Alright, so I have a girlfriend who is turning 17 years old. We’ve been going out for about a year and 4 months now. Her birthday’s coming up, it’s on august 16th. I’ve already got her birthday presents, but usually whenever there’s a special occasion like this, we make something for each other. For example, for our one year anniversary, my girlfriend made me a scrapbook filled with pictures of all our favorite memories. I was thinking I’d like to do something like that for her, except it has to be different… I can’t seem to think of anything. If you guys could come up with some ideas and help me out, I’d be really grateful. You’d be doing me a HUGE favor, so please, if you would, give me some ideas. Thanks so much,

~ Jasper Bishop.

Aww so sweet lol. umm well you could get a favorite picture of you to and frame it..sweet n simple.

make a picnic with all her fav foods and take her to a near by forest hold her hand till the sun goes down. tell her you love her kiss her till your out of breath. take her in your arms and say you wont let go….woah sorrry i was in my own little vortex of a sweet time! lol i hope this helps.

i know if i had a special pillow or something like that i would sleep with it everynight to remember her:)

Ok, so v-day happens to be me and my girlfriends one year mark.

I been debating on getting this custom blanket with pictures of all the pictures we took together but i really hated the quality of the blanket and wouldn’t want to give her something that seemed cheap.

Then I was looking at diamond earings (diamond jewelry to be exact) and i found a 1/2 carrot diamond earing for less than $400 that seemd to be a really good deal.

Those were my two gifts that i was planning on getting my girlfriend, but the thing is that I really don’t know what would seem a better gift. I been thinking of making a scrapbook along with a present to show some sentimentalism, but I just don’t know what would be a proper gift on this occasion.

Any help would be appreciated, just nothing about sex please.

sentimental.
she can get dimond earings anytime, even if they aren’t real! . you can get them for like $10 at claire’s and live with them, but a scrapbook would mean a lot more and be really cute(:
that’s adorable:D

good luck!
help with mine?

My high school sweet heart of all 4 years of high school proposed (I was 17), I said yes. I look back now, and obviously I think to myself that I was way too young. We ended up breaking up at the beggining of my senior year, I decided that I was going to school out of the city, he decided he didn’t want to attend college, obviously we wanted VERY different things out of life.

The same year I met and started dating a guy who was 5 years older than me. I ended up getting very homesick and moved back to Phoenix. My mom did not want me to date the older guy so he asked me to move in with him. We were only together at the time for a couple of months. After living together for 6 months (a very disfunctional realtionship) he proposed, I said yes. We had a date set and everything. He became violent on more than one occasion… he hurt my mom’s dog while we were house sitting and I decided that was it….. to hurt a defenseless creature was beyong my comprehension. I broke up with him moved back in with my mom. I tried to stay happy single and figure out what I wanted.

Then BAM, I met a marine stationed at Camp Pendleton 6 months later. We casually dated for a few months, then I was his girlfriend, and now 8 months later he’s asking me to marry him. I’m not taking it too seriously, there’s no ring on my finger.

Is there something wrong with me? Am I sending out a signal that says MARRY ME or something? I work at an elementary school (I"m going to ASU for my BA in education), my friends, family and coworkers would all describe me as caring, nurturing, and cute. I like to cook and bake and scrapbook. I love kids. I’ve always been able to see myself getting married young, but I’m afraid that people just won’t take my relationships seriously anymore….

Premarriage counseling should be in your future, no matter who the guy is. There is nothing wrong with putting in a little time in a marriage. You’re still young…enjoy life!

And are you prepared to be a MILITARY WIFE??? Its not easy. I am a Navy wife, and its not always easy. So think about that too.

I couldn’t even begin to guess how many pictures I must have on my camera.. They’re mostly of all of my friends just being your average, silly teenagers having fun. Do you think it’s weird to like taking pictures of everything I do? I scrapbook a lot, but ink is expensive, so lately my pictures have just been stuck on my computer. Of course I print special occasion pictures, but with my friends I now find myself taking pictures of us just for the fun of it. Is this weird? Should I leave my camera at home when we hang out & just care about having fun with my friends.. and not worry about having pictures of everything? Or is it ok to take so many pictures? Kinda weird question, so thanks a ton if you answer! Oh, and ps ~ I have sooo many pictures of all of my friends, but none really of my family? I love them, but we just don’t hang out that much. Should I feel badly about this?

"Oh, and ps ~ I have sooo many pictures of all of my friends, but none really of my family? I love them, but we just don’t hang out that much. Should I feel badly about this?"

