Today's post is part of "I-don't-know-why-I-didn't-think-of-this-before" Monday.

I taped a quickly handwritten list of all the spices/condiments I have on the inside of the cupboard door.  No more repeat purchases, no more last minute 'I thought I had that' panics, no more spice avalanches when I'm checking to see if I have something or not.  I'm sure Martha Steward would say I should have made it prettier.

Martha, Shmartha.

What an inspired idea! I recognise only too well the avalanche comment. Why does the spice jar or packet you need always work its way to the very back of the cupboard?
Are you going to emulate Martha still further and store them alphabetically? :)

Someone should call a blog Martha, shmartha.......funny.......

hehe! At least your version of organisation doesn't cost the fortune that Martha's would!

A friend once rearranged my spice jars alphabetically and it was the best 15 min favour she ever did for me! I should pay it forward and do this for someone else! What is the quote about changing the world one step at a time?!

[Gina]
