Wow, Wednesday again! There isn't much on my "desk" on the floor today (did you spot I added a bit to my blog header?!) after I finished the frame (yesterday's post) earlier than I thought.
I have however, found a few more drawers you haven't peaked in yet - more stamps - these are some of my Stampscapes stamps (I don't do anything by halves, as you may have gathered...) The drawer on the left has them double depth as it's a deep drawer.. and there are lots that haven't fitted in either drawer (I really wish Homebase hadn't stopped making these units....)
and this is a sort of anything goes drawer!
I haven't used some of these for a long time (possibly never for some of the train/plane/boat ones) I am sure I bought them for a reason...
Lastly this is a box of all sorts that is a real mess - boxes of glitter (bottom left) chalks, stuff I don't use much. My coloured UTEE is in here too, somewhere - I really WILL get my melt pot going again sometime...
The maps I tore out of an old diary a couple of years ago, as I thought I could use them - for something!! One day....
This box lives on the spare armchair behind the "Timmy" box I showed you a couple of weeks ago.
(You can tell I don't get many visitors, can't you!)
I haven't got much further with the Tim H Ruler book - I stamped a Wendy V background on it, but in distress ink and found it wouldn't dry over the paint - it smudged even after heat drying and leaving it overnight - so in the end I washed it off with a damp paper towel and stamped it again in a permanent ink.
In the top right corner of my craft mat are some butterflies left over from the flower frame from yesterday.
I am not sure when I will get to link this to Julia's blog, but I will try and get round to see you all soon!! If you have been reading this and don't know why I am showing this right mess, check it out here where every Wednesday an increasingly large number of like-minded people show everyone what they've been up to in their craft spaces.

Fabulous collection of stamps Mrs ... I have several of those and if you remember why you bought them ... do let me know ... because I cannot for the life of me remember what I had planned for them either :0)
Great stamps ! ** Kate **
Wow! Fantastic set of stamps. I have some - a few, not sure how to say it when I see such a great collection! Stamping is new to me, and I am adding to my mixed media painting. They are wonderful to use. Love your addition to your header, we all work on the floor at one time or another, don't we??

Fantastic collection of stamps! I'm in awe!! Love your new title. ikki x
ooooo love all those stamps hun. Unfotunately I don't get to use mine as often as I would like being on the DT for a digi stamp place now. I will get organised one day and start using them again though as I have soooomany cute ones - none as gorgeous as yours though!!
Sam x
You have a ton of rubber stamps. I like how you have them organized. Looks like you can find them easily. Happy WOYWW.
Thanks for sharing your drawers, I haven't actually shown inside any of mine but may take the plunge next week :-/ I'm sure the train/boat/plane stamps and maps would be great for men's cards. But we all have stamps we've never, or very rarely used.
Anne xx
That was a lovely rummage through your drawers - how kind of you to share them! I am GREEN with envy at that amazing walk/dance/talk sing stamp - please Please TELL ME WHO MAKES IT???
So many stamps and all wood too noo wonder yr draws are full! I love so many of them (the face one is so yum) biut alass I can not keep buying things just to look at lol I have made a firm promise to self I have to stop buying things at the end of May (unless essential glue card stock I mean really essential lol) so I can get to Paris for a few days think of the inspiration I could get lol

Wow, very nice collection and so neat and tidy! Maybe I would stamp more if my collection was more organized! Thanks for sharing,
kat
Ok, so you know my current obsession with Stampscapes, so I'm really coveting those stamps of yours....do you keep your doors locked while you're at work??? lol
wow, lovely stamps!
Do you think you would notice if I came by ...in the dead of night ...and 'borrowed' some of your wonderful stamps?
Fab stamp collection. Hugs Pam x
I still can't get over how many beautiful stamps you have, where on earth did you put the stash you got at the Ally Pally??!! As for not having many visitors, tell us where you live and I'm sure you'll be inundated!!
Hugs
Brenda
How many times do we post. 'I've never used this. Don't remember why i bought this' etc?
I wrote the same on my post today. What do think about the idea of a swap party?
as soon as the post opened I went "wow" outloud and no one else is here! those stamps look yummy, oh would love to have a play with all of those.
Linbyx
OOooo love all your stamps!

What a fabulous collection of stamps...you clearly enjoy the ephemeral style.
'll look around your blog now as I'm a Newbie to WOYWW (which you'll all tire of reading as I tour all this week's posts).
What a mouthwatering selection of stamps you have :-)
Oh I'm soooo jealous, I wish i had all those lovely stamps!!
Loving your stamps and the floor space! ;o)
ohoo I'm soooooo jealous of all you lovely draws full of wonderful stamps!! I only have what you see...a part from my 'clear' ones that are in a plastic container yes, I did notice your top bit, and I even put a bit in my post about, 'crafting' on the floor!
((Lyn))
wow look at all your yummy stamps, fab collection going on there!
Hugs

I'm loving all those gorgeous stamps and there are sooooo many to play with - absolutely gorgeous!
The Stampscapes are gorgeous sets!
Lovely stamps
There's a stamp fest going on tonight!! That is some serious horde!! Juliex
Oh wow, you have some gorgeous stamps, and so neatly stored.
Nicki, xx
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the ruler book next Helen! x
Helen I am identifying very strongly with your stash. Have also done the map saving thing but I did actually cut up an old ordnance survey map for a special wedding card which was hugely appreciated.The couple were orienteers and by chance I had included on the map the place where he proposed!Hugs Betty
Love your stamps.
Cath
The stamps are to die for!
What a lot of stamps, love looking at all of them, but how do you remember what you have?
I've got to confess: I love stamps, buy them all the time, love how they look... but I never use them. I just can't figure out how!
wow gorgeous stamps, really lovely. can't wait to see what you do with the book xx
That's a lot of stamps, but it's a really great collection you've got there. I love that bicycle.
I'm impressed with the floor and jealous of all your stamps, although I realised I have the sentiment stamp which you have used in your frame, which by the way is gorgeous.

Wonderful batch of stamps you have...each one is a piece of art...that is why I can't bear to part with any of mine!
Loved looking at your drawers - you have a really great stamp collection there. Will have to upload some of my pics once I get over my shyness
Ooh what wonderful drawers. Your stamps all look lovely. :) Good luck with your ruler book. Your Stampotique card is looking FAB too. Have a great Sunday. Hugs, Gez.xx
