I Post Again!!!

We just uploaded this new magnet on Robot House Party.etsy.com! Click on the link and read the description. You may or may not think of it as a waste of time. Also, I'm going to be posting my 2008 reading list in the coming days. Be ready!

Treasury!

A Robot House Party magnet was featured in a treasury by The Frantic Meerkat! Find it here! It's a very futuristic collection.

Also, I've gotten obsessed with Dethklok again.

Animation

My brother did this animation. I don't know how long it took him but I think any amount of time he spent on it was well worth it. Follow his blog here.

We surpassed 10 sales on Etsy!

Horahhh! We're going to have a Robot themed House Party in celebration!

...who wants to host it?

Holy Awesome Picture of Magnet Makers Batman!

Here we are at a nautically themed playground in Central California. Our friend Kelly took this picture and she said it best (I pulled from facebook), "Jessee and Jordan -- they're not in a band but they'll make you some sweet magnets!"
