Feel bad posting so early but a trip to the Post Office involves walking and I am not too good at that these days so had to do as much as I could while I was there, much to the frustrations of those behind me in the queue sadly.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-80873757260679496992019-12-07T14:14:42.125+00:002019-12-07T14:14:42.125+00:00I have to say I am somewhat underwhelmed with this...I have to say I am somewhat underwhelmed with this years stamps.

Then there's the pain of self-adhesives and the difficulty of mounting them. There are quite a few ideas on YouTube for getting the pesky things off the envelopes.<br />I rather like this year's Christmas issue; I bought some this morning.callmemadamhttps://callmemadam.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-44271364055126697352019-12-07T10:37:06.415+00:002019-12-07T10:37:06.415+00:00Those 1994 ones look a bit grim.

As I am TRYING to declutter my stuff I did think about getting rid of them, BUT they tell stories of our inheritance and traditions and I don't have the heart to be rid of them. They are much more colourful and imaginative than this years. <br />I also have the Millenium stamps in the loft.<br /><br />As you can imagine I am not impressed with the present way of computerized bits of paper stuck on envelopes in place of the stamps.

I remember being thrilled more with the stamps than the cards when I was a child.<br />Also the cards were more interesting them (or am I looking back with rose coloured glasses, lol) Lot of the cards would have glitter on them back then.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-43239106005546830342019-12-07T08:44:49.870+00:002019-12-07T08:44:49.870+00:00If you want to fill in any of the gaps since 2003 ...If you want to fill in any of the gaps since 2003 I may be able to help you - but only the 1st and 2nd class - I may have some spares since that time as I collect the Christmas stamps but they are not neatly displayed like yours just in an old envelope.<br />Lovely to post to remind us of what has gone before.wherethejourneytakesmehttps://wherethejourneytakesme2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-58068980735356295642019-12-07T08:36:19.592+00:002019-12-07T08:36:19.592+00:00I loved the 1994 ones with the children.

Royal Mail alternate Christian and secular designs on their Christmas stamps, but you can still ask for last year's ones, if you are like me and want to remind people that Jesus Is The Reason For The SeasonAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-75477325359809737132019-12-07T08:03:25.016+00:002019-12-07T08:03:25.016+00:00Great collection.
