Default Blinking cells

Now I have this code (below) and only the cell in sheet 1 is blinking when I
open the workbook. In sheet 2 and sheet 3, I have to go to macro and run from
there so that the cells start blinking. I need that when I open the workbook
I found the cells already blinking in all sheets.

This is the code.

In Workbook:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartBlink
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
StopBlink
End Sub

In Module:

Public RunWhen As Double

Sub StartBlink()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Font
If .ColorIndex = 3 Then ' Red Text
.ColorIndex = 2 ' White Text
Else
.ColorIndex = 3 ' Red Text
End If
End With
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink", ,
True
End Sub

Sub StopBlink()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Font .ColorIndex = _
xlColorIndexAutomatic
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink", ,
False
End Sub


Sub StartBlink2()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").Font
If .ColorIndex = 3 Then ' Red Text
.ColorIndex = 2 ' White Text
Else
.ColorIndex = 3 ' Red Text
End If
End With
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink2", ,
True
End Sub

Sub StopBlink2()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").Font .ColorIndex = _
xlColorIndexAutomatic
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink2", ,
False
End Sub
Sub StartBlink3()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A2").Font
If .ColorIndex = 3 Then ' Red Text
.ColorIndex = 2 ' White Text
Else
.ColorIndex = 3 ' Red Text
End If
End With
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink3", ,
True
End Sub

Sub StopBlink3()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A2").Font .ColorIndex = _
xlColorIndexAutomatic
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink3", ,
False
End Sub

Thanks for your help Ryan.
