Hi fellow stamp collectors
My grandfather started me on my stamp collecting journey more years ago than I care to remember

And I'm back to it as I near retirement and hope to finish what I started as well as consider getting specific with my collection going forward.
Currently I collect mint Canadian corner blocks and singles. I'm going to complete from 1962 to 1992 and call that a day. I've got lots of used stamps as well so I will fill in my "Harris" stamp book and go from there.
My dad gave me his worldwide stamp book which would now be about 80 years old and I have a rather large book of international stamps which I don't know much about yet. I'm not sure I'm going to continue on this path, but time will tell.
I will hopefully glean some insight into my Canadian stamp collection and how to really enjoy it. I'm almost finished organizing it into my plate block book and inventory is almost done for those 30 years then the purchasing to fill in the voids start! hahaha Watch out pocket book

This may be a painful but fun experience.
I look forward to learning from all of you!

Welcome Susan; greetings from N.B.
Your restart in collecting is a lot like mine 22 years ago, before I retired. It soon became, "oh well; why not add another country!" Before I knew it, I was struggling to find room for my additions and enjoying every minute of it. So, be prepared and don't set limits. It's a great hobby and let it take you where it will.
