Hi, I'm Edith. I started collecting back in 2007, when I was eight, but didn't do much. I recently pulled my album out of its box, and I am hooked yet again. I look forward to chatting with y'all!

Sorry that I missed your introductory post, Edith. Yes, welcome to TSF!
We are glad to hear that you have pulled out your album and are becoming active collecting again. Stamps are the kind of hobby that can be put aside for awhile periodically, and the interest of a true collector can always be rekindled later.
Glad that you have decided to join the group, where there is a real wealth of information to be found!

Thank you all for the kind welcome! I am focusing mostly on U.S. stamps, but I have a few German stamps from relatives, and am slowly branching into the whatever-I-can-get-my-hands-on / international category.

Welcome to the forum, Edith. I love to see young folk getting involved with stamps. Forward your mailing address to me via a PM, and I'll send some free stamps your way to encourage your reintegration into the world of philately. If you indicate specific areas of interest, I'll do my best to accommodate.
