Description:
So...I just saw the coolest thing on a Yahoo Group (shout out to Shelly Hickox for the idea). For this swap, you will alter an ordinary, wooden mouse trap into a message clip for your partner (Tim Holtz style, of course). Use 2 strong magnets on the back (one at the top, one at the bottom) so it will stick securely on the refrigerator and actually support the weight of stuff you clip on it. Need inspiration? Check out Shelly's blog: http://shellyhickox.blogspot.com/2012/04/mousetrap-message-clip.html . I LOVE THESE!

Wish there was a U.S. version - international postages will be killer :(
