I really think all the rejected postal workers go on to become TSA workers.....
LOL you know that i live in germany, right? how am i supposed to know what TSA means? but after asking a very good search engine about it, i can only agree with you!!
today i went and got cards
i filled em out
a lot of work believe me
who gets what card? :crazy:
fuck
um
ok
now it's the "who gets what stamp game" with your host, "chadwick" :shock:
who's name looks like this stamp? :wtf:
so many choices so many people
so much time
a few bowls
a few pills
cold drinking water
i made it halfway through the process
everybody has a card
it's ironed out this far and envelopes are addressed
i noticed, that all cards i got from the states have the same stamps :P
Yes Degi...the US has many many many beautiful stamps for the US (visit USPS.com and click on 'stamps') and only one UGLY stamp for 'International' mail...went like this:
me: do you have 'international' stamps'
him: 'huh?'
me: 'international stamps, air mail, I'm sending cards to the UK
him: 'international?'
me: :x 'yes, the UK, Greece, Australia, Canada....?'
him: 'oh! :idea: ...uh yeah...' *shows me the ugly Grand Tetons stamp*
me: 'you don't have holiday themed ones?'
him: 'why would we make holiday themed ones?'
me: (thinking 'uh cuz the Americans are not the only ones that celebrate the holidays!') ok, guess I'll just take those ugly ones
him: okey-dokey...have a nice day!
me: *thinking merry f&*%$!@# holidays to you too*
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

SEE???? thats what i'm talking about... post offices... screw them!!!!!! i will fucking mix my cards twice before giving them to her, maybe i will find peope from countries she doesnt even know to send bloody cards to just to embarrass her because she has to look them up on a map first...
i just looked at todays envelope again and the really smart person that i recieved a card from today simply "mixed" differents stamps to make it the 98cents she needed, i LOVE that!!!

I was gonna do that, but my cards are on the small side, so I'm stuck with using a single stamp. One card I got from the UK has Gommit on it...it's SO cute! I love Wallace and Grommit....

I have a few from the Facebook PJ crowd that are lovely as well; ....much love from all over our Earth.
Rebecca, Janet & Mike, Nabil, Stephanie, and Fyfe....I adore them all!
Its' just beautiful and heart warming to see how much love we share
AND from one special dude, a self-titled Pearl Jam album cassette, yes I said cassette, '93, in MINT condition, even the tiny little folded up liner notes in the cassette box look as if they've never been touched. Of course, I don't have a cassette player any more, but this will go in a special place with my Pearl Jam keepsakes forever. All the way from Casablanca, Morocco. Isn't that special? Thanks Nabil! Truly awesome!
I have finished five, they take MUCH longer than I thought they would,
so the other five plus some more I'm sending out will be "sorta" hand made but NOT the paper.
I'll use my watercolor pad or sketch pad and some embellishments but no more paper making with me
(I do have to admit that the paper-making project would have been Soooooooo much easier without the local "gang" of toddlers muddling about in it lol! But it was fun for them too)
So, whoever gets the homemade paper ones, even though I'm not as happy with them as I'd like,
please know that I poured a lot of love into those silly things.
I hope you'll like them
peace,
jo

I'm sure you did fine Jo, I have finally finished all of my cards, just need to write some 'good tidings and holiday cheer' in them and send off the ones I have stamps for!
Just a little hint...they are all slightly different
I didn't want to 'discourage' you from paper making... but I know how : :x " they can be! after lots of practice, it gets a lot easier!

Thanks for the "heads up" LOL!!!
I remember making paper years ago, and it didn't seem to be this much "fun" but the band of toddlers surely added to the amount of time it takes these days. Ahhhh...nothing better than being Grandma! And oh so young I am to be Grandma too..can you imagine heheheheeeee (you know i had my first child when i was the tender age of 4 years old right? that would explain how i got to be grandma at 29....anyway, so if you fell for that one (ehemmm..chadwick?) i've got this lot in florida, i need to sell..just ask erik estrada, not too many alligators, and its only swampy in the springtime..0

I ordered stamps on Monday the 29th. I get a message, "Thank-you for your order, It will be processed and shipped within one business day'
I figure:
I wait...and wait... :roll: Tuesday goes by...Wednesday...On Thursday at 6pm I get an email: 'Thank-you! Your order has shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Your order will arrive in 3-5 business days' :twisted: Since when is Tuesday to Thursday night 'One Business Day'?!? If that is their math, I won't get my stamps until after Christmas! I should have dealt with all the grumpity grumps at the post office and gone there in person....ah well...the wait will be worth it!
