Remember - in order to create order one must create a mess! :)
Then, one shelf at at a time, I tried to be methodical about how I laid out the shelves.............(as I look at this picture I see the Crisco can I temporarily set on the canned goods shelf until I had a place for it - it's no longer there!)
Yes, I am aware there is a backstock of spaghetti sauce, crackers, cereal, etc. This is what happens when one starts couponing (this is a whole separate post - soon to come)!
Today, since church was canceled because the snow FINALLY decided to show up (and it's melting already!!!!), I am going to tackle the last area that needs a do-over......the closet up in Randy's office that I keep my decorating supplies in (candles, glass pieces, candlesticks, silk plants, grasses, rocks, sand, etc). Pictures of progress to follow!
P.S. I got a NEW CAMERA!!! Finally! I've wanted a new camera for a LONG time now and have been disappointed over and over again with blurry pictures! I picked up a Canon Powershot SX130 IS, 12x optical zoom, 12.1 megapixels. (I would've loved a Canon Rebel, I was just a few hundred short!!) The beauty of this purchase is, that I can use this camera for 14 days and if I'm not happy I can return it, no questions asked and no restocking fee. So, we'll be taking it to the state tournament to get some great shots of Em cheering! I can't wait to test it out!

I knew just by looking at your pictures that you've been couponing Janice! Way to work on your stockpile. :-)
I SOOOOOOOOO need to do this to my pantry!! Wanna help me? ;D
You are talking my language now, lady! Organizing a closet? Stockpiling? Organizing your stockpile? LOVE IT! Isn't that the best feeling when everything is in it's place and you know everything you have? Wish I could have been there. :)
Your pantry looks great Jan! Cleaning and restoring order to a pantry is a project I love to put off for a very long time. Here's a couple of things that motivate me to tackle this project at least once a decade;
* have a jar of honey/karo syrup dribble down all the shelves below (true, this doesn't mean you have to clean the entire pantry, but it is good motivator for a couple of shelves)
*being unable to locate that piece of chocolate you hid somewhere in the pantry.
* have some large glass object (say a pitcher) fall from the top shelf and have glass shards throughout the pantry. This method is my most effective motivator and I am pretty sure it works for other places in the house:)
I just got a Canon Rebel. I love it! It was my dream camera for a long long time. The wait is so worth it! Where did you get those baskets you use in the pantry?
