    Thanks Everyone for the great organizations skills for those dies!

    Geri B, Love the idea of a cross reference. I keep a list on my ipad too.

    I hung a wire file rack on the wall for my long strip dies--one per file shelf, laying flat, nothing on top other than the plastic wrapper (or idea sheet if wrapper is toast). My Qubes and some other smaller separate dies on shelved on a big plastic tub (full of wool sweaters preshrunk for making mittens). I have more file folder racks that sit on top and put one die in each rack so no touching.

    Mine are in the original wrappers until they rip, then I scotch tape them. The idea sheets are tossed because all that info is on line. My dies are stored on their sides in several wire file folder storage devices.

    I thought about making a muslin sleeve for each of my dies, maybe make different colors ones for each theme of die but then thought that was a lot of work so haven't.

    Too funny One x One! Hmm, I was thinking of using one of the seal a meal bags to make new wrappers. Way more work than we should do. LOL.
