a side note for the glass bead magnet coalition

[zindii.livejournal.com]

at the discovery store at the mall they had sets of these selling for $10 for 10

and truthfully, they were lame. the pictures were all the same within the set, and they were grainy and poor (supposed to look like old magazine pictures, but weren't all that attractive).

also, the magnets they used were the thin 'strip' type (verses the heavier duty round type) and i can't imagine that magnets that thin would be able to really hold something on.

cheap and icky!

i have seen much cooler ones posted here and have had extrordinary luck making a set from photographs of a gathering of friends from last summer which i plan to auction off to the same group next summer.
