Well it's hard to believe that my daughter's eleventh birthday is today!
That month flew by!
Much thanks and karma to
tvg for the whole envelope of stamps from Netherland!
Many thanks and karma also to
Bilbo1967 for the postcard and stamp from Solihull!

Sadly, her birthday pool party for her friends had to be postponed due to bad weather today, so she's already opened her gifts from us. I found a book called
Stamp It! which is an excellent book for beginning stamp collectors. The people we ordered it from even covered the box with stamps and included a couple pouches of stamps inside the book to get her started! But you all have given her the best start! She wants to pick out an album to put them in, but I'll let her pick out the one (or two) she likes best! Thank you all for making this a wonderful birthday for my daughter! I realize that there are some postcards and stamps that haven't made it here yet, but don't worry about it or think they are too late! You know how we all try to make our birthday last as long as possible!
I've said it before and I'll say it again! MobileRead Rocks!
