State Stamps

State Stamps

Who Knew? 

You know those cute little State Stamps that are on page 103?

 with more states online......

Want to know a cute use for them? Well besides cards?

Stamp the back or the front corner of snail mail that you are sending for a little hometown love.  When I given this tip I about flipped my lid - Happy girl over here!!!

Not only did I stamp the envelopes that I use to send letters to Kaela but I am also going to stamp the back of all of my Christmas cards.  

These little stamps are only $2.95 each so it is affordable to buy every stamp in the nation or just the states that you have lived in.

BUT

What ever you do ... do not do what I did!!!

I accidentally grabbed my Archival Black Stamp pad and now my stamp is forever stained black. 

 It will not hurt the stamp, in fact now if I drop it on the carpet I will be able to find it again - but it will never again be clear.  

I think I will keep this little stamp in my letter writing box.

This box has my address book, envelopes, my return address stamp, some washi tape, pens, and notebook paper, and stickers.  I type out and print Kaela's letters 90% of the time but if we go camping I can just grab this box and take it with us.  That way I can mail letters from the road.  I have mini version of this box in my travel bag that goes with me when I fly. 

Speaking of letter to Kaela, I guess I should go and get one put in the mail.

Happy Scrapping!
