Looking for something different to do with multiple picture picture frames? Try Word Photography.

There's a lot of words that can be created just by taking pictures of objects that look like letters.

Word Photography makes a thoughtful and inexpensive gift and is a fun, creative exercise for both young and old.

If you have an abundance of corks, recycle them into home-made cork boards.

You can make large and medium-sized cork boards for your office, kitchen, or kid's room. Or you can make small ones and use them as hot plates or decorative table settings.

This project can easily be finished over a weekend, but as a whole, making a home-made cork board takes time. You'll need to be proactive about keeping your corks.

If you're not much of a wine drinker, you can still do this project. (This is also a helpful tip for people who like wine but want to speed up the cork collecting process without suffering all the headaches and purple-stained teeth.) Simply stop by restaurants in your area and ask if they have any corks to spare. A lot of restaurants keep a "cork bucket" behind the bar, and they don't mind getting rid of them if you don't mind their "why do you want corks" stares. Some restaurants will even collect them for you, if they know you'll pick them up (and you tip well).

However you choose to collect the corks, remember you'll be using a miter saw, so please attempt this project sober.
