We Repurpose Wednesday: Water Bottles

This actually goes hand in hand with an e-mail a reader asked me yesterday if I had any ideas for reusing old water bottles as she has a ton (her drinking water at her house isn't good) or plastic bottles period.  So, I went looking online and WOW are there a lot of cool projects you can do that you would NEVER figure were made out of water bottles.  To save time (and possible future heartburn over someone taking exception to me linking to their image) I'm just going to link to the sites where the projects can be found and you all can go and look them up.  Trust me, the ones I list here are DEFINITELY worth checking out and if you have the time Google "ways to reuse water bottles" sometime and crawl through Google for a bit.  It's AMAZING what you'll find people have done with them (and a lot of them are just breathtakingly pretty :).
