Storage Solutions

Hi there, blog friends, i just thought i would share my solution for stamp storage. I bought hinged A4 boxes from The Pound shop and i'm able to stick my stamps on both sides. These ones are mainly used for my Tilda collection but until i get some more Tildas i am also storing my Debbie Moore swirl stamps. Here's a couple of pics, sorry if they're not very good but the sun keeps going in and out, OMG!! Did i just say the sun, havn't seen the sun for ages.
