My Own Birthday Fun FDC!

Something all my own, how is that?
well these Birthday Covers
I did my self, I tried many types
of paper weight, and many types
of Ink, some of the photos
do not do the covers justice.

And this is why I was upset when
I could not get a sheet of the
stamps from my post office.

The post below has more photos
of the covers, if you don't see
another post below this one
have a look at.
Brithday Fun Covers!

They are card size covers,

U.S. TROOPS LAND AT NORMANDY

Perhaps at no other time is the
American flag recognized as an
inspiring symbol of freedom
than in war.

Since the Revolution, Old Glory has
proudly flown in battle, instilling
courage and pride in the hearts
of American troops who have
risked their lives for their country.

One of the most horrific battles ever
faced by U.S. armed forces happened
during World War II when Allied
forces invaded Normandy.

On June 6,1944-D-Day-some 5,000
ships carrying over 150,000 Allied
troops steamed across the
blustery English Channel toward the
forbidding beaches of Normandy.

Invasion forces included the
British-Canadian sector on Gold,
Juno and Sword beaches,
and the American sector on Utah
and Omaha beaches.

By dawn, U.S. infantrymen were wading
through chest-high water and clouds
of artillery smoke.

On Utah Beach, American troops
were accompanied by 33-ton Sherman
tanks that were floated ashore in
inflatable canvas covers.

To the relief of the Allies, there was
very little German opposition.

But on Omaha Beach, the U.S. V Corps
came up against the battle-hardened
German 352nd Infantry Division.

Most of the American tanks and artillery
never made it to the beach, sinking
in the choppy water.

Using only light weapons, infantrymen
were required to carry out a frontal
assault on heavily fortified
German positions.

By the end of the day,
despite the high number of casualties,
the Americans held a precarious
beachhead six miles long and less
than two miles deep a hold
they would not relinquish.

To honor the brave men who gave
their lives on that fateful day,
Old Glory proudly waves across
America every year on
June 6 in their memory.

Happy Stamping.

Now something For a Buck!

Ok now for some stamps,
I got this S/S for One Dollar
yes folks just one buck
for those that don't know it
a buck is slang for $1.00

The sheet has eight stamps,
now I can't tell you where they
are from or I can't even tell
you the value of them.

But what I can tell you is that
they are of Locomotives,

"if you will click on the photo
it is a nice big size so you can
see the details of the sheet
maybe you will have a look
at the bigger size and tell me
where they are from and what
the value of them are.

Ok now this is where the

PHILATELIC CRAZY!

in me takes over, did I get
me moneys worth?

Before any one gives me you
thoughts witch I do want to
Hear, I have to say yes I
did get my moneys worth.

Why because I love stamps
that show World Transportation,
and there are eight stamps
the stamps show 10K
on each of them so If I think
about it this way 8 X 10¢
that would be 80¢
stamp value.

And to it is a S/S witch I just love
them Mint or used as long as
the sheet is intact, I got a nice used
one on a cover this past week I
will show it to you later this week
in one of my other post.

Ok guy's it now you turn to tell me
what do you think did I pay to much?

What is the catalogue value of them?
I do want to hear what your thoughts
are, and I will share with readers
if I found out where they come from.
Budrow@Highland.Net

But no matter what I do find out
I feel like that I did get my
Moneys worth.

Happy Stamping.

New USA Philatelic Catalog

Good morning all this one here
is a free be if you have not got
a copy yet do so now.
http://shop.usps.com/

I like the cover is makes you think
of a comic book hum wound why
maybe some thing to do with the
comic book superhero stamps!

I just wonder where is the comic
book is that they told us about
in Postal Bulletin Issue 22184,
Item 459872,
[Price not yet available].

well here again I wonder why
there web site is
http://shop.usps.com/
so poorly done.

because in the new USA philatelic
catalog there are all kinds of stuff
that are not on the web site.

plus all the stuff they did not tell us

about in the Postal Bulletin before a

stamp is issued they tell about it in the
Bulletin and tell what philatelic products
available for that stamp issue:

And I have learned not to take that to
heart, because let the new catalog
come and you are sure to find
something that has not been told
that would be available.

Why oh why can't the catalog and the
web site work together I just don't
understand that at all.

ok enough I will get off my soap box
now and get to work on a stamp post
later today, do you have your copy
yet? if so let me hear what you think
about the stuff that is in the catalog
that you can't find on line.

Making My Stamp Friends

I was reading on Don's Blog how

he thought it would be a good

ideal to give your old copy of Linns

to your local postal window clerk.

The Stamp Collecting Round-Up:

Making friends at the post office

I think this would be ok if one gets

a lot of books and papers to read

about ones stamps but for me as

a collector I find this would be

hard to do for me as I would

want to keep them in my library.

How about you, do you give up

your copy of Linns or Scott

Stamp monthly?

Folks I have miss being abale to

post but our network has been

down from doing up grades,

and I finly had to give up

windows 98SE and now having

to run Windows XP PRO.

I guess it was a good thing that

I was a Beta Tester for Microsoft.

Speaking of A Good Things.

The Martha Stewart Show is looking

for Collectors (people who collect all

kinds of different items). Do you have a

hobbie for collecting things

cover is a new one added

to my collect.

you a pack rat collector.

Budrow@Highland.Net

If you have been reading my post

You will remember a few weeks
back I told you about me selling
one of my collect.

I sold a 15 years collect of
Coca-Cola stuff that I had
a massed over the years and
said I would tell you why
I did it, well the reason I did
is because it's a "BOY"

I have raised two girls that are
19 & 20 and now I get the
chance at a boy my heart's
desire after raising two girls
I would not have minded if it
would have been a girl just
as long as it was healthy.

Any body that has girls will
understand the joy of
having a boy.

and yes I have all ready started
a stamp collect for him.
he will be born somethime
in December so we are looking
for names did you know of any
good boy names Please
share them with me.
Budrow@Highland.Net

ok now more about stamps

in my next post.

The subject will be
$2.00 Bucks

I will share things that I have bought
for $2 Dollars and under for my
stamp collect that I feel like that
it was a $1 Dollar well spent.

Let me hear what you have got for
$2 Bucks and under for your
stamp collect that make you
happy to find and add to your
collect and send a photo if
you have one.
