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.

Morning Shaz! I'm drooling over all your sparklies. You card looks like a good idea. I have found that if I don't have the color I want I can sometimes use a Sharpie pen and just color them. Works really good on pearls and the rhinestones sometimes takes a couple of coats to get the color you desire. BUT I do like having a nice stash of both LOL
A darn good idea Shaz, those are the sorts of things that get shoved into a box and forgotten about so having a memory aid is a fab idea.

Great way to keep them all together, Shaz! Blessings

Thank you for sharing Gonzo's story in my comment box ...I roared and then had to read it to DD who roared with laughter too. Some one posted that Dogs can be taught to do tricks where as cats just solve problems ...so true espeially if it is a problem concerning food or the recieving of treats
I have to say your organizing is wonderful ...wish my brain worked like that. Take Care xx
Hi Shaz
Me again, I have been wandering around your lovely blog and notice that you don't yet have a Liebster Award so I would like to pass one on to you, I hope this is ok. Details will be on my blog later,
Have a good week,

Hi Shaz
what a most sensible thing to do - all in one place and all neatly stored and ready to use... I have all of mine in an A5 folder... sorted by colour of course...
I know what the name of your action is called - distraction and procrastination. I can recognise that anywhere because it's what I do - usually when I actually have something to do on a tight deadline lol... are we all the same I wonder?
Hugs
