thrifty thursday

Plastic letter magnets were pretty much a staple of my youth. So, my thrifty idea for today is to buy some & write messages to the people you love. Thrifty, because a package of all 26 letters is only $1.00. Unthrifty for me, because I drove all over the city for two hours stopping at every store I could think of. (Learn from my experience and go to the dollar bins at Target first!)

Anyway, people can write messages to you:

(thanks, mom).

Or, you can write messages to others:

(like the ones I wrote to gram when I visited)

I may or may not have bought eight packages of these magnets when I finally found them (oh, the search!), so I think I will be writing lots of magnetic messages for years to come!
