Packed and ready to go

On Monday we packed up all our junk in boxes to be shipped to Maryland. Cardboard boxes really are delightful things.
Soon our stuff will be on the road to..... victory? Maybe. A dumpster? Definitely! Oh how joyful an experience it will be to throw that stuff away! Most of it has been a nuisance, a torture, a residing evil in our lives....
Still, in spite of the stubborn stand they take in deliberately not working, those machines have gotten us to Maryland and another Worlds adventure. So we should be grateful, right? And our fellow OMers at competition were impressed with our junk, not to mention the judges. It can be very flattering sometimes.

Still.... I DID get burned several times by the glue gun making my props...

And we DID get papier-mache all over our arms and hands...

And we DID lose function in parts of our hands from using scissors too much...


Let's just say it's a love/hate relationship.
