Whimsicalmusings

WELCOME

You have entered my world of small places and whimsical thoughts, and photos of my favorate things and fun afternoons in the shade.

Come in and enjoy a moment of quiet time, and creativity, and
interesting places to visit. Don't forget your coffee, or favorite drink, you might be here a while.

I am hoping to make this a weekly update, but as the world turns it may be I find myself in a wondering mood, and find I have to catch up and find out where you have been instead.

Thank you for visiting, and come muse with me.

Changing the nature of our modern applances to a more beautiful view.

We all have them,... MAGNETS... some from the schools, some from the advertisers on the phone book, some from Pizza houses, and some from real estate companies. We all have them, and they hold our up our pictures, our papers from our kids, and so much more.
They are predominantly placed on the refrigerator, and basically ugly.
 I want to end the savaging of our refrigerator.

 We strive for beauty in our houses, we polish the wood of our cabinets, and polish our floors, BUT  we
                         allow these ugly magnets to invade our largest,
                                                                    and our most used, message board
                                                                                           Our fridge.
   

I say no more.

Never should we allow our precious ones to be held up by real estate ads, or eye glass sellers, or out of date calendars again.








                     Pull the paper from the magnet backing,
  add paper scraps or embellishments to the face of an old magnet,
  Change the look of a magnet with ease,






 I make cards, I have tools to  re-purpose paper,
                       Cutting Dies are only one plan I have 
                                                                                         for the magnets on my fridge. I use paper, fabric, magazine pictures, old wrapping paper, you name it. It can easily be added to the face of an old magnet.

  The embellishments should be few, or the magnet will not hold up your work or the pictures you what to show off.
     The ease of changing the look of a magnet can be made with simple scrapbook paper or cuttings from 
 magazines of your favorite recipe or  photo of a place.  But let your creative nature change the horrid look      
                               from the old magnets we now let adorn our fridges.                            
  
                         Let the beauty of simple glue and paper begin to change the face of your favorite
 
                   memory keeper, it can be the the most beautiful place in your house, your refrigerator.
