Mission Organization Update!

On it goes...

Good Morning!  It is approaching 6 am here and I am up early... too early...

My Mom is flying in for a visit so we are off to the airport soon to pick her up!

I thought I would give an update on how my Mission Organization was going :)

I am very excited to announce that ALL of my stamp sets are now cataloged in a binder!!!  WooHoo!

I have all of my Clear Mount stamps in one binder and all of the wood in another.    

All of my Clear Mount Stamps are stacked alphabetically - 

I have separated Christmas stamp sets and Halloween stamp sets so they are easier to access.  

My Wood Mount sets are stacked by size.  I need the "order" that doing this provides.  

 I like how they look all neat and tidy in their stacks :)

Each "size" is then alphabetized.  

My Wood Mount binder is only alphabetical order.  

I did not separate the pages by "box size" in the book. 

I am thinking that I might implement a "dot" system... assign each box size a colored dot and then apply that color to the corresponding stamp set in the binder so they are easier to locate on the shelves.  

I'm not sure yet though... I don't have that many ( and pretty much know my stamps - hee hee) 

so I should be able to remember which size box a set is in.  Time will tell.  

Once I was done organizing my stamp sets, I moved on to my Designer Paper.  

That was a huge chore!

I  have 57 folders of Designer Paper!

Each folder contains one series of Designer Paper.  

The "retired" ones are in snap closure protectors and the "current" ones are in open - top style.

I labeled each package, with my p-touch label maker,  so I would know which series of DP it contains.

My next mission is to create a binder with samples of all of the different patterns and which card stock colors they coordinate with.  That will be a very large project but I am super excited to get it started!

What better way is there, to fall in love with it all again, 

than to touch and feel it all - and really look at each one ?  

I LOVE my papers!!!!  They are soooo pretty!!!!

I hope I have given you some organizing ideas 

or have inspired you to revisit your stamp sets and designer papers - 

I have fallen in love again with my older stamps and papers.

They are happily organized and at my finger tips - calling my name :)

But, alas, I need to get moving so I can get to the airport!

Thanks for stopping by today!

If you have any questions about any of my organization methods, 

Don't hesitate to give me a shout!  I'll be happy to share :)
