I'm guessing I'm not the only one with a stockpile of out of date stamps from before the Forever Stamps. And I have plenty of 1 cent...and 2 cent that we used to need to fill in the gaps.
I was so excited when I came up with the idea of puzzling these odd stamps together for my tag mailings. In some ways it's going to feel like the mailings are free! Here are my current stats:
256 pairs of underwear ordered.
30 kits mailed or delivered as of today.
Approximately 150 tags distributed.
I'm so pleased.
This little parade of stamps on these envelopes tickle me pink.
Do you know what else tickles me? I cut off the blooms from the first amaryllis stem today. They are as dry as they're going to get...and just look how beautiful they still are.
As is the color combo that landed on this tiny hope tag. They just make me happy!
Brilliant use for those stamps, MaryAnn, and very much in keeping with the spirit of this whole project. 256 pairs of undies ordered already—OUTSTANDING!
ReplyDeleteAnd look at those amaryllis blooms, will ya??! They have presence from start to finish!
I thought using up old stamps fit the spirit of the project too! Thanks for noticing that Dotty.
DeleteI think a dried bloom is just a beautiful as a fresh one! Having presence...is a good way to describe them!
Oh, MaryAnn! What an outstanding labor of love your are working on. Underwear is so important, not only for hygiene, but for personal dignity. I'm so impressed and proud to be a part of this.... and to be your friend. ♥️
ReplyDeleteThank you Roseanne for your kinds words, and especially for taking part and being such a supportive friend. I'm pretty excited about the progress! I just hope my hands hold up.
DeleteCongratulations on 256 pairs of new underwear. The recipients will be ecstatic!
ReplyDeleteThank you! When I first started I wasn't sure if 500 pairs was realistic, but I'm beginning to think that it might be!
