I really like the idea of placing everything on a tray. That way I could tell myself, Jeri, put the mixing spoon or the knife on the tray and not in some crazy place onn the counter where you know you will toss the hand towl or pan of cookies on top of it. I'm going to start using a tray. Thanks for the idea's.
