Storing Mini Misters

A while ago I saw a block organiser for Mini Misters on one of the UK shopping channels. The price put me off - and also the fact that it came with 12 Mini Misters. Why should I buy another 12 misters although I had already a sufficient number at home?

The cheaper solution:

I have got two Letraset desktop organisers for ProMarkers, but usually only use one for work in progress. So I simply put the Mini Misters into the second desktop organiser. They fit well and are now handy and organised whenever I want to work with them.

But this is an item where shopping around really pays off. I have seen the desktop organiser recently at prices between £4.50 (at Little Claire) and £7.99 - a massive price difference for such a small item.

Colour Charts for Easy Reference

At the moment I am creating my own colour charts for my ProMarkers, Derwent pencils, Sakura pens and Distress Ink Pads.


For the colour charts I created a layout in PowerPoint, added the details like names and numbers for the individual pens, pencils and ink pads and printed these details onto the cardstock I am using most of the time. Collecting everything in poly pockets and a flexible folder keeps the sheets nice and tidy and keeps it all together for easy reference.

Although I still need to add some pens the folder has already become my permanent 'companion' whenever it is crafting time. I would not want to be without it any more.

Yes, it takes a bit of time to put all the information together. But now it is so much quicker and easier to match up the colours with cardstock, background papers and each other. It saves a lot of time in the long run and leads to better results when colouring in images.
