A brief break from the the thanks...

Good morning all.  I'm taking a brief break from the thank yous, don't worry I have a couple more for you next week, to bring you a little project I've been working on the last week.  I'm indexing all my stamps.  I originally saw this idea over at Two Peas.  I adapted the idea to the way I store my stamps, but it's basically the same idea and so far so good!  You can see the original idea/post here. 


All of my stamps are organized within a category in the Rolodex.  Then I stamped my image and in the bottom left corner I wrote the stamp brand and in the right corner the stamp name.  Now, I've been stamping off and on for a week and I still don't have all my stamps done.  There are stamps I forgot I had.  I think I'm really going to like this system for that reason alone.  That and it has allowed me to see what some of these images look like stamped.  Some of them look A LOT different inked up than they do in the package.

I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on this, I still have my category tabs to make and the rest of my stamps to finish.

This was Mike and I yesterday during our ride.  We rode to Lexington, MO with my parents and ate lunch at Riley's Irish Pub.  It was a GREAT time and makes me excited for spring and summer!

Happy Friday to you and thanks for coming by today!

    That's a great idea. I was just thinking the other day, there's got to be an easier way to look for stamps! Perfect!

    I LOVE this idea!! What do you do with large stamps? Any idea on how I could put my digi stamps in there too? I'm guessing just print and glue them to the card? Sounds like a fun day!

    This is such a great idea. Very organized! I will have to try something like it too...don't have a rolodex but I can probably re-purpose something else. Fun ride! :)

    This is a big project to tackle.
    You and hubby look like you enjoyed your ride. sounds like a fun day.
    No the rain didn't get rid of the snow. I woke up this morning to it was snowing again.
    Oh ya Ashley's salad was simple, lettuce, cheese, crutons, cottage cheese and some Italian Dressing, she says it should have had chicken and maybe some cut up apples. It was yummy, plus I didn't have to make it ;)
