I was also thinking about all of those who would not log the find at all if they were left to online logbooks. More than half of the finders of my boxes don't log finds online. I'd never know . . .

I agree with this! Most of the boxes I planted in FL only are found my the casual letterboxer on vacation. Take my She Loves Me Knot box in St. Augustine. The 3rd or 4th peron to record their find online was telling me that the logbook was full! What?! Sure enough, it was! It's now on logbook 3 or 4... with well over 100 finders... many more than have recorded here! And, the stamps come from all over the country and several from other countries! I'd never know of all the people who have enjoyed this box without my logbooks.

...someone rotated the sign!

Haha! That's funny! Not so for unfortunate travelers though. :)

I tape this disclaimer onto the box:

Wow! That is a very good idea! Mind if I do the same?

At first I thought this thread was Letterboxing Guilt!

Maybe that would be the theme of the quilt.

I would love to be in a Survivor PLB ring

Looks a lot like the cake for the "father and son cake bake" for cub scouts last year, here at my house.

Of course, short of the authentic pirouline log cabin and tootsie roll fire.

Yay! Extra rations of yummy canned cat food for her! So glad she came home, and so glad she's okay. Sleep well, all of you! :)

I've mailed complete lists of addresses in order (sorry nightwriter if it was me) of the ring... and I've also sent individual addresses to everyone in rings. For some reason - when I send individual address - I have to resend them frequently as people tend to loose them... the complete lists people tend to archive (just a guess).

I have received both, individual addresses and a complete list of the ring. I ALWAYS archive the complete list b/c in the past I would be participating in so many rings at the same time that it was easy to forget who I was mailing to in which ring! (I have since stopped that "insanity" ;) and now try to limit myself to a max of 3 rings at any one time.) Personally, I prefer the whole list, however, I respect whatever decision the ring leader makes in how the addresses are dispersed.

Okay, I'll bite. I will start it as a Postal ring!!

It is done!!

I am wondering what is the best material to use for mounting and what you use to mount the stamp to the material. I have a large stamp that I want to mount and have never done it before.

Thanks.

CBS's Survivor series will now be immortalized in postal form. Who's ready??

I mount all my stamps on 6mm craft foam. Door hangers are cheapest for me

I LOVE that your story has a happy ending. There is certainly a mysterious side to cats-they go on adventures and we just have to guess where they've been and what they've done.
Congratulations!!

I concur with the 6 mm craft foam. If you need a bigger sheet of it, stampeaz.com has sheets.

No, you are not alone, Wyvern. Bookmaking has become my favorite part of the creation process. I really enjoy seeing hand carved stamps AND handmade books.

Additionally, it is part of the fun to stamp in as well as collect the stamp. As a novelty, the on-line or other type of sign-in spots are fun ideas, but as "the norm" I will most likely stay traditional.

The boxes from the Country Comforts series have started returning home. If anyone missed out the first time and would like to receive these boxes, please AQ mail me. Here is the link to the first tracker and info:

Have a great day!

How large is the stamp? What material is it?

Like others have already suggested I use the 6mm craft foam. Perfect glue #1 is very good for attaching the stamp to the backing.

I agree. I'm new to boxing (Dec 2006), but I can tell you that every box I find has a story. The chapters are the stamps each previous finder has left in the logbook. It's part of the intrigue to see who stamped in and where they are from. I hope the logbooks to not become extinct.

They're kidding, right?

I know, I am pushie. :}

Please!!! I need in! Survivor :} Only 2 more days!!!!

I had to make sure it wasn't mine. I had one that I couldn't get to go as a mystery box and ended up having to put in the address. I was so frustrated.

CP

We use the foam and GOOP, household goop, it stinks, but work amazingly!!!
~littlmoon

I agree with the foam. I use E 6000 craft adhesive. This stuff is waterproof and flexible which I think is important for stamping. I also use a thin, 8mm maybe, piece of wood. Thiese can be found in all shapes and sizes at your local craft store. First I glue the foam to the stamp and allow that to dry, then I attach the foam to the wood. Good luck!:)
