Custom Wedding Gift Set

A friend of mine got married Saturday (which happened to be Slade's and my anniversary, too!) and this was what I gave her at her bridal shower.

It is a custom magnet set and a matching refrigerator scrapbook. Her wedding colors were black, white and purple, with some silver thrown in. So, I found some great papers and went to work.

Here are the magnets, with their monogram and names.



Then her tin, personalized on the front.


And a sweet quote that I thought they would appreciate on the inside.


The set:


She seemed to really like them and even noticed that they were in her wedding colors. I hope it is a gift she treasures for years to come.

Personalized Refrigerator Magnets

I made these fun, custom magnets for a sweet friend with two very sweet boys. Two big and 6 small magnets come in the set.




The larger glass circles get a slightly larger magnet so that the smaller magnet doesn't have to work so hard to hold up the heavier glass.


I can do different quantities. Maybe three for each kid and then when all their magnets are holding up a drawing or paper, then no more can be put up. It might cut down on some of the refrigerator clutter... *grin*

Marble magnets are super strong! Small magnets will hold 5-6 sheets of paper and large magnets hold 8-9.

Custom Marble Magnets can be personalized with names, short phrases, initials or monograms, or pretty much anything you can think of. Contact me and we can create your perfect set!

Auction Donation

My son's school had a silent auction to raise money for the school and this is what I donated.

This is the whole tin: Paper Bag Album, a Refrigerator Scrapbook and a set of Glass Gem Marble Magnets.


I added little tags with an explanation of what everything was in the tin for people not familiar with my items.


New labels for my round and rectangle tins.

I was a little bummed that it only sold for about half of it's retail value, but if the person that won it likes it (and actually puts pictures in the scrapbooks), then I'm happy.

Custom Order - Hot Pink and Zebra Print Magnet Set

I have a sweet friend that was re-doing her daughter's room and wanted a set of magnets to go on her magnet board. She wanted hot pink and zebra print.


I printed an "S" on the hot pink ones for the first letter of her daughter's name. I can't wait to see the room once it is re-decorated and I'm excited to be a part of the new decorations!

It. Is. Finished.

The big custom order of magnets is finished! And, if I never see another marble magnet... no, no, it wasn't that bad at all. I enjoyed making them and was very pleased with how they all turned out.

Here they are as I'm doing an assembly line to make sure I had the correct number of each design and then putting a complete set in each tin.


All 75 sets! They didn't get shipped in that box, obviously, but that was where I was storing them as I worked on them.


I heard back from the furniture company and they were very pleased. Whew! Whenever I do a custom order, there's always a part of me that worries that I might have to redo something if I didn't get it just right. So, I still feel anxious until I hear back from the customer.

So, they were pleased and will send me a picture when they put their own labels on them and get them ready to give out to customers. I can't wait to see the final product!

Progress

I recently received a HUGE order for 75 sets of marble magnets (12 magnets in each set). I've been working and working to finish it.

Here is what a complete set will look like, except that one magnet is missing because I was having a hard time getting it to print the correct shade of black.


I have to make 900 magnets and I have finished 430 of them so far. Only 470 to go... Can my fingers make it? One finger on my left hand has gotten to where it's always just a little tingly, like it's numb. Weird. I have a callous forming on a finger on my right hand from where the scissors rub when I'm trimming. Whine, whine. *grin*

I'm actually excited to see what the entire completed set of 75 looks like. Here's the work in progress. On the left are the sets that are completely finished. Um, it's a small stack, isn't it? In the middle, they just need magnets. In the bag, they are waiting for more magnets to make complete sets.


It may not look like much, but that's a lot of magnets, folks!

Auburn University Tin and Magnets

A friend contacted me recently to ask if I could do a custom order for her. She said her grandmother was a "diehard Auburn fan". So, we worked out the details and this is what I we came up with.

A refrigerator scrapbook with a set of matching magnets.



For the tin, I used a few Auburn University images I found online, printed them, cut them out and made them into stickers. For the magnets, I printed the AU logo small enough to work with the marbles.


Go Eagles!

Happy Holidays

I have been busy lately! Photo pendants have been selling like crazy in my etsy shop! I'm so excited about the busy-ness, but I'm swamped and all my free time is spent crafting.

This is what my craft table looked like yesterday.


I'm working on marble magnet sets that go in matching tins, refrigerator scrapbooks and, obviously, photo pendants. Whew!

Here are all the photo pendants. And, this was before I printed the 8 or so more that I printed that evening!


I'm pretty much done with orders before Christmas, I think. I have orders that were already placed that I need to finish and mail, but I'm only taking local orders now. I can't guarantee orders will arrive in time for Christmas.

Can Christmas really be 16 days away?!
