I think paint chips are the unofficial upcycle medium for 2010. I wonder if the folks at Home Depot (or Sherwin-Williams, or Dunn Edwards, or Lowes, etc) are on to it? I mean, where else does the general populace get paint chips from? So if you're doing a paint chip project, do you just casually saunter over to the paint section every time you happen to be there? Inquiring minds want to know! ;)
I won't be jumping on this bandwagon (just as I avoided desecrating any books last year*), but there are some pretty creative ideas out there!

So no, I will not be joining the ranks of the paint chip banditos... but I've already started wrapping Christmas gifts (!). According to The Mister, that's a crime in itself! (don't worry, I'll lose steam and will be running around like a crazy person on Christmas Eve).
