In My World

2007 The Big Blue Team consists of Grandpa, Grandma (me), and our three grandsons (now ages 10, 8, 4). We live in St. Thomas, Ontario. Our very first letterboxing trek was July 23, 2007. We started out with a shopping trip to collect supplies -- for letterboxing and for eating. A store-bought clown stamp and blue ink were selected for our team stamp. We named our team The Big Blue Team for a very important reason -- we couldn't agree to anything else -- and we were all dressed in blue. Our first find in St. Thomas was Jumbo . Our first find in London was London Calling . Our first plant in St. Thomas was The Onion in the Sky . This box went missing Winter 07-08 when someone (the city perhaps) cleaned up the area. The letterboxer who came the furthest to find our box was a little girl form England. Our second trek was during a buying trip to Mississauga. We stopped to try and find Blair's Sheaves Tower . The location was fabulous but we never did find the box. A little disappo...

We usually wait until spring to begin letterboxing , but today was cold, crisp and sunny . . . and I desperately needed a day off . . . to get away from it all . . . to spend some quality time with Grandpa. We left St. Thomas at 8:09 am today. Our first stop was Blair's Sheaves Tower . This was our second attempt and we FOUND IT. We are quite pleased with ourselves now. What a great way to start the morning. Our next stop as That Chickadee Feeling . This was a bit of a tough find because there was a lot of ice and snow . . . but worth every slip and slide . . . and the chickadees are adorable. Our third stop was O-2A Sky Master . What a great find. The carving was exquisite. We noted two venues in the area we'd like to see -- The Children's Safety Village and Wings of Paradise . We've been to Wings before but it is definitely worth a second visit. Our next attempt was A Walk in the Woods . Yep . . . just an attempt. I'm not sure if we were misinterpreting the clu...

. . . and I already know there aren't enough days in February to contain everything I want to do . . . Have you seen the February Pizza Box Kit yet?  Here's a quick catch up on what I've been up to . . . Did you hear Hal and I are taking ballroom dancing lessons? LOL . . . we really aren't very good . . . but we certainly do have a great time trying . . . I hosted one crop in January and vendored at another . . . I went to a St. Thomas Stars Hockey Game . . . Connie's wish . . . We sang Karaoke . . . Rachelle's wish . . . . . . where we sang Girls Just Wanna Have Fun to a very appreciative audience . . . There is so much going on at the store that I just don't know where to start . . . some promotions have been cancelled (for a while) such as Saturday Make N Take and the Monthly Challenge Kit. Don't worry . . . you are going to love the promotions we are bringing in to replace them . . . And please take a moment to ...
