    alot of neat ideas, I got some corks from a recent visit to San Francisco, I then turned them into Christmas ornaments for my family. Here is a link, if I am aloud to post it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38758754@N04/11414884425/ Thanks for giving me more ideas for what to do with the rest of the corks that I have.
