Philately : President Stamps Series

USA President just changed from Mr. Barack Obama to Mr. Donald Trump ... nope this post not about politic, but this Presidential (?!) issue, things remind me of Indonesia Presidential Election in 2014.

2014 Indonesia Presidential Election for me was and still very SPECIAL , that election was the first time I participated whole heart.

That's why this Stamps Collection became some of my favorite.

Joko Widodo & Jusuf Kalla

I bought this set, because I'm not a fan of  First Day Press Set (?!) the set when stamps stick in to envelope with note and date stamps to make it collectible ...not a fan ,because i think those set is too much , to much material, that envelope i can't even use and it not fit in to my stamps album , although if i have no choice ... i do buy it.

After all it's lovely to have  whole sets like above, i can use  one set for keep and the rest  for sending postcards. :)

Also, this election bring out so many creative way to participate, from donate for campaign fund, using app or smartphone for monitoring and secure OUR voice , also make art about the campaign. Below is the stamps that using the same illustration that was use for T-Shirt during campaign, with some of Indonesia National Hero among them , Our Founding Fathers , Bung Karno and Bung Hatta at the front row :)

Joko Widodo & Jusuf Kalla, Illustration Stamps

Somehow this illustration style reminds me of Adventure of Tintin :) i like it ^^

That's all for today, see you all next post ^^

Quote & Postcard , Cat theme

Wow, a week pass so fast.
Cat.... like i said before, i love cat and i have many of them...
I like to photograph them too.
Also i love postcard, so i made my own postcard CAT, i also add a quote about them from famous or non-famous profile.
I'm very happy about the  quote, for me it emphasize my love to those cutie pie(s) :)
I love dog too, but somehow i never have a dog.. i wonder why :))

I'm using this design when I'm send  for my postcrossing, when i also got an address of people that love a Cat too.. for now i just print them using a photo paper and then glue the postcard paper behind them, so i can write on it.  I  do have plan to print this, but i still looking for proper paper, and my town doesn't have what i want :)).

These are some of my cat, quote and design for the postcards.

Philately : 2nd Oldest hobby of mine

I love stamps, i don't know how i end up having this thing as a hobby, but it was started when i was young, 4 or 5 grade i think. I remember i show my stamps album to my teacher and stop to the post office once a week to check if there was a new stamps coming out.
