Ludicrously Excessive Packaging...

Tonight, at 8pm, UPS Guy knocked at my door and proffered this box...(with scissors to show scale...)

After taking a hacksaw, blow torch and three pairs of box cutters to the outside and pulling out five miles of tissue:

ONE WEE GLUE STICK!!

Comment by Jen Staggs on January 17, 2011 at 5:43am: Oooh! Yay! Thank you Erni- my knight in shining UHU.

Comment by Jen Staggs on January 17, 2011 at 12:57am: Rrrrr....glue stick is letting me down. Had pieces peeling up as if I'd used no glue at all... Maybe UHU is better in liquid form.

Comment by Marie Wintzer on January 16, 2011 at 10:57pm: Looking forward to you very first collage with UHU. Your life will never be the same anymore, you'll see.

Comment by Jen Staggs on January 6, 2011 at 6:03pm: And "This Side Up" was my other favorite warning.

Comment by My Life As A Collage on January 6, 2011 at 3:44pm: LOL!!! thank goodness it arrived safely! i've seen kindeys transported with less packaging....

(oh, and the irony of the "please recycle" on the packing is not lost on me.)

Comment by Austin Wills James on January 6, 2011 at 7:32am: That just seems like a cruel joke on the sender's part, or something I'd do.

Comment by Jen Staggs on January 6, 2011 at 6:11am: Oof, that tube of UHU looks like it could get me in trouble. I have a tendency to glue my shirt to the desk or my hair to the lamp when I use liquid glue.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 5, 2011 at 11:02am: XL UHU very large size needed for those "26" boekies! Lots and lots of sandpaper there ;-)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 5, 2011 at 10:45am: That is a TREASURE, Jen! Use it well and often...the rest of the world sticks with UHU ;-)

Comment by cheryl penn on January 5, 2011 at 6:09am: Jen - that is VERY funny - underimpressed/underwhelmed - wise man your husband!
