Many websites are impersonal and you have no idea who is behind them, so I thought I would say a little about myself and you’d know a real person is working on this one. I was a librarian after getting my Masters of Library Science degree. I loved digging out information which helped people, and so when I became a writer, I just kept on doing that in a somewhat different way. And that’s what I am doing with this website!

Here is  some of the customized postage I have created myself:

This one of my favorite llama Lil Bit actually doesn’t take my own advice as she is not really in as sharp a focus as would be ideal. My husband — who used to be a professional photographer — gave me a hard time about using her image because of that, but people love her beauty and direct gaze.

We used to have a llama ranch. Lil Bit was a real character, very friendly and also very opinionated!

The rose is art my stepmom did, and the man is my father:

So you can see how  personalized postage creates a vignette!

How much can you really say about about custom postage, I wondered when I began this project, and I have discovered that there are so many different aspects to it that I won’t run out of subject matter for a long time!

One of my uncles taught me the rudiments of photography when I was a kid, and I have loved it ever since. My husband is a far better photographer than I am, and he helps me now. I love digital cameras, and all the things you can do with an image once it’s in your computer…. like personalized postage!

Do be aware that I make a commission if you buy through this site, but you pay the same amounts as if you hadn’t come here.
