  1. Yes it is, Tom. :)

    I feel compelled to buy a sheet of these stamps, but I'd just forget about them in some closet, so...

    Anyway, thanks for dropping by.

  2. really? No use? I still send out alot of notes and letters, so I bought several sheets and I'll use up a bunch, and save one sheet. I might frame it together with some of the other sheets I hve then hang it on the wall where I could at it

  3. I would feel guilty (!) using a collector's item and I'd never get around to framing them, hence the reason I seldom buy the stamps. It's really a shame. :)
