DOORS AND WINDOWS ARE BACK!

A year ago "Papa" Ted told me he was running out of stock on doors and windows. I started creating my own graphics, not knowing that what he really meant was that he was too sick to take any more orders and didn't want everybody to know how bad he felt.

So during the recent gap in availability, I was e-mailing my version of the graphics to folks who needed them and getting them ready to post for download on the resources page. And just when I thought it was safe to post, I got several more from Brian Bloodgood, who Ted had asked to recreate some of the graphics he had been selling (I have no idea why, but that was Ted, who liked to have backups for his backups).

So as soon as I had Brian's and my graphics ready (again) to post, I "got the skinny" on Ted's original inventory, which, thanks to a lot of kind people, Pete now has access to.

So I've been helping Pete list Ted's original inventory on his pages, in a format that's a lot easier to navigate (I think). At the same time I've had a test page up on the CardboardChristmas.com Resource page, and folks have been giving me feedback on those images.

So if you go to Pete's CardboardPutzHouses.com, you'll see Cellophane, Printed, and Stickon windows in his "navigation bar." And all three pages link to an order page you can print out and fill out to make ordering easier. Coconut is still there, in case you wonder.

Also, if you go the CardboardChristmas.com main page and click Resources, you'll see a link to our own page, where Brians' and my graphics are available for download. To get the best effect, you need a color laser and acid-free paper, but there's a link to Pete's page from that site, if you feel overwhelmed.

In other words, the WINDOWS AND DOORS ARE BACK!

Here's something you don't see every day. Rubber-stamped doors and windows on very tiny, very clearly labeled Japanese putzes.

Sorry, after slaving over my graphics for countless hours, I couldn't resist.

Tom, I'm afraid that sticking lights in these would be a waste of time. :-)
