Suppose you were designing a new postage stamp. Who or what would you choose to put on it and why?

Since Easter is just around the corner, I would like to see the cross of calvary on a postage stamp to remind people every time they post a letter of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It seems as though that would be a great improvement over the recent veggies I had to buy recently because that was the only pattern the post office had in at the time except for the American Flag. Don't get me wrong. I love the flag, but I have had the flag for about five years now, and I don't particularly like the most recent pose of the flag. I usually buy my stamps in rolls of 100 and they don't give you a lot of choice. But who wants to see an eggplant or a turnip on their stamps. Not me.


myLot reputation of 99/100. crazynurse (5661)   ranked 3 out of 26,887 in people  2 years ago

Are you kidding me? Thank goodness I haven't been given a roll of turnip stamps as yet! I would likely refuse them!!!


myLot reputation of 73/100. Stringbean (1101)   ranked 5,927 out of 26,887 in people  2 years ago

It had all kinds of veggies. Ugh.

I would like to see a series on penguins, as have always been interested in them. The recent movie about penguins was so interesting. The movie was called Happy Feet and it was a big success. Its hard to get young people to start collecting stamps, so I feel its important to encourage stamp collecting whenever possible.

I think it would be something to honor the soldiers that have died in Iraq. Maybe even list all their names on stamps and where they were from.


myLot reputation of 99/100. crazynurse (5661)   ranked 3 out of 26,887 in people  2 years ago

Ohhh, awesome idea there sigma!!! Perhaps you should share that with the good ole postal service!

I think each year a stamp should be put out to honor the Teacher of the Year. The good teachers are such an important influence on the children in this world. They spend a lot of time with our kids. They do not get the national attention they deserve. It would be a heck of a lot better than vegetables!?!


myLot reputation of 99/100. crazynurse (5661)   ranked 3 out of 26,887 in people  2 years ago

Oh how great that would be to honor the Teacher of the Year with their own stamp!!! Teachers have in their hands our most valuable resource...the future. Yes, we should honor them before vegetables?!?!

Thank you, crazynurse, for giving me best response.
I appreciate it.

I'm so sick of winter and I love flowers I'd start with pansy and roses if I was making a new postage stamp. I'd also make some with hummingbirds. I like birds and flowers.
Actually I think this would be a pretty neat idea!!!

I would like see a series of endangered animals and the cute animals we have. I support the humane society and they always send me the cutest address labels. I would Love to see all the animals put on postage stamps. I had some animal ones years ago, but there were only 4 different ones and they were the big animals from the zoo.

The last ones I just bought had the dreaded vegetables on them too. I asked for some other kind even the plain ones and these were all they had, so they said.

With all the news lately on animals and pets, I think pets would come to mind for me. Perhaps I'd put a design with some cats/dogs together on it, and either put it in reference to the humane society or national pet adoption month or stamp, something like that. Why? Because I love animals and have a soft heart for them...all of them. I think the adoption or care of animals is advertised enough.

My youngest uncle suddenly passed away this Wednesday and yesterday, the army soldiers came to honor him and fold the flag for his wife for his time in Vietnam. I think there should be an entire series for each war our soldiers have been in. A good point was made by his wife when she spoke to us while holding that flag. The Vietnam vets were treated badly when they came home, so it would be nice to see a series of all wars so we don't forget the sacrifice they all mad and still make to this day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. crazynurse (5661)   ranked 3 out of 26,887 in people  2 years ago

I am sorry for your loss. Yes, a series to honor those who fought in all the wars, even the wars which were viewed as 'unnecessary' would be great. No matte what folk's opinoin of the war was, those soldiers went and served their country..and for that they should be honored.

I'd have a stamp that was a "Mt. Rushmore" of Nobel Peace Prize nominees. I'd also issue separate stamps for each nominee. They are all deserving. I'd like to emphasis in our world and society to be on the peacemakers.


myLot reputation of 99/100. crazynurse (5661)   ranked 3 out of 26,887 in people  2 years ago

Ohhh, please contact teh postal service with this idea! Great one!*wink* I remember when your own personal Mt Rushmore answer was the Nobel Peace Prize winners!
