All Hands Were On Deck! Thank You All!

I would like to raise my sword and shout an enthusiastic "Thank you" to everyone who attended and contributed to helping us set sail at the Pirates Life for me Event in September 2017! It is humbling to have so many hands on deck to assist in making our local events something special. From local and out of state carvers who made our images worth walking the plank to find and attendees from close to home and far away bringing their enthusiasm and fun spirits on board for the journey we were so blessed by your presence.

We are so proud to report that our "Ahoy, Matey's - Help Fill The Treasure Chest With Food" Letterboxing event food drive collected almost 200 pounds of food that was donated to the Eagle Food Bank. All of your Goldfish Crackers, cans of tuna, Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice and Capt'n Crunch cereal really made a difference for those in need.

I know that I speak both for Kelly (Pixie Dust Gal) and myself in offering up a huge thank you to Music Chick (Amanda), Rydeswitheagles (Joyce) and Crazy Mountain Woman (Carma) for their extra carving efforts, event set up and tear down and helping pitch in every time we needed an extra hand. We tip our hats to Joyce who spent the majority of the event manning the registration table, food drive, raffle tickets and treasure chest key stamps. And Little Miss Kitty (Kendall) who not only created and donated two huge raffle baskets and the handmade Mermaid Tail blanket but who also worked on the beautifully designed treasure maps the day before the event (no small feat as they were amazing and saved Kelly and I from staying up all night to put them together).

And last but not least a special thank you to my partner in crime and insane creativity Pixie Dust Gal (Kelly) who traveled down the Rabbit Hole with me in 2012, donned her faery wings with me to enter the Magical Gateways in the Whispering Woods in 2013, joined the Rebel Legion in 2015 as Princess Leia at the Letterbox Force Awakens event and who just returned to port with me as we returned from our Pirates Life For Me 2017 Event. You are the best Letterboxing Co-Host ever!
