Leap Year's Day
Hey, it's the blog's first leap day!
Over at IUOMA there is a clock-lovers group, and we decided to send Leap Year's Day mail. Here's the pile ready to go out to MomKat, Heleen, Artist in Seine, Ryosuke, Tony and Erin:

I thought more people would sign up for this, and made several extra packets which went out to Ruud, Ti Ar Raden, Eva, Erni, Philippe, Steve and Tony.
Happy Leap Year's Day, everyone.

Spontaneous mail from Nick J, and Sunday Stamps
Nick J from IUOMA sent me spontaneous mail consisting of photocopied sheets and some cut out 'stamps'. Not sure what to make of photocopied mail sheets as mail art... I know a lot of people do it... I have sent out minizines, which are also photocopied. Is there a difference?
The stamp he used is the latest in the USPS Hollywood Legends series, featuring multiple Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy-winner Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982). Casablanca is probably her most famous film role, however her Academy Awards were for he parts in Gaslight (1944), Anastasia (1956) and Murder on the Orient Express (1974).
Her final role was a television miniseries about former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir (1898-1978, in office as Israel's 4th PM 1969-1974) that was released in 1982, and filmed while she was ill and dying from cancer, for which she won an Emmy and a Golden Globe. She died a few months after filming ended, passing away on her 67th birthday.
Here's the full sheet.
This was a joint issue with Sweden, although unfortunately we don't get to use the Swedish designs, which are different. At first I didn't like the US version much, however it is growing on me, and looks quite striking on envelopes.
The Swedish version comes in two different styles - I really like the one on the left.
