how i got hooked on stamps

The last thing I need to do is start collecting stamps. But with mini art like these, it's mighty hard to resist. This is just a sample of packaged letters from my pen pal J, who takes snail mail to a whole new exciting level. Because of her, I've become a nuisance to my local post office pestering them every week to see what lickable stamps they have in stock. I avoid the sticky adhesive kind if I can. It's kind of crazy to me that sometimes $0.02 is all it costs to walk home with a piece of Canadian art.
