Gint-a-Cuffs 9: Part 1 of 2

If you've been following me for a bit, you're probably familiar with my participation in the annual Gint-a-cuffs contest. I've busted a box for 5 years in a row now and it's never not fun. Here is the first of two results posts to recount my haul and formerly record this year's entry. To the pretty images!
