I am just going to have to hold off until I move....but it's killing me. I'm scared to even look at his site at this point. But I think that one of the things I am going to invest in when I move is new paper bins. I have the kind that are towers and they have clear plastic bins that hang on a peg board like back. When you fill up the trays, the plastic pegs will break and I have several that are just hanging. If you bump the tray, then pegs will break. I'm so tired of them. I found some new ones on line that are wire bins and so far, the cheapest tall tower I can find runs about $99. I'll have to keep looking, but I think I will have to get those.
Oh....and I found something else in my attic that I had quite forgotten about! When DS was very very little, I bought this cabinet that are like the cubes, but it is all one piece. It was an organization system for toys and stuff. It had little plastic boxes that you put into each cube. It would be great for my craft room. It's is probably somewhere in the 6 feet wide and maybe 3 or 4 feet tall range.

I so understand Kim ! I just got the colored microbeads from Tyler and I happened to have some little plastic jars so I think I am going to put them in there so I will see them and remember to use them! That is one of my problems - I need to remember what I have!! LOL
The cabinet with cubes sounds wonderful. Would be great as you are settling in again! Good luck!

That way, if I see something on sale while I'm out shopping, I don't buy something I already have. My problem is keeping the list up when I buy more things... LOL

Oh! This did give me an idea, though! (I know, but don't look so startled!) I have a bunch of small glass jars from when we bought two cases of sliced mushrooms. I could put stuff in there, label them, and store them on their sides so I can see the ends and the contents. Hmmm...maybe if I...we'll see...

I have a lot of magnetic tape left over since I am NOT buying more dies, so if anyone needs some, just lmk!
