Moonwork, one time, several booms back one of the f8s in my care completely disappeared. And my system is much like yours. One at a time, don't let them play together, etc but that f8, difergies I believe, never did show back up. I still wonder about that! Best laid plans and all that.

I actually do have a method. I have gallon baggies that I put each f8 into. I take out only one f8 and read any special requests that were sent with it....(sorry but if a request was posted but not included in the f8 I can't keep track of those requests and they could be overlooked). I go through my stash and find colors that will work with the f8 regardless of what I want to make... I put all of them into the gallon baggie.
Once I start working on the f8, I finish it completely. I take a photo of it and keep track of them in a "boom" folder in my computer listed by each Boom and who it is for.
Then I start all over again.
My biggest fear is mis placing a f8 from someone so I am OCD about who sent what. Solidarity confinement for them.
