Actually, I got sidetracked from what I wanted to do.You know when you
go looking for something, and can't find it? and you find something
you'd forgotten about while you're at it? Had one of those moments a
couple of days ago. I wanted some small black flatback pearls for a
card. I couldn't find any, so used white instead. Worked ok, as it was a
black & white card,. But still. So went & had a look on e-bay,
as I have bought a few of them, and flatback acrylic gems, from a lady
on there in the past. Anyway, they arrived yesterday, so I went to put
them away. Yes, I found some black flatback pearls in another box(!), so
decided I needed some sort of memory aid for what I did have. Didn't
take long either. 
I found out a piece of white card from my oddments draw, and using the Tim Holtz pricking ruler and a pin, made marks for where to dab a bit of Pinflair glue gel. That piece of card looks huge, but its only just under 6" square. So I just stuck one of each embellishment onto the card, mainly in colour groups, but not always.The really tiny flatback pearls on the left hand side are meant for nail art, also from e-bay.
Well, this seemed like such a useful idea, I did the same thing with brads. I seem to have a lot- probably because I always forget about them, and they never get used! Seriously, often they were multi packs of shades of a single colour, so although it feels like a lot, there are probably only a dozen or less of most of them. I suppose one day I shall have to get around to doing this with eyelets! So, in theory, having this within eyesight, should make me use them more.
