Die Organization part 2

Hi All,
Will this weekend I needed some things in Wal-Mart...(I hate to go there, to darn big) anyway, I looked in the section were the containers are but could not find anything I could use.... So I went to the Bath STUFF and they had these GREAT baskets and they were 
****MADE IN THE USA****
 
Only 4.97 and the perfect size I needed, with a little room. 7x9x5.25 So I got two, one for my new Die boards and one for my Embossing folders..
That's not all I found........ I got a roll of White Con-Tack paper...... I know what on earth would I want that for...
Long story short, I have bad eyes with dark or shaded areas, I need LOTS of lights on to really see. 
With the Dies on the dark Magnetic boards I was having a hard time seeing them... So I though I'd try a cheap and simple fix and boy does it make a difference for me let me show you.
This how the dies look on the black magnetics, not bad in the pics but when there standing back to back in a box and your looking down into a little narrow view, will it was just not good for me.
Here they are with the WHITE  Con-tact applyed.
and here's a mixed view
And now in there NEW Basket....
 
as you can see there's lots of room left and I have 40 of the Magnetic boards loaded in this basket.
Ok that's it for today....
Let me know if you have any ideas that you use, that might help me too... believe me I can use it!
 
I LOVE to read ALL Comments, so please leave one!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!

I have several of these containers in use....some holding spillover stamps that really need to be put back with their brothers and embossing folders. Still using cd cases for my dies and I have one of these crates in use for the latest dies as well that I just haven't taken time to put into cases. Sometimes everything just gets ahead of me. I love your idea for the contact paper!
