Mindy and Peggy became friends, long before Etsy, through our kids. Mindy's two are the same ages as Peggy's two. We live less than a mile from each other in the suburbs of Denver in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

As the last two kids headed off to college, we were ready for some new challenges. One day out of the blue Mindy, who already had a successful Etsy, came up with a great idea. "Hey Peggy, why don't you open up an Etsy shop doing custom address stamps?"

Peggy agreed only if Mindy would partner with her. Mindy said yes! Through much research, trial and error, confusion and laughter our shop, Stamp The Envelope, was born. We've not looked back.

In 2018, Peggy decided to venture out on her own with another Etsy shop called https:\\www.etsy.com/shop/Thoughtfullysaid (go check it out!) So, Mindy took over the reins for Stamp The Envelope. She misses having a partner in the business, but still loves making the stamps and helping customers with their stamping needs!
