Going Postal

I happened to come across the USPS announcement for the stamps to be issued in 2006. It seems to be a relative boring year in terms of stamp designs -- with the usual obligatory stamps celebrating various people/achievements and aspects of Americana. However, seeing how 2006 looks to be a year filled with weddings from various college/HS friends (also a sign that I should start acting my age more), a few of the 2006 stamps caught my attention.

Taken from: USPS - 2006 Commemorative Stamps


Stamps created especially for mailing wedding invitations and RSVPs. Seems like they'll be offering a booklet with 20 one-ounce stamps (for RSVP) and 20 two-ounce stamps (for invitation). Very clever idea!

The new 2006 LOVE stamp. The LOVE stamps always have clean, simple designs. =)

My favorite in the "Art of Disney" series. They ought to add the carpet ride from Aladdin. I almost want to say that Little Mermaid deserves a stamp too, but then I realized that there's a lack of suitable scenes from the movie with both Eric and Ariel.

Random fact of the day -- The Little Mermaid Platinum Edition DVD will be brought out in October 2006. I can't wait...
