Beading Pet Peeves - whats yours??
In message , Sterling
writes Mine - For several years now, I've been buying these great clear multi-compartment storage boxes at ACMoore to keep my beads in. When I first started using them as my storage solution, they were perfect - and still are in many ways. Recently, however, they started putting a sticker on the top of each box. A STICKER on a CLEAR box! Can anyone tell me why? I mean, it costs money for the adhesive for the sticker and there is definitely no need for it. They used to put a plain label under the cellophane cover. That worked great cause all I had to do is peel away the cellophane and throw it and the label away. Now, they put stickers on the top. Does this make any sense?? I mean the reason we buy CLEAR boxes is because we want to see whats inside the box - right? I just spent an hour and untold amounts of lighter fluid cleaning these pesky labels off the top... Yeah, it would be easier to just buy a different box, but when you set up your bead storage with a certain kind of container, you want to continue to use that same container.... UUGH!! Whats with the sticky labels?? Sterling My pet peeve is to see a design in a USA mag. and cannot get the bits for it in UK. By the time I have got them all together I have gone off the idea.

LOL Hugs Shirley Getting what I need/want when I want it. I've got two online places I order from here in Oz, they're both really good, but I needed some 2 cut 2mm bugles for a project but haf to settle for normal 2mm bugles in the colour I wanted as the only place that had the bugles in the colour I needed was out of stock of the 2 cut. We used to have a couple of bead shops locally but I think we only have one left now. I store quite a few of my beads in the little mustard jars, Masterfoods mustard comes in glass jars with a screw on plastic lid. I just peel off the label and put them through the dishwasher, the glue usually comes off first go. I really should get at least on more plastic tray box to store stuff in. -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |
