Hello, everyone! I certainly hope you all had a happy, healthy, crafty weekend, and a beautiful start to your week yesterday.
I know I haven't yet gotten around to visiting each and every one of you but I'm trying -- doing the best I can -- and I should be down to just a few left to go!!! It's loads of fun for me although it's slow going and I don't want you to think I'm not going to try to reach out to all of you I can.
I didn't get an opportunity to craft and/or blog as much as I wanted the last several days because my "sister-cousin" had to be re-admitted to the hospital and, of course, I've been back and forth there for her while trying to keep my 92 year-old aunt calm. Fortunately, Amelia is doing better, and hopefully will be home -- again -- soon.
Last night I relaxed myself by going into my craft room and making these little pockets that hold a note pad. After I made them I thought how cute (and different) they'd be as refrigerator magnets so I popped a magnet on the backs of the pockets. I think they came out soooo adorable, and doing them really did the trick of helping me to unwind and allowed me to feel better after all my errands, and before retiring -- God, was I tired!!! Here they are, and please feel free to click to enlarge them... lol!:
Here's a picture of one of the notepads outside the pocket:
Here's the back of the pockets where the magnets are applied:
Now all I have to do is coordinate a pencil or pen to pop inside the pockets!!!
I found the notepads at Tuesday Morning and found coordinating paper in a K&Company paper stack I have; it's just says "Designer Paper" so I don't know if this is the name or not. To make certain the pad and paper looked like a set, I used the K&Company paper to make toppers for the pads and finished the projects by embellishing them. Doesn't the pads and paper just complement each other perfectly?!!!
I hope you like my little project share! They've got me thinking "... great Christmas gifts.
Well, I'm off again but I'll be back as soon as I can, so...
Hugs, and I'll be seeing you!!!
P.S. Hey, wow, I'm getting close to 500 followers so you know what that means... lol!!! Close to a RAK time!!!! LOL!
WELCOME!

Audrey, your papers are absolutely gorgeous! I love how you designed both to coordinate one with the other! You are an amazing woman with the sweetest heart; so good of you to take care of everyone; the Florence Nightingale we all wish we could be (I know i wish I had more of a "sweeter" spirit). Hehehe...I love this idea and can see myself scrap lifting this one as well. :-) Thanks for sharing your joy with us!

Ohhhh, I just LOVE these!! Absolutely gorgeous!! I feel put to shame as I just have a store bought paper pad hanging on my fridge. I'm going to have to dress it up!!
I'm sorry to read about Amelia but am happy she's doing better now.
WOW Audrey, what a beautiful job you did with the lint roller. I use them all the time before I wash my doggie's bed. Now I'm off to deck mine out too. You are amazing! Love the little note pads, great idea for Christmas.
Sending blessing,
