I drove for over 6 hours yesterday to Logan, Utah to take my friends kids to the dentist. So I went to Logan for that but we went shopping also. I noticed that there was a HD so I quickly cut a right turn and pulled into the lot. I told her to keep the kids I would be only a moment.

I ran in thru the exit and rapidly made my way to the paint deptpartment. I could read the big letters Disney but I didn't have my glasses with me. I saw for the very first time the most beautiful site. Hundreds of MHPC's! I found myself ready to cry at the site of the heads. I looked down and found about 10 shades of green and could not read the names. I picked up the first one and held it waaay out there and thought to myself, yes that could say alien so I took all but one head! Yes, all but one! I quickly had my treasure clutched in my hot little hands as I made a my quick exit for the door. My heart was racing and I was sure I would feel the hand of security on my shoulder but I had luck on my side this time and felt the rush of hot air hit my face as my MHPC's and I made it to the safe outside.

I flung open the van door to squel in delite to my passengers how wonderful it is that I had a handful of the most beautiful MHPC I had ever seen. My glee was met with blank stares. My dear friend looked at me as if I needed serious psychiatric help and asked what on earth was I doing. I immediate doled out heads to kids and we all played Mickey heads. For the next 2.5 hours all I heard was I need another MHPC for the back. I started to panic as I had to give my heads away to the deserving children! I only had a few left and they were mine, all mine, my teasure! The PC were cut off from the lovely children and I kept them next to me in the front guarded from the little hands.

After making the first drop off the children and parents I picked up my cell to check on my sweet mom who is 73. She drove the other way and did a 5 our trip to Idaho falls to get tile. She informed me that she went to HD and here is my sweet dear mom going up to the Disney paint section and she took every colour of green heads and chips they had! She even took the brochure on the Disney paint! How cute is that? Mom also loves the MHPC now and she doesn't even go to Disney but she said if that is all it takes to make me happy she will make sure she brings home as many as she can.

I love my LGMHPC and I have finally started my collection!
 
So now what? Do I peel them off or use them on the cardboard?

Thanks, April
 
I didn't see the other post....

I heard that you can stick them in the micro for a few seconds and they will peel away from the cardboard - I haven't tried it yet. I'm a bit apprehensive! lol
 

I think I am going to peel them and then glue them together and laminate them so they stay nice.

Thanks for the help on how to get them to peel up! :Pinkbounc
 
Why oh why did I join this club? How did this happen? I love MHPC now and want them all!

That microwave thing... Anybody tried this and confirmed it? I am too chicken to commit my prescious LGMHPC's to something that might cause them harm. Our HD has switched to the dreaded non-head shaped rectangles, so our few are the last of their kind. I tried the water soaking, it works, but they are very fragile, and prone to wrinkles. So far DW has had good luck with just cutting them out and laminating them back to back. I also forged some 'spooky' Hypno-Halloween Green Mickey Heads with our screen names on them for the MNSSHP night. (Sept. 15th.)
 
Be careful it is very addictive. I always snag a bunch when I go to HD. There are two HD within fifteen minutes of me. :smooth: I usually leave a few LGMHs, but I also take some other colors for the kids to play with. I can't let them destroy the LGMHs like they do the other ones.

Over a month to go until our next trip, wondering how many more I can capture before then.
 
Your stealth truck is about as stealthy as my POS F-150 in two tone brown! It is truly our farm truck and looks like it.

I am just going to cut them out, glue them together and then laminate after getting our names on them.

I can't believe I drove over 6 hours for PC! I am sick, I need professional help! :bounce:

I feel confident no one will notice us and it wil blend right in :rotfl2:
 
Tomorrow is another LGMH Day!!! My little granddaughter lives oh so close to a Home Depot. So now I have a new excuse to go visit her!!

But seriously how many of these little critters can I really use? Luggage tags and key chains, necklaces and earrings, holiday ornaments---what other uses are there??

I swear if I saw that stealth truck on the highway I'd have an accident for sure!!!
 
I have been so busy collecting that now I can't seem to find enough projects for my treasures...i've also painted objects with the heads as well so now I'm out of ideas...this is what I've done so far:
1. painted a black hat with a LARGE head on the brim with my screen name on it and put little heads all around the edges
2. painted a store bought Mickey t's ears lime green
3. painted a LARGE green Mickey head on the back pocket of my overalls
4. made 3 "badge" type name tags for different bags that can be clipped and moved to various items as needed....what else can I do with all the wonerful heads I have left??? I have about 20 left i would guess.... :confused3 :love: :artist: :rolleyes1 :crazy: :bounce: DJ
 
I cant seem to find my LGMH at Home depot... Isnt it the Alien Green color.. All out.. I guess fellow diser's shop at my home depot a lot
 
It is alien green. I am lucky to live out west where I drive 6 hours rt to get to the HD. No one takes them but me! Mine all mine!

I am going to try to stick one on my horses butt!
