I like stamps

My wife and I like stamps. My wife likes to do rubber stamping on her craft projects. I can remember a client of hers giving her some very large clay pots to paint and decorate and she used some rubber stamps to decorate one of them; it came out really cute! When we lived in New England and we ran our landscaping and snowplowing business we used custom stamps on our invoices and envelopes that we really liked.

We’ve used custom stamps to endorse the backs of our checks, getting them ready to deposit to the bank; those stamps saved a lot of writer’s cramps! And we liked using custom stamps that expressed our appreciation to our customers for giving us their business.  And when we were running the business, we got a “signature stamp” that had my signature on it so that my wife could use it to sign outgoing checks and endorse incoming checks.  It was really handy, having all of those stamps!

One of my favorite places to get rubber stamps is through the vistaprint.com website.  They sell high quality stamps; you can even order a free customized rubber stamp!  They offer a lot of free samples of the their products.  I really like that because then you can see for yourself what the quality is like before you make a commitment to buying.
