The Kitchen Junk Drawer and What To Do About It

Every kitchen has one.  The drawer where all kinds of essentials and

non essentials hang out ~ the kitchen junk drawer.  If you have a faint

heart, please don't look because what is inside is not pretty.

When I moved into this house last August I made a vow to myself that I would 

keep all the drawers in this house neat and tidy.  I have kept that vow with one

exception ~ this kitchen junk drawer.  Actually there are two of them side by

side, but I only have the nerve to show you one.  I need some inspiration to 

make this drawer work for our household because I am tired of rummaging

through a lot of stuff trying to find stamps, scissors, and whatever else I need.

Sadly, I did not inherit the master organizational skills of my Mom so I have

to resort to inspirational pictures to motivate me to get the job done.

This well organized drawer puts me in a zen space.  Neat, tidy, everything

mine is not.

Here's an idea ~ labels so no one has to ask "where does this go?"

This is a fun idea.  This person took cereal boxes, cut them to the desired height

and covered them with pretty paper.  Cute!

Well whatever organizing system I decide to use, anything will be better than

this mess!

PS:  Why is there a glow stick in this drawer?  Because we always have one.

Never know when we might need one!
