How can I get my boyfriend to put more thought and effort into our relationship?

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:04:16 +0000

My boyfriend and I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. For a present, I made him a scrapbook of all the pictures we’ve taken over the past year. This took tons of time and not to mention alot of money. In return, he gave me a cheap necklace ($14). My boyfriend doesn’t have much money and he is currently unemployed. The money is not the problem, however. The problem lies in the fact that he could have planned ahead and done a few odd jobs here and there to buy something a little nicer. How do I get him to put more effort into our relationship and effort into preparing for special occasions like these?

you can sit down with him and try to talk about it, but thats probably just the way he is and he probably won’t change any time soon. most men are like this. still there’s no harm in trying to talk to him about how you feel. and i hope he is trying to get a job. if he’s not then he is obviously just lazy when it comes to getting a job and having a relationship so u should dump him.

Does anyone have an idea of how to organize scrapbooking templates?

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:04:10 +0000

I have a bunch of scrapbooking templates that I use to crop photos, and I need a way to keep them organized. If you also love scrapbooking I would assume you would be able to help me the most, but I’m open to all suggestions!

I used to keep mine in 3-ring binders, because most of them came already punched with holes for storage. I recently changed my whole craft area and now use a filing cabinet. I’ve placed the templates in hanging folders, filed by shape: circles, hearts, squares, rectangles, and ovals. I usually know what shape I want before I pull out the templates, so it is just a matter of pulling that file and sizing the template to the photo.

How do start a monthly online scrapbook kit?

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:04:05 +0000

I know how to assemble them and order the product. I am just not sure how to get business. Like, how do I set up a nice website, and how do I advertise it to get business? How do I show up at the top when someone types in scrapbook Page Kits.

You really should develop some form of a business plan to start.

E-commerce packages are widely available depending on needs and budget. First, you will need a domain name that is not already in use – try Network Solutions. From there, you will also need a web hosting company to host your website — I recommend 1and1.com since they have a wide variety of tools at your disposal that are user friendly to a beginner.

Also, if you plan to build the site yourself you will need basic knowledge of HTML/CSS. If you don’t plan to build it yourself then a pre-packaged site such as Volusion or Homestead will be helpful to you.

You have to build the foundation before you even begin to think about how to market it correctly. Your business plan should help you address this — as you will need to decide your target market and how best to reach them through various media.

Showing up at the ‘top of the page’ refers to SEO — Search Engine Optimization. There are two ways to approach this: organic and paid search. Organic Search is based on the content and relevance of your site as it pertains to search keywords. This is a fueled by search engine methodologies. On the second hand business pay for keywords or search terms. The budget you set for these terms will affect your page ranking for a specific search. When users click on your ad you pay based upon your top bid for that keyword.

Why is it so hard for my long distance fiance to do the little things?

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:01:21 +0000

I live in Michigan and he lives in Florida. We are engaged to be married in December. I have known him for years but have only seen him on 4 occasions since we have been "together". Being in a long distance relationship is extremley hard. I am crazy in love with him and I try to make him feel special by sending letters and cards, and I text him alot of "just beacuse" texts and pics and stuff.For christmas I made him a very sentimental scrapbook of our relationship and poems.
My problem is is he doesnt do these things for me barely at all. I have actually cried to him about it because it hurts my feelings that he doesnt write letters or text me without ME INITIATING.
I feel like the chaser.
I have told him how an email just "everynow and then" or a card, letter, or even a text that simply says "Thinking about you baby" would mean alot to me but he still wont to do it.
What hurts me most is the fact that I told him how important it is to me. He says that isnt him and he doesnt have the time, and that he is fine with just knowing aI love him and that it should be the same way for me. In my opinion if Im going to be his wife he should want to make me happy even if that means taking five minutes to stop at walgreens and sign his name to a card. I have been with him 9 months and I have gotten one email and one card that was late for valentines day and it was not a love card at all but a humor one.
He has texted me like only a couple times literally in 9 months without me texting him first.
I can see if we seen each other all the time, but we are states apart and to ME these things are more important when thats the only way of communication we have besides the phone.
We do find time to talk about an hour or so a day. But I just crave more of his attention and Im really not asking for much. I mean really how long does it take to text "I miss u" or something?
He claims "I dont text".
well in my mind I hate ironing. But when we live together IAM GONNA IRON his clothes. because I want to make him happy, and do that so he looks nice for work. I dont have to, and I dont really like doing it, but its not always about what I FEEL LIKE doing. Its about wanting to please your partner.

Im really upset and hurt. I just feel like what I tell him I crave from him should matter to him. Im not asking him to send me a letter everyday even one every other month would mean something to me. Right now I dont have anything I can put in a box from him.
So what is his line of thinking? Advice?

i get the feeling that men dont attach themselves much to their wife or gf unless they have a regular physical life with them and so are not thinking of giving out those little mementos or affectionate words you seek. he doesnt have that kind of connection to you except that you belong to him and he wouldnt want you to stop doing what you do for him. and if you stopped, there would probably be no relationship at all in your case. but, if you need more from him while youre long distance it probably wont happen. as one answerer said, you could try talking to him and hope things will improve.

Scrapbookers, looking for technique on using stamps?

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:01:14 +0000

I recently rec’d a dozen stamps from my aunt who has moved on to something different. I have never incorporated stamping in my scrapbooking. Looking for any tips/techniques. Thanks!

I have used them to create a background on solid color cardstock.
For scrapbooking I like to emboss the image, it seems to show up better.
Try you public library. Mine has several books on stamping, scrapbooking and paper crafts. don’t forget to check the magazine section. You should be able to check out old issues
