DIY Toilet Paper Holder
Toilet paper in plastic is ugly, right? I think we can all agree on that. We can’t make the TP look better so my plan is to make the presentation look better. For this DIY project I made a TP holder for the bathroom. Since my bathroom is mostly green and blue I chose a striped green and blue scrapbook paper. You can use whatever you would like, but make sure the paper is thin. No card stock for this one. Read the whole post

Recycled Keyboard Horse Sculpture
I found a picture of this horse on Pinterest. Believe it or not, Pinterest actually has some good articles in the art section; you just have to look for them. Well, the Pinterest pin lead me to a dead en so I did my own research and it led me to c|net, where I found this article. 🙂
This Trojan Horse was inspired by Greek mythology. It was created with thousands of old computer keyboard keys by German artist, Babis Pangiotidis. Read the whole post

Grunge Effect
I <3 Photoshop. Seriously, it is a problem. So, when I found all of these grunge tutorials on the Template Monster Blog I was pretty excited. I probably won’t ever use them, but you never know. You can learn a lot from tutorials. Oh, there are 44 tutorials for grunge effects on this page… just to give you a bit more motivation.
Even if you aren’t a Photoshop fanatic, you can still look at the digital art created here.

Things You Will Need:
Scissors
4-6 Yards of fabric (total)

196 Days, 196 Countries Continued…
You guys remember Javier? He started a journey across the US (from Virginia Beach to California) to promote love, tolerance, and awareness of his fellow men and women. In order to show this, he is going to take 196 days to walk across America. Why 196 days? Because there are 196 countries in the world and he is going to wear a shirt displaying a flag from one of those countries each day.
He is doing very well. Read the whole post
