I love the tromp l’oeil affect on this chalkboard cabinet. It’s a much better application than just chalking on a grocery list.

Did you know you can make ice cream out of snow? Wait til a fresh snow fall (which should be any minute if this winter continues as it has) and whip this up with your kiddies.

Visit this cute blog, Meet the Dubiens, for the recipe!

Is it a necessary item? No, would it improve hole punching on a regular basis? I think yes. A love-filled Valentine gift for your work wife. (C’mon, you know you have one!)

It would make me very happy to live with this on one wall of my home…it’s like a party all year round. Crafted by Creative Jewish Mom.

When I saw this photo of Shanghai built from cheap plastic containers (made by artist Bang-Yao Liu), it got me thinking about the plethora of ways to craft with ho-hum plastic containers and everyday items. (Found via Design Boom.)

Honestly, these are two of the cutest executions of plastic flowers I have ever seen. Yes, those tulips are made from plastic spoons! And the others from plates and cups! Brilliant. (I wish I could give credit where credit is due, but I found this image via Google Images and when I clicked on it, it took me to a site with no sign of this image. Hmmm.)

I seriously thought I’d seen it all in the way of trash crafting, but this is amazing! I would so live with this on my wall. Found via Snike Larten.
