Anyone Need Some Pine Cones?

I have spent the last few days raking, and, while I normally I love our evergreen trees, I feel a little differently this time of year! It seems like I no sooner get done raking and the yard is full of pine needles and pine cones again. The only bright spot about this task is the fact that I can save the pine cones to use in a variety of crafts - but who needs hundreds of pine cone angels and bird feeders! What would you make out of pine cones?
