Me too! I'm in Vancouver, and I can buy stuff, it's just that it costs money... I'm looking for something I can make with stuff I already have. Like newspaper. :P

PetervG, I am in canada too, you can order stuff, but it can be costly, try signing up at texas instruments for some free samples of their products. They will send you samples (up to 5 for most products, 10 ofr others) for free (fedex/tracking number included), Iave got 3 orders of free stuff worth well over $100 (not including shipping) :) If you have any more questions leave you're e-mail and I'll get a hold of you :)

looks like some Chinese/ Indian decoration. try using plastic foil (that's what we call that here in the Philippines, but otherwise i think it's also metallic paper or other materials that look like it) instead of newspaper- usually here it's gold, green, red, and blue. looks good during christmas, and if you invert the whole stack, trim the top, and add a base, you could make it look like a small, desktop-type christmas tree. hehe
