Hello and welcome to the first WOYWW of October - that's OCTOBER people! Even if you're not a Christmas fan you're going to have to start thinking about it soon!
(Wondering what WOYWW is? go here to Julia's place for the low down)
Not such a fun week here this week, I'm doing some "admin" and trying to tidy up a bit. I have a big pile of stamps which I just haven't got round to cataloguing (I'm an ex librarian and old habits die hard!) So I thought I'd get those done and clear the decks ready for my next Dictionary Challenge page and my October Tim tag....
That was the plan - but in reality it is all taking rather longer than anticipated!
So this is the organised chaos on my desk today...
I did three hours yesterday but the pile doesn't seem to be getting much smaller - I'm hoping some of the stamps at the bottom of the heap are ones I didn't file away after use and have already been catalogued!
Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday wander around the workdesks of the world and I hope to catch up with you soon.
So impressed with your organisation skills Maisie!!! Good luck getting through it all. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. Hugs, Jenny x
ReplyDeleteI always think that the type of stamps featured on someone's desk is a good indicator of personality! I like the fact that most of yours are quite stylised and not frilly, of you know what I mean. The balloons are great fun, as are the sort of lollipop flowers. I much prefer graphic style of art rather than lifelike, patterns float my boat!
ReplyDeleteSo now you know, lol!!

What gorgeous stamps...I'd love to get my sticky mitts on that lot! When you've finished, would you like to come and catalogue mine!!! Hugs. Pam#41
ReplyDeletewishing you luck getting to the bottom of the pile....! I love the stamps on your desk too. Happy WOYWW Helen 14
ReplyDeleteMorning Maisie,
ReplyDeleteHate to admit it but your desk of stamps etc. strongly resembles parts of my home. I like to think of it as 'organized chaos'. Other would call is 'untidy' ( they just have no 'vision' . Enjoy your sorting. X X Flo
Oh my! That is one thick catalog, girl! You have that many stamps?! Wow. Love the stamps I see piled up on the desk. Care to part any? (Grin) Happy WOYWW! Nan G #8
ReplyDeleteNo wonder is taking ages, Maisie, that's one pile of gorgeous stamps you have. Organising always takes longer than you think doesn't it? Good luck with it all.

Oh dear Maisie you are right I am going to have to start thinking about you know when soon...... Done I've thought about it and don't like the idea one bit... Not Christmas just the idea of all the stuff I have to do!
ReplyDeleteAnyway love your 'pile' have fun with the catalogue ing
Have a great Wednesday

I wonder when do we have enough? There is no end to my wish list. cataloging I never thought of that. Good luck Carole #79
ReplyDeleteI spy some brilliant stamps - I know what you mean about cataloguing - I have just finished laminating all my clear stamps sheets and filing them!!! and I wonder why there is so little time to craft! Have fun

Oh my goodness I can't imagine how handy librarian skills are when it comes to organizing things. I feel like I'm constantly organizing my craft area! Love all your stamps. Thanks so much for visiting me and my dollhouse madness and mess! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #3
ReplyDeleteNow I know that you want to get them organized, but I can't help commenting on how lucky you are to have all those lovely stamps - frustrating as it must be to catalogue them all! Sorry I'm a bit late visiting as we just got back from our visit to the Globe Theatre! Macbeth was brilliant. Since I started crafting the costumes inspire me to create projects! Thanks for your visit earlier. Have a great week! Julie Ann xx #56
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you re the stamps at the bottom. I catalogue mine and have a drawer full waiting to be done - somehow, like you, never seem to have the time. One day ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me earlier.
Hugs, neet 23 xx
ps you have some lovely stamps there!
Oh, my stars and garters, Maisie, you make me look like I don't own many stamps at all! When I incorporate the NBUS Socieity, YOU (not me) are going to be the first President!! Lands sakes alive, girl!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW! Thanks for coming by to see me! Have a wonderful couple of weeks! (Thanks too for the good wishes re my sis and the move!) Darnell #10
Ooooh I love those stamps ... right up my alley. I'm excited about what you'll do with them ... Suzanne x

ReplyDeleteObviously far too many stamps! Not even thought of my Timmy tag yet. As I don't do halloween I have to give it some extra thought! Thanks for the visit BJ#39
ReplyDeleteOh my, that looks like quite a detailed system. Where and how do you store them once they are catalogued? I love to organize, but you are right - it takes eons of time! May the force be with you! :) Cathy
ReplyDeleteYour organization is wonderful. Love all that stamping goodness. Thanks for the visit. Peg R #29
