The magnets are great but do add weight. I have cubical’s for storage. I use what are called ticket holders from Amazon and store my dies and stamps in them. I have the fabric cubes that fit in my area and use those. It will be heavy no matter what we use. It’s finding what we want. I label the holders which are clear and alphabetize them. TFS

Beautiful collection you have! I'd like to add; I know a lot of people have feelings about White Nights because of where they're manufactured and the war going on; but White Nights as a business & brand has nothing to do with the war. They can't control Putin or Putin's horrible choices. The business shouldn't suffer, in my opinion, just because their leader is a crappy person. Not to mention; the way Russia handles their media & politics doesn't even allow their citizens to know what's really going on. Many of them are decieved and being lied to about the war. They don't even realize how bad the situation is and it's quite literally not their fault. It's the fault of the people in power who take charge of the citizens and control what knowledge they can/can't have. Some people are placed in unfortunate places at unfortunate times. It doesn't mean all of them are bad or support the choices being made in the country. I for one wouldn't want my business to suffer if the president of the US made horrible decisions that affected another country or place. Just because I'm from the US doesn't mean I'm supportive of the decisions being made or the people making those decisions. So why should my business suffer because of the choices another person is making who is in no way affilated with my business? Just the way I see it.. I'm pretty bothered by the way people have turned against White Nights just because they're located in Russia. It's their home.. That doesn't mean they're not just as upset as other people are with the situation going on. All this coming from me who hasn't even used their paints before 😂 I still would support their business if I was looking to try their paints. I don't associate them with Putin just because they're located in Russia, and I feel others shouldn't either. In fact a lot of Russian businesses are actually firing employees that support Putin. So I think it's important that we, as people not living in Russia, be slow to judge Russian businesses. We don't know what they're going through over there. Imagine the lay offs some companies are facing and families scrambling to make ends meet over the choices their leader is making taking an economical effect on business. I think it's completely unfair for businesses in Russia to suffer consequence from the choices someone else is making that they have no control over 🤷🏻♀️

having this many palettes will actually hinder your ability to learn how to use watercolors since they will all be different and your mixes will be harder to remember from set to set. Just pare down to like 1-2 unless you're some kind of professional that needs multiple ones. I have the same paints in my travel vs desk palette because there's no need for so many different types.
