I’ve used the fridge bins for years in my stamping room. I find them at Fred Meyer as well as our local hardware store. Always check the “kitchen” and “bathroom” isles, you will find all sizes and shapes of these bins. I store them on their sides too. I also found divided ones that hold A2 size cards that I make it easy to organize by occasion.

Hello, Ruby from Springfield, Oregon

[@bethbenson1931]

Two things: first, thanks for letting us know the stores we can visit to look for containers. Haven't been out much because of pandemic, but am setting up a larger stamp room in new house and I am sure I could use some new storage solutions. :) Second, I wish you could allow those of us watching on replay to read the live chat. I know it can be done on KZbin because others do it. Very strange just hearing the comments you say back to them without knowing what they said. First time viewer and subscriber, so will be going back and watching your old videos. Happy New Year!

[@pattystamps]

The comments are on the Facebook Live, and I don't know any way to transfer them to KZbin, but you are welcome to read them on the facebook replay: facebook.com/pattystamps/videos/707018567637220

[@bethbenson1931]

Unfortunately, I can't go on Facebook, so the live chats I am able to read must have been done on KZbin to begin with.

#rewatch Patti, do you keep your embellishments in the original package then into the Avery one?

usually yes, but sometimes I just take them out and slip them into the Avery pocket

[@joannheiselman3120]

[@alexmassie5791]

Love how excited you are about organizing ❤ I so relate. I had a thought when you held up the wider package of embellishments. What if you cut the pack to fit your smaller pouch and then you could store them with the rest and it doesn’t have to be outside of the container. Just a thought maybe someone already suggested, didn’t read through. Happy New Year!! And Happy mini catalog live day 😉

[@pattystamps]

Yes, thank you, I should probably do that!! Several people suggested it.. sometimes I just can't see the forest for the trees and didn't even THINK of that! LOL :)

[@kellywentworth557]

Great tips Patty! For the embellishment pack that is too big to fit, could you cut it in 1/2 and add back-to-back to your avery pocket to make it fit with the others?
