I recently read, Learn Every Day About Our Green Earth 100 Best Ideas from Teachers to get some ideas for my son. Firstly, there are no pictures of the actual projects, which I find annoying. That being said, there are some good ideas for younger kids, ages 3 and up.
The benefit of the book... Comment - Like

Postcards is probably my favorite idea. Check with your post office to make sure but I believe the minimum size is 3 1/2" x 5" and the max is 4 1/4" by 6".
You can also cut out squares or flowers or whatever from the cards and make them into gift tags.
Or make small gift boxes, perfect for e... Comment - Like

I'm reading Deepak Chopra's "The Path to Love" because I've been trying to work out things from my past in hopes of healing. I know that self love is important, if not the most important thing, but I think I lost it somewhere along the lines.
In this book, Deepak talks about psychological healing ve... Comment - Like

I've been looking for things to do with some silverware that my dad gave me before he passed. It isn't dishwasher safe so I don't use it, but I don't want to not use it either. So, I'm looking for ways to have it around in some unconventional ways.

I've been watching Hoarders lately. No, I don't have this particular issue, but I know it's supposed to branch from OCD. Recently, there was an episode with a psychologist/hoarder. I know this may seem odd to people to have someone with a disorder when she should know how to deal with such things. I... Comment - Like

So, I've been looking for things to do with old Calendars because I have a Dexter Calendar that I love and don't want to throw out even though it's old. Now I could save it and re-use it years from now. Find out more on that at Wise Bread. He tells you which old calendars can be used this year, etc.... Comment - Like

Intimate Weddings shows candies wrapped in old comics but really anything can be wrapped in these. I like that they jazzed them up with buttons and bows.

Have a Garden lover on your list, these painted terra cotta pot bells could be just the thing.
This isn't a great picture of these Recycled Aluminum Garden Flowers, but you get the idea.
Along those same lines, here's a bird feeder made from old light parts from Recycled Crafts. Comment - Like

I'll say it, I don't like A Christmas Story. I think I have a specific sense of humor and this is the opposite of anything I think is funny. I don't know if it's because I'm female or what, I just don't get why everyone loves this movie so much.

I love these shadow box ornaments made from old ornament boxes via Recycled crafts. It makes me think I could do this with old X-mas cards.

I've been pretty desperate lately to find a good book. I've been in the mood for something different than what I usually read. So, I combed the library's aisles and came across Madman: A Novel by Tracy Groot. The description read:

I remember sitting at the edge of a fountain once, when I was a kid. I dipped my feet in and swirled them in circles, creating waves. As I watched, I felt like I was floating away. I liked that feeling very much.

Obviously, everyone can't make these, unless you have a kiln that is. However, maybe you know someone who does or can be inspired by this wine bottle cheese tray that I found on Craftster.
If you're lucky enough to have someone who's good with tools, this side table revamp may be a possibility. I th... Comment - Like

While some of their products are packaged in cardboard, not all are and I don't understand why. Most curbside recycling programs do not include #3 plastics. If we're honest, most don't searc...

Yes, me and my 32 year old self went and stood in line to watch New Moon with a bunch of teen girls. Surprisingly though, there was quite the mix of older people, many of which were in their 40's and 50's, men included.
As far as my review, I thought it followed pretty closely to the book. The chang... Comment - Like

I had watched some newscast about abandoned boats "littering" the seas and our coastlines awhile back and thought I should share the gist of the story.

In theory, it's great to say "When you're knocked you off the horse, you gotta get right back up". In reality, sometimes it's not that easy. Sometimes, we have the will and the desire to get back up; but as soon as we stand, we're dealt another blow. Blow upon blow, and you start spending more time ... Comment - Like

I've had several people come to me lately with questions about God. The doubt that seems to be plaguing people during these hard times is causing a lot of grief. People often feel bad for questioning the existence of God. I think this is unnecessary.
