Default Tea chest turned die storage

My mother-in-law once gave me a pretty little wooden tea chest with a sampler of yummy teas. They're gone now, and I was trying to figure out a good use for the chest. It occurred to me to wonder if my small Sizzix and Cuttlebug dies and embossing folders would fit in it, and guess what? They do! I cut some cardstock dividers and hand-wrote the categories on them. I've attached a couple of pics...

I love it! It's such a great idea to use what you have and I too, like to keep my embossing folders and dies all in one place!
