Waste Not, Want Not

When I was mailing out our invitations, I accidentally purchased the wrong stamps for our RSVP cards. In my excited frenzy, I stuck on 26-cent stamps, forgetting that by the time the RSVP cards would be mailed back, the postage increase would already be in effect. I was about to simply tack on a 1-cent stamp, but the new 27-cent stamps with tropical fruit on them were SOOO much cuter than the 26-cent cougar stamps! So Jenny and I painstakingly peeled off all the cougar stamps and replaced them with the tropical fruit. I now have 150 curly 26-cent stamps that I refuse to waste!

Yesterday was Jessie's birthday... and now I have 44 less curly stamps to worry about! The package actually only took 22 26-cent stamps to send, but I accidentally canceled the value of the first 22 because I put tape on to secure them "just in case". Lesson learned: do not put tape over your stamps!
