My Aunt Ellen sent each of our family here in LA a box of fine chocolate for Christmas. The box's delicate bows had fairly heavy duty tubes around them to protect in shipping. My Mom passes me the one from hers saying...
"I'm sure you'd want this to make something with?"
Before I could answer, the rest of the family starts passing me their tubes. Thank you Aunt Ellen and everyone...you shouldn't have.
Good time for an Airplane quote:

"I can make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl..."
Ha ha! My family is the same way with me! I love making new and exciting things out of scrap cardboard, foam, tubes, plastic, and whatever I can get my hands on. I even took apart an old keyboard last night to see if I could use the circuit diagrams (printed on thin, clear plastic) in a future art piece. It's just plain funny!

I know the feeling, only my family tends to go the "quick, throw it out before he gets any ideas" route ;)
