So many fun inspirational uses from Etsy buyers for such an inexpensive item!

Most of the date stamps may go to the year 2028, but I don't check each one, so it's safe to say they'll at least go up to the year 2026. That's a lot of years of stamping!

Awesome product, love it so much. Using it in my reading log for the dates I read books.
If I was patient enough to keep a reading log, I'd use my date stamp for for it too. Unfortunately, I probably should use my date stamp to plan out all the books sitting in my reading pile waiting for me to finish other books!
Here is a partial list of my current and future reading: Transcending Levels of Consciousness, The Stairway to Enlightenment by David R. Hawkins. Actually I'd like to read all his books and sampled many of them from the library. Picker's Pocket Guide to US Coins & Currency by Arlyn G. Sieber. All books by Ajahm Brahm, righ now I have Mindfulness Bliss and Beyond.
Gospel Prism by Gerald Weaver, which is the book that was in Mary Colvin's personal possessions that came with her after her death. This included a backpack containing basic supplies: a change of clothes, two satellite phones and a black box containing a 387-page manuscript by her lifelong friend, Gerald Weaver. Colvin's sister, Cathleen 'Cat' Colvin set about finding Weaver and along with Sean Ryan, then foreign editor of The Sunday Times, helped to have his book published. Mary Colvin was an American war correspondent journalist who worked for the British newspaper The Sunday Times from 1985 until her death. She died while covering the siege of Homs in Syria. In July 2016, lawyers representing Colvin's family filed a civil action against the government of the Syrian Arab Republic claiming they had obtained proof that the Syrian government had directly ordered her assassination. Read more about her on wikipedia here.
Abdul Sattar Edhi Autogiogrpahy: A Mirror to the Blind. Edhi was a Pakistani philanthropist, ascetic, and humanitarian who founded the Edhi Foundation, which runs the world's largest volunteer ambulance network all through private donations, along with homeless shelters, animal shelter, rehab centers, and orphanages across Pakistan.
First I need to find this book for less than $100. I'm not a fan of pdf format reading, but I'll take that too, if anyone out there knows where I can find either. Thank you in advance.
Please excuse me going a bit off topic! lol. Back to date stamp stories!

So glad I got this from stamp--it's perfect. It is for dating my Polaroids--I finally got a good camera for taking them :) Good find and a great letter/story that came with it. Good luck on your mission, Kennedy, and thanks for the smile!
I wish I could see her Polaroid collection with the dates stamped on them! It makes my day
when an Etsy buyer thanks me for the smiles!

Story 520:
Love the date stamp! Using it for teaching this year. Quick shipping and what a wonderful note inside, she made my day . I will definitely purchase again from this shop.
I wonder how she uses hers. When I was teaching I had 3-4 of these stashed all over the place! I had one practically tied to my desk for office and nurse referrals, field trip permission slips and other multiple papers that needed to be sent home, , another for homework checkers, all my students loved to check other students homework for name and date and if it didn't have the date on it, they got to use the date stamp! And I had one at home for grading papers and other work that had to be taken home and completed.
Story 521: Love this thing! use it to date stamp all my orders ;) i also love all the little tchotchkes she sent with it!
That is how I use mine now that I'm retired from teaching! I use it for "thank you" note that explains my Hoarder Rehab, etc. I searched for a note from an Etsy buyer, but the closest one I could find was this one and the date just barely got cut off in the photo. Oh well, I tried my best searching!
Story 522:
The "thank you" note may or may not include a bunch of different "tchotchkes," like the ones shown above that are either samples from things listed at one of the four shops or things from my over abundant collections, like stickers!
Story 522:
I appreciated the quick shipping of the date stamp because I'm using it to document the first year of my baby's life in a photo album. Thanks for sending the extra fun ephemera.
So cool! I'd love to see an example of how someone uses their date stamp to document a photo album! Etsy buyers have sent me journal pages, but not a photo album yet! I hope one day to have the time to document my art or photo album using my date stamp.

It stamps the day first, then the month and lastly the year.

Story 523:
Very fast shipping, Stamp works great! I love that the month is spelled out. I prefer the date that way. I was surprised and very pleased to find the small goody bag, with an ink pad as well! I will be using this to date my journal, cards, and letters. Very pleased, many thanks.
So curious to see samples of journal pages, cards and letters using the date stamp! Hopefully one day! I like the more unique layout of the date with the month abbreviated. I am not a number person!

Hi Kennedy,
A lovely day to receive the rubber date stamp :)
I like reading the note from you and find what people share on your blog meaningful. However, I am not a librarian, but I have worked in the college library for my work study and enjoy using various office supplies, such as small note pads, clips, and fountain pens! I hope to purchase a typewriter in the future!
Oh, in fact, I encountered a book about two years ago (returned by a student at the library) called "Stuff : compulsive hoarding and the meaning of things", very interesting psychological analysis of why people hoard things and the impact hoarding has on their lives. I think you might be interested!
Have a great weekend!
Hi there!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and your story! I'll use it on my blog and leave you anonymous! It's so appreciated. I love stamps too and have had my rubber stamp and stationary collection, since childhood. I love typewriters too and gave my childhood one away to one of my students (I'm a retired third grade inner city school teacher), but have since found another one and I actually use it for my art!
Also, you are so correct, I am interested, thank you so much for the book, STuff recommendation! I just looked at the reviews and put it on my book list. I like how it's a compassionate view on hoarding, I need that!
You have a great weekend too and thank you for making my day!
Kennedy
Unfortunately, as you know my book wish list is back logged and I'm still interested in the book STUFF, but maybe I don't even need it anymore! I just want to let go of my hoard and move on!
Here is an example I found on google on how the date stamp could be used for a "save the date" invitation. The date stamps in our shop, dates the day first, then the month and lastly the year.

