It has occurred to me that blogging is a little like standing on the podium accepting an award. With each post I publish, I get to ramble on, seemingly without end, about pretty much anything I want; as long as it’s about me.

Today, I am sharing a tutorial on making your own fridge magnets. Sure, you can tack things on the fridge with your local insurance agent’s magnetized business cards, but this is a way more colourful, and fun way to do it. And, it’s easy.

Knife and Mallet. Mallet optional but recommended. Paint – I used my Kroma acrylic artists paints, but I suggest you use regular ‘ol craft paint for this little project. No need to get too spendy. Small paint brush for painting animals.…
