A new holiday collection means new stamps. With new stamps and new collections brings new storage issues. It's certainly a good thing but I finally figured out how to rotate my Memory Box stamps. I am loving this idea, and I thought I would share it with you!
First, someone shared their idea of keeping their Glimmer Mist on an acrylic nail polish stand. It looked super pretty with all of the colors on the stand but I already have storage for my Glimmer Mist. I certainly loved the idea of using the acrylic stand for something though! So, I bought one, it arrived, and I immediately knew it would be perfect for my Memory Box stamps. I am going to use this unit to rotate current holiday stamps. Right now I will keep out all of the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas stamps. Then as I start working with Valentine's, Easter, and Spring stamps, I will put those on this unit, and I will put the Fall/Winter holiday stamps up in my stamp boxes. This way the stamps I am using the most will be easily accessible! I really love this, and it will be great to have all of my current Memory Box holiday stamps out and easy to use! They even decorate your space a bit for the season! For more information and close-up photos, please see my post here. Thanks for looking and happy organizing!

I LOVE that idea, and do something similar with spice rack stands from the Container Store or Store Everything. That way a ton of my stamps are on display, and if I see them, I'm more likely to use them. I also just purchased an old printer's cabinet from Ebay that has 1" drawers that I plan to store many of my stamps in, and I LOVE it! Drawers from these old printer's cabinets are often available on Craigs list or Ebay, and they look great hung on the wall with stamps in them. Thanks for sharing your great idea!!!

Thank you, thank you! I have one of these stands that I thought I would keep cards in but they would fade too quickly out in the light. Seasonal stamps it is. Bless your generous spirit for sharing the idea.
