It's still in the box. I now realize how easy they are to use--and I will use it for my fridge photos! :)I already wanted to scan them because they look pretty frayed around the edges. This is a wonderful solution to my angst! :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-46733469355151369402013-04-27T08:35:02.684-04:002013-04-27T08:35:02.684-04:00Another suggestion would be to acquire (Mother'...Another suggestion would be to acquire (Mother's Day is coming soon) a digital photo frame and put the fridge photos on that - along with others you enjoy on a daily basis - and prop that up somewhere so you can still enjoy them daily but keep the fridge clear.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808160376479302563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-83056170159599084982013-04-25T22:08:18.925-04:002013-04-25T22:08:18.925-04:00Ha ha, Dave, you have my number!

Where did they go?"<br /><br />I'm getting to like my bare fridge though, adorned as it with the fridge magnets I actually love and not the ones advertising this and that, which I threw away.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-41116765751097366122013-04-25T19:23:03.587-04:002013-04-25T19:23:03.587-04:00I think you are using your blog as an 'early w...I think you are using your blog as an 'early warning system' so people can get used to the idea before the shock of the reality.

I've never actually had a photo of you or any of your grandchildren on my fridge. And come to think of it, I've never seen your photo on anyone ELSE's fridge, so I think it's pretty safe to say that you can move forward perfectly guilt-free. :)<br /><br />Although, I DO have photos of Tippy and Torie in a silver frame in our bedroom alongside some of our grandkids... :)<br /> <br /><br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527926041729913404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-62270040041899582022013-04-25T13:50:20.991-04:002013-04-25T13:50:20.991-04:00Ha ha Cindy, what a wonderful idea but I'm try...Ha ha Cindy, what a wonderful idea but I'm trying to keep the top of my fridge clutter free too. :) I have them all together, many of them still stuck to magnets with adhesive backing. Over New Years I took all of my photos out of albums and filed them in Creative Memories photo boxes. I love photography and had albums for every year of our lives together and they took up so much space. I listed in each box the key events of each year--it was quite an archiving task. I think I will add the photos to the appropriate box and treasure them there. :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-87635977218355311192013-04-25T09:09:47.831-04:002013-04-25T09:09:47.831-04:00How about getting a photo album or scrapbook and p...How about getting a photo album or scrapbook and putting them all in it then putting that on top of the fridge so they are all there but protected from curling corners or containers of ketchup falling out of the fridge!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808160376479302563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-83973889293549622872013-04-25T06:45:23.729-04:002013-04-25T06:45:23.729-04:00Deb--Mail!?

You are right - folks seem to get a kick out of seeing their photos there. Although my sis did say it has it's own set of pressure. People give her pictures to put up. Ha ha. My mother stripped her fridge when she moved from her house into a care-a-minimum - and I encouraged her to keep the new small fridge clear. Yet - the pics have crept back on.
