When moving a fridge recently we ended up with a large vertical
scratch on it.  I'd like to find a fridge magnet to cover most of it
up.  Ideally, I'd like to find one with a motivational quote or poem
of some sort.  Quotable Cards and some other companies have these but
they are generally 4" x 4" in size.  I need something that's at least
12" tall and ideally not every wide.  If anyone can of any assistance,
please let me know.

Thanks.

Hello jpbischke-ga,

I love fridge magnets and I think I have a solution for you for
covering your 12? tall scratch. It doesn?t have an motivational quote
but it?s quite inspirational. I have several sets of mosaic magnets
that I bought at various museum stores. The sets have dozens of
pieces, are very colorful, have various shapes and you can arrange
them however you like as often as you like. They?re fun and beautiful.
Would this meet your needs?

That might fit the bill.  Any chance you might have a digital photo or
two that I could take a look at?

thx,

Jon

Hello again jpbischke-ga,

Here are the mosaic magnets that you could use to cover the scratch on

Magnetic Stripes

I have the Marble set and it?s wonderful. The colors are much more
subtle than the enlarged picture shown here. The stripes might be to
your liking because of the dimensions. You can choose from lots of
themes and colors.

Here are several other magnet mosaics that come in various colors,
sizes and themes.

As araminty-ga suggested, you could also make your own magnets. You
can find magnets of various sizes at any crafts store. You could also
order custom magnets from an online vendor or your local copy center.

I hope these options will provide you with a suitable answer on how to
deal with the scratch on your refrigerator. Please let me know if you
can accept this as an official answer.

Cool.  I just ordered the "magnetic solids" and I think they'll be
perfect for what I want.  I would consider this an official answer as
it's been very helpful.

Thanks!

Hello jpbischke-ga,

I hope you'll have fun with your Magnetic Solids. I'm glad the
solution I proposed works for you. I'm sure others will also find them
irresistable.

Enjoy!

Almost exactly what I'm looking for (and what I was ideally looking
for most likely doesn't exist).  Thanks to czh for the answer and to
pinkfreud and araminty for their help as well!

This doesn't have a quote or poem, but the size sounds right:

You can buy a product allowing you to print your own magnets using your PC.
An example of this product is at http://www.aink.com/glosinprinma.html

You may also like to try your local stationary shop.
