I nailed a 24x36 corkboard up behind the bedroom door, which seldom gets closed, and pin everything to that. Summers are dusty where I live, so a thin sheet of plastic pinned over the whole thing keeps stuff clean.

I usually use bead a bead storage box (they have them at walmart for a few dollars) & EZY Dose Pill Pouches ( basically mini zip lock bags from cvs or drugstore.com)... plus this works really well for traveling. bead boxes work great too!

(I'm sure it'd be great for a lot of styles of earrings, too, but I don't wear them.) I got a French memo board (you know the one with the criss-cross-y ribbons) and T-pins (Kohl's and Wal-Mart) and stick two pins in [almost vertically, out at an angle a little] an inch apart and hang my necklaces from there. I can hang several deep depending upon the shape of the necklace. I hung it on my wall with some new 3M Command hooks, and it's beautiful, glittery and always on display. The few earrings I have are in a small plastic drawer thing on my counter ... not at all beautiful. But I do love C's card idea! For my necklaces, I’ve installed my favorite part of my bathroom.

But yes -- my advertisers know who I am; so do the affiliates (and their PR people, joy). I got the cards because I was ordering some other stuff (wedding-related) from Vista Print and thought, hey, they're cheap, why not. And they're "old" because, well, old name -- I took my husband's. (Also: decided it looked stupid to say "CEO" of a blog.) I actually just ordered other ones using that $3.37 deal we mentioned the other day.
