spices before and after

Well, this is before I started. You can see it will take some searching to find the bottle you want.

There is as lazy susan that helps a bit, but I will add to it also.





This picture shows the construction of the shelf. It is 2 inches deep and
about 16 inches long on one leg. 9 inches on the other.




I just used a few
short screws to install the shelf. Make sure it isn't too high for the bottles. One problem, the bottles are close together so you have to get a finger on top of them to get them out. I didn't leave quite enough room. Will have to move it down.



I made a little spool to put the very short bottles on. Can you see it in the middle of the lazy susan?
There are actually more bottles in the after picture than the before picture.
I plan on putting a shelf on the door. It will have something in the front to keep the bottles from falling off while swinging the door open or closed. The door shelf will be as high the the other shelf so it will be above the lazy susan.

January slipped past me....

My goal was to post at least once a month and I missed January! Oh well, try again. Today was really fun since I got to help with the zone conference for the missionaries. Our ward did teriyaki chicken and rice and also had lots of good salad and dessert to serve the missionaries. They are so cute and appreciative and it really warms my heart to be with them and feel of the great spirit that they carry as full time messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Later the zone leaders who are in our ward came for dinner, so this has been a special day.
I love knowing that we as members can also be full time missionaries and bring to others the blessings we enjoy. Surely we can do more! Have you shared the gospel today??? Please comment if you've had any missionary experiences in January. I made some phone calls and invited some less actives to our "girls night out." They didn't come, but that's OK, it still counts as missionary work and it made me happy to reach out to someone with an invitation.
