Flipper winner (a day late)

I am SO sorry, folks. First, I forgot to post about the giveaway. Then, things got busy around here yesterday evening, and, despite my calendar reminder, I completely forgot to post the winner of the Flipper toothbrush holder. Ugh, I'm embarrassed when my disorganization is so glaring.

So...making an especially dramatic entrance...the winner is...

SaraG!

Congrats, Sara -- email me your mailing address and I'll have that sent out to you pronto. I will NOT forget.

Stick magnets on the backs of puzzle pieces to be played with on the fridge

From Julie:

Did you hear the one about putting magnetic strips on puzzle pieces and then letting the kids do the puzzles on the refrigerator? I love that one!

Nope. Hadn't heard that one. Great idea, as long as the puzzle-solvers don't block all access to the kitchen. This could work on a magnetic whiteboard as well. Or, if it's a small puzzle, the back of a cookie sheet (think road trip entertainment).
