Writing Challenge

On February 15, 1842, the U.S. Postal Service first introduced adhesive stamps (stamps you lick) to the public. Adhesive stamps were all the rage until 1989, when self-adhesive (peel and stick) stamps were introduced (actually, they were first introduced in 1974… and they were a total failure!).

The company is called OrganizeMore out of Oregon.  I've bought… Read More »
