Another year is going to be end..2012 and 2013 is approaching with new hopes of ray and probably lots of resolutions which we would take and never able to make:) but still we do..like we philatelists have different goals may be which includes filling up missing stamps in our albums or complete some countries or to get a cover from an unknown countries...
This 2012 i also had some resolutions and some philatelic goals in some sense these were satisfied and some are not.But overall it was again a great successful year for my collections ....i have won some good deals in ebay,some wonderful stamps were issued throughout the world..and gone through some wonderful exchanges..
I was thinking of writing this blog from long time..and today i decided these is now or never..It was really a difficult choice of stamps and covers....
Here i will share my acquisitions of my 2012 in the forms of stamps/SS/Covers...
