Sophia (phiaTcreates) and I just finished packing these limited edition sticker packs for our upcoming Father-Daughter Road Trip on Route 66! Each sticker is the orginal creation of PhiaT.
We will be sharing these with our partners and collaborators along the way. We will also have some for sale along the route to help us pay for gas!
Grab a pack of these exclusive Centennial Anniversary stickers to commemorate Route 66’s 100th Anniversary, or grab one to contribute to our aforementioned gas fund. :-) Either way, we appreciate you!
Shipping is FREE! However, we can only ship to the continental United States at this time.
If you live somewhere else and really want a sticker pack, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we will try to assist you.
