I am lucky because part of my job has to send registered mails to customers and when the registry cards get back, I remove the stamps attached and add it on my collection. So mostly, I have gotten the 2015 and the past years series. I also have other stamps which my mom has collected when my father was abroad at the time when e-mail does not exist yet. Here are some of the stamps I have.
1. Pineapple
Philippine Popular Fruits
February 4, 2015
I added the Suha (Pomelo) leaf I picked from the yard that is perfectly heart shaped.

2. Custard Apple
Philippine Popular Fruits #2
February 6, 2015
Again I added a touch of nature in the photo from the leaves of a plant that's very attractive. I sure think this will be a great addition to a flower arrangement.

7. Oriental Sweetlips

8. Two-lined Monocle Bream

Apparently, I was not too careful, the paper got stained from the leaves' sap.
9. Pyjama Cardinalfish

I picked some beautiful flowers of Lantana. Just lovely.
These are the props that I used to lighten up my stamps on this post.
'Til my next stamp collection post. Btw, I am numbering each one so I'd have a count on the series I've posted. Thanks!
