The adventures in organization continue! I threw a bunch of cake decorating tips into the dishwasher yesterday. Anna was really into cake decorating for a while. I was thinking that I might just take the tips to her in Virginia because I was never much of a cake decorator. At one point I bought a clever little frosting tip storage box to keep them all organized. I thought it might be in a corner lazy Susan cabinet where we put mixing and baking things. So I started to dig through that and found the hand mixer. It has been missing for years! Unfortunately, I threw out the beaters yesterday when I was clearing out the bottom drawer. Kurt offered to dig through the trash to find them, but is it really worth digging through the trash to find something that hasn't been used in years? I decided that it was not.
So while I was digging around for the cake tip box, I pulled out a little tin thinking that would work for storing the tips. Imagine how surprised I was to find it full of Christmas cookies. It wouldn't be quite as surprising if we had baked any cookies this year. Those were the cookies we baked last year. Kurt said they tasted fine and offered to take care of them for me.
Happy Thursday. It has been a long week, but next week will be a short one, so it all works out in the end.

Adventures in decluttering, never a dull moment!
Isn't it fun to find things you haven't seen for a spell? LOL on the Christmas cookies. It must be a really good tin to keep them nice all this time. I'd keep that tin!
That is too funny about eating the year old Xmas cookies!
That's so funny that you found the Christmas cookies! I just threw away a 49 year old hand mixer that was a wedding present, and finally bit the dust. Fortunately, they still sell hand mixers so I bought a new one!
Thanks for making me laugh out loud. First at finding the hand mixer after just throwing out the beaters and second for Kurt knoshing on the year old cookies and declaring them fine.

It's scary what we find in the depths of cabinets when we empty them. LOL Bet if feels so good to clear out things like this. Good job!!
Haha, one surprise after another!
