Made it home about an hour ago. A long drive but worth it!

Took some bad pictures - I have to find a good place and rest my phone. I will try to get better photos for the next ones. I need basilisks in the desert to sneak up on my players -thus the color patterns. I finished the bookkeeper also, but I have no clue where he is hiding - he might have been put away while I was gathering stuff for ReaperCon. Or got vacuumed. Or went into the black hole that swallowed Mal'Drakar when I moved and now apparently my photo light box.

Mine are still in the box they arrived in - I am swamped at work and swamped by Bones - no time or place to put them right now.

I'm in and will be there Wed through Sun.

I didn't ever find any notification but it arrived so I am happy!

I didn't get any notification. It just arrived via Fed Ex. I only know that because of the label - it was sitting in front of my door when I took my dogs for a walk.

I'm in Virginia and it came day before yesterday.

I had a lot of conference calls this week so I was able to do some assembling - I am on my second bottle of gorilla glue. The pile next to my desk seems undiminished. I still have the majority of the core set and a big bag from the various expansions. Sadly, I have to do actual work today and my assembly has come to a temporary halt. The weekend will be dedicated to organizing I think and hopefully painting. I have started base coating the Reaper and have some ideas for the stag. And I just got a box of MORE stuff from Dungeons and Lasers - buried in plastic.

I think we had decided to start with Death and/or the Celestial Stag for our first figures. Which of the two dudes with scythes is Death? The one holding an hourglass or the one swinging the scythe? To be safe I am prepping both. My shelves of shame are now officially a room of shame. I think I will be bring several large totes to ReaperCon just so that I can use every spare minute to get painting done.

I got my notification!! Wave 2 finally! 59 pounds in 2 boxes.

I have no restraint. I expect to be able to use my box as additional living space - a guest room perhaps

Those choices work for me. Even though I am in the 2nd wave, I expect to be delayed until the final containers arrive. I am happy to say that I almost have my hobby room set up and can paint again. I also got some quick painting in on Saturday in a hotel room while waiting for my husband to finish his Spartan race. My move unpacking has gone slowly and mysteriously I have lost one giant five headed dragon that went from the old house, to the car, to the new house and promptly disappeared. How can that beast hide? In a town house? It is a mystery. Unlike most of my stuff, it never went into storage, even though I have gone through both units just in case.

I will be driving from Virginia. Happy to join any caravans coming from the east coast.

My house closes on May 11 and we haved moved most of our stuff that was still in the house. Just have the garage and two sheds to go. My new painting room is in a state of complete disaster but all the paint is unpacked so when Bones 5 arrives I can start - maybe sooner.

I was assigned a huge project at work last week and haven't had a chance to pick up a brush since. I will be painting this weekend for RVE and will hopefully finish something so I can post it. Otherwise, I am afraid I won't be on here much until I get this project on track or at least going smoothly. I hate it when management decides halfway through a project that someone should be in charge. And I am trying to get the house ready to sell and move - good times. At least everything should be done by the time Bones 5 arrives.
