How many stamps do you think you have?

All of my stamps are catalogued so it would be easy for me to count them up. But I am not going to do that. Nope no way.

If I don't need to know then nobody else does either.

Definitely not something I want to admit out loud!

I've been putting mine in Evernote too! It's a pain, but I hope it will make stamping more fun!

I don't know how many I have, but I do know that it is too many. I used to sell Stampin Up! Enough said.

I have all mine in Evernote so know that I have 103 sets

Eleventy billion. And that's AFTER the last purge.

I'm really pairing my stamp sets down. It's so much easier for me to make a choice now instead of mulling over too many sets. Any of y'all have the same experience? As to the number, I'd have to go count but I know it's definitely less than 100 - probably more like 50-60.

Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but at last estimate, I have between 4,000 to 5,000.  I have them all in the old PSB (paper sticker binders) zippered storage With the PSBs lined up neatly on shelves.  Each PSB has between 350 to 400 stamps, and I have 14 of them.  Oh, and that doesn't include the 11 or so boxes with CTMH stamps.  I am seriously addicted, but I have been buying stamps at least since 1986, possibly even longer.

Crazy?  Maybe.  I am getting pickier than I used to be.  I don't buy them nearly as often as I used to.

I use my stamps in my scrapping and for making cards.  Our LSS recently closed, and I don't care for the scrapping papers that the big box stores carry.  As long as I have cardstock and stamps, though, I can always make my own background papers and embellishments.

Those who don't stamp really don't understand my addiction and usually the topic of "HOW much have you spent?" comes up.  Well, it doesn't matter.  DH can't get off work that often or for very long to go traveling, and when he can get vacation, we usually just go to see family in other states or do something relatively local.  We don't go on the big, expensive vacations like many people do.  That means I can spend more on my scrapping and stamping hobbies, and my DH doesn't object.  Yes, he is definitely a keeper!

Since the spring I added 70 Stampin Up sets (yes I said sets) to my stash. I just got 5 Studio G sets from my sister this weekend as well as one of those multipack, wood mounted, mini stamp sets. There are too many to backtrack past totals.

This is so cool! I love Evernote. Does your system help you remember what you have? Or do you decide you want a certain topic and type in the tag?

I agree! Iuse Evernote too and enter all my sentiments as tags. This means I can search for the exact sentiment I'm looking for for a particular project. You can also link stamps and dies or other coordinating products.

Mounted?> About 100
Unmounted A billion I love my unmounted stamps!

Me too! Let's just say that after collecting them for over 30 years, teaching stamping independently for years, designing stamps for three companies and then owning a stamp/scrap store, you end up acquiring more than any normal person's fair share. I need to go through them, some haven't seen the light of day in over ten years. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to do that this winter and sell off a bunch in the spring when my friends do their annual sale. Even after that I will still have far too many, but once they are organized maybe I'll be able to actually use more of what I keep again.
