Keep it close at hand...
I use this all the time for a lot of reasons... it's small and portable, it's fun, it takes less time than spelling everything out with larger stamps using one letter at a time and, because it's smaller than most alpha stamps, you can use it in spaces other stamps wouldn't work (like on tags or in journal boxes). Also, you can use it for more than just alphas. There are also words, ornaments, etc. that can be used with this base. I keep mine handy and would suggest you do the same.
