Have now done the flower series of 2004-10. Little bit more complex as a number of perf/paper, type variations. The main coil and booklet stamps I have put in value order, omitting some minor perforation changes. As I collect used stamps I have put all the souvenir sheet stamps on a page of their own ( I actually have just one, which is damaged) as they are unlikely to turn up postally used except on a cover.
I could have used my Steiner pages but they do not all appear together, so thought I would like to see them in a set as it were.
Have now sorted the stamps for the first couple of flower pages. Have gaps to fill, so looking for auctions and approvals folks.
Those pages turned out very nice! Good use of cold winter days.
Thanks Sally, they look better in the hand, scanner and reduction in size do not quite do them justice. Probably look even better mint and black mounts.
Good looking pages,
it is nice to see all the flowers together like that.

Have now done the Baby wildlife pages, scans below, need a lot of the Booklet stamps.
And here are the pages for Beneficial insects and the Queen issues from 1987-2000, lots of fun identifying the different paper types, but pleased with the result and it stopped me from clearing snow in minus 29c weather, quite windy as well.
The strip of three 3c stamps shows the inscription shift on the middle stamp.
Pages from today, more flag overs, scenes, lighthouses and mills. More agony with paper types on the scenes.
Well what fun we had today, light snow on and off but milder. A few more scans of some new pages.
Must be almost summer in Manitoba, got up to minus 1 c today. Got the snowblower out and cleared snow for an hour. Managed to get some more pages done, as below, finally found a 9.2 Horizontal coil stamp. Was beginning to think they were mythical.
Now to track down all those missing stamps.
What a job!
I am envious.
I have completed a France Art Postage Stamps album.
Using the word processor program, Word.
Next step, mounting the stamps. Another big task.
It is a real labor of love.
Congratulations!
Just to continue boring everyone, here are the annual flower issue pages, temporarily on plain paper, pending a visit to Staples. Lots of gaps as usual. Not sure why the rose has a line, not on the page or stamp, scanner blip!
Edit. OOPs, just noticed an error on the Rhodos page, will have to correct that one.
As it is bone chilling weather outside, minus 30, not counting the wind chill, thought I would sort some pages out for the used (not mint) everyday usage postage.
Starting with the Flag Over, Maple Leaf and Traditional Trades.
I'll work on the Flower, Queen, Animal and the various small scenic ones over the next week or two.
If anyone sees any errors/omissions please let me know, so that I can correct things before mounting stamps. So here are some scans.
