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 can't 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? Don't throw them out! Start collecting them! And open that drawer full of corks you've stashed away and finally do something with them. We save these corks like pictures, so isn't 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, don't throw that cork away!
