It would have broken my heart to use my stamps. I'm just funny like that. (Plus not expert enough to recognize rare ones LOL) I still have the old albums Dad started with me as well. He always said the poorest countries had the most amazing stamp art (and he was right... ie. 1960's Albania)Monique (A Half-Baked Notion)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16227965573117684221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-70528922774249480372015-01-23T14:03:41.561-05:002015-01-23T14:03:41.561-05:00Awesome!

I appreciate that the USPS puts the artists names in the info - I mean people will recognize your creations as having a stamp in there, but its nice to be able to research and give credit. And best of all - that tiger stamp raises funds for conservation, doesn't it?

My husband and I enjoy visiting a local post office when we travel outside the USA. I shared a link to your post on FaceBook for members of the Greater Birmingham Bead Society (Alabama).

I KNOW your father is looking down and grinning.<br /><br />I wrote my daughter a letter every single day when she was in college AND I decorated the envelopes. I often incorporated the stamp into the envelope design.<br /><br />I had a "Woodstock on a telephone line" stamp and I'd extend the "telephone line" across the envelope and put bird stamps on the line.<br /><br />I had some 1 cent butterfly stamps and would often write one of my butterfly haiku on the envelope and put one of those butterfly stamps next to it.<br /><br />My daughter still has every one of those letters, ten years after graduation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023545217757195011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-18767320502656961342015-01-23T10:48:46.591-05:002015-01-23T10:48:46.591-05:00I collected stamps while growing up.

My daughter collects stamps now - she would love your dad's collection! I love that little tiger at the bottom and found it at the usps.com site and I've ordered some to make some pendants of!

I did use some a couple of years ago to make simple charm/pendants under resin, which was fun, and I think I need to revisit them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
