It was a long year or more process of changing over my wood mounted stamps to clear mount.
I finished Friday morning while Miranda slept in a bit. I couldn't run the vacuum while she slept of course since I wanted her to get her rest on her 1st day of Fall Break. She woke up as I was putting away the last of the stamp cases on the shelf.
I am so excited that it is all done. I know some say what took so long and why not just set a weekend aside and complete it but I tried to be good and just order 4-5 sets of cases per SU order and in doing that it took a lot longer for me to complete but at the same time I didn't get burned out on it either. I got to pick sets each time I had cases to unmount and doing 10-30 at a time was a lot better then doing the whole 158 at once. I think that might have made me quit stamping:).
Well all I can say is its a huge project I'm glad Its done and I'm glad I did it slowly so I can really see the progress and enjoy it each step of the way.

WOW! What an organized bookcase full of stamps!! That must feel wonderful and how great to have them more easily accesible. Congratulations...I'm jealous!
