Organize, Organize, Organize

I have organizing spurts.  They are good.  It means that the house gets in a little better order.  This serves my husband and kids well.  Personally, I also think it helps create a more peaceful atmosphere.  Clutter overwhelms me and makes me feel anxious.

A few months ago, I re-arranged my kitchen.  I was trying to make more space in my cupboards and drawers.  This entailed:

1) Getting rid of stuff (by giving it away or selling it).
2.) Purging my foodstuffs and organizing it (and getting rid of stuff that we would never eat anyway).
3.) Coming up with creative places to put stuff.

Going along with #3, I found a tutorial for a grocery bag holder.  I had been keeping my plastic bags (which we use for our kitchen trash can) in an ENTIRE DRAWER.  With the holder now, I added a drawer for cooking stuff and a little splash of color to my kitchen.  How delightful!
