Keeping Paint

So, I just wanted to show off the palette/paint keeper I've been using - "Master's Touch 45 well sealable palette with lid" - it's like Tupperware for paints. I have my most common colors in it and when I'm done I put it in the freezer. Some of the colors (not all, of course) are still fresh maybe 8 months later. Other colors I have to refresh more frequently, but it's nice having all available colors visible.
