The Lego Project

Did you think I had forgotten the blog? Not a chance! I just got swamped with work and holiday happenings. Now, I'm back and raring to go!!

Of course, I had to go buy a little digital camera, in order to share pictures of life at Stampeaz. I finally took the time to sit down and read a little about what the camera can do. So, what is this photo and why did I take it? This is what my sister dubbed "The Lego Project". I use recycled materials almost exclusively when packaging orders (the main exception being the USPS boxes and envelopes, themselves). A good friend who installs computer hardware and systems for the state of Missouri saved the packaging for a major printer upgrade and brought it by for me to recycle. We just took it out of his car and tossed it into the garage, since it was cold, and it sat there in a huge jumble, taking up most of one side of the garage.

While my sister was visiting, she got up one morning and started stacking. The pieces fit together amazingly well and stack all the way to the garage ceiling with surprising stability! When the second installment was dropped off, I immediately added to the "Lego" pile and the resulting tower just made me grin. It seemed like an appropriately silly way to start blogging again and really does provide an accurate window into the workings of Stampeaz! I wonder how long it will take me to use this!! Stay tuned...

Nice to see you back at it! The picture is perfect in many ways. It would make a great AQ calender submission for the funny calendar. I can think of quite a few captions! Lol!

Thanks for the welcome back! :) You have a good point! It also occurs to me that it might be a perfect spot to hide a box! Just be careful not to topple the tower when retrieving it! LOL!

Yeah! Glad to see you blogging. I was, indeed, beginning to wonder what had happened to it! =)
