Budget

I just bought 50$ worth of stamps from usps.com...
I think it will last me for quite a while though. It'll be a good mail day for sure when those arrive!

Sometimes it's still hard to resist certain notecard sets, but I find that I've mostly conquered that temptation.  Now my temptations run to labels and art supplies.

Coming up soon...
My first handmade stamp!
