Ready to banish those stacks of torn-out magazine pages of how your dream rooms should look? Domino magazine has launched My Deco File, a free web tool that lets users save pictures from a cell phone, computer or the Internet and create electronic albums with ideas for renovating and decorating. The "inspiration boards" can be organized several ways (by room, by color, by theme) and can be kept private or shared. Want everyone to see your designer's eye? The magazine says you can even embed your albums in your blog. Register to use at www.dominomag.com; click on "My Deco File." Rocks that radiate Neither rock nor mineral, these glow-in-the-dark pebbles can multitask: lighting up an evening tablescape or lining a path through the garden. Powered by absorbed sunlight -- or any other light source -- the resin stones in jadite green cost about $4.99 per half-pound, about 100 pieces. Available at Amish Corner, 224 E Main St., Anoka; 763-712-1350.
