RustOleum seem to think that magnetic walls are for kids, but imagine how handy they could be for craftsters too. You could fill up entire walls with ideas scribbled on to bits of paper, inspirational images, magazine clippings and even small magnetic tins full of beads and other crafting accessories.

Check out their tutorial for painting a wall with magnetic primer and creating a magnet wall.

Brought My Lunch is another great Flickr photo pool that I have stumbled upon recently. From the creators of 52 Projects, the members are encouraged to post photos of their lunchboxes and the various items they bring to work for lunch.

The 52 Project website also features tips for bring your lunch to work. It's a great source of inspiration if you're feeling a little uninspired about what to make for your lunch the following day.

I hate throwing things away. I keep all kinds of bits and pieces and I'm scared of becoming a hoarder. I have huge collections of light bulbs, bottle caps, corks, the plastic fish that soya sauce comes in, envelopes and magazines. Finally, there's a website to help recycle these hoarded treasures.

How Can I Recycle This? is a website where readers write in to ask for suggestions on recycling and reusing items they have acquired, everything from milk cartons to USB memory sticks, and the members of the site give their ideas, tips and suggestions for repurposing the items.

Definitely worth checking out if you have a cupboard full of knick-knacks. Nothing but good green fun!

I remember seeing a bookcase where the books were arranged by colour a few months ago and wishing that I had enough space for a bookcase, so that I could do the same with my mountains of books. I compensated by colour arranging all my CDs and DVDs in their cabinets and it really does make everything look pretty and like a fairytale. One day, I'll have a huge, colour coordinated library, where it's impossible to find a book unless you know it's colour but everything looks so so pretty.

For now, I'll just oogle over the bookcases of people that have already done so, on Flickr's Rainbow Of Books photo pool.

Everyone from Craft Gossip to Craft Zine seems to be talking about the new craft tool, the Crop-A-Dile from We R Memory Keepers.

I was lucky enough to pick one up while on holiday in Canada and I've been using it for all kinds of projects since. The heavy-duty punch seems to be able to punch through almost anything and the Crop-A-Dile can even install snaps and grommets.

Julia Stanton has written a great review for it on her blog, so check it out and find out if this is the tool for you.

With Halloween just around the corner, have you started thinking about your costume yet? If you're in need of some inspiration there are some great groups on Flickr, where members have posted photos of their Halloween costumes.
