of the ordinary or that I keep because it seems like a waste to give them away when I paid XX$ for them and only wore them X times. Is it time to let go? art supplies - This is a tough one. I don't do as much art work as I used to, and the media I use now is quite different. I do more photo and mixed media than before, but less painting and drawing. I have pastels, crayons and markers that I've been keeping for years and haven't used in at least 5 years. They're expensive to replace, but am I really going to replace them if I haven't had time to use them in that long? It's hard to let go when I've been keeping them that long and feels like I'm giving up on my art if I give them away :( art work - I don't know if I can let go of anything I've made. I can always sell my work, but that hasn't worked too well for me so far. In the meantime, it accumulates. Sometimes I do shows, but it's been rare in the past 6 months. I hope to get back into it. This is a conundrum for me. things that don't belong to me - I have a couple things that friends have left at my house during a party or whatnot and that I've had for some time. Is it terribly inconsiderate to give it away when they haven't claimed it in this long? What if they come searching for it one day? gifts - This is a tough one too, ridden with guilt. I have an old vase my late uncle gave me that I don't really want to keep anymore because it takes up space and clashes with my stuff... little trinkets given to me by students or old friends, some of who I'm in touch with and other whom I no longer speak to. It seems blasphemous to give away a gift... How do you handle this one? expensive items - I hate giving away expensive things. I do a lot of photo and have several cameras from when I studied photography, as well as lots of photo equipment. I doubt I'll need it again, and there's no one to give it to really or sell it to, but this stuff was so expensive that I hate getting rid of it... What to do? I can't just throw it out!!! And is it really useful to DONATE specialized equipment? It might just collect dust in a thrift shop :( collectibles (movies, books, music, photo albums) - Obviously, I don't use every movie or book or song or photo album every six months. This is one of the hardest things to downsize, especially because it's a trip down memory lane every time I go through this stuff to get rid of anything. I've managed to downsize some of my collection but it's very difficult. Advice needed! Big time! dishware and useful objects - I never know when to draw the line on this one. Sometimes these things are expensive to replace if you make a mistake by giving them away. Sometimes I get so discouraged when I try to downsize. It seems like so much effort to get rid of THINGS. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated! (I like long answers!) 10 pts to someone who addresses each item with advice on how to get over my hangups ;)
need anniversary gift for romantic man. advice please...? We have been dating 1 yr soon. I need a romantic or personalized gift as I know this is what he will want. I do not want to do photo in a frame (he has dozens), photo album (already has one of "us", lingerie (we use new stuff all the time), and we cannot go out to eat or to places of entertainment as he is in a really small rural town and there isn't anywhere for like a 1 hr drive away (I know, I know)! Anyways, please send me links to websites or items you might think of as good. Chocolates, flowers, or food won't cut it. He doesn't do much but sit at home and use his computer or do crosswords when he is off work so I am not sure what to get him. He is into sports but not anywhere where he can go to them, paranormal shows, and history. Any suggestions? I have an idea of what he is getting me and it is very romantic and elaborate. I am only looking to spend under $300 but I want it to be something that he can treasure long term.

Nice wedding phrase for gift? I'm getting my friend a photo album for her bridal shower since she is a photographer. I'm allowed to personalize it on 2 lines. On the first line I put her and her fiance's names and on the 2nd line I would like to put some sort of love/wedding saying. I thought of 'Forever and Always' and 'Together Forever'. Any other suggestions??? BTW: I would just put their wedding date but they haven't officially settled on a specific date yet. Also I'm only allowed 22 characters including spaces.
How do they personalize the Private Splash page on MYSPACE? I have visited a few private profiles & have noticed that some of them have their own pictures as the "private" page the rest of us see. Remember, I'm NOT talking about the home page we see after we log in. I'm talking about the page everyone sees when a profile is set to private and thats just where it stops us. So how do they do it? How do they put their own personal pics on that page?Some profiles I have come across have THAT STOP THIS IS PRIVATE page all decorated with their own personal layout. NOT AFTER YOUR LOGGED IN AND THEIR FRIEND.. Just for the record. AND its NOT their photo albums either that I'm talking about. Heres a link to an example of one... http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=28232965

homemade christmas gifts, ladies aged 28-32 what would you like that is homemade? I have one sister, 3 in-laws aged 29, 30, 31, 32. heh. I'm 15. so I have a limited budget. 2 years ago, I made felt bookmarks that I stitched patterns on and attached buttons. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2270/2105977798_4146ce32c4.jpg?v=0 pretty much that but with actual buttons. last year I made martini glass candles: http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd116/murphdog_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_5814.jpg I need another idea! nothing stereotypical, because they all have different tastes. I like doing something that's one project, not a personalized project for each person. again, small budget! and I don't just want to make a gift basket. I want something that I created. thanks! [: by the way, I love cooking/baking but I have no clue what I could make!
