Those are nice pieces, and I wish I'd started mine about 10 years ago. <br /><br />To me, too many others are working them, so the novelty starts to wear off. I like to work eclectic pieces, such as the Team Canada goalie mask, the American-born goalie stick or the Slovakian team jersey.Puckhoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957524025024642361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109555934761447441.post-78769362922181825862009-04-30T23:30:00.000-04:002009-04-30T23:30:00.000-04:00Wow.

Once you factor in the prep work -- for hounding and blogging -- it's like a second job.<br /><br />When it comes to content, it's all a matter of effort.
