I have a "junk drawer" in my kitchen. It is the drawer that holds coupons, birthday candles, extra twisty ties and a host of ketchup, honey, soy/duck sauce and salt packs. I go through this drawer often to clear it of "junk", but the junk just multiplies. I ask my self every time, "Why do we keep this stuff?" but then when the kids ask me what to do with said junk, I without thought tell them to "put it in the junk drawer." Why? My goal for the end of this year is to re-purpose the junk drawer. I will no longer keep packs of ketchup, mustard and duck sauce (that by the way, no one ever uses). I will keep coupons with the grocery list and will put just enough twisty ties in a zip lock bag and get rid of the rest.
So, tell me about your "junk drawer".

Which one? :-)
Mine looks about like yours. Only I have no ambitious plans to clean it out until stuff starts to leave on its own.
You don't seriously want to know what's in my junk drawer, do you? I figure when I'm dead and buried my kids can clean it out. They can ask each other why I kept a broken Christmas ornament for 20 years or why didn't I find a better place for the view finder that has a picture of our family at Sea World in 1998. It'll give my kids something do while they are morning. See, even in death I will be useful to my kids :)
Be blessed.

I do not have a junk drawer, but I have a countertop that just never seems to stay cleaned off! Ahhh! My goal is that everything have a place and be in that place!! LOL
