All Wet
Our grand nephew, Brett, is living with his parents up in Illinois. Thankfully one of his aunts babysits him about 4 days of the week with some of Brett's little cousins. She takes photos and posts them. Unfortunately, her photos are the small size that when blown up can dissolve into pixels. So I have to keep the photos small on a 12 x 12 page so when it's printed the photo doesn't get grainy. They have one of those small pools and the kids seem to love it. Here is Brett with his cousins on a float. Later he takes a nap on a float covered up with a beach towel. So cute! I had to do this digital scrapbook page of Brett on a float in the pool.

Using Magnets
I found some great ideas for how to use magnets to organize. Magnets are great ways to get some organizational use from normally unused space. For instance a refrigerator surface can be used for organization. Otherwise, that space is lost.
So here are some great ideas to use magnets to organize with.
This is a great way to organize your makeup in a way that you can see it all at one time. No more rifling through baskets or boxes. Just attach a magnet to the back and stick it on a metal tray!

So here are some great ideas to use magnets to organize with.
