I am so  excited!  My birthday present finally arrived.  My husband  ordered
it about a month before my birthday, but, the fellow he ordered it  from
never made it.  Then about a month ago he asked another fellow to  make it.
What is it?

It is a custom spice rack for my  kitchen.

I buy my spices in bulk packages.  Then I put them in  these stainless
canisters.  I have all the canisters brailled and as  well as print labeled.
I have over 60 canisters.  Anyway, I have  wanted a rack to hang on the wall
so I could organize my spices  alphabetically so I don't have to spend so
much time rifling through to  find what I am looking for.  Last October we
asked a friend who is a  contractor to make it and he said he would.  We 
gave
him three months  and he still hadn't started the project.  So, we finally
got up the  nerve to tell him we were going to have someone else do the job.
That of  course didn't go over well, but, he wasn't doing the job he had 
said
he  would finish in November.

Fast forward to January .  My husband  asked a fellow he works with if he
would be interested in the job and the  guy said sure. Today the spice rack
arrived!   I have the most  beautiful spice rack!  And you know what he did?
This guy likes to do  in-laid work in his woodworking.  Well for me he
surprised us and  in-laid little wood pegs to make the braille word spices 
on
the top of the  rack.  Very cool!
