I picked the birds because I think realistically, that one will be easiest to use without cleaning it constantly. It's pretty big though. Ours is smaller and I still only use it on the back of envelops - I write it out (or use stickers) when the envelop calls from a return address on the front.
ETA: We got our stamp as a housewarming gift and I DO still love it come Christmas card time.

And I could stamp it without the birds for like bills and stuff. I didn't think about the cleaning.. Good point.

They're all nice; but in order it'd be birds, rooster and state.

I feel like you should get the rooster because you have/had chickens & roosters.

I like the birds. It's annoying me that the other two shops are showing the stamp on the front of the envelope, so that may be influencing my vote.

How much are ya'll mailing that you use a stamp? I feel like I mail maybe 4 things a year, then Christmas cards and birthday invites. Definitely not worth spending the money on a stamp for me...it would dry out before I'd use the ink.

I mail a lot. I blame my grand mother. I send birthday cards, thank you cards, Christmas, I mail a lot of my bills, I like to send thinking of you cards to people. I always have LOVED getting mail. It always made me feel so special as a kid. My grandma would send me cards for valentines, Halloween, Easter, thanksgiving, everything! And she lived on the same property. She just did it because I liked it. I'll do the same for my nieces and nephews. And the boys birthday invitations. I love invitations so I send them for each party.

I think I've had it for about 4 years and I mail things at birthdays, Christmas cards, and randomly through the rest of the year. I haven't had to refill the ink once and it's not dried out at all.
