Ok, I can't wait any longer.....

Remember last Sunday when I told you my bunny box inspired something totally different? Well here is how it happened. I put together my bunny box and like a proud kid showed it off to my hubby. We were getting ready to go to a birthday party at my Upline's house and I was taking it with me. As he looked at the shape of the mini milk carton he said.....wow, I bet you could turn that into a tank or something. I laughed it off, but my wheels were turning. I had no idea how to make a milk carton into a tank, but I knew my upline did. Later that night at the birthday party, while the men were all rocking out to Rock Band, I got Sara working on this challenge. She didn't come up with a tank, but she was able to put together a Stryker! For those of you who have no idea what a Stryker is, I've attached this picture. It is basically similar to a tank, but instead of treads, it has several wheels. Here in Grafenwoehr, Germany, that is what several of our units drive. Anyway, I think she did a great job! She also spoils me a little....so not only did she create a Stryker for me, she also put together a quick tutorial. If you are interested in the tutorial leave me a comment with your email address and I'll be happy to send it to you. Thanks again Sara!!!! You Rock!
