Wow, where do I begin? Since I started doing this 2 years ago, I would never have guessed it would grow so fast (I imagine a lot of heads nodding out there!) My biggest problem seems to be marker storage. I started using prescription bottles to get myself organized (recycle, reuse!) but then I had to have all the different kinds of markers - and -horrors - I've now been smitten with Copics!! (That's gonna get me in a lot of trouble Hope DH isn't reading this)
Plus, I hear that storing them vertically dries out the tip at top (makes perfect sense, but where does that leave me?? I'm losing geography on my desk every day!) Hoping I can gather some ideas from my fellow stampers on this challenge to help out!
Thanks for listening!

Love the coffee can idea!! Will have to try that myself when one of my kids move out soon. ;) Otherwise, my best score is one of my kids toy shelves I confiscated when they wanted to give it to Goodwill or take to the dump I forget which. It holds oodles of embellies and some of my clear stamps in clear shoeboxes too.

Yes, it sure does "multiply" quickly, but you've made good progress. I do keep my Copic markers vertical, but I place the brush tip down -- and I've had no problems so far (after many years). I'm sure now you have even more. Hope you are making greater progress. (And don't worry about DH...they never read this! Hehe!) Hugs!
