Now that is one ring I HAD to jump in on! Especially with how far away it is. THis will give me plenty of time to think about what to give away. I am in so many LTC swaps between now and then that I MAYend up recycling one or more LTC carvings this way.

Can I make one small suggestion? I think you should require that the stamp(s) you take be planted(or released as a HH, or repurposed as a PT). I know there is no way to police that. But it should be the reason someone is taking your stamp. I carve so many stamps, and I want to see my carvings acctually used. I know I would be pretty excited to see one of my stamps planted half way accross the country for people to enjoy.

My daughter did something like this as a door to door "bigger or better" scavenger hunt with her youth group a few years ago. They ended up with a giant teddy bear! I read a book written by Canadian man who started out in 2005 with a paperclip, and one year later had traded up to a HOUSE! His name is Kyle MacDonald and the book is called "One Red Paperclip" . It was a fun read. Here is a wikipedia list of his trades:

That is what JACKS based the first 3 rings on... many years ago. I'm just revisiting the idea of another ; )
