Stamp Advent Calendar
Hey letterboxing friends! I'm new here and am not 100% sure this is how to make such a request or if there's a better method (so any tips are welcomed!), but here goes:
I'm attempting to make myself an Advent calendar for Christmas. It's been a rough year full of grief and this is the first Christmas I am spending alone. So, in trying to bring holiday cheer to myself, I got a cute little wooden advent calendar with drawers and I thought....wouldn't it be neat to fill it with stamps? My favorite thing ever is to be surprised, so carving the stamps myself would defeat the purpose, but maybe the larger letterboxing community would like to carve one for me, and mail it to me (wrapped in paper so I can't see the design) and I could fill my advent calendar with lovely artwork from all over.
Then I could plant them here where I live or as hitchhikers :) and I can 100% credit the artists if you so desire!
I don't have any requirements on designs (aside from the fact that I'm not religious so religious Christmas imagery wouldn't be my jam), I'd be most excited to see whatever you really enjoy carving, or would have fun with. The drawers in the calendar are 1.5” cubes (2" on the diagonal) so the max size would be 2"X1.5" to fit in the drawer. And ideally it would be nice to have them before December 1st, although I realize that may be short notice! I'm hoping though that since it's such small stamps with full creative license, that each stamp won't take much work and therefore not a lot of time would be needed.
I guess, send me a message here on AQ if you're interested? And I can send you my address? Thanks all, and happy holidays.
