Why the name?

Why "On My Kitchen Counter"?  Well, I've noticed that MOST of the pictures I've taken lately of the fun things I've been making (soap, candles, jams) also feature My Kitchen Counter.

Now there's a little story behind this counter.  About 7 years ago, when we were remodeling our kitchen, my husband & I went to the local home improvement store to picked out the color & texture that we would be planning to live with for several years.  We even took the door off of one of our cabinets so that we could try match as well as possible since we were only doing the counters & not the cabinets.  After what seemed like HOURS, we finally agreed on a tan colored Corian counter with a slightly darker seamless sink.  We ordered the counters and scheduled for someone to come out & take the measurements.

  About a week later, the scheduled crew came out to measure the kitchen.  Of course, they came as my husband was having his breakfast & getting ready to leave for work. I was just getting out of the shower when he knocked & the door and asked if i thought we should go with a lighter color. WHAT???  So, out I came in bathrobe & hair in a towel, NO contacts & I don't even think I wore my glasses, to start doing color comparisons AGAIN!  In my haste, I allowed myself to get talked into the lighter color counter AND sink, which is a real pain to clean!  (I do take secret JOY in my husband's grumbling when the slightest little thing smudges it!)  But it takes nice pictures!  LOL 

So join me to see what's been sitting on My Kitchen Counter.  Hopefully there will be more than just clutter!
