Such a Simple Thing Hit Me!

Where did I put that pencil sharpener? Has that ever happened to you? You have several pencil sharpeners. Yet, you cannot for the life of you find even ONE.

This household can never seem to find a pencil sharpener. To try to reduce the mad dash to locate one, I placed a couple of pencil sharpeners in a small dish out on the desk to keep an eye on them, fearful that they would join the many missing in action. Then a simple idea came to me like a bolt from the blue. I keep my pencils, paint brushes, tools, and scissors in a jar and, a pretty little glass. Why not put my sharpeners with them. So, I placed a chopstick and a skewer into the glass and placed the pencil sharpeners onto them, in the same position as if I were sharpening a pencil. Works perfectly!
