Star Picucci: March 2022

I'm on a craft organizing Facebook group Get Organized with Totally Tiffany for folks that have used the Get Organized Challenge (GOC) and from time to time there is a request to see your tools catalog. So instead of just posting pictures I though I would make a post about it that I can link to.

EXTREME oversimplification
You have 4 sections
1) Alphabets, Numbers, Punctuation
2) Themes and Sentiments A-Z
3) The Calendar year (Seasons and Holidays)
4) The Rainbow (Roy G. Biv with his friends Neutral and Metallic)
You have an Organized Only space of things you have organized
You have a purge box for things you no longer use

My Biggest part of my tools collection is the rubber stamps so I started there

I got a large 3 ring and protector pages, For each stamp I made an impression (using pink paper I had a ton of) if the image fit into multiple categories I made multiple impressions. I wrote the stamp # and drawer # on the stamp and then put the image in the catalog on the page for that category.

In this image you can see
I have labeled the drawer

RS 68-97 D-4
RS is for Rubber Stamps
68-97 are the stamps that are in that drawer
this is Drawer-4

I have labeled the stamp

RS-97 D4
This is Rubber Stamp #97 stored in Drawer 4

* Lesson learned - I easily could have ONLY put the drawer number on the stamp and not actually numbered the stamps just the drawers

Enter into Tool catalog

On a page for theme "Clothes" (Upper right corner) I put a stamped image of this stamp and then wrote next to it the stamp # and other information I wanted to know about the stamp

RS-97 D4

H122 Grad Cap Stampendous! (This is the brand and item number and their name)

Also: Celebration (If the stamp image is in multiple themes I cross list)

Other things I might list - if part of a set would list set name,

If this is a multi part stamp I stamp them individually and then all together This is Stampin up set 'Pineapple Welcome" made up of 3 stamps You can see this is also under Flower and Tiki (in addition to Food/Cooking)

For sets I find a catalog page (physical or online) and in a back section I have 'sets' where I have pages for the set and what each stamp number is )
