probably late

Normally, I'm the last to know so you can go ahead and stop reading this if you've known about this for years and I am so out of the loop.

But have you visited Instructables.com before? 

It's a website where people can share things they make, show others how to make it, and help people be creative.

Oh, the possibilities!  And by "possibilities" I mean, the things I can make Chris do.  It's awesome.

Here's some fun stuff I've found:

Wine barrel rain collector

That is a magnificient swing set.  Next summer, my handy husband will be building something like this (but not this beast) in the backyard--we'll need a slide.  And there will be a fort.  For the kids, of course.

I need to buy a sewing machine.  And then I want to make a quilt.

Mini carrot cupcakes with spiced cream cheese frosting?  If I learn how to make these, I won't have to buy a birthday cake for my mother-in-law next year.

And then there's also some really random or funny things:

This man shows you how to make a cardboard tank for your kitty.  The giggling that this project produced...

Need to make a ski ramp off your roof?  Instructables has you covered.

This would have come in very handy when I was younger.  A minnow trap made from a two liter bottle.  I'm sure this would have worked better than the baggie we always used.

There is something for everyone--go check it out!
