Organizing, Day 2-Container Madness

I've spent most of the weekend making labels, which was a little repetitive. My labels are just plain old Avery labels that I made on the computer.

Containers!

I just unpacked all the containers we bought. We went to Solutions, and I went a little crazy. But this gives me a wide variety of options. Some are actually for crafting supplies, some are like for nuts and bolts, but are easily used in a craft space, some are for documents...

I also got some more unique items from different places in the store.

First, this is an anti-tarnish container, that I can use for sterling silver, bronze and copper. This will help keep the rings polished.  I personally dislike the look of tarnish and oxidization, but some people actually really like it on bronze and copper especially. I found these in the jewellery section of Solutions, which was also with makeup storage. I thought there might have been some good stuff with the makeup, but there wasn't. Luckily, there was plenty of anti-tarnish jewellery stuff, and it was on sale for 40% off. That really made it worth it.

These are spice holders. That's right, spice holders. Like sage, cinnamon, those spices. They are three stacks of 4 containers on a lazy Susan (or as we affectionately call them in my family, a Lazy Erica, after my aunt). These look fantastic for my jump rings. I can keep a lot of one size, with different colours, in the same general area.

I think these are my favorite. I had seen a lot of people store beads and things in spice jars, so why couldn't I store jump rings? It seems perfect.

Solutions had a lot of great options in spice racks too. Some you could really only use for spices, like the ones that measure out a set amount of spice, but there were plenty that work for anything, including jump rings.

This is an egg holder from Fridge Binz. It can hold 14 eggs, OR it can hold charms! Charms are easy to sort of things bounce around, unlike some jump rings. So if my charms move around, it's no big deal.

I saw them, and I knew I could use them.


So now I'm going to take a small break, have a snack, and then I get to start putting supplies into boxes! Exciting!
