I was reflecting this morning that today would have marked the 20th anniversary of my reopening Stampeaz. We almost made it to that milestone! I had some fun things planned for celebrating the day that won't happen now, but that's okay. Many wonderful things happened along the way.
I met some of the most wonderful and amazing people because of Stampeaz - both in person and online and I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate all of you. Sharing the adventures of art, carving, letterboxing and the quest for a better carving material enriched my life.
Thank you!

Your "official store" may no longer be up and running, but rest assured that your 20-year contribution to this community lives on. All the years of material research, supplies, helpful advice, and caring involvement, remain in our craft rooms, and in our hearts. You will be appreciated by all those you have touched, well into the future.

Thank you, Wise Wanderer! Even if Stampeaz never gets on its feet again, it has been a wonderful experience. I often said I had the best customers in the world - and I absolutely mean it. Big hugs!
That is a great accomplishment!!! And remember, our military people get to retire after 20 years and move onto something else. I know that wasn't your plan on how/when to move onto another adventure. However, give yourself Grace and hold your head high. Your impact is still going forward. Every time I walk upstairs at my daughters and see your print of the lighthouse, it reminds me of you and all you have shared of yourself. (and with 2 little ones, do you know how many times I go upstairs to change diapers ;j)

Aw! Thank you, Sheila! So, you're telling me that you get plenty of exercise and have no need of an elliptical or stair climbing machine, right? I'll bet those little ones keep you moving! :)
Congrats on almost 20 years, so close but then life happens!
I have so enjoyed your wonderful service and great selection of products it was so nice to purchase from someone that enjoyed letterboxing and knew our different product needs!
Thank you!

May I add another voice to the bounty of appreciation and gratitude, not just for your specialized cream of the crop product line, but for your servant's heart. Know that many feel this way without vocalizing it. TAP
Definitely don't need a stair climber. As to enough exercise. I don't think anyone gets enough. Busy, busy, moving all the time, but my body doesn't show it is getting any more trim lol!
