Welcome to our farewell blog hop.
It's sad to go.. I've probably said it a MILLION times.... but it was SO fun while I was a chocolatier.. Sharing ideas and tutorials.. gathering inspiration from the other DT members and from Chocolate lovers. It was a great experience all and all.
and I'm always open to sharing ideas.. today I've got my favorite organizing tip ever... seriously. and really I have to say I owe it all to my fabulous Hubby!!
First order of business though... this is a HOP.. so if you've come from Corrie's blog you're in the right spot :) but if not.. start over @ Amber's Blog

Second order of business --- My organization tip:
This is what it looks like in my box of shame.. I say box of shame because I HATE keeping everything in a giant cupboard.. but right now it's all I have.. and I get to find great organizing solutions like this!
Pull out the drawer...
And spin it!!
and apparently spice racks are popular in my closet! lol
