My daughter is 16 today

Well, I know this had nothing to do directly with stamps---BUT I am proud to say that even though she is a teenager with her own interests, my daughter Dreya is a stamp collector at heart and still works regularly on her collection of used Japan as well as her several topical collections that she has for fun. Dreya was at her first stamp show as a baby and has been attending local bourses with me ever since. : )

She just soaked a bunch of Japan stamps recently and was busy mounting them last weekend.

The fact that I have 3 birthdays in my family in the next 6 weeks or so is why I have not had as much time as I'd like to update this blog. My Hubby's birthday is next on Feb. 28, and then my son turn 14 on March 11.

By the way---I tried to order a radio for Dreya for her birthday, via Amazon.com and have been very disappointed with the entire process. The affiliate is actually a company called Beach Audio. But I placed an order from them on Jan. 22nd, and they never bothered to tell me that the radio was backordered until I finally inquired as to WHERE my radio was and why I never received a tracking number for shipment. Of course, they took my money immediately, without bothering to let me know that they had NO idea when or if this item would be in stock. I am now trying to contact them further to get my card recredited so I can take Dreya shopping locally to get her a stereo. : (
