Coffee, and a mini-meet

Today was my first mini-meet or meet of any kind. My mom was completely thrilled like a kid on Christmas eve. It was so great to go out and get together with a few boxers around here and also get to meet and help out a fellow boxer from Idaho. That was pretty exciting to meet another boxer that was not even close to being from around here! We met at Sparky and Clark's got some coffee and then sat down and exchanged sig stamps, and some personal travelers. W also just got to sit around, talk and get to know one another, along with learning some new things since my family and i are still newbies. We had so much fun, and i hate that i can't just go out all the time right now and go letterboxing becasue of school, but thanksgiving break and christmas break are coming up very very soon :) so hopefully i can go get a few while i am home again!

Also i finished my first tracker for LTC's and am signed up for another one! I'm just as additcted to them as actual letterboxing. Although i just don't have much time at the moment school takes all of that away. I do have a lot of LTC's that i have not had time to log finds on yet, so if anyone out there is wondering if i got mine, I probably did but just have not had the time to log them, so bare with me there. I hope everyone is doing well, i'm not in the letterboxing community loop right now so i'm sure i'm missing a lot of whats going on and what's new :( I'll be able to jump back in, in do time! anyone can e-mail me at anytime i would love to hear from anyone!!! take care everyone....

The Addiction Needs to STOP....only for now

Well, I have gotten into making LTC's as well as carving a few more stamps, I have made 5 total LTC's so far, and love making them just as much as any other thing in letterboxing..BUT.... school is starting again and Lbing must be put to the side so i can focus on school :( *tear* Yes I will still get on AQ periodically, but will be unable to trade LTC's with anyone at this time, if you are interested in a trade by all means e-mail me and I will respond when I can, and send out trades when I am home for weekends, or breaks! So no i most liekly wont be seen on the boards or even logged in much, but i didn't fall off the face of the earth, just back into college life!!!

But before I have to get back into college too much i thought I would post some LTC's I have made and some pictures!!!!


So here we go...

This is NOT my first LTC but more like my 3rd or 4th, but it is my absolute favorite so far that I have made! I love it! I carved this bear in memory of my great-grandmother who loved bears and collected them as well as loved to make my family and I blankets, and such by sewing, crocheting, and whatever!!! This is called Patches, and i only have aproximately 3 left for trade...BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRADE RIGHT NOW! BUT if you would like this feel free to e-mail me to set up a trade, and I will send patches out when i can!!! So don't expect it right away!

P.S. this is all hand stitched BTW!!!!




NEXT:

We went to Gettysburg, to walk around and see the place, but also to LB of course! we found a few boxes while we were there, kind of like a last "hoo-rah" before school started again!!! We had a gorgeous day to be there and spend the day!!! Loved every minute of it and had a blast with the family :)




Well, unfortunately that is it for now, and probably for a little while because when classes pick up it will be insane and no time to even think about LBing or LTC making :(

1st carved stamp!!!!!

YAY YAY YAY, i have officially carved my first stamp!! let me know what you all think!! i am so excited! This is now my signature stamp for all of you knowing that it was different before!!! Just in case you can't tell it's a penguin (i mean i am Penguin_Girl22!!!!!)












The other picture here is my little brother TrojanTracker17! We went letterboxing this past weekend and he was LOVING the huge rocks everywhere on this trail!!! This picture was his idea and i think it's pretty awesome looking!! we ended up finding three more boxes and it wasn't that hot it was pretty nice!!! it was great boxing weather!! :)

#1 with plenty to come!

Well i just created this blog, and i can't wait to share my hobby, and life with tons of other people out there! This will be more of a personal blog as of now but that could change, but who knows. This picture is one of my favorites that i took on one of my families letterboxing outings. This was taken at Rocky Ridge state park!!! Letterboxing is a new hobby i have taken up with my family and we have all fell in love with it, or should i just say we are addicts now! My mom and i are so completely ready to start carving our own stamps and start planting boxes. I also want to get into LTC's, and my mom is thinking about getting involved with postals. If you are reading this and you are thinking what the heck is letterboxing, then leave a comment and i will find some site links to put up and information on it. I just don't have time as of right now but eventually will, hopefully!!
