There's nothing wrong with being an OCD stamper - not in my book anyway. Thanks for sharing your desk, lovely work on it and now off to check what I have missed via your link.

I don't think you are OCD either! I was taught that you clean them immediately so that is what I have always done. Love the House Mouse stamp. Thanks for sharing Vickie #28

Nicky I am right with you in terms of cleaning my stamps straight away. I cant bear them looking all messed up, they have to go back in their normal place.

You would have a fit if you saw the state of my stamps and my craft room - it's not a safe place for "ocd'ers"!!!!!
Well done to your sister's - my brother did it last year and I went and supported him too! It's a great day out (for the spectator's) with a wonderful friendly, positive atmosphere!!!
Happy WOYWW

Your desk is so amazingly clean (which I really like) and even the tissue/wipe is clean. Look forward to seeing what you create with the stamped images.

That is a cute singing doggie image! And House Mouse stamps are just always so sweet and I see you have a drawer full of them!
I am somewhat messy but I always clean my stamps as I go, it's easier than having to scrub at them later!

I love clean stamps too! Lovely tidy desk you have there - unfortunately although I like clean stamps I still tend to scrap in a bit of a mess!

Quite a restrained desk this week. I am shameless when it comes to stamp cleaning - I would be drummed out of any stamp lovers guild, I fear. Mine are always in an appalling state, and try though I might I cannot seem to mend my wicked ways :)

The price we pay for stamps, it seems reasonable to look after them... I clean mine after each use as I can't stand to see them all dirty sitting on the desk!! :)

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
