2012 Stamp Program: Day 29

How about some flags on day 29? Now I have to admit..most of our flag stamps are far to boring for me to send on letters. I am not sure why...that is just how I see it. (Though I would happily use them on my soldier letters). With that being said..I do enjoy these ones because they seem more involved than the others. Maybe its the words...maybe it is just because they are new? Who knows..(and really who cares)..the point is I like them.

For those who do not know..our flag has 13 stripes representing the 13 original colonies, and 50 stars representing our 50 states.

The illustrator of this stamp is the late Arnold Holeywell.

2012 Stamp Program: Day 17

10 lovely stamps grace day number 17. This is the 6th installment of the Flags of our Nation series. They are lovely stamps, and I will definitely be buying them all. You can read more about each individual stamp here.

The series was illustrated by Tom Engeman. He has illustrated many stamps, the most notable one was the original Liberty Bell Forever stamp.
