The Very, Very Happy Bin!


There once was an empty bin

just sitting their waiting to be used and loved.

When a busy house wife came along with pens, pencils, nic nacs,

and stuff, hurrying and scurrying.

"No time to sort!" she said, "I have to go.

Where can I put all this stuff that's out of place?"

And that's when she saw it, that empty bin -

"Oh, a perfect place to put it - for now - and when I return I'll get to it then!"

This is a very, very happy bin - as it is still sitting filled to the brim.
Do you have bins like these?
Do you have a junk drawer?
Do you sort and not bin?

"Bin" there. Done that. Of course.

ooooh yes.

One junk drawer in the kitchen.

And I usually grab a laundry basket at the end of the day to put miscellany in for the kids to put away.

I would have a junk bin or drawer but my husband forbids it. I stick things in the drawer and cabnets and he keeps cleaning them out. Never complains just has to have all counter tops and drawers clean. I even periodicaly open my tooth brush drawer in the bathroom and to my surprise it's neat as a pin. I'm probrably the only woman with this problem.

I am a fan of the empty bin. My problem is stashing miscellany in one, and then never clean it out. So therefore I have very few empty bins.

I've never met Mikki, but we must have been seperated at birth. Each one of her messy spots matches each one of mine. I may just have to go say hello.

I think I have too many of those bins. I need to go through mine and reorganize them. I love bins and help with the organization.
