The Beauty of Blox and The Sentimental Stories Behind Them

Isn't it grounding when we unearth a good "old" memory? Or when we meaningfully celebrate someone in our life? Then why is it that our most important photos are hidden away inside photo books or in boxes? Sadly, the stories behind our photos are often untold. The beauty of Magnetic Blox are that they capture and celebrate stories. I've always been intrigued by what happens when people share stories via Magnetic Blox. I love how they bring new meaning to our lives by reminding us who we are, and where we can go in life. There really is no better way to enjoy what we care about than on a magnetic wall of Blox. Think about your stories and what's important about them? Start by having Photoblox made of the special people in your life (past and present). Then, look through our collection of WordBlox that share the messages you want your magnetic wall to reflect. Did you know that we can also create WordBlox with your words? Let us know what they are here. Why not start today to capture & celebrate your beautiful stories - before they fade away or get stashed away in a box.

Magnetic Blox aka PLAYmagnets

Oh how we enjoy our prized photos. What if they aren't just a treat for your eyes, but also a playful interactive experience? Memories don't need to stay in a photo book, or behind glass in a frame. Re-imagined, they can be brought alive on your wall...using the power of magnetism. Magnetic Blox are little PLAYmagnets that hold memories...and the emotions they stir up. What better place is there to remember or reimagine - than a magnetic wall? Your PLAYmagnets get you in the mood...for life! Somewhere on your wall is a memory so precious it will rekindle joy. Which wall will YOU find it on? Magnets over nails!

Blok Blok, Who's There?

Magnetic. Magnetic Who? Magnetic Wall Paper, that's who. Does the thought of painting a wall with magnetic paint stress you out? If so, you are going to love what we're about to share. We have invented a new way to make a wall magnetic and it involves NO PAINTING! It's Magnetic WallPaper! It comes in several sizes and colors and we can even make some in a custom color for you for a small charge. This is so easy, literally a child can do it. You simply pull the backing off and press it firmly to the wall. It has a low tack adhesive on the back that allows you to reposition it and doesn't leave a residue when you feel like moving it around. I know, hard to believe, right? This is our soft launch and if you'd like to be among the first to enjoy it, you'll find it on our BloxShop site. http://www.bloxshop.com/magnetic-wallpaper.html

Everyone is an artist. What kind are you?

Life has a more peaceful quality when you feel like you are part of it. One way to connect yourself to what's happening in life is through making something. My favorite is visual art, but there are so many forms. You may be good with words, photography, gardening, face painting, music, massage or wood-working. One benefit is losing yourself in the process. Next time you feel stale or stressed, consider making something. You'll be glad you did.

Did you know that your wall can cause dancing?

Magnetic Blox are about big and small moments that bring a smile to your face
and make you want to dance.

Next time you take a snapshot, preserve that moment on a Blok and enjoy the
smile and the happy dance.

Happy Blokking!

Art Changes Things

It’s so amazing how art changes things. Art helps us calibrate - both individually and as a society. From the joy we receive from creativity, to the raw emotion it provokes, art has power. For me, it helps fill the empty places in my soul. Making art has such a great effect on how I feel. I honestly don’t know what I would do without it. Life is just more special with art in it. My wellness-meter is higher after creating or enjoying a piece of art. Somehow having art in my life helps me transcend my problems. I don’t know how that happens, but it does. It has something to do with the story that is told through the art I suppose. I also love how art brings people together. There is so much isolation in our lives today. At least in mine. Probably about 90% of the time, I’m feeling somewhat lonely - missing my parents, children, grandchildren, sister etc. So, I paint and have my favorite photos printed on PhotoBlox. This is what’s helpful to me. When I mingle them all together it feels like a story and looks like a beautiful piece of art. Moving the Blox around is so therapeutic.
My passion in life is to pass along this wonderful gift - of using the power of the magnet, the power of images and color - to be able to enjoy art in a beautiful, fresh, new way. Then, there’s the way Blox can be used to help organizations create change in the world. We’ve found a “beautiful way” to use Blox…”to make a difference”. If you’d like to learn about it, you can visit: www.compassionart.us I hope you enjoy your story and those in your life who are important to you. If you find joy in “playing with your Blox”, I’d love to hear about it. You can share your joy by emailing me @ marg@bloxshop.com The very best, Marg
