Greetings, Angels, it's time for another op, come walk with me!
Four magnets are going in the mail. Three to friends off the blockchain, and one to ...Magneto. ;)
Magnets? I hear you say. Yep - that was what I spent hours crafting this week!
Be the person your dog thinks u r
This one left on the handrail at the main entrance to my building, where neighbors going out to walk their dogs will pass by. I tried putting it on the door or the letterbox, but those are apparently both made of aluminum, because it didn't stick!
You matter
On an electrical box.
You are capable!
Into a geocache. I met the kid who MADE this geocache as I was leaving it! Caught opping again!
Be love
On a lightpost next to the crossing button. Pro tip: green lightposts are steel (or whatever, the magnet sticks). Silver lightposts are aluminum (no stick!)!
Dropped off three books in the abbey LFL, picked up one, and left this magnet:
You are worthy
The book I took home
You deserve to be happy
On a lightpost on Colfax.
DFTBA! ...which means don't forget to be awesome!
On another Colfax lightpost. I put all the lightpost ones near begging buttons so they'd be noticed.

I was hoping to make someone laugh with this one, and left it in a bus shelter. One of the few places where there actually IS a shelter anymore - but that's a kvetch for another day.
I am a magnet & I believe in u
Another lightpost. I was contemplating making notes to stick with these saying, "I'm a magnet, take me home!" or something, but then I thought people might LITTER the papers, so I didn't. Hopefully, people figure it out and take them home.
And I got three new incenses to try for my altar that hopefully don't set off my allergies! LOL
Side note: one of my books sold in the shop (the shop where I bought the incense, I have three copies of the book I wrote on consignment)! I know because there were only two left on the shelves. Hooray! That makes me happy. :)
Well, I'm gonna eat my dinner now while yummy smelling incense burns. Be good, Steem fam! <3

I checked the book exchange in the Summerhouse in the Garden yesterday. It was looking a bit bedraggled and unloved but about half the books had gone! So someone is getting benefit from it, which I am pleased about. I have some up in the back bedroom I am going to take round.
I like the magnets 😊 Can we have a tutorial please? I'm thinking I can leave little messages on the trees in the garden (I know - magnets would need string attached 😂).

Sure! I just took old magnets from businesses, like these:

Some pretty scrapbooking paper, which I painted Elmer's glue (white glue, all purpose glue) on the back with a paintbrush, and stuck it to the magnets over the ad side. Let that dry, then you can decorate with stickers and other embellishments. I used glue-on ones (the snowflakes on the intramural snowshoeing team one), brads, and these other kinds that go on like snaps, I'm not sure what they're called, but they look like this:
To use the brads and the snap-type-ones, I use my tool called a Crop-a-dile, which is this:
On the sides, it has pointed hole punches (it can cut through a soft magnet just fine, whereas a flat paper punch probably wouldn't), so I punched holes for the brads (those things that you push through and then bend pegs on the back to hold it in place). For the snap-types, the top of the cropadile is a snap-attacher type tool, so I used that. Alternatively, you can use one of those chisel-type things where you push it into the piece and hammer it through.
Then I painted on a coat of glaze so everything stayed put. Let that dry. After, I pressed them flat in-between a stack of books, but some of them still got a little warped either from the glue or the glaze or both, in which case you can bend them the other way, and you'll hear a little crackling, and it will straighten out then. That's it! :)

Wow! Love the crop-o-dile! I was wondering where the magnets came from, I haven't seen them used in that way in the uk, but perhaps I haven't noticed them 😂 Thank you for the explanation 😍

Here they are usually for delivery food businesses (so, all those pizza ones and a sub sandwich place that delivers, as seen in my photo), or emergency type numbers, like plumbers - the hope being that when something is flooding your apartment, you'll call the first and easy number that is sitting on your fridge instead of googling and price comparing, because water is flooding your home. LOL
I see them less now because many of them used to come on the covers of phone books, which we don't really get anymore. Sometimes they come in sales adverts or on newspapers - which I don't get anymore.
I have a couple of stacks of them because I felt bad throwing a bunch of magnets in the trash, and so I put them in my craft supplies figuring I'd do something with them someday. Now I finally have! LOL.
But this stack was the REALLY old stack, of ones from my college town (hence, all the pizza and subs delivery for late night student life, lol). I know I have more somewhere in the craft stuff, but it's a bit of a mess right now, so I'll probably end up doing a part II op again someday when I find more. ;)

Inspirational magnets! Could this be the start of a cottage industry? With a 3D Printer you could have Hallmark on the ropes. 😎

Great project and so fun! I would love to find one of those in a geocache. Cool that you placed it in one!

I walked by and saw it and went, "YEAH I'm putting one in the geocache!" ...because I had found that geocache months ago. It's in-between my apartment and Sprouts! :)
