It truly can be a lifesaver. Nothing can be as important as knowing first aid in a time of need. It truly can be a lifesaver.

I love the way you have thought through various uses for a simple tool. I have one thought to add for your readers: As you go through your home to group like things together, make sure that you are defining "like things" in a way that is going to be effective for you. The examples you give are fantastic. You are grouping things by how you use them. Many of my clients group like items, but they are grouping them by what they are not how they use them. For example, all scissors in the house are in one spot. This does not work really well because you might be on the second floor wrapping a present and need to go to the first floor to get scissors and then back to put them away. A better solution would be to make sure one of the pairs of scissors is with the wrapping items. Thanks for sharing the great ideas and examples. To your success, Stephanie Great ideas on dishpans!

I would have never thought about planting in dishpans, but really it makes great sense! I mean, the dishpans would have to be food-grade plastic. I was planning on asking my husband for a basket for our anniversery. I wanted one to tote my current craft project around the house ( I have a one project at a time rule). I may get a dollar store dish pan instead- it will even slide right under the skirt of our living room chair! Now, that is so clever!

It is a great way to organize things & you can get them at the dollar store. I have been wanting to pick one up for school supplies :) <em>Ginny's last blog post..<a href='http://scrappyd.blogspot.com/2008/02/sunday-salon_10.html' rel="nofollow">Sunday Salon</a></em> Right now I am only using one dish pan & I use it for my girls kitchen toys.

I use lots of dishpans and baskets to organize. I haven't used them for gardening yet. I have a small house with very little storage space. I use many large Rubbermaid type bins for storing photos, fabric, yarn, crafts, seasonal clothes, and girls' toys in the garage. Yes, I rotate the girls' toys out. I get rid of toys all the time. I keep them organized in separate bins as such: dolls, doll accessories, doll house furniture, Little People, dishes, dress-up, and stuffed animals (there are 2 of these - ugh - but, they LOVE to play with them and they do so very creatively, so I have kept them so far.) There is no room in their room for all these toys. You covered a lot of ground. I use lots of dishpans and baskets to organize. I haven’t used them for gardening yet.
