Stamp Fulfillment

Last weekend I needed some stamps. I went to the post office, even though it was closed, thinking I could buy cute stamps from the stamp machine. No such luck. They took out the stamp machine and now have some ATM-looking thing that sells postage stickers for Priority and Express mail, and sheets of the not-so-attractive Forever Liberty Bell stamps. I got a sheet of these, but was disappointed about it (I've been wanting more of those Star Wars stamps).

Well, later I read online that the cost of mailing a letter will go up to 42 cents in May. So those ugly forever stamps aren't looking so ugly now. I also found out that you can buy stamps online from the post office website (usps.com). They charge a dollar to mail your stamps, no matter how many you order. I ordered me some cute stamps! Plus some more forevers, plus a bunch of one cent stamps. Looking forward to getting these cute stamps back from mail art trades.

My order came in today. Return address: Stamp Fulfillment Services, Kansas City, MO. Boy do I feel fulfilled. Plus, each sheet of stamps comes on a nice, clean piece of cardboard *perfect* for cutting up for chunky 4x4's :) Even more fulfillment.
