Distressful Storage...

Here's the top of my box:And the back: And the front: And, inside, filled with the ink pads:Where, oh, where can we store our collection of Distress Inks? The cool metal storage boxes aren't available anymore, unless you are lucky enough to come across one on eBay and you are a bazillionaire, too! When they kept coming out with more colors, Lyn and I were, well, distressed! We just love to store and rearrange and organize our supplies... so in the spring of 2010, I started looking at boxes, all kinds. Finally settled on a lightweight (ish) wooden box from HL, and Mike, bless him, made and installed the necessary partitions. Then I went to work decorating... did I mention that Lyn's birthday was coming up at that point? Make that two boxes! I like pinks and teals, Lyn's favorite color is red, so the accents suit each of us. The boxes hold 30 pads, so along with the original storage metal boxes, we were good to go. We are working on similar storage for our Distress Stickles and Distress Re-inkers now.
