Inspired by the Postmark calendar post, and more importantly, the fact that I bought a couple of Machin kiloware, I am sharing my #postmarks365 project. It's a start and there are still many dates without stamps. While I will try to complete this with Machins only, it is very much possible that I run out of patience and add stamps of other countries too  . Sorry, no April pic because for some reason it didn't come out well and I am too lazy to click again. Will upload sometime later maybe. PS: I wasn't too sure if I should have added these to the original thread or created a new one. Admins, please feel free to move this if you feel this is not appropriate as a separate thread, or let me know. [Moderator note: image links are broken and images have been lost] |

This is really quite cool. Double down on coolness in that you're using all Machins.

Hi Manish
I am curious. Why is the calendar dated 2017 when we are in year 2016? Are you going only by month-day?
The project is pretty neat, especially since you are using a single issue.

Jerry B We are towards the end of 2016, so I thought it would be better to have this project as a challenge for 2017. I am only going by month-day and not the year itself. Thanks. I hope I will not run out of patience to complete this using only Machins :-) cheers! |

Hi Manish
Thanks for the answer. Just be persistent.
I guess the hardest dates to find are Sundays and holidays.

As this is being done on a month-day basis, Sundays are not relevant, nor most holidays except for Christmas Day (25th December), perhaps Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
