Organizing my stock has always been a trick. Before I started repeating styles I would make 100 or so different pendants all at once. I'd make all various prints and patterns & photograph & list them all until a new batch was needed. Once I figured out that with a light table (duh) and a little practice I could create almost identical pieces, I had more time to make stock and more stock to organize. Storing each individual print became a nightmare. I never new how many I had and the fear of overselling and not making replacements fast enough was a real one. I kept them all in ziplock bags, each print sorted (mostly) by style or paper type. Through the holidays I had bags everywhere, on the floor, in drawers, behind my desk and even other parts of my home. Not knowing what I had and what I needed to be making more of was a real stress factor. I don't have the time/patience for inventory sheets and if I can't find what I am looking for I make more, which can create a lot of overstock. I needed to be able to see my whole line, in one place, all neat and tidy.

So I went on a hunt and with total serendipity I found these cute plastic boxes at Storables They were the perfect solution to my inventory nightmare. Now everything is all lined up on my new shelf, ordered by print, style and color. It is so nice to see exactly what I have, no more over selling, no more hunting and best of all no more overstock, now I can see if I need it before I make it. This is a SERIOUS time saver & it looks awesome too!
Yay me!
