Update

OK I'm now at my temporary location for the next 3 weeks. My new job starts next Monday. This week is crazy with having to pick up and drop off Bella in a different city. So YES I am still working, but very sporadically. If you have not heard from me don't fret, I have your email marked and I will get back to you very soon. I know this isn't ideal, and I hate to disappoint anyone, I really do. I am doing the best that I can right now.

Tags for Babies 2009

I have redesigned my Tags for Babies for 2009 and am now taking orders for them. As you can see there are three color choices this year, Pink for the little girls in your life, Blue for the little boys, and Purple because it is the March of Dimes color!

Each tag will be $5.25 this includes shipping and handling. Every penny over costs will go to the March of Dimes via my fundraising page at www.marchforbabies.org/Wicks_Angels you can also make a direct donation there if you prefer not to buy a tag.


There are 2 ways you can purchase these tags this year. For those who prefer paypal you can send a payment to me at Tagofthemonth@gmail.com Make sure to include the following information:
# & color of Tags you'd like
Your pathtags.com forum name
Your REAL name and address.

For those who prefer to send a check or money order (this allows for a little more money to go to the March of Dimes because there are no paypal fees) Please make it out to me,

I will take orders until March 13th and then place the final order once I have confirmed that all orders are in, no later than March 20th. Once the tags are paid for I will begin making deposits into the fundraising site.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE A NOTE ADDED TO MY SITE WITH YOUR DONATION PLEASE INCLUDE THAT NOTE WITH YOUR PAYMENT!!!

Been away..

Dear Friends,
I've received a lot of email asking me where I am, if everything is ok, if I am still designing, etc. I'd like to answer some of those questions for you.

I am OK - not hurt or anything like that. My personal life has taken a turn that has been coming for awhile. I am going through a divorce and dealing with everything that comes with that. It's not nearly as easy as I thought it would be. Nothing about it is simple. I've recently moved back to Aiken, and will be moving again I am sure. Because of this I have set up a mailing address, if you need it for any reason it is:

Wicks Works Design
PO Box 6362
Aiken, SC 29804

If I've done some work for you and you have not yet sent me a pathtag or coin please use this new address, likewise for any checks.

As part of the moving I was without internet for over a week. I only had spotty wi-fi connections, mostly with my itouch and occasionally with my lap top. I'm now back online and working through all the emails, messages and orders.

Am I still designing? YES but on a limited basis. I had no idea just how hard it would be for me to concentrate or even be creative with this. I've sat many hours jsut staring at the screen thinking about what I want to do but unable to get it out. I've had to apologize over and over again for lack of finished product and I HATE that I can't get it done. Design has always been such a great feeling for me. So if I have not completed your work, I understand if you go to another designer. I apologize beyond belief at this, I only hope that you understand the circumstances and do not hold it against me in the future when things settle back down for me.

Am I still doing the Tag of the Month club? YES!!! I have always known what my "January" and "February" designs would be, I just need to get them done. I am working on that now. Obviously they will not be received in their "months" but the club will continue.

Am I still designing a tag for the March of Dimes? You better believe it! I can't let my life get in the way of this. I'd pledge my life to saving babies if I could. I'll have these designs done very soon! And I hope you all want to continue to support my cause.

I think I covered it all pretty much. Please don't apologize to me about what I am going through, it is a positive change, and a step in the right direction for me. We all deserve happiness, it took me a long time to realize that, but I get it now. I'm smiling, even when you can't see it! Love to you all!
Jen

New coins coming soon!

I just got the notice from Oak Coins that 2 of my designs should be ready soon! So I should have these coins in hand by next week. I know it's very close to Christmas but they are available for pre-order and I will get them in the mail just as soon as they hit my front door!

The first is a Nutcracker coin. The idea was mine but we had Gridlox work out the art. My version is on Satin Gold and features several translucent colors. The store versions are on Shiny Gold and Shiny Nickel and do NOT have any translucents. These coins are $15.00 each plus shipping and handling. They will go up to $18.50 after the New Year so get in on this while they last. I will only have 28 of these.

The second is the Peaceful Dove, a sun catcher coin, my first! I call my version the Sunburst version. It features varrying yellows and oranges, just like the sun! They will be on Shiny copper.

RARE SAMPLES for sale

Due to a family issue that has gotten worse I am forced to sell off some of my RARE NON-production Samples.

I will be listing these on ebay shortly unless I get some amazing offer via email (wicksworksdesign@gmail.com)

These are NON-production samples which means that they were not chosen for production in the styles listed.

1. The Ultimate Mystery Cache - Stonehenge - Bronze with Soft enamel this is one of only 2 samples produced. It is NOT trackable.

2. Geocacher on Board - Two-tone Polished Copper with Polished Gold this is one of only 2 samples produced. It is NOT trackable.

3. What was in your mailbox today V.1 Polished Gold with translucent RED enamel. Engraved Oakcoins. This is one of only 2 samples produced. It is NOT trackable.






4. Lizard. Lizard. Imitation Hard Enamel (Red) on Polished Nickel - This has the ORIGINAL backside, not the one that was produced and sold. It was originally supposed to have a map of the world on the back of the 3 lizards, but due to a problem at the mint this was changed. This is one of only 2 samples produced. It is only for 1 coin, the Red one. It is NOT trackable.

I would not part with these unless I absolutely had no other choice. These coins have been in protective sleeves since I received them. They have been a part of my portfolio and have traveled to many events and gatherings. They show the evolution of my workmanship. I will not be able to take any NEW pictures of these until tomorrow, however if I have some currently and you'd like to see them I am happy to share them.

Stop and Smell the Roses!

Last April (2007) I began working on a design with roses and butterflies. Actually I had the rose side done first and was stumped as to what to put on the back, then one day I saw wings in the fringes of the petals, so I started drawing, cutting and pasting and a week or so later I had a finished design. I was so excited with this design, it felt like something special to me. When I shopped it I got great responses from everyone but at the time they all had too much on their plates. Then someone suggested I take it to a vendor that I had no experience with. I was hesitant, but showed it to them. They liked it immediately and told me what their buying program was. It sounded like a good deal for me and them so I agreed. This was just before GW5 so understandably they were quite busy. About a month after the event we continued talking but I was told that their buyer program had changed. Since my agreement had been made prior to the change they honored it. For several reasons we went back and forth on the design, partly because I am inexperienced with different types of enamels and partly because, well I don't know. The coin FINALLY went on presale on the vendors site in March, no, April, no MAY of this year, a full year later! After the sales I received an email asking me what changes I wanted made for my versions as well as how many I would receive. I was told I would have them in June. June came and went, so did July so I asked where my coins were. After several emails it was agreed upon that my coins were lost, so a new order would be made. Last week my coins arrived! The coins are beautiful, much nicer than I had expected them to be, and I honestly wish I could order more of the Red Rose on Black nickel as it is simply amazing! Unfortunately I can't so what I have to offer for sale are 2 versions.

Glow in the Dark White Rose on Shiny Nickel $18.50
Translucent Red Rose on Shiny Nickel $18.50
(+S/H $2.50 for the first coin $.50 for each additional) Don't forget to check my site to see what else I have available! www.wicksworksdesign.com
