You Are Creative!

I cringe when I hear people say "I don't have a creative bone in my body". Remember creatively playing as a child? We were born to be creative, so we don't need to LEARN anything! We simply need to BE creative. Playing is fun AND crucial to our health. Blox are made of such simple things...an image on a rigid material with a magnet on the back. Something magical happens when they're all grouped together and then you move them around. I actually believe that the greatest purpose of Blox is to provide playfulness and expression. It's amazing really, that this type of creative play wasn't discovered until now! Could it be that now is the time for YOU start your Blok collection so you can benefit from the goodness Blox provide? Or, maybe you just need to add Blox to your collection. As my sister so beautifully said last week, "I need to get more Blox!". Here's a little incentive whether you're buying your first Blox or adding to your collection.

A New Magnetic Wall

While I was visiting family in Tucson, my sister Jean wanted a wall in her hallway to hold her magnetic Blox.  I had brought BloxShop Magnetic Paint Additive with me in my suitcase so all we needed was some paint.

We figured out the size by laying out a tablecloth on the floor. We laid her Blox on it - the ones she used to have on her refrigerator.



After marking the area with tape, we stirred Additive into white paint to make it magnetic. 
The plan was to paint a top coat over the 3 coats of magnetic paint. The wall is textured and I'd never
painted one like it before (with magnetic paint), but I knew it worked on concrete so I was pretty sure it would work.



The texture of her wall created a beautiful faux look.  We simply applied rich rust, gold and brown (watered down) paint and rubbed it over the magnet paint with a rag! (We let it dry overnight first.)


What a fun time we had!

They love how it looks on their textured wall...
and the Blox love their new home too!

What a Difference

"I can't tell you what a difference your art has made on the atmosphere here...just walking by makes me smile.." This is why we do what we do. It's about being CONNECTED to love. When we mix our ARTblox with our favorite photos (PhotoBlox) well, there's NOTHING like it!

The Revolutionary ArtBlok

More people are enjoying the revolutionary ArtBlok every day. The fact is, they make a huge difference in how we enjoy photography, art and words. Part of the reason is that people are having more fun as they build their Blok collections. It's never been possible before to mingle photos, art and words to create your own custom collage. The fact that they're magnetic makes it magical. It's no surprise really, that moveable art gives limitless options for creative play. The surprise is that this revolutionary idea has only now become available. www.bloxshop.com

My Family Tree Blox

What a great time creating my granddaughter Cora's "My Family Tree" wall in on a wall in her nursery! Seriously, it couldn't have been more fun. Watching her - at 1 year old - play with Blox is amazing. She LOVES them! No matter how far away you are from family and friends, Blox help you stay connected.

My Family Tree



Today I was FaceTiming my daughter and granddaughter in California when little Cora began to play with Blox.

We're going to create a Family Tree on her wall so she can learn all of our names and play with her Blox.

What a great way to feel connected and to share what's important in life.

Magnetic Paint Additive

When you paint your wall with magnetic paint, your wall becomes a piece of art, full of stories. When you're ready for a change, you don't need to put holes in your walls - just add more Blox, rearrange them or take them all down and start with a new grouping. If you're a hole-phobe like me, or just love change, it's worth it to apply magnetic paint. Your wall grows and changes with your life. Who knew a play date with a wall could be so fun!
