Hello From Huntington, Indiana

[Thomas Steiner]

My name is Thomas Steiner & I live in Huntington, Indiana with my wife, Doreen. We have two grown up lovely daughters and two grown up great looking sons. We also have one granddaughter & one grandson. I have been decorating our yard with lights for 39 years. Although I don't run a computerized display and don't really plan to, there are still some elements of control to everything. It is a great hobby to get into & we really love to do it. We are a family of one law enforcement officer. I have been collecting plastic Christmas lawn blow molds since I was 13 years old. I have always had the passion of love for my blow molds. I am called,"the plastic blow molds expert and a blow molds veteran", for many a years as I have been collecting and displaying blow molds for 39 years and putting them into my Christmas display every year. I am one of the few that I would call a true blow mold expert. Some of the blow mold manufacturing names are, Faster-Forms, Farley Technologies, Artline, Blinky Products, Bel Air, Holiday Innovations, Borse Plastics Products, Judith Novelity Sales, Empire Plastics, Beco Products, Poloron Products, Santa's Best, Union Products, TPI/Canada, Drainage Industries, Sun Hill Industries, Dapol, Noma Lites, Mold-Craft, Falcon, Grand Venture, etc. This seems to be a Christmas place where I will fit right in.:)

Ryan, Never was ever a member of Constantly Christmas. We never knew each other as I was not around on PC in 2006. I am doing well, thank you!:)

Welcome Thomas! How great to have someone with blowmold experience here. Many of the deckers here are interested in outside and inside props. Are you familiar with the article about reconditioning blowmolds by Carrie Sansing?

Sickie Ickie, Thank you for your warm welcome. Yes, I am familiar with Carrie Sansing's article on blow molds. She is a great friend of mine and does a awesome job of blow mold reconditioning.
