Making the tags each month for the 12 Tags of 2014 is definitely fun for me. I have been collecting so many of Tim's ideaology trinkets for years and keeping them in their packaging. I don't want to even open the packs sometimes because I want to keep everything nice and neat! I finally found a perfect solution to store all of these little goodies and I affectionately refer to it as the "Tower of Tim". I sat down this month, and finally opened all the packages and put each set of trinkets in its own drawer. These Art Bin drawers that I ordered from Amazon.com are the ideal storage for me.
The first one has a bunch of small drawers for the things I know will never make their way back into the package:And the second one has big drawers that hold some of the larger items:
Here's what they look like all filled up with Ideaology goodness. I added dividers to my drawers so I could store a few items in each drawer and added labels so I could find everything easily. These units are easy to bring over to my table when I am working on projects so I can have all my little trinkets at my fingertips. Any of the items that have little stickers that go with them are kept together in the drawer with the stickers:
Here's a closer look at the drawers with all their labels:
It is super easy to pick out the things I want now that I don't have to try to close up all the packaging!

Awesome storage system. My life is so much easier since I put all the idea-ology/tim stuff in a storage unit with little drawers. Should have done it long ago!

What a fun idea! ^^ I have a box that I call my bling box ... I am ok with things getting kind of mixed up. Right now the only separation that I have with metal or plastic items. I do know what you mean though I do tend to take extra of my Ranger products...lol Most of them are stored together one shelf. Love the other shelf that you have in the background with the inks! I have seen someone else with one and I have been thinking about adding it when I am able to have more room and Money. =^_^=
