Sigh of relief

I've had my embroidery thread stored various (inefficient) ways over the years. I've been wanting to put it on the little card thread holders for a few months now, but put it off since I'm not terribly good at embroidery and don't do it that often. I felt that my time and budget were better served elsewhere. However, while working on a Christmas gift which involved embroidery thread, I realized I should at least find out how much getting organized would cost, because, as tidy as I could make the container holding the thread, it still wasn't anywhere near even acceptably messy. A trip to Ben Franklin on 20% off day, and $2.79 (for box and cards!) later (but not counting the twelve NEW threads I picked out, pictured on the right...), I was on my way to the above blissful rainbow of perfectly tidy organization. Ahh!
