JAN from Janet + miscellaneous add-ons

This one took 2 weeks to get from Janet to me. While we live 17 miles apart - our mail is processed at the same facility.  Janet had a lot going on in January and forgot to include the ZIP code - so we had to wait for someone to figure it out. Their penmanship is pretty good.

Janet and I both used this stamp for the JAN exchange. I've often thought it would be fun for everyone to use the same stamp during one month - but that would be impossible. The artsy component of the exchange supports the *I'll do whatever I want to do* perspective and it seems like the exchange attracts people who just want to do whatever they feel like doing - so we won't mess with that concept.


I appreciated seeing the cancel on the back of the envelope. It gave me an idea for stamp placement on the February envelopes. It might look nice to have the cancel alongside its coordinating stamp.

I found another stockpile of things to use for add ons. This is for the people who like fonts and old lettering. Clover sent the link. Thank you so much. I found it in the 2024 folder <sigh>

Here is another link sent by Clover - a public domain archive.

It's possible I already posted these - but, I'd rather just post them again to be sure. I'm a belt and suspenders kind of person. I was surprised how many people are not familiar with that expression. Perhaps the world has turned to elastic waistbands and belts and suspenders are things of the past.
