Default Packer-Piller

Back in the toy business...just finished this "caterpillar" from a pattern in Wood Magazine. My brother in law saw it and said the green and yellow color makes it a "PACKER-PILLER".

Either way it's destined for my grandaughter in St. Louis.

Thanks everyone. This may not have been very "creative" on my part, but it sure was fun to do, and you are right, Bob, those smiles are payback enough!
