Back at Christmas, my father gave me and my siblings beautiful hand-made CD/DVD cases. I had been trying ever since to figure out the best use for mine — music CDs? Software CDs? DVDs?

I finally figured out the answer. I’ve put all of my photo and video CDs into the cabinet, organized by date. By putting the disks in paper sleeves, I can get five of them into each slot in the case. They’re now within easy reach, right next to my computer desk.
