At least you have a plan. And that is more than Sally can say. You also use your desk as a staging area, where Sally has not a single flat space we can use to stage anything. Keep up the great work, use those five minutes, and you will be ready for that ultimate remodel before you know it.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-24361394490719561682015-09-17T22:33:23.785+01:002015-09-17T22:33:23.785+01:00Hi Julia, just a late pop in to take in the view o...Hi Julia, just a late pop in to take in the view of your desk and window. I too have lots of wood mounted stamps and am sure if I archive any they'll be the ones I want next... happened since our move back when I realized the most suitable stamp for my card was one in a storage box...mmm, oh well, have fun deciding which to pack and enjoy your weekend RobynORobyn Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696500498643518734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-53096799842960198492015-09-17T00:30:29.075+01:002015-09-17T00:30:29.075+01:00Wooden stamps are my bane.

So I've started unmounting some of them to alleviate the strain on my storage. <br /><br />Well done on using your time allotments so efficiently! #41Ohhh Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378791321523857714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-76142760471348694752015-09-16T23:17:40.048+01:002015-09-16T23:17:40.048+01:00That's some mean boxes of stash, Julia! Great ...That's some mean boxes of stash, Julia! Great to have a turn out every now and then. I unmount all my old wood mounted stamps and put them on EZ-Mount Foam, and use the wood blocks for other things (like making blending pads, or sticking bubble wrap on for bubble wrap stamping etc.). Thanks for your lovely comment - my hubby wisely gives me a wide berth when I'm in that sort of a mood, and then tells everyone I'm coping really well lol! I'm much better now, physically and mentally (at least for now). Busy with friends and family calling so not much studio time in the offing for the rest of the week but hopefully next week I'll get plenty in. It's very satisfying using up all the horrible stash you don't like. Amazing what a bit of Dylusions spray ink will do, or a good old coat of gesso.<br /><br />Happy WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #30Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-66542332523372760462015-09-16T23:06:02.165+01:002015-09-16T23:06:02.165+01:00I have unmounted so many of my wood mounts but sti...I have unmounted so many of my wood mounts but still have quite a few!

You are so right though that five or ten minutes here and there makes a huge difference when you can just do it all at once. I think you are right to archive and not just get rid of them, because this is your thing! Maybe you could do a workshop sometime where everyone makes something with all the different stamps. Hugs!
