Great! I had the silver one in my cart , but I couldn't really tell if it was nice or not b/c of the graphics online. I think I'll be safe getting the silver. =) THANK YOU, ladies! *especially for the speedy replies*:chef:

Oh, and do you all have the magnetic or pin? I don't see how the magnetic works.... although I'm sure it does.
 
i chose pin b/c of heavy sweaters in the winter.
 
mine is magnetic and I waer it on my apron.....never had any issues with it
 
Does anyone wear theirs other than during their shows? Do you wear it out for your day to day routines such as Walmart trips, etc.?

No - I find that to be a little weird. :D I can strike up conversation with people without wearing a "Hi my name is" badge. ;)
 
I took one of my denim aprons and had it embroidered, I like that better than a namebadge, it seems more personal and it looks cute on the apron. And I do notice the personal connection is there a bit more when I wear the apron with my name on it:)
 
i had the white magnetic one and got a silver pin one when i promoted. the magnet one slipped sometimes. i love my silver pinback one!!!
 
i love my silver magnet one, hate putting holes in things. and I wear it everywhere! Just got a catalog show from a lady that checked me out at the mall!
 
Mine is magnetic and I've never had any trouble with it slipping. I love it!
