Yes, I love fun, and I love seeing cute things in the mail, especially invitations and cards that have gone that extra step with enticing postage.

Do you find the Disney characters cute, fun, and enticing?

Cute Mickey Mouse Stamps look so inviting. Is it a party, birthday wishes, love on Valentines, a marriage proposal; the choices are endless.

Mickey usually brings a smile; he is not only a bit mischevious, he also has an air of innocence about him. He also looks cute no mater what he is wearing.

Mickey Mouse was the first original character that Walt Disney came up with. Many of Disney's earlier characters were based on fairy tales of the time.

Walt had some mice that he had kept around his office, and he named one Mortimer. When Walt released the mice, one stayed; his name was Mortimer. Walt was inspired by Mortimer's antics.

Walt made a rough sketch of Mortimer and showed it to his colleagues.  Walt was excited to be branching out on his own, instead of trying to fit the confines of others. Walt's colleague, Ub Iwerks worked up a new drawing, and that was the original mouse drawing that we came to know.

Walt's wife did think Mortimer was the best name for this new character, and recommended that Walt come up with something different. Mickey was chosen.

Mickey's body shape has also since changed over the years; Mickey Mouse has become more rounded.

When one thinks of Mickey Mouse these days, they also usually think of Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and of course, Donald Duck and Daisy.

When one thinks of Disney these days, they also usually think of Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story, Cars, and more.

Many of the Disney characters were inspired by other peoples books. Winnie the Pooh, a popular Disney character today, was inspired by the writings of A. A. Milne.

The original story of Mary Poppins was authored by P. L. Travers. Quite a few changes were added to the story for entertainment purposes, and has since become a classic.
