Carve, make boxes, write clues, research parks, research ideas for images, make LTCs, shop for supplies, read the Letterpost, solve clues for mystery boxes, plan route for next boxing trip, plan vacations around boxing, plan route to work, school and errands around boxing....

In other words "A little hair of the dog that bit you!!" always works wonders :)

Now you are getting it!!

Unless you are Dina B -- then you might be making zombie movies or something.

But the rest of us are doing normal things like carving, solving mystery clues, and making LTC's.

Or carving zombie stamps, or planning zombie events.

I can't even remember when I last did that many in a day!! If ever...

But it does take me a really long time to do one stamp now. And the length of time it takes me to create a logbook has also increased.

Well, gee . . . I wonder why . . .

Could it be because they are full of AMAZING tiny details and lots and lots of WORDS?????

I would assume the time it takes me to carve a stamp & u to carve one differs because I have no ideas what I am doing & pick simple simple carves. But tonight I am going to try a portrait of mt new twin nephews. Will plant that in ev when we go visit next month

ElectricMedic are good people.

You're right, though. There are many reasons that I "hate" ol' Huggy. Her skill with a gouge is just one of them. lol

What do boxers do when they are not boxing...

Most of us have real lives, you know on the side...really, there is life after boxing. I do know some that live and breath boxing and have no other outlets...so sad....I love boxing but do realize that life goes on beyond the spectrum.

That's because you stopped making stamps and started creating art pieces!

Well, I don't know about all that. But I do think it's funny that the more I practice the slower I'm actually getting! LOL!

Really, I need to put lots of stuff on one stamp to slow me down. With the number of hours I put in carving, I'd be buried under them if I didn't!!

Yeah, I agree. After all, I do have to maintain a job to have money to pay for gas and carving materials to go boxing! :)

You may be getting slower, but you still pump out five LTCs for every one I get finished!

Me saying that I hate her is how she knows I love her.

That's just how we roll. LOL

I have the opposite problem. My sarcasm tags aren't big enough when I talk.
