Julia wants to know what’s on our workdesk today. Well, I’m usually not keen on sharing my workdesk, since it’s not a workdesk but a dining table and it usually is very messy (can’t remember the last time we actually were able to eat our dinner at that dinner table…), but today I really feel like sharing something I worked at for eight hours. Unfortunately, it’s not a piece of art, but it will turn out to be very useful, I’m sure. Actually, today I had taken the day off, because I desperately wanted to create a number of ATCs to be able to swap at the Art Journey Event in Zeist this weekend, but it’s now 7 pm and I still have to start working at my first one! Instead, I ranged almost my entire stash of unmounted stamps. I stamped all of them, organised by brand, on sheets of A4 paper. I laminated the sheets so they can hold the unmounted stamps. It’s dazzling to see how many stamps I’ve collected over the past year and I haven’t even used 10 % of them… which reminds me, I’m off. Gone stamping!
The green fluid you see on the picture is no tasteful drink. It isn’t a witches’ brew either, it’s just water I used to clean my brushes when I was experimenting with acrylic paint yesterday evening. 😉
wow that is organised, I want to do that but didn’t think of laminating the sheets, good thinking. Like your comment about the witches brew – hee hee. You have some lovely work on your blog, especially like the butterflies.

You have just given me the push I needed – I’m off to sort out my stamps.. I love your blog too.x
I’m not surprised it took you all day! You deserve to play a bit now, enjoy your evening.
oh how I wish I was that organised!
how organised are you… i put my stamps in polypockets, but laminating the card makes more sense… well done.

Funny you should be organising your stamps like that as I spent yesterday doing that to mine. It takes forever doesn’t it? I’ve not got them in a folder though xx
Oh great job! I do this – occasionally – sit down to a specific job and many hours later emerge having done a shed load of worthwhile stuff but not the original job! Those ATCs will be so much the better for being done from organised stamps!! Thanks for showing us your WOYWW – no matter desk, table, whatever, we just like the sharing.
That is what I call organised! love your stamp “order” I am way too lazy to do that! Thanks for sharing the idea though – I might get up to it!

I love how you have organised your stamps!
I bow to your superior stamp cataloging … most impressive indeedy!
I was thinking just last night of making a catalogue with imprints of my stamps too, but I hadn’t considered putting the stamps in the same binder too, that’s a good idea. I prefer the idea of the Witches Brew I have to admit!!

What a wonderful array of stamps …must be a great sense of achievement seeing them all organized and easy to find what you want…..Glad you explained said liquid ….it does look …well weirdly bright!!
LOL about the pain water. I’d need to put a label on it “Don’t Drink Me” to keep from trying it. LOL
Your stamps are so organized and neat and it looks like you have a good space there.
