Response 12: Cat toy
I felt bad for leaving meezer alone all the time, while I was working, so I made him this toy by putting catnip in an old cleaning rag (since I wouldn't be cleaning any time soon, anyway). When I got home at 4:30 in the morning, he was passed out on the couch and he had chewed a hole thru the rag. Oh, meez!

Response 04: Poler ode
I'm a huge fan of taking Polaroid pictures, each one which I keep likea precious piece of instant art. But it annoys me that every time I'm done with a pack of 10 that there's this huge honking piece of plastic and metal housing that I have to throw away. So instead, I put one of my freshly photographed works in the container (perfectly-sized!) and use it as an instant frame.
Response 03: Fancy Shmancy
I used to love getting those cheap plastic rings out of gumball
machines, but now they're just taking up space on my tchotchke shelf. So now I use them for dinner parties, where my student-budget can't afford much more than the free napkins from the cafeteria. It gives the meal a little bit of class and color.
