Boxing Buddies

Well, with my feelers out all the time on this topic, I have come across a wonderfully fun idea from jacks (who is a long-time boxer)......Boxing Buddies. These are little stuffed animals (or stuffed whatevers) that carry their own stamp and logbooks. They will travel through the mail to a host family who has offered to take them on a letterboxing trip with them. The host family will take pictures of the buddy along the trail to document its travels and include the pictures in the buddy's logbook along with whatever stamp from the hunted box and any exchanges the buddy made while on it's adventure.

Right after I learned about this, Fin and I were in Ben Franklin's Craft store and they were having a half off sale on some of their beanie babies. Perfect timing! We picked out a couple to make buddies out of and are steadily working on a plan for their stamps. This should be quite fun. I can't wait to see the logbook of one of our buddies. I thought about setting up another blog for each buddy, but that seems overwhelming. I may just include them in this blog as it is part of letterboxing. We'll see. I'll give it some more thought and make a decision soon. In the mean time, keep your eyes peeled for boxing buddies.
