She loves to color and paint and draw pictures.
Sam can spend an entire 1/2 hour working on this talent.
She paints beautiful rainbows....
She draws amazing self portraits...
And here is a picture of Sam's own hand catching
a pretty blue butterfly.
Usually when Sam has completed an art project, she finds a spot to display it on the fridge. Sometimes, the fridge is so covered with impressive works of art, a person could actually mistake it for a fine art gallery.
Mom loves her little artist.
See Mom.
Guess what Dad got Mom for her birthday?
A new fridge!
Mom got a new fridge for her birthday!
This fridge has fancy settings and lights and two cool freezer drawers.
Mom is so excited, she hugs the fridge.
Dad moves the old fridge out to the dark garage while Sam transfers her art projects to their shiny, new, stainless home.
Mom and Dad are standing in the kitchen, admiring the beautiful new fridge when Sam asks,
"Can I have a flashlight Daddy?"
Dad gets Sam a flashlight as he and Mom discuss all the
exciting features of their new purchase.
A few minutes go by before Mom and Dad
realize that Sam is gone.
Where is she?
"Sam, Sam!"
"Where are you, Sam?" they ask.
Then Mom hears some noise coming from the dark garage.
Mom opens the door to find Sam with her flashlight.
Sam is hanging up all of her precious works of art on the old , white fridge.
"Sami," asks Mom gently,
"Why are you out here in the cold, dark garage?"
"Why are you hanging your beautiful pictures on the old fridge?"
"Because" answers Sam sadly with tears in her eyes,
"they won't stick on the new fridge."
Sam is right.
Magnets won't stick to stainless.
What good is a fancy fridge if you can't use it as an art gallery?
Mom and Sam are sad.
Mom feels extra sad.
Mom feels so sad that suddenly a great idea pops into her head.
Mom grabs her purse and runs to the store.
Mom returns with a few supplies and a couple of hours later, dad hangs up Sam's very own board. It is in a special spot in the kitchen.
Sam quickly fills up her new board with art work.
"I love my Sam Board!" squeals Sam.
"I love my Sam," says mom.
Happy Sam.
Happy Mom.

We had the same problem when we got our stainless steel fridge. I love your solution! Magnets on the door to the garage work great too if you need an overflow area:).
