Wow!  I didn't realize Colorado Springs was that conservative.  It really seems kind of silly.

Loved the video!  Great job. It has a very professional look, as do all your videos. 

Congratulations! Can't wait to see the pictures of you your new space once you can get the boxes cleaned out.

I think you are speaking of a Google Search: Humanette puppet. Yes that is a type of puppet so you are asking the question in the correct place.

Great job!  That is some heavy duty rick-a-rack!

That is very cool!  You'll have to make sure and take pictures of the new library set up when it is done so we can see it!

That is pretty cute.  Very clever. I love alliteration and play on words.

Just as a side note from something Dr. Puppet mentioned earlier.  Schrock's International was the company he mentioned and that he got eyes from Darice that is a whole seller. Check the results at google, they may lead to a retailer. Worth a try. Google Search: Schrock's International
