I love writing real mail, snail mail, hold in your hand mail....
I love decorating my mail except for bills, I think the envelope
should be as fun as the note
card or letter in side.
Even the the stamps should be interesting. I look for the most fun,
exciting or appropriate
stamp to put on the mailer.
Thank you Eryl your "Fireball XL5" is a most fabulous stamp and is
being added to my collection.
Not always finding stamps I like I found a USPS web-site that you can
design your own stamps.
I am so there !
These are four of my first tries. The stormy cloud one is the lest
effective. It is a wonderful photo
but gets lost in a small stamp format. The Two Square Dogs are always
so black that if it
wasn't for the little pink tongues you could never find their sweet
little faces awwwwwwww !
The cactus bloom and the exciting rain storm seem to work best.
I could become very addicted to this web site !

Very cool stamps and timely for me because I happen to be at a stamp convention in Charleston SC right now. Got a bucket of used stamps for $5 in addition to some amazing ephemera and old covers from the 1800's and on.
ReplyDeleteWho knew a stamp convention could be so fun?!
How neat that you can design your own.

I thought about doing this for a friend's Christmas present (photos of their daughters) and completely forgot! Thanks for the reminder, was wondering how they come out. I think yours are great :)
ReplyDeleteI just received your valentine with your new beautiful stamps on it! I was so happy to see them, they are so fabulous <3
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely stamps ap - it would be lovely to get a letter with something so cheerful on it.
ReplyDeleteThese days of e mail mean that real letters are rare and that is sad.
I am totally going to check that out right now! What fun, and your stamps are lovely.
ReplyDeleteNuminosity...
ReplyDeleteI just read your post. I am so envious of your trip to the stamp show. I would be there at the dollor bin too !

What a great idea for a gift. Fun useful and you don't have to dust it !
One year I picked out return address labels with special photos on them for friends.
mollybot...
Yea ! I am so glad you got the mail.

I like e-mail and it is useful especially with my children all over the world but a letter is Gold !
Eryl...
For me it was the United States Postal Service web site that takes you to the "Picture It Postage by Endicia" site. it was so easy and fun I am so addicted !
I kind of like the one with the stormy clouds. If the picture loses something when shrunk, it must REALLY look good when enlarged.
ReplyDeleteI love sending and receiving snail mail too. Your stamps really are beautiful; what a fun project!
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty...
ReplyDeleteThere's something magical about snail mail, isnt there?
Those little pink tongues got my vote:)
ReplyDeleteI love the top one of the night sky.
