Received November 12, 2011 from Netherlands/Postcrossing Stamp!

NL-857870 arrived yesterday with a very cool reflective image of cows AND the new Postcrossing stamp!! I haven't received it yet and am so happy to have it!  The Netherlands issued an official Postcrossing stamp in honor of my most beloved hobby POSTCROSSING!  I think every country should issue one.  Who spends more money on postage than Postcrossers?  No one!  We are uniting the world in friendship one card at a time and it should be so honored!  Love it!

Yay!
