chick magnets

well, chick magnets may be what 

a lot of men wanna be but,

they may not exactly wanna be this kind?

why those are chicks! and magnets.

and there's one more thing you need 

to make these guys.

the chicks can be found at target.

now you may be wondering why 

i am making these in the first place,

so i gotta tell ya it's an easter craft 

but i know how cute things can be sold out 

quickly so i'm posting this now.

when i found the chicks, 

they were randomly sitting in the dollar spot at target

all by their lonesome and i couldn't 

find anymore at the store.

so i am telling you about this now so 

you can get your randomly thrown chicks 

at target before they are all gone.

LOL

anyway, it's quite a mindless craft and 

really no need to explain but i will 

show  you the needless pics anyway:

the magnets are quite strong.

ask me where i got them i have no clue cuz 

i had them in my craft room forever. 

:>P

but i'm sure you can find any 

ole magnets at any craft store though.

the chicks themselves?

they're very light weight.

so basically that's it in an eggshell.

it's gotta be eggshell since we are talking chicks and also

cuz there are no nut(shells) around here.

...oops except for me (nut)?

so go forth and make chick magnets just cuz 

there's nothing else to do in life!

oh goodness you may wanna get the weight off of other stuff first...

cork sandwich magnets

BBBRRRNNNGGG!!!

the school bell rang! it's lunchtime!

time for a sandwich.

hey how about this one?

that must be a cheese and lettuce sandwich.

hmmm...it looks good i suppose but i'd like some meat in it please.

guess i'll have to make my own.

wiggly eyes, white, pink, and red 

paint markers, and scissors.

got it.

small pieces of felt, tacky glue and bread.

yes of course, bread.

(which just so happens to be small 

cork pieces from michael's).

so now it's time to make some sandwiches.

how about a BLT?

my kiddo loves bologna and cheese.

and everyone loves peanut butter and jelly.

now that i have the condiments and meats,

time to get the bread ready.

gotta trim those bread slices a bit.

and we gotta do it in stacks of 2 so the slices match up.

good thing i got a good pair o'scissors.

uh oh! these slices look stale.

i like fresh slices don't you?

let's just make the top slices fresh.

there. now that's more like it.

let's put these babies together before dagwood dies of starvation.

oh that darn grape jelly can be so sticky sometimes.

doo dee doo dee doo.

(just humming during sandwich making.)

shoot, now that i have my sandwiches made, 

i'm past being hungry.

think i'll just put them on display instead.

hey look i got some junk mail that included 

a magazine magnet.

might as well recycle it. 

(if you're lucky and don't get junk mail, 

any ole magnet will do.)

ok one last step.

and there you have a week's worth of school lunches.

minus one day for pizza in the cafeteria.

uh oh.

i'm getting hungry again.

how about we go make a real sandwich? ;)
