stamps--Size Really DOESN'T Matter

Be a space hog and be proud!

I have one letterbox log book which is like 2" X 1 1/4" -- in that situation, you could imprint a cropped view of your stamp -- art neuvo. Sounds like your stamp would fit most logs -- just write on the backside of your stamp's page if it doesn't?

You have an opportunity for some creative stamping, I'd say!
