My husband wanted to know why all my stamps have nicely sewed felt pouches while I have a pile of clothes in the closet waiting to have buttons sewed back on or to be mended in some way that have been there for years.

I've found a few stamp pouches, usually made from fleece. Very nice -- but they don't seem to work well with my stamps, which are mounted on foam and wood backing. The stamp pouches only seem appropriate with unmounted stamps. So, while I do use fleece, I don't sew it into a pouch, I just cut a piece to wrap the stamp in and slip it into a baggie.

All my wood mounted stamps were in

--covered small boxes with the same paper I used for the logbook so the logbook and stamp box are a matching set.

I don't make wood mounted stamps any more but when I did, that's what I used.

Over time, I got rid of the wood backing since it took up too much room. I used that room to increase the size of the logbook to decrease my maintenance.

Tell him it's because you have wisely chosen your priorities! ;o)
