However, I have been trying to pin your stuff to my pinterest boards and for some reason, when I push your "pin it" button, it doesn't attach your stuff to my boards. After I push the "pin it" button, a pop up window appears that asks me to describe the pin, which I do, and then I push pin it again - but nothing attaches to my board. I'm wonderin if I'm the only one having this problem? For me, this problem only occurs with your blog. The "pin it" button works fine on the other blogs I've visited. Anyway - thanks so much for the fabulous ideas... you are brilliant and appreciated!!Nancy Willie Welperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761045878638097291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-1528500007020828312012-09-19T14:49:50.850-05:002012-09-19T14:49:50.850-05:00You do have to factor in a small buffer for the ca...You do have to factor in a small buffer for the cans, but it is pretty minimal.

After excitedly bringing it to my husband's attention, he brought up a somewhat valid question: After using this for the last year-ish, have you found that the spices move around or is the magnetic hold strong enough that they stay firm in place? I'm anxious to hear back... and hoping for the latter, because I want to do this project so badly! :) Thanks for all the tips on here!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793010342879688526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-39440971068201682662011-07-27T22:17:32.633-05:002011-07-27T22:17:32.633-05:00I recently found your blog through pinterest.

I am having trouble with my spice cupboard. It's only 6 inches wide and each shelf is maybe 12 inches deep. I am not sure what to do b/c I have the same problem as you had...all my spices in front of each other. However, it's such a skinny cupboard.
