What to do when your house is full of STUFF. Just stuff. Its kind of a waste to throw it out, kind of a hassle to keep it around... I just dropped off my plastic bags AND styrofoam over at the recycling depot! Yep, I wash my takeout containers and foam meat trays and keep them around until I have a nice collection worthy of a trip to the recycling depot.
Next on the list - cork! If you are a drinker of wine, this trivet is awesome idea that's also cost effective! I love the neutral and natural tones it has, very organic and clean looking - you just have to make sure they're all the same height! =)

1. For a medium-sized trivet, collect at least 50 uniformly sized corks.
2. Stand them upright and arrange them into a tight circle.
3. Surround corks with an 8- to 10-inch metal hose clamp (sold in the plumbing section of the hardware store).
4. Tighten the clamp to bind the corks together and then trim the excess clamp with metal clippers. Cost: about $3

Wow, I love that (unfortunately, I don't love wine).
I hear you on the "stuff" issue. I think it's just what happens when you have a creative mind (or at least that's what I tell myself). :)
