Not at all. Your contests inspired me to do this. Notice I stole much of the contest process from your threads. :-)
Congratulations to all the winners! Thanks Curtismo for running this interesting contest. It clearly was challenging to match the coins to their...
My wife will be excited that you liked her stamps. She is something of a stamp hoarder. She will buy 5 sheets of anything new and only slowly use...