Saying Goodbye: Soon I hope to let go of all my hoard and be on a different path. Now that I'm getting used to all the changes Etsy is implementing, I'm losing interest in this type of Hoarder Rehab outlet and I think I might be ready to find a faster route to do so!
What I Learned:
1. I don't know how the spacing and font got like this and the fatter spacing is driving me crazy, but I'm just about out of time to finish this posting, so I'm trying my best to live with it! Before, it used to take me about 2 weeks to write a post and now I spend 1-3 hours per post. I still have so much to learn! This is one long posting, but now it looks even longer with this fat spacing! Please excuse the format and everything else with this posting, but I've been working on this for over 4 hours now trying to figure out how to get it to look like how it used to and I'll just have to live with it and hope you can too!
2. With weeks of lack of sleep and days on end of heat waves, I've learned that my mind just about goes anywhere! I'm hoping a less cluttered house will bring a less cluttered mind. Focus, focus, focus!
3. I love how this simple inexpensive date stamp can be used in so many ways, like reading logs, Polaroid photos, teacher tool, Etsy Shop Orders, First Year Baby Photo Album, Journals, Cards and Letters and I've gotten so many more ideas through the years! Thank you all Etsy buyers who have helped me with my Hoarder Rehab these past 5 or so years!
Fun example for a book worm party or book club end of the year party!

Thank you Etsy buyers for sharing your stories! I'm inspired and motivated to finding a faster way to let go of my hoard so I can move on! Move on to reading to my heart's content, building up from yoga to martial arts, spending more time in an organic garden and creating more art!
My purge pile has stopped growing, so hopefully I can keep it growing! It's so difficult for me to decide what to purge and what to list on the shops. This is a good time to reflect on how painful it used to be for me to let go of my hoard and how taking years of baby steps has helped me overcome that pain. So in a few more baby steps, I'll be able to purge more and list less!
Everyday is such an adventure dehoarding on Etsy! I never know who I'll meet and I have met so many Etsy buyers who share their stories with me and every time I glean some insight about where my dehoarding journey is taking me.
Thank you Etsy for the best Hoarder Rehab ever! And for all the kind people I'm meeting who are helping me indirectly and directly in so many ways with my Hoarder Rehab!
Another cute baby shower invitation idea! Books in lieu of cards, so baby can have a built in library before arrival! The date stamps in our shop, dates the day first, then the month and lastly the year.

My new goal is to list 180 items per shop or 50 new items per month. It has not been an easy thing for me to do and I hope I can keep up the pace of new listing 12-13 items per week!
Sales are mostly up. We joined the Etsy Labor Day Sale yesterday, so I'm hoping sales will sky rocket! lol. Our sale will end a week after Labor Day weekend, so either our sale ends either on September 9 or 10th. Some high end jewelry sold due to the sale, so I am very thankful!
It's been over a month since Etsy raised their fees across the board, except for the listing fee and we have felt the Etsy increase by seeing our Etsy bank account profits decrease. I decided to sell more at lower prices and just be thankful of letting go of my hoard.
I'm leaving the fee changes here because next blog post I want to figure out how much the increase is per dollar. If someone already has it figured out and would share it, thank you!
Transaction fee was 3.5%, but it's going up to 5% on July 16, 2018.
New shipping fee, all shipping fees get charged 5% on July 16, 2018.
Processing fee is staying the same, I think, which is 3% plus .25 cents per transaction
Listing fee is still the same of .20 cents for 4 months, or .05 cents per month.
We have joined the Etsy Labor Day Sale now, and it will end around September 9 or 10, 2018.
Another clever way for an invitation using a date stamp, which could also be used for almost any celebration, especially a baby shower with authors: parent names and title: Gender Reveal. It's difficult to read and says, "Friends and family, may we borrow you? Please save the date...

Also, Etsy has added some new features and I wanted to talk about "notifications," but have run out of time again, so hopefully I'll remember to write about it next time.
Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed daily and/or weekly: HoarderRehab with 174 items, The Destiny of Things- 174 items, VintageToGoEasy - 175 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 175 items.
Maybe you'll find something and give it new life and a new home! Thanks for looking!
I've gotten a few requests for old date stamps with the years going back to certain years, I guess this is why. Now I can see how this can be used for "First Baby Year" documentation. I've seen these blown up poster size and framed for several different milestone celebrations. The date stamps in our shop, dates the day first, then the month and lastly the year.

I hope you are as inspired as I am! Thank you for visiting my Hoarder Rehab and The Destiny of Things! Have a great weekend! Will you be stamping your heart out? I will be stamping out a lot of stickers I use for Etsy packaging closures and also because in my "thank you," note I have a spot for "penny for your thoughts" so I like to give a hand stamped penny sticker!
