It is a big deal. I'm nowhere near carving my 20th.

I haven't planted them all though

But I am looking forward to boxing in Ohio.

I do have another odd question that just might fit in here. The stamp I carved yesterday was my Johnny Appleseed hitchhiker. I carved him wearing boots. But I'm thinking now. Does the legend say he went barefoot?

I can modify the stamp pretty easily

I found this at: http://www.millville.org/Workshops_f/Dich_FOLKLORE/WACKED/story.html

Quote As he was a small man, his bartered clothing usually fit him poorly. This led to some of the humorous descriptions of his appearance in those early years. Like many of the settlers, he went barefooted a great deal because shoes were hard to come by and seldom fit his tough gnarled feet.


I'd say in your stamp, he'd recently been lucky enough to barter for a pair of boots!

S~N~K - did you miss the 0 that should have been at the end of 20, making it 200? lol...Your stamps are great! Congratulations on your latest!

Anyone else find "I carved him wearing boots. But I'm thinking now. Does the legend say he went barefoot? ...I can modify the stamp pretty easily" pretty funny? A flick of a knife and it's bye-bye boots, hello toes!

hehehe

yeah it's just 20. I know I can trim those boots away...but I think I'll leave it.
I'm hoping Johnny makes his way to KY.
I'm coming up with ideas for hitchhikers...but not regular boxes. I just drew out a "Snow Bird" design.
