Do you sort your brads? I am sitting here organizing my scrapping area (since it's raining)...and was just wondering how ya'll organize yours?

Are you very particular? By color? By shape? By size? All of the above

Do you just thow them in and dig when you need one?

Are they in compartments or just one big tub??

My are in a compartmentalized (how's that for big word of the day ) little box but they aren't sorted by any means. They start out that way but get totally mixed up. I just normally dig through the lot when it need something.

Mine are dumped in. I don't really have enough brads or space yet to sort them.

OK...I am anal.
For brads alone I have 39 different compartments. All my squares are in one, all flowers in another....all the plain brads are sorted by color. The rest are sorted by shape (all squares, all flowers,all animals, etc.)....others by texture (bling, loopy brads, all brads that look like bottons,etc) If I separated all the shapes AND their colors I would have no place to scrap due to all the containers I would have everywhere!
Of course I have eyelets and all sorts of other stuff like that, but that's another post!

I have a small thing with little drawers, 12, and I have different things sorted. About 4 are for brads, I use a lot of mini brads so 2 drawers for those separated by metal finish in one, colors in the other. The other 2 drawers have med and large.
