Just bought the skeletal remain album and it came with three 10x10 cm (that's 4 or 5 inches) stickers, one is on my laptop but puting the others on it will take away the whole place on my laptop and I don't want it to be filled with only skeletal remain.
What else can I do with them?

I wanted to say something sarcastic but fuck it, here are some real suggestions:

- Do you have speakers that you listen to music on? Slap those bad boys on your speakers!

- Do you have some kind of storage you keep your CDs, tapes, and LPs in? Slap those bad boys on your media storage!

- Do you have any friends who dig Skeletal Remains? Slap those bad boys into the hands of those other bad boys!

I've amassed a nice little sticker collection myself and ended up taking some of my favorites and framing them in my home office next to my music collection. I used small pieces of double-sided tape on their backs to keep them in place. That way if I do ever want to stick them somewhere later, I can. I apologize for the poor picture, but it actually looks quite nice on the wall:

Not too shabby, but doesn't hold a candle to the urn placed on the CD shelf.

Worst case scenario, do what I do with leftover patches: put them in a large pencil box and save them for later.

I have a few boxes of 45s and I slap them on there.

Which doesn't hold a candle to the mountain goat on the picture frame.

That is indeed one majestic-looking creature.

LOL. I'm sad to say that the "urn" is just a flower vase with no flowers in it... I must've slept through my home decor class or something. But I'm glad y'all like the goat. That little fella is pretty cool and came all the way from Hungary when my wife and I toured some spectacular caves there with her dad. The goat, however, doesn't hold a candle to this hand-carved wooden boar we got in Slovakia (where my wife is originally from). I should get a picture of that guy...

That reminds me of what I did with my old Metal shirts. I gave them to my mom to turn them into a blanket. It's pretty rad. It also covers a queen sized mattress.

Took her five years to make it, but in the end, it was worth it. I have other shirts I've retired that I want to put on there.

Wow that is a fantastic idea; I love it! Got any pictures?

Quilting is a pretty popular pasttime up here in northern Idaho. (We had our first child a couple months ago and she's been given multiple blankets and quilts from people from our church we don't even know - maybe I can convince one of those church ladies to quilt me a metal blanket too hahaha.)

Boy howdy, I have not touched PhotoBucket in ages. Finally found my login, so here's the quilt:

It's funny that you mention that quilting is a popular past time in northern Idaho. My mom cobbled this together for me, and she's originally fromwest-central Idaho (Payette), but we have a bunch of relatives still in the northern reaches. The blanket is really heavy, and I have about as many more shirts I'd like to chop up to add to it in a more patch-work manner.

My girlfriend has 2 sewing machines and 3 sewing machine tables, so maybe we can do it when one of those is set up.

That looks fantastic! LOL "the blanket is really heavy." Of course it is; it's not a soft rock blanket after all haha. I was imagining a more patchwork layout when you mentioned the blanket and think that'd probably even further improve it were you to go with your plan. If/when you do, be sure to post more pictures!

We moved to Idaho from Santa Cruz, California this past spring and while we miss the ocean a bit, we LOVE it here. Idaho is a good place. People here really appreciate their freedoms which I like a lot, and it's absolutely beautiful here with all the mountains, trees, and lakes. We're up in Hayden (near Coeur d'Alene) which is only about 100 miles south of Canada.

Yeah, it's less patchwork than I had originally pictured when she started making it, but I really can't complain. I wish I had retired more shirts at the time! I have a lot of leftovers from my youth where for some reason I kept getting Large or XL sized shirts for my medium-sized frame. I need to add OverKill, Bathory, Amon Amarth, and Hypocrisy to it at least.

Idaho really is beautiful, though. I'm hoping to make it out there next year for a family reunion. But we'll probably just be driving through on the way to Oregon.
