There was a small blub in the most recent Rubberstampmadness
(Jan/Feb 99) in the Surf City column:
- International Letterboxing Club, www.letterboxing.com/Read
all about it - scavenger hunting with a rubber stamp focus.
They had both addresses ILC and LUSA. Competion for space is
tough - I guess there was not room to run lots of site addresses
so they opted for the one with letterboxing in the url. I know
the author of the column had been to both sites.
Thanks Randy for all of your work on the new site - I think it
is very timely.
I have FIVE more boxes ready to place !!!!! Hopefully that will
happen this week - I know Julie can hardly wait. I stole Julie's
idea - with her permission - and made the stamp for each box in
a different shape. I have to say I was thinking of Deborah and
her box as I was carving all of the WORDS on the stamps. Words are
very tedious and I would hate to have it go missing. But I have
B&W copies so I could just have them custom made and replace the
boxes if I want.
