ive got little tubs, but its a PITA having to open them all, all the time..
ive got something with seperate compartments but i find it really hard to pick the beads up and out from it.

hmmmm

Oh I have 6 boxes with compartments for glass beads, one for each colour range, a compartmented boxes for all the different findings, a compartmented box for ss findings.
Another one for silver charms etc and another for crystal beads plus various tins etc full of other stuff. It all sits on a pink shelf unit with a drawer which holds all my wires, thong, elastic, cord etc etc and other bits and pieces that I use. Will have to photograph.

This is the bain of my life I swear (well that and uploading products lol). Beads and findings are in a compartmentised craft box so that we are able to do repairs inhouse.

I bought these from Viking which seemed like a great idea at the time but aren't because the blinking draws are always falling out - http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/catalogSku.do;jsessionid=0000Meya0dHJiIkqsWHB3DmCb cW:11g06oige?id=16BOX&pr=Q2H&N=2%20541

Also on the medical ID side we have over 50 styles each in at least four sizes so it is a nightmare keeping track of them all.

Currently they are in plastic bags in little storage crates - a bit like this but smaller - http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/catalogSku.do;jsessionid=0000Meya0dHJiIkqsWHB3DmCb cW:11g06oige?id=HW44-RD&pr=Q2H&N=2%20541

However as a system it sucks and now we have all this extra jewellery stock it is a nightmare as they are in more of the same.

So we are going to convert a whole wall (if we can find one somewhere) and put little pegs up on a slat board and then hang the bags from that, it will be in style and size hopefully.

But we are yet to find a suitable place to put this system so it is still nothing more than a thought at the moment. I'm plugging for converting my dining room wall as it is the only free space but as we were going to sell up DH didn't think that was a great idea!

Honestly it is a complete and utter nightmare and maybe a trip to B&Q will be in order tomorrow seeing as our moving house fell through this week and it looks as if we are staying here.

Ive got a diamond engagment ring on, and 4 of the diamonds are a blue colour under a sunbeds light ( yes I know what a thing to be staring at while on there lol) and just wanted to know why.. the others are all sparkly.
