2011 PNW Ornament Exchange Update!

 The 2011 Pacific North West Ornament Exchange was a HUGE Success.  It was amazing, lots of food, friends, and fun.  Tons of stamps to stamp what a great event.  Thank you so much to Morris Five and  Lolounger for hosting the event you did an excellent job this year.  Below are a few photos from the event during the actual exchange.  If you missed it I am so sorry because you truly missed something special.  I can't say enough good things about the time we spent with new and old friends.  We can't wait until the next one.  Until then Letterbox Like Crazy!

The First Official Letterboxing Club Meeting

The First Official Letterboxing Club Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.  It will be a potluck so if you are able to attend bring your favorite dish.  The address for the meeting is: 11160 SE 242nd Ave., Damascus, OR. 97089.  Things that will be discussed at the meeting will be: code of conduct, letterboxing 101, the club's future goals, uniform and awards, and we might even carve a little if time permits. There will also be a question and answer session.  It will be held as a mini event with structure.  There will also be a couple of stamps to collect that otherwise will not be available at any other time.  We encourage all to come especially those veteran letterboxers who could teach us a thing or two.  So come enjoy the fun filled world of letterboxing with us and join a club that is devoted to the growth and education of letterboxing to others in Oregon.  Until next time remember get out there and Letterbox Like Crazy!

Our Second Unofficial Letterboxing Club Meeting

Yesterday we had our second unofficial Oregon Letterboxing Club Meeting.  All who attended last time returned along with two new members with a total of eleven people.  We worked on carving techniques and gave people a chance to carve their own stamps.  It was a rocky start at first because most of the members hadn't carved before; but after a while they began to get the hang of it all and carved some very nice stamps. I brought my Nightmare Before Christmas Letterbox Series that will also be at the 2011 Pacific Northwest Ornament Exchange on December 17th.  I did this to give others who weren't able to attend the exchange on the 17th a chance to get this series.  It was a great meeting that introduced new members to the wonderful world of stamp carving, and that means that in the very near future Oregon will have new letterboxes to find.
