Hello, all!
I've really been enjoying finding all of these fun letterboxes, and
always enjoy seeing people's great stamps!
I am getting ready to place my first box, and have been working on my
stamp carving. I'll be honest, my carving skills leave much to be
desired, and I think my stamps look very crude next to some of the
great art I have seen.
My question is: will people be disappointed if they find my box and
the stamp is very simplistic? Should I get one carved for me? I'd
much rather have the stamp be of my own crafting --- I just wish I
were better at carving!
Thanks,
Shan in Michigan

Shan,
I have never been disappointed in any stamp I've
found. I think letterboxing is the whole experience
and the fact that a person took some of their own
time, energy and expense to create something for me to
find is just a mind boggling thing! Giving of yourself
like that for someone else's pleasure in finding it is
just a really terrific thing, isn't it? :o)
I hope people don't get disappointed by mine,
either, as I'm surely no artist and sometimes that
darned blade slips. I use a lot of clip art or
easy images I can concoct for my stamps. If anyone is
disappointed I haven't heard from them yet!
Happy boxing!
A.D.

Shannon:
IMO, you have put your heart and creativity into your first carving attempt. Be proud of what you have created! I, too, have just placed my first box recently. The stamp was my second attempt at carving, the first attempt being my own signature stamp. So, any boxes I visit will always be marked with my newbie carving effort!
I'll be glad to seek out your box once it's planted. Judging by your e-mail addy, looks like it will be local for me!
Have a great weekend,
StampinPam

A personally carved stamp (regardless of the complexity of the
design, or skill level of the artist) always makes the letterboxing
experience a little more special (for me)

I think my 8 month old could carve better than I but it doesn't stop
me from planting 'boxes. If you've carved your own stamp there's a
personal gratification in having done it, Besides, every time you
carve one you just get better at it.
Anyway, while I'm out searching it's not the quality of the stamp
that I find but the hunt that's so addictive!
I can't remember where on the list I read it but..."If you plant it,
they will come!"
Happy 'Boxing!

Hello Shan, if you want to carve a stamp for your box, do it. I don't think people will be dissapointed in the stamp. Hunting for a box and the hike to it is the main thing for me. When I find a box, I don't care if the carving is bad. Getting the stamp is the end of the hunt not the hunt itself. Who knows, you may become very good at it with practice and time anyway. Good luck. Chuck & Molly in CT

Personally, the fun for me is in the hunt, and exploring a new place. The stamp for my logbook is just a bonus. (: My stamp carving is not that fabulous either, but the more I do, the better I get...

Shan,
If I was looking for your letterbox, I would want it to have all the parts to
it that you prefer best. Its your box, so its your presentation. I'd like
your stamp no matter what it looked like!
