All About Corks

I love corks so much. Whenever I pop open a bottle of wine, I write on the cork the date that I drank it and why.

To me, corks are fun and they tell a story. They hold a special memory. They were part of an experience that meant something to you. They stand for something.

As you hold a cork in your hand and look at it, the memories just come flooding back, a smile comes to your face, and you just cant throw it away. The fabulous wine or champagne that was sealed by this cork now tells a story: your first date; that really special restaurant; your wedding day; that summer when you went to Italy or France.

So what are you doing with all those corks? Dont throw them out! Start collecting them! And open that drawer full of corks youve stashed away and finally do something with them. We save these corks like pictures, so isnt it time we start making a photo album of memories with them?

Here within these pages you will find a fun How-To guide on making ornaments and crafts with corks. So get a glue gun, an x-acto knife and open a bottle of wine! And of course, dont throw that cork away!
