Lightbulbs everywhere!

First, I'm really excited because I just noticed that my letter to the editor was published today :) Regular readers may know that I have some ultra-conservative family members...I'm waiting to see if they read it. I may have an interesting weekend ahead :) Oh well...discussion is good as long as they can stay civil about it.

Many people know about the Live Earth concert on 7/7/7. I watched and enjoyed it as many people did and was motivated to do something I had been meaning to do. Change lightbulbs! I had already accomplished this in our old house, but I hadn't done it yet in the new house. We had bought an energy efficient refrigerator for the new house...it was time to change the lightbulbs!

By the time I finished, I had a kitchen sink full of old lightbulbs. What was I going to do with all of them? I didn't want to just throw them all away. So, I started searching for crafts and recycling ideas for lightbulbs and found a snowman, a penguin, and a pumpkin. I love these ideas and am looking forward to making them as the holidays get nearer. I'm also thinking of trying to make some sun bulbs for our winter solstice celebration....we'll see :)
