I'm a busy little boy !!!!   Introducing the old catalogs/stamps has kept me hopping. The "retired" stamps seem to be a big hit.   It makes me feel great getting those older stamps back into circulation.  Your response has been overwhelming which is good but the downside is that I now have a TON more inventory and no place to put it...... I hope to add more catalogs by mid August.

Also, in the past when a stamp became retired I took its picture off of the catalog page on my website.  This means I have to redo almost all of my pages which is going to take me forever and a day.....but, I'll GIT-R-DONE

I'm gonna keep this short so here's what's new..>>>

Penny Black is retiring about 150 more stamps.  They have offered me a nice discount on them, so I am passing it along to you - resulting on the lowest prices you have ever seen.  All are from 2006 - 2007 - 2008 catalogs.  You'll have to visit my site and click on each catalog, look at the pages and find the stamps with the dot.JPG by the stamp number.  To start, click on this link::  


This sale ends August 31st.  The stamps will still be available after 8/31 but probably won't have the decal and cost more.  These are first come-first served.

Take a minute to click on this link - hope you enjoy what you see  --  I've got ideas floating around in my head!

Next,  I was able to talk Patty into learning how to set up web pages so she has agreed to start a Penny Black Gallery on my site.  I'll let you know when it is ready for viewing.  You can feel free to email her pics of your cards but don't feel bad or left out if it/some are not used right away......We are thinking about putting on 10-20 cards a week......We also will be 'stealing' pics we see on places like split coast.  If you post pics to the internet and DON'T want yours used please let me know.

We haven't decided whether to give credit to the maker.  This is to be a place for ideas - not to 'show off' your cards.  Feel free to share your thoughts with us.  This is just in the 'development' stage right now.  Also, this is not being done to increase sales  -  the last thing I need is more work....  I always try to be a service to stampers in the limited way I know how.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have signed up for Google's Voice  -   it is a free phone service and I'm going to give it a try.

If need be you can contact me by phone.... Please do not use this unless it is really important.  Usually I'm only near the phone (used for this service) between 10:00 AM & 4:00 PM  Eastern Time.  There is a link to click on on my Welcome page (first page - at the bottom) and also on the Order Form Page  -  The call costs you nothing.....  It is best though if you send me an email asking me to call you.....

Or - You can dial  740-963-9663 but you will be charged with long distance.  

I have set this up because more and more emails go into SPAM folders and I want to be able to call you if necessary.   I can call Europe for 2 cents per minute and the USA for free so it is a heck of a deal for me.   I am asking that you email me your phone number if you haven't already done so.  If you are not sure then send it.  Your number isn't given to anyone or put on any service.  You can send both your home & cell numbers - just tell me which is which.  You'll probably never hear from me unless Patty is away.  You'll know it is me, I'll be breathing hard!!!!   Ha Ha Ha
