Another newbie?

Can you handle one more newbie?! :-) I started letterboxing with my
son (5) and 2 nieces (3 & 7) just last week- we're hooked! I haven't
carved a stamp yet & the kids are too small for an exacto knife, but
the kids and I used foam stickers and our own cutouts from foam sheets
to make each of us a stamp. We got our logbooks and off we went! I
was worried that they would lose interest when we couldn't find the
first one we tried, but all that was forgotten when we found Bear Am I-
they (and I) were SO excited! We've picked up three more stamps
since then. Thanks so much to eveyone who has taken their time and
talent to create and plant these boxes! We're hoping to add one of
our own soon.

I have a letterboxing etiquette question, though- I have tried to
minimize the space we take up with our stamps (since there are 4 of
us) by using both sides of a page, but I was worried that it might be
considered "bad manners" for a group to add individual stamps...should
I be working on a single family stamp?

Thanks, in advance, for your input!
