Your idea is a pretty good one. I like to put my flour in a big bin, instead of scooping it out of the bag with a measuring utensil. I usually prefer a bin that's twice the size of the amount of flour. I do the same with sugar. Also, if I know I'll be scooping a lot of things that are powdery, I put a cookie sheet underneath the bowl. Some people have used newspaper. When they are done with the baking, they roll it upreally tight and curl up the ends, , not crumple it. It is highly recommended to keep your cooking area contained to one place. Hope that helps!
