Remember when I had this great secret for storing spices with you last week, but then I needed to take a break to put my head in a vice? Well, it’s your LUCKY day, because I’m going to share that secret with you now that my head is no longer going to explode!

So I had a problem…in the spice cabinet next to the stove, I keep a lot of our sauces: Soy Sauce, Pam, Olive Oil, etc. The problem was that these sauces and spices only fit on the highest shelf, and I had to take some of them out in order to get to the sauces in the rear. I needed a lazy susan, but all the ones I found were $15.00 and up! Yikes! Sooooo I raided my kitchen cabinets and found the bottom of a springform pan. And….TA DA:

It has been great! It works just like the lazy susan would and it was F-R-E-E! Yippee!

Do you have any organization or decoration tips? I’d love to feature them! Send me your tip and if possible at picture at ThisAmericanWife {at} Yahoo {Dot} Com!

All you ladies out there…how do you store your jewelry? I have tried a number of ways and have ultimately settled on a few organization tubs in my top dresser drawer.  But I’ve tried a number of methods, and the one thing I’ve stuck with through all the various methods is the everyday jewelry dish. Let’s face it, about 1/4 of the time I wear the same jewelry: pearl earrings, the watch my hubby gave me a few years ago, and a silver and pearl bracelet. Because I wear these items so frequently, I set a dish on top of my dresser and store these pieces.  That way, they don’t end up just sitting out! Do you have any fun ways to organize YOUR jewelry?
