Very cool 😎 loved everything special the song

[@carolineknight9152]

TFS my new project my containers are all mixed with embellishments 😄💕

[@MoiraOReilly]

Fantastic tips and great organisation Adele ... thanks so much. I live in the French part of Canada, and we often refer to McDonalds as MackDO lol :)

[@laurabarnes5283]

Love seeing how other people store their embellies. I sort by type though, not color, until I have too much for a single container anymore, then I subcategorize by type.

[@laurabarnes5283]

Laura Barnes subcategorize by color within type, I mean. Jeez..that sounds really obsessive...

[@kathrynmagnus8676]

Thank you Adele for this video. I was up last night, couldn’t sleep and came across this. What a brilliant idea. So I went a bought some containers this morning and sorted mine. Will eventually sort everything into the one colour containers, buttons and all.

[@ellbell46]

Maccas here. All the men in my family are called Macca too. You have sooooo many embellishments. I am trying my best not to have a massive stash, to use what I have kind of thing. I just lump them all in together, but alas, the little ones get lost.

[@lindawalker9684]

I purchased these containers as photo containers & they are just right to hold 4x6 photos, BUT this is good idea because my embellishments are everywhere.

[@Marcylg]

I noticed that you have cork storage in 2 places. Could you combine them to give you an extra container for pink? Another awesome video! I havee no idea what that sausage thing is you were talking about!

[@mrsmcintyre69]

I would do multi and cork together.

[@chrisfrost241249]

Hi Dell. Can you give me a link to where you bought these containers and what they are called. Would appreciate it. Love your videos and also organisation tips.

[@witchCRAFTer]

Your not the only one who still takes a teddy with you on trips! I am 24 and I have a Panda Teddy

[@shesaidtru]

pretty excellent - so organised Adele. :) Yep - we call McDonalds Maccas - or MickyDees here in Nz - I think it's the Aussie/Kiwi way.... nicknaming! We nickname everything and everyone... or is that just me 'Del - eke! Melody :)

[@kellilindley3953]

Another video full of fantastic ideas for sorting my stuffs. You have me convinced to break down the packages that have just a few embellishments left in them. Thanks again 😺

[@stylesformiles79]

last time I watched this video, I went to my stash and did all my rhinestones, pearls & basic cut aparts on a batch of these boxes. Just after that I went to a crop & it was sooo handy! Thanks Adele for the great idea!

[@user-cj3wx2xb2w]

I love storing badges with cute quotes, words and patterns. This video is my goal.

[@Dee-d.to4]

How crazy at the timing on this video! I'm taking a few days off next week to get my craft room back up and organized. I watched this like my life depended on it. Lol. Your wonderful to watch! Have a great day!

[@froschkoenigin1991]

Wow. This is such a helpful video. I think I have to go through all my embellishments and sort them this way. In the part of Germany were I live, we also call Mc Donalds Mekkes/Meckes. Greetings from Germany.

[@bubbigbub]

We find excuses all the time to go to Bunnings for the 'sangas' lol!

[@valerieturner7787]

I love this idea. Right now I have mine by theme but I find it a difficult task still finding what I need. And a lot of things can do more than one them.

[@d3k2p0]

So you have cork in your 4x6 box and 3d elements box...you could totally put them together in the 3d box and spread out your turquoise.

[@mycraftyboutiqueco]

Loved watching you sort everything. Very inspiring. You also make me laugh. We call McDonalds Mickey D's here in the US. TFS hugs luisa

[@darume7]

Can you please share the link to where you got the containers from.. I couldn't find them at Scrapbook Cottage and I have been looking EVERYWHERE for them!! Great video BTW.. :) xxx

[@521LakeStreet]

we have these here in the US and one larger with 24 of the cases....love how you did this, I have one of the 24 for color, one for fall and Halloween and one for Christmas stuff! Sandy

[@carolynbuchanan1245]

Love it. I use the Bunnings small tactic boxes which look to be a similar size to those. I also keep my word/phrases in their own rather than by colour. Got the same box for wv. And I also keep packs as they are until somewhat used, then sort the remaining. And yes love the Bunnings lunch. When we do that at home for lunch on the weekends we refer to it as a Bunnings lunch rather than snags n bread 😀. I've also got one of those other tactic large boxes like the pl one but has removable tubs - which has the 3d elements (buttons n brads flowers flair etc) thanks for sharing x

[@jammieheckenberg5799]

Loved this video!! Love to see how you store all your scrap plain & pattern paper.

[@jennileecreates]

What an awesome storage system! I have 12 of those containers and have been trying to figure out how to store my scraps. It's been driving me crazy! Don't know why I never thought to color code them before!

[@prscrapper6225]

Thank you Adelle. I have my wood veneer in what looks like the same container (stop and smell the wood veneer) and have been thinking of sorting my other treasures in containers. You may have convinced me. Good thing those containers are bunny proof. ;)

[@izzie5242]

We Germans call McDonald the same way :) Thanks for this video It really helped me since I wanted to colour sort my stuff for a while now but didn't know how to start.

