I make them into photo/card holders. I get a bit of 18 gauge craft wire twist one end into a big spiral and then jut the tip out. On that tip I place layers of flowers (like the ones in TAC's petal pack set) and when it looks full enough I twist the tip of the wire back towards the flowers to keep them in place. Then I take the opposite end of the wire and glue it into a wooden bead which gets mounted on the wooden block. Tie a bit of decorative ribbon around the base of the stem and you're done! I'll have to try and add one to me gallery to show you- they are really great and I make bigger ones with the bigger blocks and singles with the smaller blocks. I have skads of those blocks!
I've also given them to my rabbit with a bit of peanut butter smeared on them as a chew toy... Probably some of the most expensive treats he gets!

The Photo card holders sound cute, I'll be watching to see your samples.
I do end up giving my clean blocks to my parrots to chew on......they go through wood toys pretty fast!!
If anyone has blocks available, please let me know. I'd gladly take the postage deal. I just don't like double mounting stamps and would prefer them to be on separate blocks.
Your Photo is waiting to be approved...I'll check it out later.
Some other cool idea's to use your wood block for.
I know I saw this is the new SU catalog where someone had painted and then distressed the wood block. Then took a couple of Stamps and stamped the image on the block. It turned out super cute.
I don't mess with the ones that are sticky. I figure those would be hard to sell. I toss those. I've been getting around $20 a box (approx. 60 new blocks in a mixture of sizes). I ship them in the one rate box for $9. It's free money so whatever I can sell them for makes me happy!
