Like everyone else, I'm always on the lookout for a better storage idea. Well, my husband and I went to a gun show yesterday and I found these great little boxes that are designed to hold re-loaded bullets. I picked up 2 of the largest ones they had for only 3.50 each. They are perfect for holding and transporting mini misters because They are a super tough plastic and the top will come down over them nice and tight and help prevent any leaks. They can also be used for Copics (or any other marker) but they are a little too long for the lid to cover them.

Great find but I have found the perfect thing for my copics (I have about 125) is the CTMH acrylic stamp box holder comes with dividers and a handle works great and I still have room ro grow

I'll try to post a pic soon. I seem to have a lot of trouble doing that. Plus, I haven't been staying home much lately. I've been staying with my in-laws helping MIL while she recovers from a broken ankle.

I found this Artbin storage for markers and I love it. I bought an extra tray and it holds the markers great. I got it here http://www.dickblick.com...chel/?clickTracking=truegzbug attached the following image(s):

Here are the pics of the ammo boxes. The smaller one shows how it can be used for both the mini misters and for the marker storage. I even put in one of the fat sharpie markers to give you a better idea of size. (my Copics weren't handy at the time but they fit too.) The larger box has a hinged lid so it is not adjustable for height, but it makes a great storage box for my Smooches. I'm sure I'll find other things to go in it too. I hope this helps some of you. These boxes are really inexpensive and are great alternatives to some of the design-specific storage boxes. LisaDePugh attached the following image(s):

Calmom, If your hubbs is ANYTHING like mine, he knows exactly what is in his inventory AND where and how it is placed. I just try to go with him as much as possible when he goes to these shows so I can pick up anything I think I might use. I like these containers like this because I am very much a "traveling crafter". I love to go to crops and retreats and workshops so I need portable storage.

Thank you Lisa---
I think I'll see if I can find some of the adjustable ones for my misters.
Thanks for the pics now to find a store to get some at.

You might have better luck finding the size & style you need if you look online. BTW, I've thought about getting a small gun safe to put all my memory card, discs, etc. in for safe, fire proof storage.
