Hi all

I got my kobo a few weeks ago and I LOVE it. It’s changed my reading habits for the better (I used to be an avid reader but lost the ability during the pandemic). I treated myself to the page turner and was wondering if anyone had seen any cases that have space for the Clara and the page turner please? I am definitely going to lose it if I’m not careful. Google did not help me, so I’m sharing my plea here!

Thanks!

Hi all

My partner’s birthday is coming up and I’m working on a gift for him. I’ve bought a leather kobo case and I’d like to paint the traditional anarchy symbol on it in gold (Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook for those who know!). I’m thinking of using gold leaf and painting on an adhesive. Is this the best way to do it? I’d have liked to use a stamp but I can’t afford to buy all the stuff 😅

I’d love to hear from people who’ve done something similar and had success! Alternatively, is there a better way to get this symbol onto the case?

Thanks!

Hi all

I (41F) have been with my partner (41M) for nearly 5 years. We introduced the kids very carefully about 2.5 years ago - he has one child and I have two girls (9F and 12F). Mine are very close and whilst they aren’t *excited* to hang out with him and his daughter, they adore him and do care about his child (when we are apart they see things she would like and comment about how we should show/tell her, when her pet was recently PTS they were worried about how she would be).

His daughter is apparently always excited to see us (she is desperate for siblings and play dates, though I always tell him spending time with us is not a play date) but has expressed on a couple of occasions that she feels left out and doesn’t want to see them anymore. As previously mentioned, my two are very close and don’t necessarily need another sibling, but I want everyone to feel cared for and valued. Occasionally the three of them will bicker like siblings, but my partner isn’t used to this because his daughter is an only child so I think it concerns him.

We have dinner every week and see eachother once every other weekend, which means opportunities to grow closer are relatively limited so I’m looking for ideas from you about things that have worked when bringing children from two families together. One day I’d love to live with my partner, but he’s hesitant whilst his daughter is still expressing concerns.

Any tips or tricks for ways to encourage more familiarity and closeness would be really welcomed! Thanks in advance :)
