:cool1: i just discovered a cool site called craftster (http://http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php) . It's actually more of a message board but rather than me trying to explain it, here's what they say about themselves:

Craftster.org mission

Craftster.org is a repository for hip, crafty, diy (do it yourself) projects.

People who have crafty urges, but who are not excited by cross stitched bunnies and crocheted toilet paper cozies, can show off their current craft projects, ask advice on future projects and get inspiration for new endeavors.

Whenever possible, members are encouraged to post pictures of the steps involved in making a project as well as the final results.

Craftster.org attempts to be carefully organized to allow members to easily find the projects they are looking for.

Special emphasis is placed on projects that involve recycling, reusing and repurposing existing objects. The thinking is that whenever an object can be reused rather than buried in a landfill, it's a worthy venture -- not to mention an interesting challenge!
