Thats better...well almost.  As you can see I was 1 H short.  Oops :)

I get so frusterated by "clutter" on my kitchen counters but I'm an "outta sight, outta mind" kind of girl.  So for a while I just dealt with the unsightly vitamin/medicine containers by the sink.  Then I came across this spice rack in my junk stash.  I originally bought it to store little craft do-dad's (beads, buttons etc.) but found out it works great for meds too.  I just painted in the same color as my cupboards and filled the cute little bottles with an assortment of vitamins and painrelievers.  I used small round office stickers to label them on top out of sight.  Now I'm happy and my family is healthy :)

I know what you mean about out of site & out of mind. Same way here! That is such a great idea. Thanks so much for the inspiring idea.
