Who knew having custom-designed, official U.S. postage stamps was possible? Not me, until my friend Michael Katz showed me his!

And now, with just a few clicks at Stamps.com, I have my own custom postage stamps featuring my little RocketGirl rocket.

Do they cost a bit more? Yes, roughly double a “regular” stamp. But unless you’re in business with Abe Lincoln, better to have your face (or logo or icon) on your envelope than his!

I’m a potholder-maker. This surprises many people when they find this out about me. Yes – like the kind we made as kids, but bigger.

I make them at night while I’m watching a little Netflix before bed and my brain is tired. It’s relaxing, a little creative and fun. I buy the giant bags and use the Potholder Pattern Wizard to figure out beautiful patterns and color combinations.

I’ve made stacks of them and always have a hostess gift at the ready!
