Great pic of Connie, Jim! I feel the same way as you when I don't get to work on "SOMETHING!" related to papermodeling! I had all the greatest intentions to get another "top" done for Cleo this weekend, too....but alas...the urgent got in the way of the fun! Jim, I know you've probably seen...

Yeah, guys, necessity truly is the mother of invention. I love working with paper and card stock....if it doesn't work out right the first time....wad it up, toss it in the appropriate "circular" file...and try another approach...total cost....one half sheet of paper! So....here's what I've...
