Taking a non planned day to go letterboxing is fun. ZJBearsfan and i ended up in Lancaster County after hitting up some boxes along the way. So we went and got dinner and then pulled up the application that he has on his i-phone to see what boxes were around. Which side note, that app. is so so so SOOOO convenient. I love not having to print out or write down all the clues instead just pull them up on the phone and they are there. LOVE IT!! ok back on track here we go....Soo we decided to go to Long's park and i had never been there but i knew that they were always having all kinds of events there. We are getting ready to turn in to the park and realize that there is a huge concert event of some kind going on and there are two boxes there that we were going to get. So instead of just saying we will get them another day and never go in we decide and by that i mean ZJBearsfan decided that we would go in and try to figure out about where the boxes were and if we could get away with getting to them with out being seen. Needless to say we had to abandon our Letterbxing mission for that park for today but we will be back to get them at some point. As much as we wanted to get them while we were we knew that for the boxes safety we shouldn't. So we will be back to box another day.
Introducing letterboxing to my boyfriend (ZJBearsfan) has been one of the best things ever. It works out perfectly because he loves to drive, figure out puzzles and go on road trips and i love road trips, carving and being crafty. It all works out well for us. So since he lovesletterboxing now too wehave gone and found a good number of boxes and even planted a few. We also took a trip to Gettysburg, which was fun because my family and i had been up there boxing before but this time i got to find a few more boxes then i had before so it was awesome.I also got to experience finding my first hitch hiker after months of being a boxer. I was so excited and my boyfriend really was unsure why until i explained to him what they were, then he was excited too. So needless to say we had so much fun and found a bunch of boxes and took a bunch of pictures which was so fun!
These are some of the pics we took, some are near boxes that we found without giving a place a way and others are just random pictures that we took! ENJOY!!!!
Another vacation trip to my grandparents who live in Delaware. I am so excited because we got to go boxing again. There were a few at Bethany Beach that i could not wait to get. These were some of the hardest and most fun to get because we had to be really stealth which was the fun part. Also trying to get a box that is located behind a police station when you do not know if they know about it is kind of scary. None the less it is thrilling haha. These boxes were definitely some of the most fun boxes to get. I was even going to plant a box that i had all ready but it never happened so maybe next time i am down i can finally plant my first box. We will see maybe i will plant it some where else. I know this was short and sweet but i felt that an update was needed! Life has just been really busy lately i barely have enough time to even letterbox. :o( Which is very sad yes! Well for now i bid happy trails!!!
Family, Easter break, and letterboxing what can be better?! Most of my family lives in Pennsylvania but one of my grandparents live in Delaware near Bethany Beach, so we visit them a lot. There place has become a second home for my family, because who wouldn't want a second home at the beach. This Easter we decided to skip out of PA for Easter and go spend the holiday break with my grandparent's. So what better of a way to also get some new letterboxes that i do not already have :o) you know me always thinking!! I was excited because this was the first time my family and i would be able to get some boxes not in PA and not around us like the rest that we have found were.So we headed to the beach and picked up a few and after we did i took this picture that i absolutely LOVE and i hope others enjoy too! In the end we got a few boxes and experiences boxing in a different state! We even tried to get my grandparents in to it but they were not so sure of it all i guess.
A few days home and i have already carved 3 stamps, and made over 30 LTC's haha wow i have really been wanting to work on my letterboxing stuff. Here are the stamps that i have just finished carving, but i dont want to put up the LTC's yet because i don't want to give them away.
Finally Spring Break is almost here which means i finally have some time to put forth in making some LTC's and go out letterboxing, and maybe finally plant a few boxes! (That would be amazingly nice) ALSO....I am loving the new AQ my page set up, i am finally getting time to play with it and have some fun with the widgets :)! I joined some LTC swaps and can't wait to get carving and creating with the LTC's i am going to make. I am so thrilled to finally have time for my addiction...oops i mean "hobby" :) Thats a short little update in Penguin_Girl22 for now but i am sure i will get some pictures up when i have some of my LTC's done :)
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....
