Hi Jay,
Glad you had a chance to run over to the island for Teddy's box. I tried to
place boxes in the same park that you did as my way of thanking you for
hiding boxes down here. I have never used the acetone technique. I just use
tracing paper or draw freehand with a pencil and then turn it over onto the
stamp and rub it with the back of the pencil or fingernail to transfer the
image onto the stamp and then use those lineoleom carving tools to carve the
image. I was useing an exacto knife to carve with but the carving tools work
best and faster.

I have never had a log book fill up but the way I make them I can always add
pages. I cut out paper the size I want from scrap paper and add a harder
cover and then punch holes into it and fasten them together with those little
nail looking buttons that split in the back to keep it all together. All of
my log books and stamps are less than a year old and have had very few
visitors. Who knows what will happen in time. I have used those spiral
booklets with lines when I was in a hurry but I don't don't really like them.
I have been going for quantity rather than quality but that may change as
more people get involved in the mid-atlantic area.
Happy hiding,
Squirrel
