Has anyone seen those word magnets before? I would think that someone here would know what I'm talking about, lol. Well I had the idea of shooting phrases and setences behind posterboard. This is my first attempt at it. Nothing special, I just thought it would be something to pass the time by.

My girlfriend has these - every time someone comes over they re-organize them.
Usually they make vulgar, childish and completely uncivilized phrases. And yeah, I chuckle every time I read them.
I like the photo, mainly the uneven and cheaply printed words on the magnets make this even more interesting!

I know what you are talking about.
I like the idea but I think the phrase that you used could have been much more interesting though.
Maybe a cool idea would be putting some seriously charged messages (eg political message) in some sort of serious/humorous refrigerator magnet setup. Of course this would take a lot of work but just popped into my head and thought I would share.

Exactly Dale.
I like this message much better than anything political - you're guaranteed to upset about half the population no matter which side you take on any of those issues. But then again, that might be your angle.. :)

Well, it was my first time trying it. The first word I saw was love, so I figured I'll stick with that idea. I've come up with a bunch of phrases since then, but havn't had the chance to shoot any.
I like the set it comes with. It may seem like a lot of words, but in fact it still makes you think of what phrases you want to use.

We got some from a local soy milk company... threw 'em out because we had a little one at the time who was still putting things in her mouth; now her brother is at the same stage. I still managed to take a couple of shots... yes, I am loopy in my creativity
