WOYWW - 1 February 2012

February is a strange month, this year it is 29 days long, but it is still the shortest month. It is also another sign that the year is marching on day by day, one month done & 11 to go before we are back at January again.  I don't know why but the older I get the faster time seems to fly!!!!

So WOYWW - As for today on my desk, I had a tidy up yesterday and put away all the bits & bobs that had started to clutter up the desk space.


My task for today is to update my Stamp Catalogue with my new stamps... All of my stamps are added to the catalogue so that I am able to quicley see what images/sentiments I have got as well as where they are stored.  This is what the last 2 pages in the catalogue look like...


When each stamp (or set) is added to the catalogue I write down the make & name of the stamp(s) (if they are from a magazine I will add the name of the magazine). I then draw lines around the sets so that I can see at a glance what stamps go together in a group.  I also label where they are kept, this is usually a Letter & Number combination, which will refer to a A5 ring binder or a Really Useful Box.

Well that is my desk for another week.  Happy WOYWW :-)
