Mission Organization, 52 Weeks of Decluttering WEEK 4 - The Spice Drawer

Welcome to another week in Mission Organization - My 52 Week Decluttering & Organizational Challenge!
Starting off, I am tackling the very messiest areas in my house - and this week is no different.  My spice drawer is SO bad.  I have a spice rack on top of my convection oven for my frequently used spices, but have a drawer of spices that don't go in that spice rack..and it was about to explode.  
Horrible, right??

I ended up throwing away some spices..ones that I knew were long past their life.   I also ended up getting a box together of Tupperware spice containers & empty salt/pepper shakers to get rid of since they haven't been used in practically forever - and are serving no other purpose other than cluttering up my spice drawer.

I used a black Sharpie marker to write the spice names on the container tops so I could easily view them, and layed the larger jars down with the labels facing up.

After everything was said and done, I fared pretty well on this.  It looks tons better.
