I was quite tempted by that $30 roped badge, but it looked like an ADPi had bid for it.
Anyway, I actually called the home office yesterday, and Kellie G. called me back and is mailing me a badge order brochure with all of the prices and stuff. I'd love to get a custom one, but she said they discourage it since a) they do give a wide variety and b) they apparently had some custom orders go bad a while back, so they don't want that to happen again. But can you imagine opals and sapphires? Or a sapphire/aquamarine/bluetopaz mix?
[btw--"Poverty badge" sounds kind of gauche, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone by using that term... sisters I spoke with in January had used that term when wishing to buy jeweled badges, and it kind of stuck!]
