I went to Paddington markets with a friend on the weekend. My aim was to spend the birthday money she had given me. I wanted to pick up something special that I wouldn't usually spend money on, something a little out of the ordinary. This fitted the bill. 
A hand-carved stamp of my logo from stone. Done by a very talented little old man in less than half an hour. Mission accomplished!

What a great way to spend birthday money. Great choice.
Such a great gift for yourself! The logo is beautiful as well - it looks perfect in stamp form.
That is fantastic. My dad had one made with his initials when he was in China. I remember I wanted one soo bad.
Nice purchase! That's so cool! You can stamp everything that's not already branded! Well done :)
birthday money well spent, i'd say!
Wow, that looks great. Did he just copy it off your business card?
Sounds like a fun 4th birthday too!!
I guess it was your best choice!!! never regret the money you spent on this! I wouldn't!!

Hi Kristen! Really glad to have found your blog and I enjoy reading what you put up. My name is Clara and I'm an editor of tips of all sorts dot com and i've heard of this tip on how to make your stamp print evenly on paper, so here goes...wet the paper first, very lightly e.g. with a q-tip, and the ink should spread out nicely on the paper when you stamp. Hope this tip will come in handy. :-)
Velly nice for pritty ladee.
Chinese stamps are always so beautiful and evocative.
