Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

My family and I are down in Gatlinburg, Tennessee for Christmas. On the way down we stopped at Knoxville to letterbox. A 20 box series and it was pretty cool. We actually met up with Scouttrekie to do an exchange. It was really nice meeting up with a letterboxer out of state. The letterboxing adventure was about 2 miles long and cold.

Sadly, I can't figure out how to upload pics from the iPad to my blog so I'll do that when I get home.

Yesterday, my brother and I went down a park about .4 miles away from where we are staying to letterbox. We were also trying to scout some places to plant a new series but there went any that we could find. After it stops raining we will scout for new places. Hopefully we can find some places to hide these boxes.

If you ever get the chance to go to the Ripely's Haunted House, don't go, unless you like being scared. We went today and I hated every moment of it.

Anyways,

Merry Christmas everyone!

AQ Secret Santa

Today I got my AQ Secret Santa gift! I loved it! Crafty Lobster was my secret Santa. She sent some amazing stuff.

LTCs, a hitchhiker, multi-color stamp, stickers, handmade logbooks, trading card selves, a charm thing, glitter, and metal frame thingies. It was such a wonderful gift! Went I went to the mail box to get the mail I saw the box inside and thought it was for my dad, but nope! It was labeled to Catchow! I ran inside the house with a big, bright smile. My parents and I went out to the office and dad opened it up for me and I just tore away at it. I had to move to the kitchen table to open everything since it was all individually wrapped. My entire family gathered around to see what all I got. My mom and younger brother were as just as excited as I was to open the gifts. My little brother actually was getting all antsy and kept grabbing at the gifts so he could open it. Well, I did let him open a few.
It was such an awesome surprise!

Crafty Lobster sells the logbooks she sent me online. They are pretty cool (just sayin'...) and very well done!

I also sent my secret Santa I was assigned to, her gift today. I really hope she likes it... but I feel like, compared to what I got, it isn't all that good... I don't know, we'll see.

A Birthday For a Boxer

Yes, today is my birthday. I'm 17, yes 17. For all of you who are reading my blog, yes you have been reading a blog written by an adolescent female who, by the way, is a lot more intelligent and mature than those I go to school with  :P (Most of the times anyways :P you should just see the school I go to!)

Any ways, don't let my age discourage you from stop reading my post. Is it bad to see the letterboxing world from a teens point of view? I certainly hope not. I already don't have a life and I don't want to stop sharing my stories.

Well, after you grow out of the toy stages of life what do you ask for for your birthday? I, like many others, asked for letterboxing supplies. I got some new ink pads from my awesome boyfriend, Tyrus. He also got me a #1 speedball bit! Yay! Now I can do more detailed carves! He also got me some new distressed markers, which I adore. Mother Hen also got me some stamp marker and the color selections are amazing! Amongst all the the letterboxing supplies, I have about 1500 calories worth of Cheetoz and probably another 1500 calories in chocolate. What girl doesn't want chocolate on her birthday? And that doesn't even include the cake.....

Well, thanks to all who read my blog and put up with the misspellings and chaos that is my life. I will have an exciting story about last Sunday here soon!
