A question for the beading types on my Flist...

I bought a basic bead book that came with some simple supplies...a good choice I thought, for someone who wants to just experiment and start out, see if I like it or not. I've yet to open it though...I'm looking for a good way to store the beads that came with the kit.
Any suggestions?

I have a bunch of subdivided boxes that I use for my beading...I've gotten them at a variety of places, but storables has this one that I've used: http://www.storables.com/shopping.cfm?ProductID=297&Category1=Kids&category2=Crafts&do=detail

If you get the subdivided boxes, make sure they're the type that won't bleed the beads into each others' compartments when turned upside down.

I use little 2" cellophane bags, which I order by the 100 from Fire Mountain Gems.

Oh! I do this too. I use the larger boxes for larger beads mostly, but it's a very good point to check the likelyhood of bleeding.

Fire Mountain Gems has been around for a long time and have always been good to order from for me too.
