It's been a fun nine years (WHOA!) of letterboxing in the PNW, but tomorrow we'll be moving to the other coast (DC-VA area) and starting a new adventure.

Since I started boxing in Portland in 2001, I've gotten to see the area grow from about 40 boxes to well-over 400 boxes! I've also gotten to teach afterschool letterboxing clubs and attend lots of fun gatherings where I've gotten to meet hundreds of folks who share a love for letterboxing.

It's been fun meeting everyone, forming lasting friendships, and learning carving, book-making, and camouflaging techniques from everyone.

So, THANK YOU PNWers for adding to the sport and for being such a welcoming group of friends. I look forwarding to visiting you in the future and finding all of the new plants!

Jess :)

I'm so glad I got to meet you before you moved!! Yours was such a fun event at Halloween.I'm sure you'll have a blast in DC. There seems to be some great boxers there. Hopefully, you will get out here again and show us some new things. Happy New Year, I hope it's a safe and prosperous one for you and your family. -storm rider-

Booo Hooo!!! {Get it - both crying and Halloweeny :-)}

We'll miss you, Jess. The East coast better appreciate what they're getting...

Hey, just a thought - since you'll be on the right-hand side, you could help rally folks for a 15-yr celebration, huh? (L&B v2.0?) Just a thought...

Take care, you will be missed.

Bye! I think of you every time I open my/your desk drawer. My parents have been abroad now for a decade, without the support you will get, and they have said it is an amazing way to spend your life. Best wishes that you love it that much too.

That is good to know! I've asked myself, "Really? Why are we doing this again?" about 15 times in the last 24 hours. I know it will be full of adventures and great experiences, but the stage we are in right now isn't so enjoyable (paperwork, moving, re-establishing, changing addresses, etc.)

Thanks everyone for the great messages. You guys are the best!

Jess :)
