A.R.T.Group~Owney the Postal Dog Rolo

I just had to join this swap! I was so thrilled to see the Owney stamps when they came out. My dog, Annie portrayed Owney in an event here in Santa Fe, NM a few years back. A local man wrote a children's book about Owney and we had a book signing event on the Santa Fe Southern Railway, an excursion railroad between Santa Fe and Lamy, to the south. The kids just loved Annie! This is particularly timely for me because Annie has been diagnosed with IVDD, a degenerative spine disease and is having a rough time. I will make my rollie in honor of her. If you'd like to see Annie in her Owney roll, check out my flicker page - I'll post a photo.

Thanx, we will have to check it out! And Thanx for such a touching story! The stamps are great! I am going to get more tomorrow before they sell out! I am sure many will join this swap!

You can also order the stamps from USPS.com postal store link . Costs a dollar to have them sent, but you can order lots of sheets for future use if you want . Each sheet of stamps from there (no matter which ones you order) comes packaged on a nice piece of cardboard that can be cut to make more rolodex cards :o) So for the extra buck, you get some nice rolo blank material and don't have to stand in line at the PO.

Just to clarify above, I mean it costs a dollar shipping no matter how many sheets of stamps you order, so one buck for the entire order, not a dollar shipping per sheet.
