Stamp organization

A veiwer asked  "Are thoses all your stamps and how do you organize them?"
Well, yes, those are all my stamps,
I have a few more that I haven't used yet
and these I will sell if someone wants them before I get around to using them.
As to organizing...I bought CD towers from Ikea (about $40) and flipped two of them on their sides,
I then divided the stamps by occassion and style e.g. boy, girl, winter, romantic, funky, birthday, etc..
I find this works for me.
And because the stamps are loosely organized into catagories,
I don't have to spend a lot of time making sure I get them back in the right spot.
  I just need to be close.
I have also organized the catagories.  e.g.  spring, then summer, then fall, then winter, then Chirstmas.
Hope this helpful if you are trying to organize your stamps.

p.s I also have a couple of  my arcrylix organizers that I use for when I travel, or If  I want to keep a bunch of stamps handy on my big table.

my creative space

So, I was bemoaning the fact that my kitchen is a disaster area,
And I haven't finished the reno yet.
And my garage became a dumping ground instead of my studio,
Which forced me into the house
Where I took over the kitchen
(who needs to eat or cook??)
Can you see where this is going...
So here is my kitchen turned creative studio mess

Then on the weekend my daughter asked me if we would "EVER" have a normal house.  You know, the kind where they eat at the table

And the toaster is not used as a shelf for your paper cutter

So, I unplugged my cricut
rolled up my sleeves and headed to my garage
And now this is where I am working

From October 31, 2011

Okay the job took longer than it should have,
 because I had to stop and make a cupcake.

AP 30 time to clean up my workspace

I have been busy creating all month.
  In fact, I was up at 6 am this morning to make and post that little believe album & box.
  And I used the cricut for multiple images,
so I am going to skip my post tommorrow
and instead post picture of my cleaned and organized work space.
Till tommorrow.

Motivation

It's Saturday morning and I have the weekend off. Yeah!!! I am having my morning coffee and cruising the internet, looking for inspiration. Actually, I'm avoiding starting to finish my kitchen.
The sink, that's about all I have left to install. Why am I so hesitant? I've done this before (well 15 years ago) Is it the fact that I am getting older and not as confident in my abilities?
I remember when I thought I could tackle any project (except electrial--that just scares the beejeesses out of me). I would try anything, built bookshelves, move the fridge, paint the house, drive a semi (once). Or am I just lazy this morning?
Or am I dreading giving up my extra counterspace (that I use to scrapbook on) hmmm.
I think it's a bit of everything.
So, I will be finishing my coffee, and then clearing my counters (of all my CTMH supplies) and cutting the hole.
