More Cross Magnets

Here are two more magnets that I painted.  I used the same purple/gold/black combination, and I think it worked just as well on these.  I love the hearts.  I am keeping these for myself, too. 

Cross Magnets

I bought these magnets with the intention of painting them and giving them away as Christmas gifts.  Once I painted them, however, I decided to keep them for myself.  I love the black/gold/purple combination.  I like the way they look with swapping out the gold and purple.  Don't you?

I Think I'm Destined To Win!

Yesterday, I wrote a post about my obsession with magnets.  Today, I found this giveaway on Mom. Undecided.  She is giving away magnets!

These were made by Intentional Glass, and you can find here etsy shop here.  She has so many beautiful things in her shop, too.

Magnets

I love magnets.  Seriously, it's like an addiction.  Check out my fridge:

That's only the front.  The sides are also covered.  I have magnets from most of the states I have visited, lots of elephant magnets, and even more "bag clip" magnets. My favorite ones, though, are the ones that my kids have made me over the years. The old elementary school they used to go to did a fundraiser where they made magnets out of the kids artwork.  I always bought those. 

I was thinking that this year, something like that would make great gifts for the kids grandparents.  I did a search for sites where you can make refrigerator magnets, and luckily I found a site that will work for what I want.  My biggest obstacle now is going to be getting Ryan to draw something that doesn't involve AC/DC or skulls.  At 15, that seems to be his obsession right now.  I'm just glad my girls still like to draw hearts and rainbows. 

Flower-ish Magnet

Again my camera was acting up, and when I edited the pictures, the white looks yellow. The bottom flower is really white, with blue, pink, and orange flowers. The front flower is black with different colored flowers on it.

It looks a whole lot prettier in person...

This one is also a clip, so it can hold paper on the fridge. I got these in a pack of three at Walmart for under $3. I am really into thrifty shopping this year...

A Little Ladybug

I painted this one...

For some reason, when I edited the pictures, it turned all the white a little yellow. Trust me when I tell you her face is actually white.

I made a set of these little critters for myself a while back, and thought they would make good Christmas gifts. This guy has a clip between his head and body that can hold papers on the fridge.

Ohm, and he does have a right side...I don't know why it's black in the picture...

Inspiration Struck

This may come as a shock to you all, but I am totally addicted to etsy. I keep finding the cutest things, and wish I could buy everything. I have also decided that I am going to try and do the majority of my Christmas shopping on etsy. Tonight I was browsing the polymer clay creations, which, by the way, I really want to learn how to use, and I found buttons.

Adorable little buttons.

And I got to thinking...I don't sew. I have no use for buttons, but they are so flippin' cute. And then it hit me.

Magnets. I can buy those little round magnets at a craft store, attach them to the back of the buttons, and voila, Christmas gifts!

The buttons that really caught my eye were these colorful little critters. I found them in Tessa Ann's Etsy Shop.

Aren't they sweet? She has a wonderful selection of buttons, in all designs and colors. I plan on buying a whole bunch, because of course I will keep some for myself. (I have a small magnet obsession, too) She has Halloween ones and Christmas ones, and fruit ones and patriotic ones...oh, just go look for yourself!

Brittany Bellows Watercolor

I know, I know, you're all like, "not another elephant!". But I can't help it. I keep finding the cutest ones.

This is a little refrigerator magnet. I love how the elephant is different colors...I have so many "regular" gray ones. I found this magnet for $4 in Brittany Bellows Watercolor etsy shop. She has all kinds of beautiful paintings in her shop. I think she is really talented.

And she paints elephants, so that makes her just abut perfect!

Fish Magnet

The newest creation from brandi rose. I just love when she makes me magnets!

Boo's Butterfly Magnets

Last week, brandi's class talked about butterflies. She made me two magnets. Aren't they adorable?
