Old stamps

So I'm a self confessed nerd and when I was younger I had one of the more nerdy hobbies ... Stamp Collecting! The story being that my aunt moved to New Zealand and thought signing me up to a stamp collecting club would be a good way to keep in touch with me and then when I was at Brownies and wanted my collectors badge this then became the perfect excuse. Of course like many of my collections it was sorted in an unusual way, by country, but instead by animal! (I think I wanted to be a vet at the time, as most 7 year olds do). Another example of very good sorting skills is my books; by how much fun they are, and my DVDs which essentially has two categories; disney and not disney. Perfect ways to sort them in my opinion but the boyfriend disagrees, his DVD's are in immaculate alphabetical order (at least he hasn't sorted them by genre).


So after looking through the secondary stamp book, that includes boring non-animal stamps, I am currently experimenting with turning a few of the stamps in my old collection into some earrings!! So far they look pretty good, I just need to make sure they are strong enough and don't break after only wearing them once.
