Wow, I didn't know anyone else liked Depeche mode but me, lol. I also thought it might be someone from the Matrix

Great idea-I knew they had good scrapbooking stuff there but obviously I need to ckeck out the Christmas stuff!! By the way "mommymakesstuff" don't use carmex-it can cause a sloughing of the lip tissue so use chap stick instead (I am a Pharmacist)

Please don't laugh at me, but I have 3 lights (12V) with plugs that I want to join to the converter so that I don't have to use the strip that accomodates the plugs-what is the electrical component that joins them, or can I simply wire them in strait to the converter??

I have also used a veneer sample in my apothecary as the "compounding tile"

I LOVE the rug!! I'm going to Lowe's tomorrow...

I have to share this really cool project I just finished...I bought this [cheezy] set of battery-operated lamposts that weren't even the right scale, hoping that I could rework them into something useable. The lights were really dim so my hubby bought some LED bulbs and I stripped down the lamposts and soldered on the new bulbs...now I have new lamps for Santa's Workshop! It was such a hoot that he also bought me a breadboard so I can custom-make all of my lights for shops and room boxes!

Hello and welcome to the forum!!

Thanks for the great link!!

Thanks for the great link!!

Thanks Jennifer for the links! It will take me awhile to go through them-but I sure appreciate your work on this!

I have several christmas trees-they come in a multi-pak from Lowe's building center (they are in the aisle with the miniature Christmas villages that light up), and you can buy small strings of battery-operated LED lights at Wal-Mart (I bought 3 of those-LED are just too fun)!! Let me know if you need one-maybe we can have a mini-swap...

Instead of using modeling clay, you could possible use spray paint that is made for plastic (I use it all of the time). Then, use a piece of sea sponge and dab on the grey paint (use at least 2 different shades for realistic look) over the white spray paint (or is it going to be flamingo pink??) lol.

Wow! Thanks for the link-so much easier that making them on the computer-I bookmarked it immediately!!

KC is about 4 hours from here, so no, I don't go there often. But I am working on uploading an album-I am soldering lamps right now with my husband...

I have a mini table saw and scroll saw- but not enough time to play with my toys; so that is what I want for Christmas (actually it may come true- I am moving down from a 60 hour work week to a 40!!)
