Thanks again! Paul, I should have had him take off his hat..he's bald and it really would have looked like an antenna! The lamps were metal. The website is www.desertsteel.net. A little pricey, so it looks like I will be saving up for a while! Ryan, we did. We weren't coming from WI only to miss it! Nothing is allowed on it....just you and your shoe protector slipper thingies....they don't want you dropping anything that might scratch the glass. THEY will gladly take your picture, which, if not included in your package, will cost you roughly $30! We passed. I took pictures of it from the side and I have other souvenirs and my memories. I still would recommend it though! Nancy

Thanks, Everyone. Its such fun to share with all of you! Jeanne, afraid the phone has to stay there, LOL. Don't worry about bunny falling off tho, he's held on tight with sticky stuff. Tho I'll be removing him soon since he's not exactly Fall or Christmas looking. And those witch boots definitely AREN'T made for walking... LOL. They are resin or ceramic, and together as one piece. I don't know what's going on with my photos tonight. I resized everything properly in Photobucket, but only some of the pictures came out right in my posts. Weird. Anyway, sorry for the BIG ones as I know its tough on the dial-up folks. Looking at the turkey candle-holder, I'm think I need to do a bit of cosmetic work on his eyes. He looks pretty mad to me. The big turkey is resin, but sure looks like wood which I like a lot. Pheasant too. Their painting has a "grain" look to it like wood. OA, the orange balls sound neat to decorate with. I've not seen any either. Tho I didn't look in that area of Hobby Lobby yesterday. I made myself stay away from Christmas ornaments this time. LOL. hugs, Karen

What a pain in neck that officious woman was! Who cares if you wasted your money--11 cents, times 66? Wow, you really broke the bank there, you wasteful person you. You weren't asking for the money BACK, after all. Geez! It's not her business! As long as you have ENOUGH postage, who cares? Certainly not you. Maybe she thought you didn't know (even though you know you *did* know). But still, what were you gonna do--peel them all off, and put new ones on? And geez, they hand-cancel BOXES. Because, y'know, they won't fit through the machine. I don't understand why they couldn't hand-cancel envelopes here and there. Maybe they'd have to charge you Priority Mail rates. But they accept oversize envelopes, too--with more postage, which you paid. No, wait--they have a "Non machinable rate" RIGHT ON THEIR WEBSITE--and if it's "nonmachinable," then how ELSE do they do it, if not by hand. By chicken? Note the bold--that seems to cover your sealing wax! *** First-Class Mail is used for personal and business correspondence. Any mailable item may be sent as First-Class Mail. It includes postcards, letters, large envelopes, and small packages. The maximum weight is 13 ounces. Pieces over 13 ounces can be sent as Priority Mail. The minimum size for First-Class Mail is 5 inches long, 3-1/2 inches high, and 0.007 inch thick. Pieces weighing 1 ounce or less may be subject to the nonmachinable surcharge. Nonmachinable Surcharge: An additional $0.12 is required for items weighing 1 ounce or less with any of the following criteria: a. Square letters. b. The height exceeds 6-1/8 inches, or length exceeds 11-1/2 inches, or thickness exceeds 1/4 inch. c. The length divided by height is less than 1.3 or more than 2.5 (length is the dimension parallel to the address). d. It has clasps, strings, buttons, or similar closure devices. e. It is too rigid or contains items such as pens that cause the thickness of the mailpiece to be uneven. f. It has an address parallel to the shorter dimension of the mailpiece. ***** OK, the "nonmachinable" is for items weighing 1 ounce or less; but normally there's NO surcharge for 1 ounce or less. For larger items, you're already paying a surcharge because of the size, and that ought to cover the "nonmachinable" idea. I'm sorry it was such a pain for you. Officious post-office women can be a real pill. And I just shake my head over people who spend more time scolding you that you can't or shouldn't do something, that it would have taken to just DO it.
