I don't like to mail alot either but now I'm LOOKING for things to mail so I can use them!! (Okay..maybe I'm a closet office supply junkie after all!)
The item number is 886-772. I think they were a bit pricey but I had a coupon to get $10 off a $40 purchase. AND they are a tax write off

My name is Rae, and I'm stamp challenged. It's embarrassing, but, seriously, it doesn't save any trees if I use a stamp. I ruin too many things and have to toss them or cover them with a label. I use stamps for my person return address and for endorsing my checks. Other than that, it's labels for me.

I'm not stamp challenged....I'm LAZY! I love the labels so I can sit on the couch and label everything. When I used a stamp I had to sit at the kitchen table....fan everything out....stamp it...wait to dry....scoop it all up...and start again. Now it's a family affair. We watch American Idol and label all my new paperwork.
I do recycle newspaper and pop cans so at least I'm not TOTALLY destroying the environment
