After all the warnings, postings, etc...... I was carving a quick little stamp to go with a PLB katwrangler was sending out and I was carving a treble cleff with music notes and do you know what I did???? Hint: I drew the image on the stamp rather than traced and imprinted...you know what is coming.....It was backwards!!
Whew-I hope I now have THAT out of the way!
I guess I'm a member of the "club" now!

Yep, it's only a matter of time... It's always the quick ones too.

Welcome to the club:)

And yes you do have it out of the way now:) I haven't carved backwards since the first time(knocking on all the wood I can find). But of course I've only done 3 stamps since then;)

oh...
I am grand poobah of this club
*eye roll*
I have done it more than once...
one of the big oopsies I did is actually planted and is among one of the plants I did in preparation for the Mtn gathering back in October. Those paying close attention when stamping in that day may have noticed...but I'm never telling which one it was ;P

Just give me a hint - have I logged it as a find?? (just making sure I didn't miss anything ;-))

Mama Fox - scurrying off to find her logbook!!!

Oh yes...
you have logged it as found :)
the entire image is not backwards...but part of it is :P

I guess that makes it a collector's item; )

Now the challange of renaming the stamp:-P
And welcomer to the elite club.

Ok, if you havent thrown away or if you're not using your backwards stamp already, would you please consider sending it to me for the
Umop episdn & sdrawkcab Tea Party on March 31st!!!!

:-D AQmail me for my address.... You will be credited with the carve and as author, and if you want it back i can do that too. ;-)

Are the plants you place for the event going to be staying in place longterm?


I'm not wishing for mistakes, but I will be sure to keep you in mind. Please don't take that as bragging either. I know a sdrawkcab one is on the way!!

oh man!!!!!
Dang...
I just altered a backwards stamp a few days ago.
I cut out the backwards part which made the stamp smaller and turned it into a HH
sorry! :(

I can make it either a temporary box (and send it back to the owner) or a permanant plant and keep it down here in Cane Creek Park in Waxhaw NC Up to you.

das ok! maybe i'll get to see it anyway ;-D

If I send any, I would love for them to stay permanent

Then it shall be permanent!! I aq'd you my addy! Thanks bunches!!

congratulations!

Well I have already planned to do something "backwards" for the backwards event! I told katwrangler that night "that's OK, we'll just take it to waxhaw and it will fit in with the theme of the event-the only thing now is you guys are on to me! We thought we would just be so witty and cool with our backwards stamps!!!!! Now-how to incorporate it into a box!.........

I often wondered where backwards stamps went to when they got "finished off"

I used one of my "carved backwards" stamps as a HH, and used it as a play on words!!

It is called - "one sent back" It was originally to be a penny for a series, and carved the #1 and cent sign backwards. So, just called it "one sent back"

I launched that in Cape Cod during the O' Christmas Tree!!!!

I have been away from the site for a few days because of the birth of my first grandchild, but I have just carved my first "backward" stamp, and the first time I ever tried letters, so guess I'm broke in now. At the time I saw the request for these stamps, I didn't have one. I am not able to find the post now because of my newbie stupidity. (grin) If whoever needed the stamps can email me, I have a cemetary where I carved "RIP" backwards that you can have. (sigh)
