Storage Question: Metal Dies

Thank you to the ladies that emailed and commented regarding my selling post the other day. I really appreciate all the great advice that I received.  Once I go through everything and decide what I am selling, I'll figure out which of the options will work out for me. My LSS also just sent out a notice about their tag sale so I could just put everything there too and get store credit for some new stuff - yay!

In my never ending quest for organization, I am putting out a new question~

How do you store your metal dies? 

I left most of mine in their original packaging which is a hassle for my Spellbinders since the most often used dies often fall out since the package doesn't stay shut anymore.  I have dies from My Favorite Things, Papertrey Ink and Taylored Expressions sorted into small drawer organizers...but they are still a mess. Just a big pile of dies.

I'd like to find an easier way to store them - and possibly make it portable for crops. Right now I have a bunch thrown in a ziploc bag for next weekend's crop. Not exactly ideal but when I started packing, it was the first thing I could grab.

Also do you label them somehow?  I like to try and link them up on my blog when they are used but half the time I cannot remember what the name is and I spend more time scrolling through store websites than really needed. 

Any ideas/helpful tips would be great!

Thanks!

P.S. I finished the baby shower thank you cards last night.  I'll have a post up with them in the next few days!
