Favorite fridge magnets?

Among the ones I bought ~

There's nothing wrong with me that a little CHOCOLATE won't fix.

Ones I made ~
I turned ladybug buttons into magnets (penny & quarter sizes)
I turned large butterfly appliques into magnets

Most of mine are animal related, for example:

It's all fun and games till someone ends up in a cone!

My therapist has a wet nose

Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend, never had a dog.

The more I get to know some people, the more I like dogs

One for Hubby: I love you more today than yesterday, yesterday you really pi$$ed me off!

One for me: I'll have a cafe, mocha, vodka, valium latte to go please.

My favorite is a picture of a woman in a 1970's era orange polyester pantsuit with the caption reading "I was never meant to fly coach". And I don't.

This is me! I hate anything hanging on the front or side of a fridge. It makes the kitchen look cluttered and messy.

When my kid was little, I'd put his art and school work up there, as showcasing his achievements was more important than tidiness at the time, but boy was I glad when he was old enough for that to stop!

The only think that ever hangs on my fridge is a small magnetic note/list pad on the side and it coordinates with the season or the kitchen decor.

I can't use fridge magnets because my fridge is customized with wood panelling which matches the cabinets. It was like that when I bought the place.

For messages, business cards, reminders, etc., I have a framed cork board hanging on a wall in the kitchen. Keeps the clutter confined and I don't miss the magnets, either.

I have those solid shaped colored magnets like arrows and stars to hold papers. I use the what I call colored gingerbread people to hang calendars and receipts for the week and for decoration I have fridge magnets of famous art paintings from museums we have visited decorating one side of our fridge. My kids when they visit us, like to turn a few upside down and they wait to see how long before I notice this! Hehe.

I have several sayings : Queen for a Day, and others w/doggies. Most are Mary Engelbreght (sic).

I don't have anything on my fridge. That would really annoy me.

I generally don't have any on the front (I keep a few things I need on a hidden side) but after reading this I put out my baseball team magnets. Bring it on!

I have a nice collection of magnets from all the places we have travelled. They take up no room in the suitcase. I like the ones that have a clip on them so I can hang more than one thing on them.

We have a stainless refrigerator so magnets won't work on the front. I do have some on either side. These are two of my favorites. I've had these magnets for years and years.

The one and only magnet on the front of my fridge is one my DH bought me as a stocking stuffer many years ago it says:

"I made a wish and you came true" now that he's gone it means even more.

I generally hate anything hanging on my fridge. However, I now have a few photos of my "niece" hanging on it. One is small collage with her birth announcement and the other is the x-mas card. Both are hanging together using one magnet that says Nashville.

Anything from her or of her will more than likely be displayed on the fridge. LOL Yes I've turned into *that* person.

I keep reading the word "fudge" -- I guess I'm hungry.

But my fridge magnet shows Billy Graham praying, I think it says, Keep Praying. It had been on my parents fridge when I was taking care of them. I just won't part with it.

If I did a funny one it would probably be a Minion one. They crack me up.

I normally don't put anything on the fridge but my mom had some really pretty Thomas Kinkade (the painter that passed away) magnets.

I loved them.

They came in a set of 4.

Our kitchen was very tiny so anything you put in there could look like clutter but these were so cute.

Eventually the little "gold" corners turned and they didn't look so pretty.

I should have painted them with touchup gold paint to fix it but I wasn't thinking.
