    :clap: Congats, John!

    I agree. Hitting the local potpourri store takes guts.
    -Kinda like walking into a Build-A-Bear, and asking if they sell only the heads.

    You coundn't steal it. You sick again! Come around here and Marilyn open a can of whoop-ass on you. Well, at least wait until she gets over the bronchitis.
    Never knew one human being could use so many tissues in a 24 hr. period.

    Actually you two could share broke down lung stories and I could get a rest.

    I'm afraid to ask if there's a story here. People already worry about some of you guys!

    WOW I like how this thing looks :) The only part I hate about it is that it's Micro Tower... Just don't like them... ))) But I still like the outcome though :p

    Men have a sanctuary at Michaels. The plastic model kit aisle, but Michael is Evil. He deliberately marks up the prices on these kits to torture us. You can only stand there hoping your wife doesn't get swept up into a "craft attack" vortex and forget about you.

    When you finally get the OK to leave, there is 20 customers and 2 cashiers. Your heart sinks, you remember that Crafters buy in bulk. The Cashiers count every item before hitting their multiplier. *sigh

    Ok, lets see what you have... 25x various floral stems, 35x Xmas stencils, "Oh, those are nice!" 8x bottles of sparkly glitter, "Oh, I like the Martha Stewart brand" 16x orange and black pipe cleaners, "Whatcha doing with these?" 15x thanksgiving theme stamps, "Ohh, these are wonderful" 200x various beads for Brownies troop, "Oh, this will be fun!" 5x paper punches.... (better stop before you think I buy this stuff)

    Worst of all, our Cashier was in training! :wallbash: I think her name was "Hunt & Peck"


    If anyone missed the video link, here it is again, Watch "Project NOTalis: The Case Mod Movie" in HD


    That sounds like a plan John!

    Hobby Lobby is not quite so bad. More checkers but same stuff. You forgot the part about 'the containers'! "what am I going to put all this in?"

    I actually have spent some quality time in the model kit aisles too.

    Was that directed at Mankz?

    @Bill - You didn't get stuck behind exact change lady? I'm shocked. Our local hobby shops don't even try to stock plastic model gear anymore. -Just some low-quality child-skill models.

    She was behind us, thankfully!

    If you're ever up here, remind me to bring you to Hub Hobby. Living in the frozen tundra makes model building, R/C, slot racing or model railroading almost MANdatory. If Hub Hobby doesn't have it, then it's not being made. They even got re-issued model car kits from the 60s! I wish I would have remembered to bring E.E.L. there!

    He doesn't use tissues. How do you think his wall of flesh was built?
