Organization. . .Crafty Style

We all have those space, right? Those spaces where no matter how hard you try to keep them nice and clean, they wind up looking like a tornado went blowing through your house. While I have more than one of these spaces, I decided I HAD to tackle this part of my kitchen counter. This is where all the mail gets dropped, notes from school get put, miscellaneous phone numbers we have written on scrap pieces of paper. . .you get the idea.

I saw THIS idea awhile back and decided to try it out in the form of a mail sorter. I covered paint cans and lids with scrapbook paper, and after going to all that work, I decided if I layed them on their sides like in the example, you would hardly be able to see the pretty paper. That and I didn't want it to stick out from the wall that much. So I got an old shelf we had lying around the garage and used Locktite (my new favorite adhesive) to adhere the cans and lids. Then my hubby hung it for me. Isn't being organized wonderful??
