Happy Chinese New Year
My son was born in Seria, Brunei, Borneo "MANY" years ago, where we lived for three and a half years. Population is a mix of Malays and Chinese. Every year, I look forward to seeing the design for the new Chinese New Year postage stamps for Canada. I reckon they are some of the most beautiful stamps produced in Canada each year - too bad they can't design such spectacular stamps for other occasions, too! The bright red and the raised gold look good together. Chinese New Year begins on January 23rd and Steven's birthday is on January 25th, but sometimes I combine the two for a Flickr post. Thanks once again, fd, for creating the Motivator program : )

Nice concept and execution, Ann!

I need to go to a 'real' postal outlet to find that one! The outlet in our store only has 2 postcards, and only because 2 of us collect them. LOL very nice!

Thanks, everyone!
Debby, I was lucky to get any of these stamps, as I went the day after they came out. I bought the last two international value (seen on the left of my photo) and the last 15 or so of the Canadian value.

Gorgeous shot of the stamps and a very happy birthday to your son. Happy Chinese New Year to you, How exciting to have lived in Borneo. Does you son live in Alberta too? Is he a photographer?

Thanks so much, everyone, especially for your birthday wishes for Steven!
LAP75 - I can't remember who it was, but someone told me that the US has produced a rather nice Chinese New Year stamp that you could check out.
Rebecca - yes, I'm glad to have had the experience of living in Borneo - except for having lizards inside the house, which totally freaked me out! - though daily living was much the same as in any country - cooking, cleaning, etc., lol. Yes, Steven lives in Calgary. He does take photos, but I don't think he has the time to be really passionate about it.
