For today's FS and Holly's VSN-I smell snow. Yes, I can smell rain and I think I can smell snow...it's a gift, you know.
I named my card the same as Jo Ann named hers: WT872 - Snowflake Triad by Jo Ann F. at Splitcoaststampers
The snowflake triad is about the only thing I kept. I'm continuing with using stash backgrounds and my collection of postage stamps, old and new, from other countries. I particularly like the Canadian one in the middle.
Amazing how inexpensive stamps were when I was young. I know people think they're too expensive now, people don't mail many letters or cards, but if we don't support the USPS, will we go back to the Pony Express or Wells Fargo for our mail? Don't think that's a good idea. I feel like stamps are little works of art and an example of our daily living, which is always changing.

Great card! I love those gold snowflakes and the Christmas stamps you have used. I really like how you are using those stamps. T have also always thought of them as tiny works of art.

Such a cool card with the embossed snowflakes with the sequins and did you use Stickles in the centers? I am taking notes, lol. Your vintage stamps look wonderful!

Wow, you are rocking those stamp cards. Another fun, colorful addition to your stash.
I agree with supporting the USPS and we also try to support the Post Office in my hubby's small home town by buying all our stamps from them (we are in So Cal and they are in Falun, KS). They already have been cut to part-time staff there and we would hate to see them closed. Revenue from postage sells is one of the things that really help when decision time comes. So, if anyone is from a small town, you might want to think about supporting them too.

Great stamps! Great snowflakes. Great combination, Jean!
I totally agree with you - we need to support the postal service!
Hugz and Merry Christmas.

I like your golden snowflakes and you have the best collection of postage stamps of anyone! I totally agree with you about supporting the Post Office, and if you look at how much people in other countries have to spend on postage, we really should feel grateful for what it costs us.
