Wow. Is this the last of the state themes? It has been interesting getting a glimpse of each state each month.

I have seen and tried the sharpening. I am really lousy at it. I usually make them worse. Most of the time I lose them before they need sharpening.

I'm just about to send this response to the site. Please reply in the next hour if you have ideas for edits or inclusions. Otherwise, I'm pressing send at 10:15 am. ;)

In response to this letterboxing article:

http://www.atlantaparent.com/article/detail/6137

The GA letterboxing community is concerned that the usage of the phrase "take a penny, leave a penny" will result in widespread taking of stamps from letterboxes. Please consider amending this article to reflect that a finder must leave the stamp in the box. We plant these boxes with these stamps for everyone to enjoy for many years. The "take a penny, leave a penny" mentality in letterboxing results in stolen stamps, destroyed containers, and hours of hard work essentially reduced to trash.

Thank you for featuring our hobby. We always encourage and enjoy newcomers!

Thanks!

on one hand she says to return original contents to box and then immediately says take a penny, leave a penny. I understand she means images but the wording is precarious for sure. I think your letter is fine since you are clarifying that you don't want people to think of the taking a penny aspect as taking an object...just the image.

Someone clicked "funny" because I said that carving on OZ hurts my hands??? Hmm, maybe I should mention that my knee aches and I have a headache. Now I'll get on the Wassa widget today for sure!! :^/

(Maybe there needs to be an S&M board...)

I almost funnied this post to be a snot, but knowing what it's like to have sore joints and a headache, I thought better of it. I bet that first funny was a miss-click.

Riverkat, I will keep you in mind if I decide to ditch it. :)

Actually, my knee doesn't hurt that much today, and my headache is fading. I was just playing up the pain angle to see if the closet sadist took the bait!! ;^)

Yeah, it probably was a misclick. When I'm on my phone, I accidentally click "rude" a lot. I hope nobody takes it personally if I don't see it and fix it.

Keep it in your armpit before carving.

Did you mean the OZ or the gouge???
