"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

- Feb 21, 2011
Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.

Great blog, I do advertise your blog in my article. Have a nice day.
Thank you!
=================================
Since you love basketball...
I have a basketball album, with many photos, of various sizes, with famous players.
I want to create a few maximum cards, either with existing stamps (individualized or generic) or with Zazzle stamps (probably only generic, since I don't hope to get the approval of those celebrities).
Aaaah, that is pretty cool. I love how the sender says "Mandela's Official Post Office!"
That made me feel pretty homesick, strangely enough, just thinking of Houghton and the leafy suburbs surrounding it.
