I LOVE ALL the PLB's that I have had the honor of getting but there are some that will always stick out in my mind.I would like to know if there are anymore PLBers that have a "special" box that they got last year and why it was so special. This is a 3 way tie for me not in any order they are
1. Lollipop seeds : For the great "trick" that I will never forget.
2. Ribbons & Bows : For the outstanding logbook.
3. Leftovers : For the great use and AWESOME talent for the logbook.

I will always feel special when I look at all of the stamps and also remember the AWESOME logbooks. Thank you one and all for letting me join in on the PLB's and I can't wait to see all of the ones to come in 2007.

Your friend in LBing,
Kim

well im new to letterboxing, and have only recieved a few postals so far- but by far my first was my favorite.
it was teacups zebra from the zookeepers ring- and it was so cute the package was adorable, and then i was soo excited about recieving my first that i made the "horsey" do "horsey things" and prance and talk to its stamped image on the logbook.
i reverted back to my two year-old self and it was a blast :)

I would have to say my favorite PLB of 2006 was "Super Yard Sale".
It was a great collections of stamps started by So Hill Hendersons and added to by the stamper at each stop. There were so many nice stamps by some of the best carvers. I wish I could see the whole collection once it has made all of its stops!

There are so many good PLBs I've had it's hard to choose, but 2 really great ones are by Beelenz-Tinkermit. They are from The Late Greats ring, John Lennon and Albert Einstein. I hope I can become half as good a carver as she is. Another good one is Watermelon Seeds from the Pranks Parents Play on Children ring by Nitro Cat and Kittens. It was a great stamp of a watermelon and she enclosed a picture of herself when she was expecting. What a fun postal. I've truly enjoyed all the postals I have received. I'm looking forward to many more.

Best box had to be the Dr. Watson's Dossier from the Sherlock Holmes Ring. I see is has resurfaced as a single tracker. Enjoy!

Well, I had to go back through all of my logbooks and check. I've had the pleasure of seeing so many boxes this year for only having started postals in september. I think the three that stand out the most to me are as follows:
1. Tribute to Steve Irwin by Queen Beeloved. The carving was fantastic! We were so thrilled to be part of that box.
2. Patriot by Infinity. We were proud to contribute to this one. Bless all the service men/women. Infinity did an amazing job on this stamp! If you weren't part of it, JOIN!
3. My particular favorite was the Wedding-in-a-box PLB by SHH. Not anything I had expected and therefore was a particular delight to open. SHH is a master carver in my opinion!

I am certain I will see more and more boxes that are truly amazing but we will save those for the end of 2007! Perhaps one day, someone will say such kind things about one of my boxes. With so many inspirations out there, I can hardly wait to try.

My favorite 2006 PLB was head and shoulders above the others- The DaVinci Code. It had unbelievable carvings and logbooks by Orion and Celtic Quinn. Sadly, it is now listed as missing.
