Leftovers

Hello people!  Hot hot hot today.  Please tell your idiot neighbors to get their dogs in shade with lots of water.  And if you see a dog in a hot car, some states allow you to break the windows without penalty, many more have the bill pending.  Finally!
 
A quick note on the comments.  The fix from Jo does indeed work, but I was wrong.  AOL and Yahoo customers will not come through.  The fix is for all comments left, but Google is still snarky about those two carriers.  I saw a comment on the dashboard from Kelley who is AOL and it was not forwarded to email.

Now about those leftovers.  I threw them out, and shortly after retrieved them.  They are from the corner squares I made a while ago.  I do have one last set that I made yesterday to offer but the time involved with cutting and sanding and printing and gluing and spraying isn't worth it.  Also have two 3" singles and after running a cord through the hole, I hung them from a little magnetic hook on my sewing board.  Hmmm.  What if I turned these into magnets?  If it would work, I could attach them to sheet magnets, but most fridges are no longer magnetic.  So before I go through all that, what are your thoughts? 
 
In another file this morning I found a huge Eliza Pomeroy for a 7"tall and 7"wide box.  The biggest I sold was 6".  Don't even have a shipping box for her.  I don't remember if I made an error or planned to do a set.  Regardless, I hate to see her destroyed.  I may paint this box and offer her.  Hobby Lobby breaks up their sets so I could possibly replace it.  My plan was to cover the large stacking 10" to 5" set with paper, but have not found paper large enough.   The corner square 4", 3", 2" set in the center will be offered also, last one.  The two labels for 6" boxes in the front are in the burn pile, and that will take care of the rest. 
 
So please let me know your thoughts about making magnets from the last of the squares. 
Should I just throw them on the burn pile?  Maybe only use the sampler bits and not the bargello and queens.  Uh oh.  This usually happens after I write it out.  Decision made.  I will choose only my favorites, and keep them if they don't sell.  
 
Thanks!  That helped!

Sometimes just saying what you are thinking about helps to make the choice. I do think magnets would be great. One time my DD called the police about a dog left in a hot car. The owner came out before the police could get there. My DD and another lady gave the owner a talk!

Marly: I hate when people leave their dogs in cars even on 60 degree days with the sun shining in.
I also hate and I mean hate people who make their dogs run with them on warm days above 50 degrees, what the hell are they thinking!!!!.
I would make magnets a great idea.

You're so funny! I'd have a hard time getting rid of any of them..even talking to myself wouldn't work! Stay cool...

I like the magnet idea, Marly! I have a magnetic fridge and it isn't even that old (maybe 4 or 5 years)--it actually replaced a non-magnetic fridge :)

Seriously? AOL comments and Yahoo comments don't go through? Sigh. It's like Google Chrome stick not working with Amazon and vice versa (I assume). Magnets -- great idea!
