Now taking orders for the December Tag!

I hate to delay things any later than necessary, so since I got such good feedback on this design it will be the December design! I'm calling it Winter Wonderland. It's not Christmas or holiday specific, but I think it represents the peacefulness of the season. OK I know I didn't just say that, Christmas peaceful - shopping, decorating, cooking...I shoulda said Chaos...but I imagine it to be peaceful!

I've reset the ordering pages on my website, US and International. Once again you may order up to 20 tags. If for some reason you want more than 20, send me an email and I'm sure we can work something out! PLEASE have your orders into me by Friday November 21st. IF you'd like to place an order but cannot send the payment right away PLEASE send me an email and I will make every effort to accommodate you on this. Email me at tagofthemonth@gmail.com

If you have a previous credit with me or have ordered multiple months but are unsure if this is one of them go ahead and send me an email and I'll check your account!

Extra! Extra! Extra Tags that is!

Hey Taggers!

So many of you ask me if I have any tags left from previous months. To which my normal reply is that if I do I will put them onto ebay so that it is fair for everyone to try and get them. Unfortunately I just don't have the free time, and I don't foresee it for awhile. I'm trying to get another job, and hold down design and massage and be a mom, so I think perhaps this is the next best thing. There are quite a few of you on this list now so hopefully everyone gets a chance at these. Please limit yourself to 1 tag per design. If you see one you would like to have send me a paypal payment to Tagofthemonth@gmail.com The tags are $3.00 a piece, shipping is included in the US in canada please add 50 cents and everywhere else please add 75 cents to the total order, not per tag. I will process the orders in the order they are received, if when I get to yours I am out of one of more of the designs you have requested I will process a refund to you. I have more of some than others, but I don't have exact numbers.

The tags available are:
# 6908 August TOTM - Spiderman Phone a Friend
# 7162 September TOTM - Leave No Trace (Sunset)
# 7318 October TOTM - Night Caching (Glow and Translucent)
# 7100 Banned V.1
# 7430 Banned V.2 (Glows)
# 7431 Banned V.3 (Translucent)

Thanks so much and happy Monday!
Jen

Now taking orders for the November Tag

I'm a bit late again, but I think it's worth it. I had been working with this design for awhile, really falling in love with it and unsure I would be able to offer it up for sale as a Ready Made design. Then I thought, why not?

This design is based on the 5 elements, no religions or cults or any of that, just 5 elements and in the center the Earth with the "G". I'll call it Geocaching Elements. I seem to be always drawing attention to nature, I respect it, I'm in awe of it and very much in love with it too.

We have not inherited the earth from our forefathers but have borrowed it from our grandchildren. Now that's something we ought to always keep in mind! I hope you like this interpretation of that (there will be another in April)!

I've reset the ordering pages on my website, US and International. Once again you may order up to 20 tags. If for some reason you want more than 20, send me an email and I'm sure we can work something out! PLEASE have your orders into me by Friday September 24th. IF you'd like to place an order but cannot send the payment right away PLEASE send me an email and I will make every effort to accomodate you on this. Email me at tagofthemonth@gmail.com

If you have a previous credit with me or have ordered multiple months but are unsure if this is one of them go ahead and send me an email and I'll check your account!

October Tags arrived!

The October Tags arrived yesterday, and WOW do they look great! I'll be busy putting packages together for the next couple days and sending them in batches. I usually get them all out at once, but my husband has a full day of work tomorrow so Bella will be a bit of a distraction. Sorry for the inconvenience, hope you understand. I'll post pictures soon!

Now taking orders for October Tag.


Hey Taggers!
With the recent announcement of Glow and Translucent enamels I got excited! I chose one of my already existing tag designs and made use of both available options! I got a little more excited when I recently learned how to add fonts to photoshop! So I hope you like what emerged form my excitement.

I've actually never been out night caching, because, well it is frightening to me. I hate creepy crawlies, go figure, so I make my husband go after those types. I do however really enjoy watching bats, and walking in and admiring old graveyards (during daylight only).

