I was making spaghetti for dinner last night when this crazy "re-purpose it" idea dawned on me!  There must be something better to do with those small empty cans that my mushrooms came in - something besides throwing them in the trash.  And then the above idea was born - how about a holder for all those pesky paperclips that seems to be all over my desk.  This can is perfectly sized to hold both the jumbo and small paperclips, and makes a wonderful gift for the person in your life who has everything or who maybe needs to clean the clutter!  Many of the great items found on my paperclip holder are from the sale-a-bration catalog, which means you can earn 1 free item from this catalog for every $50 you spend.  But hurry!  This offer only runs through March 22nd.
