The first two photos are outgoing by me. One was a TPC(Traveling Postcard)card about stamp math. The 2nd was an exchange also wanting maximum stamp math on a postcard. The 3rd photo is the original TPC I received before I sent back out the TPC in the first photo. Then I went to the post office yesterday and looked through their box of stamps and picked up a few. I also thanked again the post lady who canceled all 70 of my WPD postcards.

I just got in a lot of stamps from two different eBay sellers. Some of my favorite stamps are the Nature of America series which I’m currently in the process of trying to collect so I can use them. I also really love the 50-state stamps because they are so vibrant and detailed plus they are so different from the other 50-state ones with the birds which I also love. I honestly love all of the stamps I got. I started getting my Christmas 🎄 stamps and now need to find some higher denomination ones. The last photo is the stamps one of the stamp sets came in and I loved all the stamps he used.

I love the first one the most.

Only one to send today because I’m ramping up for World Postcard Day. I love the penguin stamp and I’m so happy I got them.

I just ordered a bunch of these from Vistaprint. I used a stencil for the envelopes. I used die cuts for the hearts and butterflies in glitter paper. I’m not sure if you can tell it’s glitter paper. I’m just curious if it’s good enough for WPD. Also, I couldn’t have done it without my husband who helped me out on Photoshop to do a bunch of editing and adding the words. What do think? Is it cute or is it a good representation for WPD? It’s too late to change it because I already sent the file to Vistaprint.

I’m behind like normal posting my outgoing for the week. The first photo is mainly of packaging I added stamps to before I went to the stamp show.

This is outgoing from the last couple of days. It’s incoming from yesterday. The Kids Care stamp sheet is one I got at the stamp show which has been a lot of fun to use. Unfortunately I’m already halfway through the stamps and I think they are so cute.

These envelopes were done before I got my stamp show haul on Saturday that is why none of them are used in this photo. Someone I’m mailing to likes the Olympics and so I was happy to be able to cater to her likes.

I went overboard on buying stamps, what a surprise 🤣. Just a reminder this was my first stamp show that I have gone to which is why I went overboard. I got some stamps at 50% of FV and a lot at FV but they were what I would call premium stamps because I normally see theses stamps for over FV or quite a bit over face value like the 22 cent state birds stamps which I got at face value so I got a couple sheets..lol. I got multiples of some sheets because they were FV, so I could use them. We must not name here what I do with the other stamps I got since it’s not allowed on this subreddit. I was definitely much younger than most of the people there and also being a female I stood out against a bunch of older men. There were a few women who came with their husbands but I stood out. I also stood out for not collecting actual stamps or looking for a specific type since I was mainly looking for stamps to use in mailing. I confused people for sure but they seemed very nice and happy to have me there and especially happy to take my money 🤣. I was under the impression I am supposed to barter with the stamp dealers because most of them gave me some sort of discount off the all the stamps I got when I didn’t barter with them. Are you supposed to barter over the price at a stamp show or does it just depend on the show? I had a wonderful time and will go again when they there is another one. I am worried if I start going to the stamp club get togethers monthly I will not fit in since I don’t collect per se specific stamps but mainly use all my stamps for mailing. I know I went crazy! You don’t have to tell me.

I keep forgetting to share my recent envelopes so here they are.

My recent outgoing mail.

I’ve really been into small denominations stamps for some reason so I got 400 American Kestrel 1 cent stamps which I can’t wait to start using.

End of last week outgoing that I forgot to post.

I got some small denominations stamps this week in the mail and I’m really excited. I’ve already used the Tiffany lamp and 1 cent apple stamp on a card. I just got the Navajo jewelry in the mail today so I haven’t had time to use it but I’m excited because they are beautiful.

Thank you so very much to u/nothankyou928 and u/craftymonmon for sending me a thank you card and being so generous and sending me a bunch of stamps!! It was incredibly thoughtful to send me stamps and I greatly appreciate it! I love the vintage and the new stamps especially the fruit small denominations. Also I love using Olympic stamps and have quite a few so thank you for adding to my collection to use.

I just got delivered my new addition ounce stamps and I’m SO EXCITED 🎉!! I got a 90 roll of the penguins and 2x100 rolls of the brush rabbits. I can’t wait to use them especially the penguins since I’ve never seen them before.
