Christmas gifts or gifts for ladies any time!

Another Christmas gift idea. I made quite a few of these for the lovely teachers/therapists and aides at Owen's Prep.

They are magnetic shopping lists. I have been using mine and hope it is helpful for these ladies.

I bought a pack of thin craft wood rectangles, covered them in pretty paper using a glue stick. I coated them with 'mod podge' (this step isn't essential but just makes them a little more durable). I covered a basic note pad with card (scoring card to fit over the top neatly) and then embellished the front. I attached the pad to the back using a little silver clip. I also added a few ribbons to the top of the clip to match the papers.

On the back I put a poem and photo of Owen. In each corner I put a small circle magnet (attached with superglue as this seems to be only glue which really holds it on)

Here they are ready for Owen to deliver.

Oh, and they are easy to refill when you run out of pages - just replace pad with same cover and off you go again (I guess you do have to find the same size pad or be happy to discard the cover)

sorry the photos are not the clearest - camera doesn't like close up very much.
