Divine Damask Locker Magnets
Miss Avalon started High School this week and I am understandably ferklempt. When did my beautiful baby turn into a gorgeous young woman? She's gorgeous, creative, sweet and smart as a whip to boot! She's taking honors classes this year, which means she's going to be a busy gal for sure. Proud mama? Yes indeedy do!
Have you seen the 'Locker Chic' accessories in the stores this season? They have everything from mini chandeliers to book shelves in an array of styles and colors all designed to work in a school locker using magnets. What fun! Avalon got this lovely damask set at a big box office store and I thought she just might need some coordinating magnets. These are so easy to make with scrapbook papers or even recycled magazine or greeting cards or printed pictures, just use some matte finish Collage Pauge and add some texture with Tulip Beads in a Bottle and attach Aleene's magnetic tape to the back and just like that, instant locker chic! Tres jolie, n'est pas?
