I recall the fun of buying a variety of stamps to get to 1.34 for instance. WHen I was at the PO this weekend I was so tempted to buy stamps just for the fun of it (DUH that's the point of stamp collecting) I could so easily start. I do have a few special sheets but I appreciate the chance to buy and send a few with some kind of &#Debra E.

Not glad it's happening in other locales, but glad it's not just me if you know what I mean.<br /><br />Good point about the authors. I never thought to stockpile author stamps. Thanks for the suggestion. :)Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759232889762510956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-43914105536761862612013-10-29T12:14:34.700-04:002013-10-29T12:14:34.700-04:00Oooh, I love stamps.

It's so much more fun to use stamps of flowers or Disney characters or authors!<br /><br />I've seen a few scribbles to cancel stamps, too, and I don't like it. It's ugly and yes, it does seem like it would take more time.<br /><br />Fun post, Anita.Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-88063411412819370812013-10-29T10:59:27.839-04:002013-10-29T10:59:27.839-04:00I know, eh.

As for the postie who cancelled the stamps and then scribbled as well, the thought came that he might be a disgruntled stamp collector.

I liked looking at it upon occasion mostly because there were stamps from all over the world in there, and I would imagine all those exotic places. I think my mom has the collection now. Not sure. The scribbling is strange. Seems like it would take more time. Lisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.com
