Ah I remember when I use to hunch over on the floor to do any stamping now I have a desk and it's such a treat :) So I was grabbing my rubber stamp binder and it was falling apart from all the stamps I have in it and I'm not going to replace it but I've taped it all up for the time being and then I started to go thru my stamps and stamp and organize thru them. I organize them by company/seasonal. Some that I no longer using so I pop them away till I choose to look in my little box or trade/lend/give them with my sister.
So I'll be playing around with this for a while and let's see the stamps you can see are some
LOTV, Tickled Pink(retired) Elizabeth Bell, Whiff of Joy, Polka Doodles that I really have to cut and use they are so cute, So many stamps so little time.
thanks for looking at my desk and pop by Julia's to see everyone else's space
hugs Nikki
It's fun sometimes to look through our stash to remind us of the fabulous items we have. Hope you uncover some favourites in there
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and have a great week.

Looks like you have a fab system of sorting all your stamps. I have 2 boxes and they just get thrown in randomly!! No wonder I have never posted a pic. Have a lovely week.

Amazing how a stamp collection tends to grow and how our favorites change from time to time.....i dare not count how much money I have spent on stamps!!! Don't tell anybody....keep well zeffy52
ReplyDeleteI so miss my Sis, We chat crafting on Skype but UK to NC is just too far to arrange a play date. Maybe one day we will once again live less than 8 hours travel apart!
ReplyDeleteHave fun
Happy WOYWW!

You're definitely right about that, way too many stamps and not enough time, there's never enough time!! I need a stamp binder, my cabinet and boxes are full!

You are so right about so many stamps so little time in which to use them! I bought some more at a craft show at Ally Pally in London, UK at the weekend and I just wanted to use every single one all at once! Have a great WOYWW! Julie Ann xx #35
ReplyDeleteI love rummaging through all my things (not that I have a lot, because I only just started crafting at the beginning of this year) It always makes me feel peaceful somehow...
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your stamps =)
Happy WOYWW 225 and I wish you a wonderful week.

Organizing our crafting supplies is a never ending task. Love those stamps. Happy crafting #5
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to go back through and organise your stamps. I really must find a better way of organising mine...they are in horrible piles in boxes and drawers! Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#68)
ReplyDeleteI'm almost scared to go through my stamp stash.... I have so many but they are in CD and DVD cases rather than a notebook. Glad you have a desk... much easier on the back. Happy WOYWW!

I can't image sitting on the floor and stamping! I used to sit on the floor for hours as a kid but the floor was so much closer then and I was so much more flexible. I love that you don't want to replace your well-loved stamp album but chose to tape it up instead. Good luck sorting through your stamps and making sense of them and yes, even downsizing some of them. That is so hard for some people to do. I find it very freeing myself. I no longer have to sort through stuff I know I won't use to find something I will. I also know it can be a time consuming project!
ReplyDeleteYes that's how I organize my stamps. Have three more sheets to cut ( chocolate baroque) then I can sort by theme and stamp the index pages. Lots of work, hey. Thanks for the earlier visit! Happy WOYWW! Nan G #7
ReplyDeleteI think it's too late to start organising my stamps! I wouldn't mind, but I bought even more at Ally Pally. Is there a support group for people like me!! Hugs. Pam#34
ReplyDeleteOh good gal, still looking very organised! agree - not enough time, and then for me, argh, no mojo!! You seriously are lucky to have a sister close enough to trade and swap with...I hate parting with stamps. Knowing they are get-backable would be useful!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me already! Right now I have my unmounted stamps in a box as I don't have many. I have a few sets from SU that come in a nice cd size case.
Happy WOYWW
