Make Your Own Dishwasher Magnet

Years ago, I made my own dishwasher magnet using a business card magnet. I printed the picture on an inkjet transparency and then used a spray adhesive to attach it to the business card magnet, leaving the white peel-off paper on the magnet.
Here it is turned the other way. It's an easy way to tell if your dishwasher is clean or dirty:

Feel free to use the picture to make your own.

A way to have fun doing dishes.

Or, well, you know what I mean.

My dishwasher is attached to the end of my arms, so this could be a problem

VioletSky,
~~It's always good for a chuckle.

Xup,
~~Yikes. I washed dishes for too many years before I ever saw a dishwasher. I used to stand on a kitchen chair to wash the dishes, I started so young. I couldn't do it now.

Raino,
~~Well, a dishwasher magnet represents clean and dirty and the two people are Pamela Anderson and Jodie Foster. Does that help?

I didn't get this at first...but let me tell you, YOU are very creative! :)

PS - I don't use a dishwasher...and none of my friends or family own one. Strange, huh?

Bwwwahahahahahaahaaa

But like XUP I do my own dishes. There's only two of us, it'd take forever to fill a dishwasher. Plus, they didn't have dishwashers way back when our place was built so there's no place to put one.

I'm afraid I don't get it, either...Eveb after your expkaination...! LOL. Well, I guess it doesn't matter since I don't use a dishwasher anyway....!

Scarlet,
~~Oh my! There must be a million dishes after your big family gatherings.

Jazz,
~~Oddly, there are only two of us and we run it every other day at least. Does Mr. Jazz clean and cook or do you get dish duty?

Naomi,
~~Maybe you're just too sweet.

Cool idea.

Ian,
~~I almost started this post with:
"With apologies to Ian" because I know you sort of like her and all, but I'm glad you got it.

Gee, such a clever idea! I was seriously going to get one of those clean/dirty dishwasher magnets next time I went to Bed Bath & Beyond, but I like your idea a whole lot better! Thanks!

Now...which refrigerator magnet gets sacrificed? Maybe it won't be sacrificed at all, but actually appliance promoted! eenie meenie miney moe...

Carole,
~~I've can give you a business card magnet and your fridge magnets will be safe.
