Canada Post's Year of the Rat stamps

[Godmother]

They went on sale a few days ago, and they are really pretty! They're embossed, showing a pretty ratty. I bought a sheet of 25 of them.

Oooh, I'll have to get me some too.

Me too. I will have to buy some stamps to mail out our daughter's wedding invitations. Might as well have a pretty rat on the envelope too.

Our (USA) year of the rat stamps kind of suck... you can barely even see the rattie! :thumbdwn: :tantrum:

Willow Bean, I was looking all over the picture and couldn't spot the rat. Then I see him in the top left corner. lol

 

[Willow Bean]

exactly :cry: maybe I'll have to do some border jumping to get a Canada stamp!!

I bought a sheet here in the US and I too was dissapointed! I was like, whats this? Then I saw the little gold rat up in the corner. *sigh* I need to jump the boarder too to get some decent rat stamps!

Here is ours:

Here's the sheet of 25:

I like the US rat, too; the only problem is the size.

I wonder if I can get a sheet off of e-bay or something. The US sheet I got I am putting in a frame, I dont plan on using them. Canada are so much better!

 

[Willow Bean]

Maybe one of our lovly Cnandian members would be able/willing to get a couple sheets for us and send them on over? I know I would love to have some to frame. reimbursed of course ^_^

[Godmother]

Amazing to think that you can get current Cdn stamps for less money on ebay than in a post office!

 

[Willow Bean]

YAY!! You rock, Moon!!
