Holder for Charging Cell Phone (made from lotion bottle) My husband and I both have cell phones. And both of us have phone chargers. And that means lots of obnoxious cords.
You never know when one of us may be moving phone cords around, to give our phones an extra charge while we’re chatting away……… or trying to charge our phones up before running errands or something. Needless to say, those phone cords seem to be everywhere…..and are generally in the way and hanging all over the floor. (Okay, and how about when you’re in a hotel or visiting family/friends. There’s never a perfect place to rest your phone while it’s charging.) I was looking around on the internet for a solution and found this. It made the perfect little holder for my cell phone while it’s being charged. Holder for Charging Cell Phone And no more phone hanging down from the outlet while in this room or that room……..the cord and phone are now up off the ground, and tucked away into the little holder, while the phone drinks up a full charge.

Gift Ideas for Poor Creative Souls (8) Posted by: Cathy on Aug 03, 2011 Tagged in: Untagged This one is truly a great idea. I defy anyone not to be able to make these. It requires virtually no skills, you can find the stones on your next walk or in the garden and it will cost you virtually nothing. Now is the time to make these as it would be a great for the kids to be involved in collecting and painting the stones but they could also play with these outside during the summer months. If you're giving these as a gift, you could put them in a simple organza bag or run up a little bag made of burlap which would compliment the stones beautifully. Materials needed: - 28 flat stones - black and white acrylic paint - varnish - paintbrush The pieces that make up the domino set you can find here . Paint your stones with the black paint so that they are well covered.
Now just have fun! You can find the domino rules here . Images courtesy of Craftberry Bush For tutorials on how to market yourself online, go here. Portable utensils - style ideas & tips - donna hay.
