Carroll sent me this great envelope that arrived this week on the first day of the Year of the Boar. Carroll always makes such interesting faux stamps.
With a great house (for smurfs? dwarves?) on the back.
Inside was a nice new year card, complete with suggested resolutions.
The card even has a blank space for you to add your own. I hope Carroll doesn't mind my sharing hers. They seem to be the same as mine :)
And if you want to create your own, here you go:
Did you make any resolutions? How are you doing at keeping them?
An unusual subject for a stamp, given that John Lennon was not a US citizen, putting him up there with the likes of William Shakespeare. Unlike Shakespeare, he did have permanent residence at the time of his death, although there were times in the past that he was denied entry into the US due to his anti-Vietnam war stance.
The stamps are issued in the usual pane of 16 designed to look like a record sleeve for the Music Icons series. Unique to the series (so far) is that there are four different versions of the stamp due to the change in color.
I received one of them on this excellent piece of mail art from Keith C.
And the other side... which reminds me that Halloween is not far off.
