Wine Racks...not just for wine!

I've been using a wine rack to carry more than just wine for awhile now...ever since I saw it in a magazine (I'm pretty sure it was Real Simple). I've seen wine racks used as holders for (the first two are ways I use them):

(1) wine

(2) magazines

(3) towels

even...(4) yarn

 I'm sure there are even more ways to use them around the house. Anyone else use them other ways?

Fall Mix

A few weeks ago, I decided to do something nice for my coworkers. I recently had to work away from the office for a few weeks and deal with some issues my mom was having with her health. Everyone at work was very supportive and concerned, constantly sending me emails to check-in on me and my family. And I REALLY appreciated it! So I wanted to do something nice for them, just something little...and I found this idea on another blog (at the moment, it's escaping me where I saw it...but I tweaked the contents a little):

So they are Ball jars filled with

• Cheezits
• Cocoa Puffs cereal
• Cheerios
• Candy corn
• Reeses Pieces
• Pretzels

And everyone loved them! I attached the orange ribbon and wrote a short thank-you note, placing it on everyone's desk as a surprise office snack! I think they were a hit, because a few of them are already empty! :)

I think it's such a cute idea because you could really fill jars with all kinds of things to create a holiday- or color-themed snack (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patty's Day, 4th of July, etc.)...I'm thinking I might make these a staple for little gifts here and there for friends/family!
