Cindy, I'd advise you to keep good notes on what you use (colour combinations, brand of glass) and try to keep it all in the same coe to start with to make your life a little easier!
Here's what I've been doing since I started; I take a photo of the beads that I made in each session and then notes. I do this in Photoshop, but if you don't use that program, you can just take a pic and then make notes in your sketchbook!
