(2024-01-10) Falher, AB
This canceled stamp card is my first - I've just begun to collect them. Unfortunately, I had included 4 cards in the envelope for cancellation and only received 3 back... but for a first attempt it went pretty smoothly. There are quite a few bee cancellations to collect across Canada so I'm excited to expand the collection.