A present for a friend that is into photography? One of my close friends share the same birthday as Halloween, which is awhile from now but I currently have nothing to do but will be busy for the next month or two so I want to plan what I should get for her as a birthday present. Her most praised possession is her camera, because she is into photography and take amazing photos. I was thinking about getting her vintage cameras but I can not find good deals on that. I might create her one of those album books you can create at walgreens but I dont know about that. She likes personalized stuff so I really dont know what to get for her. I want it to involved the theme photography though. I would get her a photo edit program but she already has some and I dont want to ask her which one she has because it might make it seem obvious. So help please. Less then 50 dollars would be good.
Where to print my Christmas Card? I am making a personalized Christmas card this year & do not want a pre-designed one where you drag and drop your photos. I found one website where I can put my personal design into the card but the cards are $1.49 per 8x4 card. The website is cardstore.com. Is there any other websites that allow me to upload my own design without a premade template for a little cheaper? This is my card http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp211/ultimatefarmergirl/2008touploadchristmascard.jpg Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Personalised 21st Present Idea's for My Brother? My brother's 21st birthday is this year and i want to give him a personal present but just don't know what??? He gave me for my 21st a powerpoint DVD of childhood photo's of the 2 of us which also had funny title pages and music along with it. I want to do something like this but don't want to copy his idea, not to mention I'm not great at computers. I had thought of doing a scrapbook album of photo's of us, family and his friends with comments from the all but don't think a boy will like this. Any suggestions would be great!!! :)
Ok Parents - need your opinion? My friend bought this reward chart from ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEPPA-PIG-Personalised-Reward-Chart_W0QQitemZ170303292163QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Toys_PreSchool_RL?hash=item170303292163&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 I seen it and I thought it would be really easy to make. So I made my daughter this one - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=62835&id=831853087&saved#/photo.php?pid=1372362&id=831853087 Do you think its good enough to sell on ebay? They will be laminated, the names, colours and pictures can be changed and the stickers are little laminated pictures with sticky velcro on the back. If the facebook link doesnt work, try this one - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1372362&l=14810&id=831853087 Joesephine - no she couldnt - her stuff is not copyrighted therefore is public property. Yeh I thought she was off her head to pay £10 for it too! I'd prob charge £5 with free P&P due to time take to make, laminat, cost of paper and laminating pouches and velcro.
wedding photo albums??? Can anyone help me please!! im trying to find a special wedding photo album, possibly vintage and leather that can be personalised. just want something quite speical, any ideas welcome. i'm happy to order from anywhere in the world!
First year anniversary gift? Okay, so my boyfriends and mine anniversary is coming up. ( June 21st ) I have no idea what to make him! I'm not buying anything, too broke at the moment. This would be so easy if I didn't use all of the good ideas for valentines day, christmas, etc. I've already made him a mixed CD, personalized DVD, photo album, and yeah. So what would be something cute? :D oh, by the way.. i'm fifteen. no naked things. hahahaaa :D
Need Help!! I need another creative gift idea for my boyfriend..ASAP!!!? Okay so, my boyfriend and I have been together for 5 1/2 years, and we have been talking recently about getting married, but neither of us can afford it right now...obviously we're not going anywhere, so it is not a big deal, but still I will be ecstatic when it finally happens. Anyways, so we are high school sweethearts and all, but the problem is, I have always been really creative especially for his gifts over the years. I feel like I'm running out of options. I used to make him really special stuff all of the time, and then I kinda got busy and stopped doing it so much. When I did he asked me why I stopped because even though I didn't see how much he secretly loved them, mostly just appreciation, he was upset. He said he never wants to completely express it, but they always made him feel so extremely loved and cared about, that's why he adores getting those kinds of gifts, it's more special. So, he mentioned a couple of months ago that he would like to get one of those Italian charm necklaces, like the boot of Italy on a nice chain. I happened to remember that and went to the jewelry store and ordered it for him and everything. I know that is going to be special on it's own, but the thing is I really want to give him More this year. Not as in how much it costs, but by how special it is. I've certainly put him through a lot this year, and he has been nothing but absolutely amazing for me. So I really think he deserves something great. The problem is, I have done everything from scrapbooks, to homemade food and dinners, photo albums, picture frame engraving, personalized cell phone and family plan, a puzzle cut up with different pictures and quotes,etc.,personalized baskets, shopping bags full of hot lingerie and stuff for us, and so on. I just really do not have a clue what to do on top of everything this year. I want it to be truly special, so he knows how much I love him that I put a lot of work into him because he is mine, you know? Please, please, if you have any suggestions at all, even something small...it would mean so much to me. I have just exhausted all of my other options and I"m really stuck. Thank you!!
