Okay please tell me I am not totally crazy!! I think I have serious issues. I spent the weekend cutting up stamps and putting them nicely in plastic page protectors. After that I wasn't satisfied. I needed to store my stamps that were in the protectors into something else. I was a woman on a mission. I found a basket I've had forever. It held all the page protectors perfectly and looked so pretty on my shelf. Ahhh, look how purty that looks!
Of course I wasn't done there. I needed something to store my new stamp endevour in. I am now collecting Close To My Heart stamp sets. I say collecting because I still have a bunch of SU stamps that are in their original containers and haven't been cut or mounted. I love the new CTMH cause there is no cutting involved! You just slap those bad boys on an acrylic block and you are good to go! This may just expedite my usage of them!! I'm so excited! Anyhow, I found this cute napkin basket at Target that fits my stamp envies perfectly!! The best part, they were only $5.99!! Oh and they look very purty on my shelf!!
So I went back to Target today to get another napkin basket for my CTMH stamps. I found this on the clearance rack. It was only $3 and I thought DANG, that is perfect for my larger spools of ribbon!! I'm in love!! It's a paper towel holder!! Of course I just had to get one!
Okay that's it. I will not buy another storage container for the next week!! Well, I will try not to anyway. I will try very very very hard not to!!
It's very pretty! I love both ideas....You might be obsessed :-)

Storage is a wonderful thing, you can never have too much. You don't know when you'll decide to reorganize and need that cool container you bought last year! It's a good thing.
I'm glad you put them in your blog so then I will remember what they looked like once I get unpacked.

I love your ideas...now can you come here and do mine? I still don't get the whole unmounted thing...I'm scared I'm going to "ruin" my stamps. You are too cute!!!!!!
