product love: the original dish drying mat

Any new Momma's know this problem- precious counter space filled with drying racks and dish towels of bottles, pump parts, pacifiers, baby bowls and spoons.  It is enough to drive you crazy.  I think the first several months of Elly's life I went through a ton of paper towels setting things out to dry.  I saw this mat at Bed, Bath & Beyond a few times and thought it was a great idea.  A fluffy absorbant mat that can be thrown in the washer/dryer repeatedly,  I'm sold!  It has provided an easy place to rest bottles and baby things to be dried.  I also just recently read a review where it was used to dry make-up brushes that had been recently cleaned. Bonus! The "Original" dish drying mat can be found at BB&B for only 4.99.  Have you used this mat?  Trust me- it's better than a dish towel!
