Had the idea to create this nifty magazine holder out of cardboard the other day. I sketched it out while on the bus, drew the template onto a large cardboard sheet (from our new screen door) and cut it out with a box cutter. Works great! Re-using existing resources makes it even more cool.
On the same note, we have created a vegetable garden! In the course of 24 hours we purchased compost and 12 plants, tilled a flower bed (shovel and elbow grease only) and planted tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, and squash. We're looking forward to the results. It seems to us that food will continue to become more expensive as oil/gas prices continue to rise and that being able to grow one's own food is valuable skill. I even pondered the possibility of starting a farm.

One last note - these snack bars are great! Larabars contain only 3-7 ingredients such as dates, almonds, figs, cinnamon, and pecans. They come in 15+ flavors. Minimally processed (they say "unprocessed"), I find them outstanding.
