Christmas or Decemberstamps

You see them in this part of the year. The Christmas or December stamps. Here the stamps from GB, like this kind of stamps. Think the designers are very happy too.

 

 

What do you like for seasonstamps? Or is it overdone and are there enough stamps to use.

Merry Christmas and a good 2009

Wish all my readers of this blog a merry Christmas and a good and healthy 2009.

Personal december stamp

At the end of the year we do mail some christmas cards to friends and family. Now here your see my version of a personal christmasstamp. It is a pitty my wife don't like these on our mail.....

But no problem, I use them for my philatelic friends who maybe like such a personalized stamp.

There must be a lot better designs, I know, and maybe I will order some next week.

See that this is my 399th message on my blog. I am looking for a good subject for nr. 400.

New Personal Stamp

Here in the Netherlands we have a special rating for our Decembermail (Christmas and New Year as you understand) Also new stamps for this and also personal stamps. Like to combine my Chickenstamps with the Personal stamps. Easy to do, only a matter of €€€€. .

Do I say "only"?? These day's we al loose our confidence in banks and govnerments....(nothing new I think) but I still need stamps to -snail- mail around the world. Show you a new "design" here of a nice card I receive last year. If you want one, let me know......

Dark Days Before Christmas

Here you see a chicken. Metal with transparant green glass. Insite you can place a spirit-stove.

Matbe it is a spirit-stove thans also possible. In the dark it gives a nice green light. See what happens with the lettertype. Its also nice and I won't change it today.

Great your all looking here........

Christmas stamps

Think it is nice you can design your own christmas stamps. Did found a nice picture and make some stamps of it.

Two little dogs are on the stamp as you can see. Thats good for three topics, christmas stamps,dogs and personal stamps.

Use them for ,indeed some christmascards I will sent around. Show you the stamp here.

Lottery stamps

New marketingthings with the Dutch stamps. At the end of the year there are 2 different kind of stamps. Cheaper for the end of the year mail. 0,29 in stead of 0,44 cents for greetingcards. Als of course other mail, who could look inside. Now we have these stamps with a lot of snowthings on them.

The other stamps has a part you can open with a coin or so. Then you see the message : no price or you can win 50 euro and more. Biggest price is 50.000 Euro (so $ 75.000.= ) You have to share a price with the receiver of the stamp so both will get half the money. Good thinking otherwise you won't stick any stamp on a letter but open them all.

You can see the picture below.

Wonderful Covers

Today three nice covers with nice stamps on them on my doorstep. Russia, Canada and Australia. Very nice things on and in them. Show an envelop from Alexander. We don't have such nice printed covers. Only cheap white envelops in the shops with no body. Maybe a market for them in The Netherlands....?? On the cover two stamps showing the empire-sword and shield. You can find them , and more, in the Kremlinmusea, Moskow. They existed 200 years in 2006, thats why there was an issue on 2006-03-06 with stamps, minisheet and sheets.

Christmas

Don't have any scans here to show. Not at home with these days. Wish you all nice Christmas.

Did visit yesterday a local stampshop in my birthdayplace to get some new pages for my albums. I was to early, the only issue whats now availeble is for a brand I don't have, My Dutch pages will come half of January and for the other countries half of April, so I have to wait.

Did see a lot in that shop, but could not find what I want. Cheap day, only for stamping.....The nice talk with the shopkeeper was for free..
