My youngest son, Lil Ewok, has been letterboxing since before he was born. We started boxing in 2010 and he was born in 2012. My other children were interested in boxing and stamp carving right away. The Princess carved her first stamp when she was 4 years old. For some reason, Lil Ewok has just now got the stamp carving bug. He carved his first stamps this week. He really likes turtles, so I transferred this image to rubber for him and he did the rest. Then he got into my scrap bucket and carved 3 other stamps that he drew himself. He is pretty proud :)
Lil Ewok has been using the same signature stamp forever. In 2016, we went to a Homerdoodle event. On the way home, my kids complained about having to stamp their stamps and write their trail names in all of the tabletop boxes. I decided I would carve them new stamps with their names on them. At this time, my 2 older kids changed their trail names and everyone got a new stamp but Lil Ewok. We are going back to Homerdoodle this weekend and I have carved a new sig stamp for Lil Ewok. Hopefully the rain they are forecasting will keep away.
