I constructed the toolbox so it's the perfect size to hold a gift card. Tools are silver embossed, cut out, and adhered to the box, front and back. The "for you" Hero Arts sentiment is pop dotted. I also stamped silver tissue paper with tools to line the inside. Thanks for looking! :)

Squads must work together to complete a modified combat fitness test, otherwise known as Mission Boston in honor of the 82nd Airborne Division’s nighttime parachute landing on D-Day in Normandy. This was the final event in the Lambka Challenge, which also included a shuttle run, pull ups, Humvee push, tire flip, low crawl, litter and buddy carry. The Lambka Challenge was the culminating team-building exercise at the end of the first iteration of Cadet Basic Training for the new cadets of the Class of 2017. The challenge, July 19, was named in honor of 1st Lt. Todd Lambka, a Class of 2010 graduate and infantry officer who was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan. The Lambka Challenge was designed by the cadet cadre to test new cadets on their physical and mental development from the past three weeks of CBT on a sprawling course throughout West Point.

This morning, Friday 25 October, saw raids on homes of suspected drug dealers as part of Challenger.
Agencies across Greater Manchester have joined forces to declare war on organised criminal gangs across the region.
This week has seen the launch of Challenger, the largest ever multi-agency response to tackling organised criminal gangs (OCGS) in Manchester's history.
Over the past five days, more than 100 warrants have been carried out by numerous agencies to root out the drug dealers, loan sharks, rogue landlords and counterfeit good suppliers who are the lynchpins of these criminal networks.
The aim of Challenger is to identify every single organised crime group in existence and use all the weapons available to agencies across both Manchester and the UK to disrupt, dismantle and destroy these gangs.
This week alone, more than 50 suspected members of criminal gangs have been arrested for a variety of offences including drugs, firearms and money laundering.
More than £330,000 worth of drugs were recovered, £25,000 in cash seized along with weapons such as high-powered air rifles, a BB gun, a Taser and a baton. Seven high powered cars were also seized.
Up to 50 tonnes worth of counterfeit goods - worth at least £2m - including fake trainers, watches and clothing, were also seized from three properties in the Strangeways area, all of which were stocked to the brim across several different floors with fake goods.
Detective Chief Superintendent Rebekah Sutcliffe, who heads Challenger for Greater Manchester Police, said: "Organised crime groups have a corrosive and insidious effect on our communities. These sorts of people mistakenly believe they 'own their turf' and use violence and intimidation to make people's lives a misery.
"However, this week we have brought the fight to these gangs and through Challenger we are now declaring war on these criminal networks who for too long have been bullying communities and enjoying a lavish lifestyle.
"Challenger is not about cutting off the head of a monster - it is about systematically dismantling these gangs member by member and making it impossible for them to operate. To do that, we need to get into the ribs of these people and hit them where it hurts.
"By working in partnership with so many other agencies, we can attack these gangs from every angle. We can expose benefit scams and leave these people penniless; we can seize their flash motors which are often not insured or taxed; we can shut down nail bars, takeaways and pubs where organised criminals often launder their dirty cash and we stop loan sharks from bullying victims into taking out exorbitant loans which fund their criminality.
"Through this partnership approach, Challenger will unmask every single organised crime group in Manchester and use every available tool to bring them crashing down."
There are currently more than 160 known organised criminal gangs in Greater Manchester, costing the local economy between 850m and 1.7bn each year.
However, it is thought they may be up to 500 of these networks in operation.
Thanks to Challenger, a central taskforce has been set up which will gather intelligence and build up an accurate picture of every single criminal gang in Manchester.
The taskforce will then work with partners from the local community, including neighbourhood policing teams, local authorities, Immigration Enforcement, the England Illegal Money Lending Team, housing providers, the Department for Work and Pensions, the DVLA, HMRC and other agencies to draw up bespoke plans for how best to dismantle these gangs.
In addition to this important local approach, Challenger is also being supported by the Home Office and the National Crime Agency (NCA). Officers from these national agencies are providing regular support and expertise about how best to tackle organised criminality.
But central to the success of Challenger will be the support of the local community and people coming forward with information about criminality in their area.
Detective Chief Superintendent Sutcliffe said: "There may be a misconception among people that organised criminality is all about drugs and guns and that it does not affect their lives. They could not be more wrong.
"Organised criminality is not just about firearms and drug dealing - it is happening on people's doorsteps every day without them realising it.
"The way these gangs fund their criminal empires is through the sale of counterfeit goods, loan sharking, electricity, housing and benefit scams, human trafficking and rogue landlords.
"If you suspect any of this is happening in your community, you need to report it because the endgame of these sorts of offences are the brutal shootings we saw last year that resulted in innocent people being killed.
"But, with your help, we can break this chain. If you don't buy counterfeit goods or turn to loan sharks you are cutting off the funds for these criminals to buy guns and drugs. If you report housing scams you will be making it impossible for these gangs to have bases from which to operate. If you report someone who is driving around in a flash motor you know is not insured, you will be stopping these cars from being used as getaway vehicle during serious crime.
"This is a war we can win with the public's help. We can give communities back to law-abiding people. If you help us to identify the foundations these empires are built on, we will bring them crashing down. And if you wish to report anything anonymously, you can do so by contacting Crimestoppers."
National Crime Agency regional head of investigations, Steve Baldwin, said: "Organised crime deprives people of their security and prosperity, leads to loss of life and costs the UK well over £20billion each year. It directly affects all of our communities. The NCA's role is to lead the UK's fight against organised crime. But to do that we need to work closely with our law enforcement partners like Greater Manchester Police, as we have done in supporting this operation. Together we will use every technique available to relentlessly and continuously disrupt serious organised criminals and make their lives as difficult as possible."
Jim Battle, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner said: "These so-called 'Mr Bigs' think they can control our communities with a grip of fear. But the action taken by police, local councils and other agencies this week sends a clear message to these abhorrent individuals that there is no place for you in our communities - you will be hunted down and you will be brought to justice.
"The fight is ongoing and we can only keep up the pressure on these criminal gangs with the support of our communities across Greater Manchester. I thank the decent, law-abiding people for their continued help and urge you all to stand with us so together we can bring down these criminals and build safer communities."

