A Stamp for Indiana

A while ago I became great friends with a fellow letterboxer, Indiana Tim. More times then often, you will see us hanging out in the AQ chat room chatting. Well one day we were chatting about carving stamps and such when Tim told me that he tried carving a stamp of his little girl.
"Looks like a creepy skull!" he said. "Maybe I'll send it out and get it professionally done."
After a couple minuets of thinking I offered to carve the stamp for him.
Later I received a caricature drawing of a small child that I then carved. It didn't take too long, but I did end up reprinting the photo quiet a few times looking for the right size. I also added her name into the stamp. It was a pretty good carve and the fist time I had ever carved a caricature.
As a surprise I hand sewn (because I don't like sewing machines) a small horse draw-string bag for her to carry the stamp in. The stamp was carved for Tim but it was being given to his little girl and he didn't even know I had made the bag.
A few weeks later I mailed the package out to Indiana Tim. Within a few days he hand the package. He loved the stamp and the bag I made. I also managed to make him crack up when he read the card I wrote. I love making people laugh.
When he gave the stamp to his little girl she went to her mom and said, "Look mama! It's me!" She then wanted to see all of Tims stamps and the got all inked up from stamping their stamps.

I love making people happy and I love carving stamps for other people. Nothing makes me happier than to hear that I made someones day.
