All right so I haven't decided if it's a curse or a blessing that the majority of the friends I know are extremely organized.
One of my Birthday gifts this year from my 2 dear friends Teri and Jessica was to organize my kitchen........ Now I know what your thinking a little embarrassing that that's a gift your friends feel the need to give you, but as I open the door to humiliation more and show my cabinets, you will probably agree it's a fabulous gift for me. The truth is I have been complaining about how there is no room in my kitchen for anything. Every drawer is too small or not deep enough, every cupboard is oddly shaped or again too small. So I really wanted to go through and get things organized, but when do you find the time to pull everything out and go through it all, then put it all back in a proper fashion. It also doesn't help having a one year old who hardly naps, and gets into everything. Well that's where my friends come into the picture, not only have they bought items for organizing my kitchen, they are also coming over this week to do the organizing..... something believe me they are both VERY good at, and I'm very grateful for.
Anyway I wanted to document my kitchen before and then post the after so I have memory of this occasion, and what great friends I have.
Thanks for the wonderful gift " that keeps on giving"

What a great birthday gift. Just don't come look in my cupboards! We've been battling pantry moths.

wow - that's the before picture? maybe you can come and help me get mine just to look like that, then when they get yours all fixed up we'll all be covered :) that's an awesome birthday present (although I think being surrounded by all these organized people is going to drive me crazy :)0

Happy birthday! I love those bags from the Container Store. I love even more when we get things that don't fit in the bags because then we say to the checkout person "we couldn't contain ourselves" and we laugh as if we are the original persons who made that joke up.

Glad to hear you had a good day.