Originally this Challenger was a "base" model 1970 with a 383...the paint Plum Crazy Purple
By the time my friend bought it no longer was a numbers matching car so he figured what the heck do it up in a way he liked
Sorry it took me a while to get this done. Busy week capped off with a 12-hr day at the office! Don't forget to donate, folks!
As Found on eBay:
This is an amazing opportunity for you to own a nostalgic piece of automobile history!
Dodge marketed this Mitsubishi-built car in the late 70’s and early 80’s as the Challenger. A sister model, the Sapporo was also marketed by Plymouth. These much loved cars have all but disappeared from the face of the planet but this Challenger has survived and never ceases to cause a stir!
The Challenger came very well equipped for the time with a big 2.6 liter 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual transmission, power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, 14-inch radial tires with raised-white letters mounted on alloy-wheels, full instrumentation including a tachometer, tilt steering, intermittent wipers, overhead console with digital clock and pivoting map light and dual power side mirrors just to name a few features. This car is equipped with a MOPAR air conditioning system (not currently working) and a period correct AM/FM cassette stereo.
It is finished in a factory two-tone color scheme of Bright Blue Metallic (B22) and Warm White (W61). The interior on this car is an amazing blast from the past! The blue and white with blue, white and red plaid inserts is completely original and in terrific shape! The color-matched louvers on the side windows were standard but the louvers on the rear window were an aftermarket accessory. The rear louvers lift up for easily window cleaning or can be easily removed for a more stock look. Clearly the car has been loved and well cared for its 34 years.
For its time the Challenger was a unique car not only to look at but also to drive. This Challenger runs and drives terrifically! The engine has good power and the transmission shifts smoothly. It cruises at freeway speeds with no problems. We recently installed a remanufactured carburetor and muffler and tailpipe. It passed California emissions on 6/22/12. I just completed a couple hundred mile trip in the car and it performed very well!
THE GOOD
Clearly this car is a survivor and is one of what must be very, very few Challengers left in original condition. There are just tick over 95,000 miles on the odometer which (based on the car’s condition) are assumed to be correct. Mechanically the car starts, runs, drives and stops well. The interior is an amazing time capsule as you can see from the photos. All the gauges, the radio, the overhead console with clock, the dual power mirrors and intermittent wipers work. The car is like it was back in the 70’s right down to the original Mitsubishi ignition key. The car comes with an owner’s manual and shop manual as well as an original sales brochure. It is ready for you to drive and enjoy.
THE NOT SO GOOD
Though in great condition overall, this car is 34 years old and has a few dings and scratches here and there. There is a small amount of surface rust on the lower rockers of the front fenders which is characteristic of these cars. Though the finish is brilliant, the clear coat on the hood and roof are crazed and a meticulous owner might want to have those parts refinished. There is an aftermarket power antenna installed that does not work. As previously mentioned the air conditioner is not working. There is a chip in the plastic on the driver’s side mirror and one of the vents in the center of the dash is missing. Each seat should have four small plastic trim pieces that is finish trim. Some of these trim pieces have come off (pictured). The original alloy wheels have not been curbed but could stand a good polishing. Sections of the wheels were painted blue by a previous owner and that paint job has not stood the test of time. None of these things listed greatly deter from how nice this car is overall. I simply mention them so you the potential buyer has a good idea of the car’s true condition.

This is one of the cars that took part in the Corse Cliente Trofeo Pirelli race at the Ferrari Racing Days meeting at Silverstone in September 2017. It's the Ferrari 488 Challenge of Philipp Baron of Austria and has a 670hp turbocharged 3,902cc V8 engine developed from that of the Ferrari 488 GTB. Alongside it is the similar car of Italian Daniele di Amato.
This is the third one I did for this challenge to go outside the borders. I "borrowed" parernstuff's idea of the pin and the staples. Brilliant idea she had, and I think it's very effective.
I decided to try the challenge #32 from I am the Diva's weekly challenges (Carol Ohl was the guest challenger). I've never done these tangles before and I wanted to see if I could do it. I haven't quite gotten to the point where I can just do all ink... I have to use a pencil first and tend to plan things out somewhat, then use the ink and a really good eraser.

Barbie thanks you for rescuing her from the darkness of the attic. Didn't want to dust off the box too much but did clean up the plastic.
