i feel really really bad about letting this fall to the way side ... i have completed A-F and then let it stop ... since i am printing Album pages this evening almost to the exclusion of all else i will work on this some more this evening while printing and see how far i can get...

I thought about this in the past few days and wondered were this project was at... get to work! LoL

I am i am this is a PITA project i have to edit a lot of stuff to make the info fit the format and its hard at times to decide what to cut and what to keep.. in some cases i have to make duplicate places as there are so many intricate details to the country and time frames etc..

G done!!

gonna try and do H but.. my Canada collection is calling me to put more stamps in place... this will get done its just going to take awhile.

From what I gather, reading thru the thread, you are making a worldwide album. You are allowing space for one stamp from every country. Is it countries from the past, present, or a mixture of both? Just curious. Thanks!

the short answer is - yes- LOL

there will be a 2 spaces for each country.. this will be available to members free when complete on PDF.

the 2 spaces (for me) will be for stamps from before and after WWII, however as i go through the process i am finding that some issuing entities existed only before, during, or after WWII they are included and in some cases (GB regional for example) i have a set of spaces for each region..

this all said i am 67 pages in with A-G complete and moving on to H and the rest as time (and desire permits)

this is a crazy big project and will be great i think when complete even in its basic form (that is to say with out the opposing pages with flags and such... )

Wow that is awesome!!! Now I understand how much time it takes to do a task as this.

i see you got my PM LOL

Yes I did. Maybe once done, you could somehow sell it on the web. I would definitely pay for it.

nope not at all it is Free to Stamp Bears Members and is not available to others.

i may go so far as to print it for members (depending on size and cost) just to ensure it does not get passed along. LOL (not likely but its a dream )

I understand, but could someone scan it and put it back into a pdf??? Just a thought!!!

they could but it would not look as good i would imagine... either way likely to be PDF any way but i just want to try to limit its access...

just me being picky ...

With all that work, I would protect it too. Maybe sell it for just what the paper and shipping cost. Just an idea....

oddly i really dont want to make money on these pages... even to cover expenses...
