Happy Easter, everyone. I couldn’t resist. I’d actually been saving this card for months just for this post. By the way, I sort of begrudgingly admire how well the previous owner of this card was able to match Luke’s skin tone to cover up that paper loss at the bottom. Well done, sir. Hopefully you […]

I was hoping to finish this series of posts up before I went on that mini-hiatus for the birth of my daughter, but I didn’t quite make it. Just to refresh your memory, since it’s been a spell, a while back I had spent about what I would’ve on a modern day blaster box at […]
