Piles

I have a major problem- piles, piles, piles everywhere. I have make up on the counter here and hair brushes on the counter there. While I was at Kohl's tonight I saw this cute little basket in hopes that it would help me with my problem. My hope is that insted of putting everything on the counter or table I can just throw it in this little basket and take my things back to their proper home. It's really a magazine basket but I thought it would be a perfect piles basket. :) It was $23 from Kohls and I hope I put it to good use!

Do you guys have this problem, too or am I alone in my piles of junk?
