I think we need to make a Jeebus "special mission" like we did with the jacket :)

I wasn't planning on doing today's mission, and then I saw @shannonsfchef's submission and remembered that my dog just happened to be "reading" Time magazine last weekend. I wouldn't recommend a lazy 60 pound paperweight though, they're hard to move :)

Nice! No need to move my paper weight either, she sleeps ALL day!

Although I did not create it, I did come up with a motivational paper weight which is great for work. You see, as you start out with a pile of paper-to-do, you need a heavy paper weight: a very full candy dish. As you go through your pile, less weight is required to hold it down: eat a piece of candy. I figure 1 piece of candy for every 5 pages should suffice. (I don't have an actually pile of paper, so I just used some old ad flyers for this picture)

@stephie: so true :) an awesome motivator ... maybe I should actually bring it to work. Hiding it from coworkers might be difficult though.

I painted this rock for a simple craft series. It wasn't creative enough to make it into the book.

Very cute! I was not blessed with the talent of being able to draw, but appreciate those that can :)

In order to enjoy the nice Nashville weather, I'm forced to use a little bit of everything as a paper weight. It may have been just easier to clean off my desk...

That's a good use of what's on hand. I especially like the edible one. Paper weight or snack, you get to decide.

While it may not seem that creative at first glance, it was the first thing I made doing hot glass art. The hub and I have taken several classes and really like it.

@chaomancer: No, my husband and I have take classes at glass blowing/hot glass art centers with molten glass and glory holes. It's definitely an art form for people who like heat.

Here's a picture of the paperweight being made. I had just added the outer clear glass part and we're making it round. All glass pieces have to be annealed in an annealing oven so they cool down gradually and don't crack. It's also not an instant-gratification art form. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2091/2455493057_e4967b3b1d_o.jpg

This is so bitchen! I have always wanted to blow glass but haven't yet. I have blown sugar, which is similar. Its very tricky and a little dangerous, but very cool nonetheless.

@shannonsfchef: It's all fun with fire. :) I'd love to try making something with blown sugar. Such a pretty culinary art form!

A big paper weight probably means a big pile of paperwork. Ew. Unless it's actually fun paperwork. This would also be great to bury some papers underneath :)

Dolce is my constantly moving paper weight! Hard to see, but she is sitting on a stack of papers. This is our morning routine, I check my computer and she jumps on the desk and helps.

Cats are the best paperweights, bookmarks, and printer cartridges.
