Thanks so much for the feature! This made my night! 😉
Love this. When I moved and set up my studio I sorted my supplies, paper,etc. by color. Within the boxes I sorted by type of supply: floss, pearl cotton, ribbon, etc. and put them in zipper bags. When I am working on a project I can move the boxes to my work table. Same way with papers–each color goes into an acetate sleeve that travels to my table.
