A couple of months ago we decided to officially turn our first child into a nerd: we helped her start a stamp collection. She LOVES it.
I bought a little purple photo album from the dollar store, made a cover (shown above), and loaded the album with a bunch of blank white cards. Every time we get a letter with a new stamp on it, Olivia and I cut the stamp off and glue it onto one of the cards. December has been a great time to do it, since people send so many different Christmas stamps. We also recently had a friend move overseas, and they obligingly sent Olivia a postcard with a nice English stamp.
So, if any of you are getting an urge to make a 2-year-old girl very happy for a few cents, please feel free to send us your stamps!
* Olivia also sounds very cute saying "stamp collegshun."