I've reset the ordering page on my website AND I've added a new ordering page for our international members! Once again you may order up to 20 tags. If for some reason you want more than 20, send me an email and I'm sure we can work something out! I'm cutting the ordering timeline for this tag in hopes of getting them to you in time for Halloween, so PLEASE have your orders into me by Wednesday September 10th. IF you'd like to place an order but cannot send the payment right away PLEASE send me an email and I will make every effort to accomodate you on this for this month. Email me at tagofthemonth@gmail.com

Now taking orders for the September Tag


Hey Taggers!
I'm a bit past due on the next design, mostly because I couldn't come to a decision. I've got it now though! This will be the September design for the Tag of the Month club. I chose this design because I think it's important to remember to "Leave nothing but your footprints, and take nothing but your memories". I'm a nature girl at heart, always have been, and it's tough to not take a piece of nature with you, like a leaf or a rock, but when you see the Leave no Trace signs they are there for a reason, so we should all heed them. I hope you like this design, and like it enough to place some in caches to remind others to Leave No Trace!

I'm going to stick to last months ordering process. You may order up to 20 tags per address. There are paypal buttons set up on my website (they will be up within the hour), but if you prefer to order directly through paypal you may do that also. If you are located OUTSIDE the USA you will need to order directly through paypal. (see below) I will accept payment up through Sunday August 24th and place the final order on Monday Monday August 25th. If for some reason you would like to order tags but need to make arrangements to get the funds into your paypal and will NOT make the August 24th deadline, please email me.

DNF Monkey Tags on ebay

First of all I'd like to explain why I am putting extra tags on ebay.

When I jumped into this Club idea I wasn't exactly sure how it would work. So I emulated the PTC. I used their pricing which I figured was a safe bet. I honestly have no idea how that club works, because I certainly did not come out even. I'm not out to make a profit on this club, I'm happy to break even, but a loss wasn't in my plans. My other downfall was that I foolishly thought that paypal took 3% of the transfer when in fact they take 3% plus $.30.


The MAIN reason I'm using ebay though is to 'even the playing field' so to speak. I would feel really awful saying one person could have an extra over anyone else, and I have been asked by MANY for these tags.

So in the end this is the cowardly way I out, I know, and I'm sorry. Hopefully anyone interested in these tags will understand my perspective.

With all that said my ebay ID is WicksWorksDesign and the first auction is up!

Now taking orders for the August Tag


Hey Taggers!
I've got a great new design for you. If you've ever been out caching all day and found yourself stuck on that last cache as the sun is going down you know how important it is to have a phone a friend list handy! I know I do. So I decided to run with that and tie it into the Superhero phenomenon that has recently hit the forums. I really do believe that even Superheros need to phone a friend once in awhile too!

I'm going to stick to last months ordering process. You may order up to 20 tags per address. There are paypal buttons set up on my website, but if you prefer to order directly through paypal you may do that also. If you are located OUTSIDE the USA you will need to order directly through paypal. (see below) I will accept payment up through Sunday July 20th and place the final order on Monday July 21st. If for some reason you would like to order tags but need to make arrangements to get the funds into your paypal and will NOT make the July 20th deadline, please email me.

June Tags have shipped!

I received the June Go Green Tags in the mail on Monday, I was a bit behind due to work, but they are packaged and dropped into the mail today! I tried very hard to make these tags lay flat so that there is not extra 'postage due'.

There were not a lot of "extra" tags, so I will again wait 2 weeks to be sure everyone has received what they paid for before offering what's left up on ebay.

The May DNF Tags have shipped!

I received the May DNF Monkey Tags yesterday at about 11 am. I quickly packaged them and sent them on their way! The closest package is going to GA and I would guess they might have it on Monday. Everyone who ordered May should see them next week. If you did NOT order May I have a surplus, once I know for sure everyone who ordered theirs has received them, without mail problems, I will begin placing then extras on ebay. You can check my ebay auctions here.

I have closed ordering for the July Blown Away Tag and will place the order to pathtags.com shortly. Stay tuned for the August design!!!

Now taking orders for July Tag

Hey Taggers! (is that PC?)
I'm getting the hang of this now so I have some announcements!

