Folks,
Has there ever been any discussion about applying a self-adhesive
sticker instead of applying an ink stamp in a box's log book? It
would allow for a greater variety of artwork, I should think.

You could always start a new trend and see how it flies. Be brave! I'm sure there are some non-traditionalists out there who would be willing to go along.

The limestone box hidden by the shorewood folks in western MO has stickers.
We thought they were a great variation! I don't think that the sticker idea
is too far off the original "business card" letterbox. However, If the box
gets wet that might not be good for the stickers.

There's been a box in CT for at least a couple of years
with stickers in it. Very appropriate for this particular
box!

stickers are nice. I carry Butterfly stickers all the time and they
saved the day when I climbed Bear Mt. and found my stamp was in the
car.!! So Letterboxer 2002 --you have my sticker instead of my stamp in
all three boxes. Great boxes and lovely stamps you did a good job !!
thanks Butterfly in Ct.

Hi, I have recently started stamping white stick on labels ahead of
time and using these at the letterbox. I got the idea from Trish
Kurdziel. The reason I have started doing it is I like to use
different color inks on my stamp and then also color it in after the
ink dries. This takes a lot of time. When sitting in the woods
being eated by hungry mosquitos (and worse) the time for the ink to
dry feels like an eternity. Now I stamp in the leisure of my
airconditioned house and simply apply the label at the letterbox.
saves lots of time (and bug bites) and I get a better quality
stamping because if the stamp image smears I just throw that label
away. I hadn't thought of what happens of the box gets wet, but I
have seen some unreadable wet box journal where the ink was smeared
anyway.
