Sunday Stamps - commemoratives

I sent this paper bag to Eric. The John F Kennedy stamp issued this year commemorates the centenary of his birth. The West Virginia stamp issued in 2013 commemorates the 150th anniversary of that state's admission to the Union.



I recently used the West Virginia statehood stamp on an envelope to Susan.



And a stamp from 2016 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Star Trek's debut on television. This is one of a set of four stamps on an envelope to Carroll.




Here's a stamp on an envelope I received from Katerina in Greece. It is one of five that celebrates the 150th anniversary of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, and features the god Poseidon.





Katerina also included this piece of mail art inside her envelope.

Le Pain

Eric sent me this great bag - apparently it holds two baguettes :) Great matching stamps, and a wonderful monkey stamp, too.

Full moon today

These are the moons I sent out for the February envelope exchange.








And a bonus moon envelope to Eric, showing his birthday month. The writing and moons glow in the dark.

Inkblot Monday, part 1

For the next several Mondays I'm going to be showing the inkblots that I sent in and received for an MMSA challenge titled 'Rorschach on the Fold'.

Hopefully you'll play along and share what you see in the inkblots. 




I'll be back in a week to see what you thought, and to share what my brain came up with.
