I have started collecting covers, and purchased a couple albums. Come to find out they only fit regular household sized envelopes. I don't want an album for every size envelope I come across.
Im sure many here have overcome this problem. Hints?
Also, how do you all store everything you have for stamping? I live in a small apartment and have stamp stuff everywhere. I love organization, but can't be obtained it seems. I also like it to be portable so I can take to work (paramedic supervisor) and play with my hobby during down times.
Lastly, anyway to keep hinges from curling worse that the US team? I put some rice in the packet in hopes it would absorb the moisture, but not working well.

Tell me about it -- the more I try and organise the less organised it feels! I have a small box room I call my stamp room. Initially items of mine goes into stock books or stock cards and then into prinz pages for scanning if needs be. For covers I will use the 2 pocket prinz pages, if the cover is larger then 1 pocket pages will hold them. Can't help with the hinges as I never use them.

I too bring my hobby to work - matter of fact I'm at work right now :-)

I think we all strive to have everything organised but Im leaning closer towards giving up on that notion.

Good Luck !

Have you considered a acid free archival cover box and then place the covers in archival acid free sleeves. You can separate them with index cards and label them however you like. Plus it is easy to rearrange or start a new category.
