Rainy Day Magnets - Giveaway!

This Giveaway is now closed! Thanks to everyone for participating!

Whew! I was going to post this on Monday, but given that I could find NO batteries in the house to take pictures with I was a little bit doomed!

However, since we have gotten another 1.25 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, I think the rainy day magnets are still appropriate!

So, here is a picture of the cute little rainy day magnets I did! One rainy clip magnet, for you to keep up with that list of rainy day stuff you need, and 3 button magnets one with rain drops and two with puffy white clouds on an orange sky ... because orange and light blue is just such a fabulous combination!!

You get the 4 magnets and they will arrive in a clear top magnet tin ... so you can store other goodies too!

I've made two sets of these, so the other set is available only in my Etsy shop!

Rainy Days are good for Crafting!

The last few days here have been really rainy! Our rain guage has collected 3+ inches not including the downpour we are getting right now. I welcome the rain today, not only because we are in a drought and our grass is crunchy, but also because I find rainy days very soothing to craft and get inspired.

I know that the rain is often associated with depression, but the smell, sound hitting the tin roofs, and watching the birds frolic in puddles brings me a calm that I don't get on bright sunny days.

So, today I am going to make some rainy magnets from a sweet digital paper that I purchased not too long ago, and here is an awesome handmade stamp from creatiate that might help you to mark your next rainy day!
