One of the few things I have managed to get done this month is to put together our latest winter newsletter. I don't get it done very often--maybe every couple of years--but I guess I was feeling like we've accomplished a lot and I wanted to share with the family (who don't follow the blog).
We checked with the post office for holiday stamps and all they had were boring santa ones. I wanted something wintery, and not too religious. The post office told us to buy online. We actually found some lovely options with period art we almost bought, but then I decided I would play around with the custom stamp.
You can basically design your own stamps and buy them from zazzle.com. How fun is that? I just had to do it!
Too bad we cannot buy forever stamps, otherwise I would have bought a ton of them. Unfortunately, we use maybe 10 stamps a year, not including holiday letters. So, I only bought enough for this particular mailing. I didn't calculate the premium I paid; it's possible I don't want to know. But this was just too fun to pass up.
Unfortunately, now I have to wait to mail my letters until these arrive; bad planning on my part.

Great blog. I love your home! You've done a great job restoring it. It reminds me a lot of my own 1912 Craftsman home in Utah. I appreciate seeing thoughtful restoration instead of "re-muddling".
