Yorkie on a Stamp!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

This is one Christmas present Mike gave to me, and I just HAD to share with all of you Yorkie enthusiasts! And YES, it IS Otis! Mike had his pix turned in to real usable stamps! Of course, I'm not wasting these on gas bills or phone bills!!

WHERE did Mike get those done?? That is great ... I put Toto on our return labels but would love to get stamps with her on them!! What a nice thing to do!!

I'm not sure. I think Stamps.com because that's what it says on the bottom of the page.

For a while you could do them at USPS.gov.

WAY TOO CUTE!!!!

YorkieRose,

PM me your address, and I'll send you one of Otis's stamps to add to your collection. I'm serious!

He belongs in your collection....after all, he IS a Yorkie!

Aww man, Mike shoulda told me!!! Yoda's Momma would be so happy to have some. I actually saw the be on a stamp thing, but didn't think about putting Yoda on there at all. WHAT WAS I THINKING! :P

That kicks butt Junebug! Otis is FAMOUS! That is totally awesome and sooooooooo cool! Mike is DA MAN! Let him know that!

By the way, I think they will bring back the program to have your own pets on stamps, they had some problems of people putting nefarious characters (mass murderers, etc) on the service, but I think they will still allow babies and pets or something like that. We shall know within the next 90 days. Here's the site:

Cheers to everyone! I had no idea that those stamps would be such a hit!
They were fun to make, and pretty easy to do online. I just added the "Otis" part, but if they reinstate the program, you can add anything you wish to the graphic.

My other idea for a gift was a shoulder bag that I saw in some mail-order catalog where you can send in an 8x10" photo, and they will put the color image on the bag! It's way more than an iron-on, I think, as the bag is large. But I liked the stamps idea better since the bag needed an actual photo to send in, and took something like 6-8 weeks.

The stamps took a total of about 10 days to receive.

Gad you like the stamps, and if I find any other "yorkable" items around, I'll pass them along...unless they are a secret for Junebug. Then I'll PM FastEddie.

Cheers!
