The Wallpaper Meme
From amy_119, vicodin_martini
Rules:
1.) Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper.
2.) Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
3.) Don't change your wallpaper before doing this!
First Day Cover: Christmas 1976 - English Medieval Embroidery, issued 24 November 1976. I use Webshots for my screensaver and to rotate my wallpaper, and earlier this year I found tons of large images online of British first day covers, many of which I remembered from my childhood philately. I remember some of these stamps turning up in various general collections of British stamps, but it was unusual to be able to gather a complete set as the higher value stamps were always much more scarce. Usually there were eight collections of stamps issued in a year, and there would always be a Christmas set. I still have the small collection of first day covers I had bought for me, I think they're in my keepsake tin along with a few select letters. I added many of these images of first day covers to my Tumblr, you can see them here.
Uploading that image to Photobucket, I was surprised I hadn't added a widescreen image before. I've had this laptop for over three years now.
