Brad organization

Finding what I need quickly makes me more efficient. When I am efficient I don't get frustrated, which makes me happy - so being efficient makes me happy - :) I love brads. Period. I don't know quite what it is but something about brads on a card makes me swoon...wierd, eh? :-D Some brad colors I use a ton of and as a result maintain a large stockpile: silver, gold, white, brown, etc. I store these large-quantity brads in glass-lidded tin containers called watchmaker tins, found at www.leevalleytools.com. The ones pictured here are about 2" in diameter. The see-through drawer I store these nice tins in is above eye level (when seated - I sit when I stamp), so the nice glass lids do me little good. So one day, out of frustration from reaching up and grabbing the wrong color....yet again...., I took a 1/16" hand-held hole punch, and punched four holes equidistant from each other (north, south, east and west on the tin) and inserted brads along the tin sides. Now I can see from the top and sides what color and size brad is in each container. I also punched the new 7gypsies brad tins too with this method.
