Week 21 - Pens and Pencils

Did you notice how these are getting shorter and shorter....I guess I don't have very much to organize because a lot of these topics don't apply to me (or apply, but because I have so few of the items, I currently don't have a storage issue with them).  

So...in my pea-sized brain...these should be stored by type.  She does mention by color - but that just seems odd to me, probably because I have so few.  I do, however, have my copics together....AND by color...ha ha!
I have a couple of watercolor pencil sets and they are still in their packages and stored that way (and are currently buried in those iris storage keepers ... and now that I think of it, I also have some markers from Michaels that I bought a long time ago...hmmm...I wonder if they are all dried up - they weren't that special.

The original post about this is here.  She includes links to various ideas on how to store these items.

This is what I do with my copics - I originally had them in unused baby wipe boxes, but they were cumbersome and I wanted something easier to transport.  THEN I put them in the plastic clam-shell boxes that used to hold my Stamping Up stamps (I have them all removed from the wood, so I didn't need any of that any more).  They were fine...BUT I found these fantastic boxes with a lid in the bead aisle at Michaels and I LOVE them!!! 

Since I took that photo - its changed a bit...I bought 1 more container and use 4 of the narrow sections so I have them sorted better (by color) and moved the larger section with the other larger section to put my Stampin Up Ink spots in it.  LOVE LOVE LOVE!
