I'm almost out of pictures to share!

I didn't intentionally do so, but it turns out I have just enough pictures edited to have a post for every day this week. Today I will finish up sharing the pictures I have so far of the stuff I've been making for the holiday expo and tomorrow I'll share some pictures of our master closet (the very last of the apartment pictures - for now at least.... I may let you see the spare room one day ;0) )

Anyhow, I only have 5 completed so far, but I've got one done except for the sentiment and a ton of notepads left to work with... so I think I will try to make about 20 of those. I figure whatever I don't sell at the Holiday Expo I can put up on Etsy or give away for Christmas presents... Either way, might as well make um while I'm in mass production mode. ;)

For the base of these magnetic notepads, I used brown card stock, cut to size. I also made the cardstock a little long so that I could score about 1 1/2 inches down on the top and fold over in the back to re-enforce the area where I put the magnet. The notepads I got from CVS and Dollar Tree - You'd be amazed at some of the random things you can find in CVS's seasonal aisles sometimes.... and the Dollar Trees down here are great... full of cheap organizing solutions and stuff for crafts. I used a Martha Stewart punch and a Fiskars scallop punch to give some dimension to the tops of the notepads. For the more masculine/fall looking pads, I used some chipboard letters that hubby got me for my birthday and a Fiskars notebook edge hole punch. The lettering for the other masculine notepad came from a travel paper pack set I got a couple of years ago.
