Then, when I got to where I could think about carving one, I'd gotten
attached to the one I had. It was "me," you know?"
I am so glad I am not the only one attached to their first stamp! We
are still very new to this, but I made our stamps right away... before I
had much knowledge of carving tools and materials. Out stamps are very
basic and kinda scary (and I have very little, if any, artistic
abilites)... LOL... but, I have decided at this time that I do not want
to make new ones since this is what we started with.
I can only imagine the faces on those who find our stamps and the
thoughts that must go through their mind! =]

The first two boxes I ever found had store bought stamps. I was
thrilled
with both of them.
One of my plants had (It's since disappeared. I think the squirrels
got it)
a store-bought stamp. It was exactly what I wanted for that box, and
beyond
my ability to carve. I noted on the clues, so if it was that important
to
someone, they didn't have to go after it.
My personal stamp is store bought. I got it originally just so I could
get
out there and get boxing fast. Then, when I got to where I could think
about
carving one, I'd gotten attached to the one I had. It was "me," you
know?
So I added a few embellishments with colored pencils, to make it more
unique,
but it's still the same basic design.
Despite these handicaps, I'm having a wonderful time with letterboxing.
