12 tags Q&A…

hey bloggers! as the excitement builds for the launch of the "12 Tags of Christmas", there have been many questions on the blog so hopefully this will answer the top 3.  looking forward to December 1st…t!m

1. "what type/size tags are you using and where can i get them?"…
this was the most asked question from the previous years too.  i work on #8, 13pt. manila tags (approx 3 1/8"x6 1/4").  i've been told this size is very difficult to locate at office supply stores. so mario has agreed to mail out tags if you wish to buy some.  they are 20 tags for $5.00 and this includes shipping (US only)!  if you want, just email [email protected] and he can send you an invoice through paypal to get them out right away – supplies are limited!
SORRY SOLD OUT! 
*UPDATE: you can buy a "stampers dozen" of #8 tags here at eclectic paperie.com

2. "will you have a full supply list posted for all 12 tags?"…
no.  sorry, but i create a tag each day to share with you so i don't know what i'll be doing from day to day most likely.  most of the supplies are basic, some are a little more unique, but remember you can always substitute whatever else might work.  this is about having fun, learning, but most of all playing.  i will also have links for each product if you wish to purchase it online, or you can check with your local store.  they should carry all of the products and stamps (i'll be using all of the holiday ones for sure) anyways and many stores follow along and usually have the products for the daily tag featured in an area.  ask your local store about it – they may want to get involved too!

3. "do i need to comment everyday to win a prize?"…
well, only if you want to win a prize.  the drawings are done each night right before the following day's tag is posted.  you basically have 24 hours to claim your prize before the names are removed from the post.  so be sure to check the blog each day during the "12 Tags" and post a comment each day for your chance to win.  we have had multiple winners in the past and that's always exciting!  Prizes are open to everyone world-wide and we will send your winnings to you anywhere in the world in fact almost 50% of last years prizes went to our international bloggers!
