Sometimes the simplest things in life, give us pleasure….
Just printed and stuffed some Kids Pen Pal Lists to mail this morning. Felicity from England is going out today… so I put SIX coloful USA stamps on hers!
A pink rose, American flag, blue bird, apple, Santa, Uncle Sam… fun fun! Kids get excited opening their snail mail, but imagine a little girl in England getting something bright and colorful!
I never use all the “old” stamps I have… I use the postal machine, much easier, but I thought this little girl might get a real kick (her mom too) seeing all the USA stamps!
I know *I* do when I get mail that someone stuck a few different ones on it!
Happy Writing!
p.s. Wish the photo were better, but I need to get ready for work… and couldn’t resist reminding you to look for pretty, cute colorful stamps as they DO add to the snail mail excitement!

Hi Wendy,
I love the picture with all the stamps. I’ve recently met a pen pal who is a philatelist, so I’ve had a lovely time sending him letters with real stamps on them – sad that you have to ask specially at the post office these days.
I’m so happy to have discovered your website as I’m a compulsive stationery buyer and I really need more people to write to.
I was thinking about it this evening and decided that I really miss my grandmothers who were always pleased to receive a letter and who always wrote back!
Regards,
Julie
