Aniversario do Grupo MAM no Yahoo

Ola Meninas,

esta eh a terceira semana da comemoracao do aniversario do Grupo MAM no yahoo e com ele temos mais uma brincadeira la no blog Desafio Mad About Magnolias. A responsavel por esta semana eh a Soraya.

Ela nos pede para mostrar a nossa colecao de Magnolias e como guardamos nossos queridos carimbos. Nossa, ainda lembro da primeira magnolia que comprei, foi a Tilda with Gingerbread...

Na epoca nao conhecida sobre copics e carimbeira, entao usei uma carimbeira que tinha em casa.. aquela quadradinha da marca pretty color, sabe... gggrrrr, que raiva.. a danadinha manchou meu carimbo novinho e a tinta nunca mais saiu...  nas hoje nao interfere quando carimbo  usando a carimbeira memento..

Bem, voltando a falar da minha colecao de carimbos Magnolia.

Nestes 3 anos, tentei varias opcoes de armazenamento e a mais eficiente foi coloca-las todas em uma unica caixa transparente, sem embalagem para nao ocupar espaco, assim quando quero uma especifica, consigo ver facilmente na prateleira qual eh a caixa dos carimbos magnolia e eh facil de pegar.

No inicio eu fazia um catalogo com a imagem e o nome de cada carimbo, mas pra mim nao funcionou porque sempre esquecia de atualizar... Entao para mostrar  minha colecao para voces peguei meus carimbos e separei todos por colocao e fiz uma tabela com os nomes dos carimbos e quantidade de cada colecao, vejam abaixo:

E os carimbos ficam assim dentro da caixa:
