when you can't find frames the right size...

[orangerful]

You make lemonade! No wait, I mean, you stylishly cram the pictures into one large poster frame:

We will have officially been moved into this house for a year a week from today so I'm getting this whole "OMG WE HAVE DONE NOTHING!" loop in my brain, trying to hang pictures, tidy up the yard, etc. I mean, wtf, how did this bag of clothes sit here for a YEAR and never go to Goodwill? I suck.

Oh, if you are on imzy, I made a little personal blog there. Not sure how much I will use it compared to here, but if you are there, feel free to join/follow: https://www.imzy.com/orangerful

Also, if you are not on Imzy and still need an invite, I think I have 5 more? Let me know.

And now, to bed! We have friends coming over tomorrow so I should wake up at a decent hour!

toodles.

That's like me and my autographed pics of Amy and Captain Jack from Doctor Who. I need to find proper frames ><

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

For some reason, the popular poster size is this awkward 11x14 or 11x17 size and NO ONE has those frames in stock. I managed to grab 2 last time I was at Michaels but that was the last of them.

Oooh that reminds me, I do have some autographed pictures in a box somewhere too...

Find those frames! Michaels (our local arts/crafts/frame store) is always having BOGO sales, I'm sure your local store probably has them too. :) Just gotta go in there! Make it a mission! Show off those pretties!

[girlwhowaited.livejournal.com]

The Michaels is still being built so no chance there. Otherwise my only options are Wal-Mart and the dollar store :/

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Great idea with the posters and frame. I might have to do similar. I've been wanting some posters framed for ages, but can't find frames that are the right size.

Followed on imzy. I'm manders9x over there. (I also have 3 invites left, if you happen to use up all yours and there are still people wanting them.)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I went through my posters last night and realized they are all either really small or HUGE! And I do not have frames that work for any of them. BLURGH!

Hm...Imzy needs a way to friend people even if they don't have their personal blogs set up yet.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Such a shame. They really need to have some kind of standard size for posters and frames. (Almost all of my posters have completely different sizes.)

That it does. I'll have to look into making a personal blog soon. I'm still deciding what I want to do for it, though. Maybe I'll make two - one that's basically the same as my livejournal, and one for my freelancing/writing and editing?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

You are allowed to make 2 communities during the beta, so that should work, if you didn't have any other grand plans. :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

I thought it was 3? But yeah. Still deciding.. :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

I finally made my imzy comms.

If you suck, I don't want to think about what I am. We had two boxes that got shipped to the UK in 1999 when we moved there, remained unopened until we moved back, then got moved to two different houses until finally getting unpacked in 2013.

*And* we've been living in our current house since 2009 and don't have a single picture on the wall.

So you don't suck. You're a veritable Jesse Owens of moving in compared to me. :)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

LOL okay I don't feel so bad now. A lot of the boxes that are out are Tim's and I don't feel like playing the nag and making him put things away...but it is getting to that point where I'm just going to pile them up on his side of the bedroom until he gets the hint.

[poniesandphotos.livejournal.com]

I still have some boxes lying around too...

Those posters are awesome!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I will always have some boxes, I know this, because I have a lot of figures LOL. But there are some things that I just keep meaning to get to and haven't yet.

Thanks! :D

[erychan86.livejournal.com]

If you need me I can come to the rescue... I'm a packer and an un-packer... Every time I get back from a trip I unpack first, now matter how tired and I always organize stuff and find it the perfect place... I am not normal when it comes to this stuff XD

The posters look GREAT!!!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I had all my action figures up pretty quick, but I wanted to frame some new stuff. :) I need more shelves! And frames! And then I will need more money LOL. :)

Thanks!

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Great framing job!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm really impressed that there isn't a bunch of cat hair stuck to the inside LOL!

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

LOL, glad that didn't happen.

Have fun today - and Happy Labor Day!

*HUGS*

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

You too! **HUGS**

[http://users.livejournal.com/_profiterole_/]

I love whay you did with these posters, it looks really good. :-)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Gotta make do. :) Hopefully I'll find a good frame deal later on and snag some more of the right size. I have SO MANY posters that I would like to display but I'm rapidly running out of wall. :)

[ragnarok-08.livejournal.com]

That looks great :DD

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

Those posters are brilliant!!

Hope you have fun with your friends today.

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it's weirdly hard to find the right size frames! My brother bought some posters and he still can't find the right size frames for a couple of them. Then there's me who just puts tape on the back and puts them on the wall XD Then again, three of my posters are on the back of my door, and there's no way that frames would work there lol.

I followed your imzy blog!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Nicely done.

[vibes.livejournal.com]

I kind of like the way you spaced them out in the frame! It looks cool!

I'd love an invite to this new imzy thing if you have any left to spare! :)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Message me your email and I will hook you up! :)

[koyaaniisqatsi.livejournal.com]

It still looks really good! Stylish, indeed! :D

The BF has been unearthing all sorts of Star Wars goodies from the basement from when he was a kid. 8D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I love going through my old toys, so many memories. :)

[stellicidio.livejournal.com]

The posters look super cool like that!

[geckoholic]

Awesome posters!!

[c-hrista.livejournal.com]

I like how it looks in there!

[secret-woman.livejournal.com]

Creative! I love that idea.

I'm opposite on the house-front. When we move I don't sleep or relax until everything is done. It drives my husband insane. If it were up to him we would only have unpacked what we absolutely needed and everything else would still be in boxes. lol.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

how did this bag of clothes sit here for a YEAR and never go to Goodwill?

For me, it helps putting the bag into my car, so I see it all the time and it annoys me to lose space to it. Makes me go out of my way to drop things off to Goodwill sooner!

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

I feel that! We've been in our place roughly 16 months and I've done so little that I really wanted to do. *headdesk* I knew that would happen!

You're the 5th person I've seen mention imzy - I don't really know what it is but if you still have an invite, can I have one? I'll check it out :)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Message me your email and I will hook you up!

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

Can do!

[tigtogiba34.livejournal.com]

I don't think there is an official timeline persay? But it's the little personal touches such as that that make it feel more your own right?

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

I'm looking at Imzy and trying to figure it out. What's the site most used for?

Love the posters!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

The idea behind Imzy was a site kinda like Reddit but where asshole behavior is prohibited. If you're not being constructive, you're breaking the rules and can be removed. The creators actually came from Reddit but felt that it was too set in its ways to suddenly have community rules. So Imzy is supposed to be a safer place.

Though over the past few weeks, there as been a HUGE influx of people from Tumblr LOL, fandom EVERYWHERE! I guess that site is on its way out!
