IN OTHER NEWS, dear @sunravelme, I recall and very much appreciate your interest in the B&TB props I'm working on.

I have been too busy actually working on the props to write about them, but I haven't forgotten that intention. When the rush is over, I hope to write several descriptive articles. I will certainly let you know when that happens! ;)

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
