Yes, PLEASE! You know us Yorkie junkies, we'll do anything for our little ones! Include mail them all across the country (on a stamp of course!!!) to people we like! The only personalized Yoda thing I have is a mug with his picture on it imprinted at the mall. I've also got one of his baby teeth set in a little gold piece and on a necklace I wear.

YAY! The US Postal Service is going to bring back personalized stamps! WOO HOO!!! We gotta wait up to a month or so, but all our Yorkies can all be famous like Otis and be on a stamp!

APRIL 26--Congratulations to our friends at Stamps.com, who are poised to relaunch their fabulous personalized postage program thanks to a decision announced yesterday by the U.S. Postal Service. The Santa Monica firm last year took part in a USPS pilot program that allowed consumers to customize postage with photos of babies, pets, and bucolic scenes. By all measures, the seven-week market test was a roaring success...though there was that one glitch. As you may recall, TSG was able to order stamps with a variety of distinctive images, including the below 37-cent stamp featuring Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, the New York couple executed in 1953 for spying for the Soviet Union. On the succeeding pages you'll find stamps honoring Monica Lewinsky's blue dress (the one splattered with Bill Clinton's DNA); Linda Tripp; deposed Yugoslavian ethnic cleanser/war criminal Slobodan Milosevic; MIA labor racketeer Jimmy Hoffa; executed Romanian dictator/Communist oppressor Nicolae Ceaucescu; former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey and alleged gay lover Golan Cipel; and high school and college yearbook photos of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, who used the postal service to deliver his homemade bombs. Despite that little bump in the road, USPS brass announced yesterday that the personalized stamps program will be put out to bid Wednesday, with a year-long test expected to last through May 2006 (within 20 days of receiving USPS authorization, a vendor will be allowed to start peddling personalized postage). Since Stamps.com has already handled the trial run, the firm is likely set to resume its PhotoStamps program next month. News of the USPS decision has today driven the online postage firm's stock price up about 20 percent, to its highest point in nearly five years. (9 pages)

Those are so cute, what a great gift!!

schatzie · 04-26-2005, 03:52 PM

I was just thinking about these stamps the other day and was going to look into it..

So great they are coming back - gonna be such fun paying those bills now, NOT!! LOL

(atleast the cute stamps take some of that pain away though)

aimee · 04-26-2005, 04:00 PM

That's true! I might actually smile when I mail off that stupid car payment!

fasteddie · 04-26-2005, 04:55 PM

Ooh ooh ohh... We can order now and get First Edition printed on our sheets!

Here is the bad news though, the price. It's $16.99 for a sheet of 20 37-cent stamps. So we're paying a premium of $9.59 for the customization. So I don't think we want to be using our personalized stamps for EVERY piece of mail we send out. We're definitely going to be keeping a few for ourselves, and perhaps if we send out Yoda birthday party invitations... for next year.

Mydogkelsey · 04-26-2005, 04:57 PM

I wanted to do that with checks. Very cute!

Yorkie_GirL · 04-26-2005, 06:24 PM

Me too! I want to personalize my checks to put Ginger and Oreo on them. Problem is i have already a ton of extra checks for wheni run out. could i possibly get new ones? i am changing my name anyhow.

Marie · 04-26-2005, 06:33 PM

I will like to get personalized Stamps with Gucci. It will be nice to have personalized checks. I do my payment online so I hardly use my check book and stamps.

Oh well, I will see.

sfmadrigal · 04-28-2005, 12:39 AM

Oh, where can you get personalized checks??? I would LOVE those!

Bodhi'sMom · 05-22-2005, 12:15 AM

Stamps.com said that the test was a success and that photos on a stamp are once again a reality!!!!

They're available now. So why are you still reading this? Hurry! Go make a stamp and show us!
