Magnet collectors

How many magnets do you have???

Anyone wanna do a count & see who has the most???

27 from our first Disney trip together. We have lots more but they are packed in a box right now for moving.

We get magnets of all the places we go together so we can look back at them and remember each special place.

Okay, I am not sure if you are only talking about decorative magnets or multi-purpose magnets or both, so.....

I have 74 magnets that include both. If you are only talking about decorative I will have to count again.

Auriel, how many do you have?

 

[KimRaye]

Pass me a calculator, please!

About the only things (non-magnet) visible on my frig are the Handles!!

 

[Aprille]

Too many to count. My fridge was so full I painted the adjacent wall with magnetic paint. Here's a picture. I couldn't get an angle where you can see them all. There are more above the ones on the wall and more below the ones on the fridge plus the side of the fridge is covered too. I've got lots more room for magnets now that my wall is magnetic.

Wow, Aprille, that wall is really cool.

In the collection I have here at work...(get a new one each trip) I have 29

Wow Aprille what a cool idea......................

I have run out of room on my fridge too & DH was talking of buying something else to put them on. I just showed him your wall. Guess who is going to get the job of painting the wall with magnetic paint????


Thanks for the fantastic idea............

Oh I'll have to go count my magnets & I'll take a pic too.

Good magnets I mean tiggerlover.....not those advertising ones or anything........but the good souvenir/pretty ones. They are the only ones worth counting after all.

 

[Nutsy]

Ok...........here are some of mine...............

 

[dsneygirl]

58 not bad, about 80% are Disney ones.

 

[Nutsy]

and here are the rest............a total of around 153 in all.............

I pick up a magnet or two from wherever I go

 

[Aprille]

Okay, Nutsy, since you went and counted yours I did too. I have 278 magnets. Looks like you definitely need a magnetic wall too. LOL! I see some of my magnets on your fridge.

Here's what I used on the wall: Magnetic Creations. I did 3 coats under regular latex paint. It works pretty good but it won't hold anything too heavy. Magnets with a solid magnet back work best. I keep the heavier and/or breakable magnets on the fridge.

 

[Nutsy]

Cool....thanks heaps for that Aprille.........I'll get DH onto it...........

I've already told him the walls need repainting, so now he has an even better excuse to do them

Looks like you top the count for the most magnets too..........

 

[Nutsy]

Hey Aprille!!!

I just noticed the ones you have hanging off your fridge & freezer handles..........they are great!!!!

 

[Aprille]

You're welcome, Nutsy! Good luck with your wall project. Let us know how it turns out.

Oh, and that count is just what I have up now. I've also got 40-45 silver strikes (very cool $10 tokens won out of special slot machines in Las Vegas) for which I bought holders and plan on turning into magnets.

My Mickey & Minnie?! Aren't those cute? They have magnets in their hands and feet. I got those at WDW several years ago. They had lots of different characters available. I don't know if they still carry them or not. Haven't noticed them my last few trips but wasn't really looking for them either.