Until you have children then taking photos of your friends more then your family is totally normal. I’m sure your parents don’t bounce off beds and have "pillow fights" (examples) so naturally you want to photograph interesting and fun matter so i don’t see anything wrong with that at all. I took photos of everyone and everything growing up and the thought that it may appear "weird" to others never crossed my mind. I’m pretty sure singers just sing all the time and it’s not weird, it’s just what they love to do so continue with your passion and who really cares what others think, this is your life:)

BTW why don’t you create a group on yahoo for you and your friends and have a virtual scrapbook for everyone to share and post memories:)

I dream of being a bother to two beautifully girls (one 2 yrs older then the other,a redhead and a brunette) and i want to live in PEI (prince edward island, canada) I want a perfect Classical house with a lovely garden which would Always be blooming and cherry trees blossoming!
I wish that I cold be a perfect wife and perfect mother, to bake everyday and have everything just…PERFECT!
I have my whole life planned out, 5 full scrapbooks of dream houses and weddings and gardens and dinners and color Shem’s and table toppings for different occasions and etiquette lessons and perfect classical songs and the best things to enroll your children in and all that!
Not, i’m 16 and i’ve been dreaming about this kind of life since i was 9. I practice baking cupcakes and chocolate-chip cookies just so that I would get it right, i even prepare the family christmas dinner on my own just for the practice. and decorate the apartment matching pastel colors and all that.
but that’s my dream!
I even know who i’m going to marry. what do you think?

most likely you will achieve close to what you dream of. you have a goal, and you are working towards it. make sure you are the type of person who would be a good wife to a man that would provide for you; or make sure you are willing to get the education and career you need to accomplish your dreams.

sometimes you have to compromise, but dreams are not bad, they can come true, but sometimes you have to work hard for them.

but not everything is going to be "perfect"; so expect some compromises with the people in your life, children and husband have their own personalities that may not fall in line with your own priorities; make sure you let them be themselves. martha stewart shows perfect parties and perfect decor, but her life is not perfect regarding her family and so forth. but she did achieve a certain level of "perfect".

add being a good wife and mom to your list.

Have you ever wanted to make something out of scratch for someone instead of wasting money and that shows value? Why not make a simple 5×7 scrapbook with your favorite pictures of that special someone for a special occasion. The only things required for this project is time, patience, love, and items from your nearest scrap booking store.
First things first, gather all your materials which include a 5×7 scrapbook (any size is fine), decorative items and paper, glue stick, pictures, scissors or cutting board and a quite relaxing place to build your book.. All these items will help you create a cute, full of love scrapbook that the receiver will love.
After gathering the items needed, choose one decorative paper to create the front page. Then a picture of you and the person whom is receiving this book. One thing I love to do when creating a scrapbook is recording the date from which this book which made, so that in 10 to 20 years looking at this book you will remember.

tyvm!!

Sentence 1. Move "and shows value" to after "someone".
Sentence 2. Needs ? at end.
Sentence 3. "scrap-booking" takes a hyphen.
Para. 2. I’d skip the "any size is fine". If any size IS fine, why start talking about a 5×7?
Para 3, sent 2 is sent fragment.
Sent 3. Too many gerands; change to "is to record the date the book was completed."
Sent 3. I suggest ending this at "made". You are shifting person.
Rest of sentence. "If you do this, in 10 or 20 years, you will fondly remember the occasion and the special someone."

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.

This Friday, October 2, 2009, is mine and my boyfriend’s 1 year anniversary. I want to start a scrapbook of "us" and update it with him yearly, but I also want to make him dinner. I’ve done the normal steak and potatoes and vegetable multiple times for special occasions. Does anyone have any good recipes for this type of occasion that don’t require a ton of money? I’d like to do an appetizer, like a salad or something, main course, and some kind of desert. Nothing too complicated or expensive. Thanks in advance for all the help!

I made vegetarian chili for my boyfriend on one of our first dates, and look who’s still here two years later…but I know you want to do something a little fancier. For your main course, roast a chicken. It’s delicious and so incredibly easy, plus it looks beautiful on the table. You’d just need a little one, or even two cornish hens if you want to be extra-fancy. Remove the giblets from your bird(s) then rinse them inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. rub under the skin of the breast and all over the outside of the bird(s) with room-temperature butter. Use a knife to gently separate the skin from the breast if it’s being stubborn. Season inside and out with salt, pepper, and a little poultry seasoning. Stuff the cavity with chunks of lemon and onion to keep the bird(s) moist while cooking. Put them on a rack in a roasting pan and cook them at 350F about 20 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature hits 165F. Pull out the poultry and let it rest on a plate. Add new potatoes (or any other small variety) to the drippings in the pan, pop in a couple smashed cloves of garlic, and put it back into the oven for another 30 minutes or so until the potatoes are done. Serve it together on a big platter you can both take from, or one cornish hen each on a plate with the potatoes.

You really don’t need an appetizer, but hummus and pita chips is delicious and quick, and you can choose to either buy or make the hummus.

For dessert, make something that he really likes. My boyfriend is a peanut butter fiend, so I’d make peanut butter pie. Does he like chocolate? Make brownies. You want to be able to enjoy the evening, too so don’t kill yourself doing something overcomplicated! Go for the easy and simple things that you know will come out well. He doesn’t have to know that it wasn’t a lot of work!