1. I'm ready to take your orders for the July tag "Blown Away". You can place orders for this tag up until June 21st. For this Tag I am going to allow you to purchase higher quantities! I think this is a design that would be great to leave in a cache you like for the owner! For that reason you can get up to 20 per address. The pricing for these is as follows:
1 Tag = $3.00
2 Tags = $5.50
3 Tags = $7.50
4 Tags = $9.00
5 Tags = $10.00
10 tags = $17.50
15 tags = $24.50
20 tags = $30.00

For orders of 10 tags or more please add $1.00 in the US and $1.75 anywhere else in the world (Canada too).

2. I am now ready to take up to 3 months at a time in orders. So if you'd like to order 3 months now they would be for July, August & September. You will need to total each month separately then add them together for a full total. For example 1 tag a month for three months. $3.00 x 3 months = $9.00 If you live in Canada you will need to add the extra postage for each month so $3.50 x 3 months = $10.50. Once you have sent in your payment you cannot reduce the amount of tags you'd like, but you can increase them by sending in an additional payment to cover the difference. I'll use this month as an example since some people have already paid. Say you have already ordered 5 for this month for $10.00, but you've decided you'd like to get 10, just send me a payment for $7.50 (plus additional shipping for the correct location) and I will change your order.

3. If you have not already done so, please be sure to send all current and future payments to tagofthemonth@gmail.com through paypal. If you'd like to be removed form this list at anytime please send me an email asking for me to remove you. There is NEVER a requirement for you to purchase each and every design in the club, you may pick and choose at your discretion.

OK let the ordering begin! Don't forget I also carry great collectors rings for $5.00 a piece they are on my site at www.wicksworksdesign.com on the pathtags page! If you'd like some just add a note to your order!

July Tag of the Month - Blown Away!

The July Tag of the Month was designed to be (hopefully) a swag tag. It says "Blown away by your cache"! This would be a great tag to leave behind at a cache you really enjoyed. Drop it in the cache then send the cache owner a note saying how much you enjoyed the cache and that you left something special for them! This is sure to brighten anyones day!

Because I'd really like to see these left in caches I've decided to allow up to 10 tags per address this month! If you'd really like more than that contact me and I'll see what I can do! I will take orders and payments from now until June 21st. Please see the side of this blog for ordering costs.

I am also now opening up orders for up to 3 months. Please only order up to 5 tags per address for any month beyond July. If I decide to leave this as a permanent feature I will send out an email and post here about it. PLEASE make sure to add each month including shipping for each month. You may NOT combine the total number of tags for a lesser price. For example if you want 1 tag a month for the next 3 months it would be $3.00 x 3 months = $9.00 Likewise if you live in Canada it would be $3.50 x 3 months = $10.50. Once you send this payment you are locked in for that amount as a minimum. If you decide you would like more of any design email me and you will be able to pay the difference at that time.

As a reminder the email to use for all Tag of the Month inquiries is TagoftheMonth@gmail.com
The email to send paypal payments to is also TagoftheMonth@gmail.com

June Tag of the Month - Go Green!


The June TOTM was designed to remind us all to help our planet out a bit and Go Green! Going green simply means that you have found a safer more environmentally friendly way to do something. You can walk to your local grocers instead of driving. You can use your own bags instead of the plastic bags that they over use at the check out. You can change out your shower heads to ones that use less water. You can even turn the faucet off while brushing and use a cup of water to rinse. There are HUNDREDS of little things you can do everyday to make this planet a greener place! Check out the following sites for more Green info!
Going Green
The Green Guide
Going Green 101

In an effort to catch the tag up to the Month I put it into sales were taken for this design from May 20th to May 31st. 150 total tags were ordered. If you missed out on this tag check back here. A month after the tags arrive and I have posted them to their buyers I will put the extra tags up for sale on ebay.

May Tag of the Month - DNF Monkeys


The "May" Tag of the Month (TOTM) was the first TOTM made. It's the DNF Monkeys. They see no DNF's, hear no DNF's and speak no DNF's. Not sure what that means? DNF stands for Did not Find in the geocaching world. Most cachers hate to log a DNF.

Sales for this tag were taken between May 7th and May 21st. 200 total tags were ordered. If you missed out on this tag check back here. A month after the tags arrive and I have posted them to their buyers I will put the extra tags up for sale on ebay. I took a slight loss in this order due to a misunderstanding with paypal fees, so I am looking to make that up via ebay.
