I think I might have a problem

My awesome blogger-buddy, Kim, challenged me yesterday to count all of my stamps. Not one to back down from a good challenge, I decided to take her up on it. Well, it turns out that I have more stamps than I have time to count, so I took pictures of my collection for all to see, and you know what? As I was going through the various little nooks and cranies I store my stamps at, I began to realize that I have a problem. I'm a stamp-a-holic! Who knew? I am a non-discriminatory stamp collector, so even though I'm a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I have no problem buying stamps from other companies. My favorites as of right now other than SU are Hero Arts, Stamp a Sweet Impression, Inkadinkado, My Favorite Things, and Studio G. Stamps rock!

Here's a looksie into my little scrappy world. This first picture is actually a little sneak-peak into my new reconfigured craft room. As you can see, my hubby put up some shelves for me. I'll share more of my room with you later. I have my SU stamp collection and my favorite Hero Arts stamps on this bottom shelf.


This next picture shows my rolling craft cart that I keep in the closet (hence the lack of light for this photo). When I first started stamping, I bought this cart to store all of my wood-mounted stamps and stamping paraphernalia. I should probably organize it a little better so that I can find my stamps more easily.

Next up is one of my drawers showing my block alphabet sets and some foam stamps along with some Adirondack ink pads.

Okay, this next picture makes me happy, but at the same time makes me think I'm crazy! I have more clear stamps than I do storage for them, so here they are still in their original packaging. If anyone knows where to get some Inque Boutique Stamp Keepers at a reasonable price, please let me know. I obviously need more!

Last, but certainly not least, are the binders I keep most of my clear stamps in. As I mentioned before, I use the Inque Boutique Stamp Keepers because they really keep my stamps organized. The bottom two binders are filled with the stamp keepers. The next binder up has some stamp keepers and my unmounted rubber stamps. Next up is my Studio G binder where I have all of my dollar stamps neatly stored in baseball card holders and arranged by series number. The very top binder houses my holiday stamp collection (I need a bigger binder!).

I hope you enjoyed this little look into my stamping world! (And by the way, if you want to be put in my Will, you'll have to hop in line after about twenty other people who have claimed a share of my collection. LOL!)
