This time of year is the busiest stamping season for me. I've got Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all going at once, with preparations galore for various classes and workshops. Not to mention the usual Autumn birthday cards to keep up with. They call it "multi-tasking" but I call it "mayhem" in a fun way. If I ever get to feeling overwhelmed with it all, I'll just cut back. So far, I'm keeping organized and able to get the things done that I really want to get done.
One of the ways I stay organized is to give away a lot of stamps and supplies that I no longer plan to use. It was hard at first, but I've learned not to get sentimental about my stamps and view them as tools instead. If I hadn't learned to do that, I'd have filled three rooms by now!
TIP: To keep things separated, I have a container for Christmas stamps in use, another for Autumn and later on I'll have another for Halloween, all sitting on my table in reach. Just the stamps in use at the time. Then they get put away before I pull out more. These are mostly inside sayings. Sets get used one at a time and returned to their storage spot.

Thanks for the follow up pictures...you are definitely managing to stay organized!! I like your idea of actually putting a stamp away before pulling out the next - my desk would be in much better shape if I tried that!! I did recently give away large amounts of designer paper to a local charity. I so rarely use it...it was just taking up space!
