Birthday Blog Candy!

Hi everyone!

Hope your having a fantastic weekend! I've been working on getting my stamps organized in a couple of binders, what I'm doing is indexing my stamps & sentiments so that I know what I have. I have found that when I need a sentiment I always reach for the same ones because I'm too lazy to search everywhere for what I need. My stamps are scattered everywhere & when I clean up I usually find a stamp & say "Oh I could have used that one on one of my cards I just made". Now when I need a sentiment for a birthday, thank you, celebration etc., I can look in my book under what I want & see where it is & get it! Easy peasy! So far I have only worked on all of the SU sets & should have those done by tonight. I didn't realize how many sets I had till I started doing this. I have many other stamp companies as well now so I feel that I am overwhelmed & have some that have not seen ink yet because I forgot about them. Has that happened to you? When I'm finished with indexing everything I will take a picture of the binders, I think this will make my crafting so much easier. Tell me how you keep your stamps organized so that they are much easier to find, I would love to know!

OK, on to my blog candy. Pam (thank you Pam!) donated this stamp set for me to use as blog candy & I figured I'd use it for my Birthday Blog Candy this week & I added a few more items! All you have to do is tell me how you keep track of all your stamps & how you organize them...that's it! So leave your comment here & I will pick a winner on my birthday Saturday April 11th!

Blog Candy!!!

I'm back with some blog candy to celebrate my blogaversary! Wow I can't believe it's been a year since I started this blog, well actually 1 year & 1 month to be exact. My blogaversary was actually July 8th but as you all know I was very busy with my daughter preparing for her wedding at that time so I figured I would wait till August to celebrate with blog candy! I have been so blessed with making so many friends here in blogland, it blows my mind how far away some of you are, it's amazing really! Some of you I am closer to than others & I keep in contact thru emails, but I appreciate each & every one of you who visit me here on my blog. So in appreciation for visiting me & helping me celebrate I have put together some blog candy & all you have to do is leave me a comment telling me what is your favorite card to make right now. Example: waterfall cards, suspension cards, window cards etc, get the picture? I want to try the waterfall card soon. So go leave me a comment & I will pick a winner next Wednesday Aug. 13th, please one comment per person. This is open to USA & Canada people only, I'm sorry but I just can't afford mail prices for overseas...I wish it were cheaper to send packages there, so please forgive me.
