My Stamp Resolution would have to "collect something" Seems like I spend all my time reading but not doing. Not that there is anything wrong with reading about stamps. In 2014, I bought a few new books/catalogs and I enjoy those, but I don't think I put a single stamp in an album all year. And that would be the 2nd part of my resolution -- I need to get a LOT more organized. My office and stamp area has deteriorated into chaos. I have newly-acquired items in boxes, unopened packages, etc. And lots and lots of stacks of stuff begging for organization. SO.... to be honest, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and discouraged. KirkS Be discouraged no longer. Chaos is the natural order of things, we human beings try to alter things, be deteriorating things into order. but it gives us pleasure to do so, learn about life and see things in a constructed way. Look into the rain forest, there is no order, just beautiful stunning chaos. Philately has the beauty of not requiring any conformity other than what one decides to apply to oneself The ultimate democracy. If you want order, begin with one country, and begin mounting or hinging, one step at a time You have access to great tools, The Scott catalogue, Steiner pages So off you go!  |

Working on my philatelic website. It should be ready about the time my 2 year old granddaughter starts college. I need to keep scanning my current items. Try to stay within my allotted budget(that's a funny one). Life can take you places you never thought you would be, but it would be nice, for me, to have an un-exciting year in 2015.
regards, Theron.

I just hope to have more time to spend with stamps and stamping in 2015. 2014 passed me by a little. I also want to continue to offload the remainder of my postage stamps leaving only Cinderellas. One 'wish' has already been dashed as I was ill over the New Year with flu and my Birthday plans were cancelled !  I had planned to treat myself to the only set of 1934 Palestine Airways stamps I had ever seen. It would have been the single most expensive transaction I had ever made for a Philatelic item !! I hope to get another chance to buy it in two weeks time. Londonbus1...is it really 2015 ?  |
