Loving the magnets. I think I might make a few for my stocking out of the girls' art. :)

Thanks! They're so easy, and I think they turned out really cute! I just used images from the Barefoot Books catalog, but I love the idea of using kids art too. I'm trying to figure out the best possible way to categorize and save the twins' artwork, but that's another post entirely.

I echo MP, loved the magnets. Another favorite: E's tongue out in concentration. So cute!

Christina, the tongue out is totally his concentration pose. He's been doing it ever since he was a baby. (In fact, they even mention that "Geremu holds out his tongue" when he's trying to master a skill on his lifebook video!)

Jayme, that's fabulous that it is in his LBDVD. So sweet.

Question for you: Being the non-crafty soul that I am, how exactly did you make those magnets? Thanks in advance for assisting the woman who didn't take an art class until college ;).