[@scrappinnwrappin]

Loved this video too! :) I just organized all those plastic containers into collections and put them all in my alex drawer unit. I have travel, wood veneer, acetate, vellum, and symbols in their own containers. I'm thinking when I have used enough of the collection, I will sort them into the containers for "things" instead of collections. I have been organizing and purging my room for the last couple of weeks and vlogging it. what a process!! tfs!!

[@jossiewebb82]

really need to do something like this. I have embellishments everywhere and often forget to use them on my layouts.tfs

[@pearlauger]

I LOVE your wood veneer collection..I'm jello lol...I'm just slooowly building my embellishment stash...new scrapbooker here :)

[@1997superchickk]

Ooh, I love the term mackers for mcdonalds. I'm def going to need to borrow that word and use it here. Also, I think you could totally combine your multi-color with your cork as you definitely need to spread out your pink to two cases. Love the pink embellies! Jess M :)

[@ClaudiavanR]

Is it weird that I found it really entertaining watching you sort out your embellishments? xD I have no stash myself but when I finally get a proper one, I will definitely 'steal' your idea for the organization. TFS! :)

[@ChrissiMannix]

I NEED to find a set (or 3) of those containers! Love the video lovely.

[@beachduckcrafts3768]

In the uk, it's quite often called Maccie D's. You have to go when you are hungover but they don't serve breakfast late enough!! No-one is ready before half ten if they've had a big night!

[@tracyleecornish5398]

Love Bunnings and their storage solutions lol We also love the Sausages too lol Macas coffee is the best!! Aussie Girl through and through lol. Love your containers too would love to get the Cottage containers they are perfect.

[@jacquichimes]

Do you still sort this way

[@lorraineharris6259]

Love your videos!!!! Can't get enough of some Adeleness!!!! 😉

[@AshleyHorton]

Great organization tips Adele! I am too lazy, so I just stick the whole collection in one bag! HA!!

[@karenlai2379]

I used the same way of storage as you did for embellishments and wood veneer. Love those containers. Back in Malaysia we use Mc-d. Not that interesting lol

[@LesScrapperiesdeSahra]

I love how you store your embellishments it's clever and seems don't take place, I live in France so my question is where can I buy this boxes with 6 little boxes inside please ? Thanks for sharing 😉 you make me laughing xo

[@jazzescrapper]

It's Mickey D's in Las Vegas, or at least in my house....lol...again love your videos. You ROCK....I hope June crawls by, I am loving your daily videos

[@SaraMitchell09]

If you didn't explain Mackers I would have had no idea you were referring to McDonalds.... lol.... Sometimes we call it Mickey Ds ....

[@courtneyleah84]

Mickey D's = American McDonald's That's what we call it here. :)

[@courtneyleah84]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one! *****

[@fairydhust]

Yep here in States we say Micky D's! hahaha!!!

[@ashleyrivera1301]

Great ideas and you made me laugh!

[@craftyrouze]

You're such an organized hoarder 😁

[@renaewilliams8126]

We call it Mickey D's

[@NurseLisaTV]

Great ideas!! Thanks! :=)

[@tracywodonga8112]

in the final bit it occurred to me that I really could be sorting mine while watching you! Oh well!

[@ChelleBeeby]

I'm so glad I'm not alone in disliking green, normally I keep that to myself as people give me a look of horror when I say I don't like green... hahaha TFS your storage :D

[@heynaedaily]

Is it just me or do you have two different places for cork? Couldn't you combine the two my love? I have an iris but its sitting down in grafton!!! Ahhhh I need it so I can start sorting my embellies and getting my shit sorted on the scrap desk!! It is driving me insane!!! Love you xoxo

[@carolynbuchanan1245]

I noticed the 2 corks as well :)

[@xo.juliegm]

I love this idea but I like to keep pkgs together still to name manuf for a layout etc. What do you do then? I so need to do this so I use all my stash!

[@zoecurrie2423]

Great video Adele! Can you pleeeease link to the embellishment boxes? 😍

[@monastevens987]

Zoe Currie -Hobby Lobby sells those boxes as a complete set.

[@ChrissiMannix]

Could you post a link where you get these from. I can't find anything like it

[@simplymarisa8]

This is how I store mine too but I have to keep them by collection. I don't know how to scrap by color lol!! How did I not know that you had a marathon dude??? Wth?! Lol!

[@judyhackley7025]

Y

[@deborahwalters5965]

In Montreal, Canada we call Mac Donald’s “Mac Do’s” sounds like doe as in a female dear.

[@afeeser]

I call McDonald's "Micky D's"

[@rhondabedsaul8533]

Mickey D’s. McDonald’s

[@cindym3578]

Oh hell no. Way to much coffee

[@catlady5862]

Why don't you just put color stickers on the outside of your boxes so that you can see the colors that are inside ? I would put color labels on instead of white ones . Enjoyed your video. Why are you wearing a sweater when your video is dated for June ? In June in the united states we wear short sleeve or sleeveless tops . Just wondering . Have a great day !

[@Inkiequill]

Good idea 😊 I’m in Australia where our Winter runs from June to August. The seasons are completely opposite to the US.
