Beautiful packaging for Apple’s new Magic Mouse is shown over on the Dieline packagine site.  I love looking at all the novel and clever packaging designs they showcase.  

I think I’d reuse the Mighty Mouse packaging as a little storage containers for nails or thumb tacks.

This penholder by Nevin is a fun way to recycle a metal food can into someting useful!  Lots of possibilities with printouts of your favourite screenshot.

Made me smile. One thing is certain though - it has to be the only car of its, er, type.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and all the very best for the New Year.

Thank you for your kind support during 2007.

I was at the local IKEA on Friday, and saw lots of people freaking out at IKEA’s new policy of charging for plastic bags.

“What do you mean, 5c for a plastic bag?”
“That bag isn’t worth 5c!”
“That’s outrageous!”
“At that price I don’t need a bag!”(erm hello, that’s the point lady!)

I told the clerk I thought it was an excellent idea, however, she told me people had been stealing the bags and complaining and giving her a hard time.

So come on Edmonton! Bring your own bags to IKEA and quit complaining to the check-out staff!! It’s not about IKEA cheaping out and charging for the bags, it’s about waste reduction.

Thank you IKEA, I think your new bag policy rocks.
