Kandre, You can take Reba if you want. I get several alerts on her each day. I'm sorry for coming in here and posting to do this. I wanted to do it, but helping Ash with the archives and daily stuff is keeping me from even reading all of the Reba alerts!! That woman is one busy person!!!!!!!!

This is a very interesting idea!!!!!!!!!!! And I love anything that sounds like research. A study in "googling"!! I'm there!!!!!!!!!

Sorry. Ended up getting behind before I started. I'll go home now................

I still have 2 tickets to Baltimore, Dress Circle, Row C. PM me or email barefoot60@hotmail.com (Put Clay or tickets in subject line please!!!). Asking what we paid or best offer within reason.

Seaofdawn, My thoughts exactly!!! Thanks for the suggestion about making pages anonymous for those who don't want to be known though. Great idea!!

Seaofdawn, I'm one of the fans working on the Pin Pages and right now, we're up in the air. Getting responses from people has been verrrry slow, but we were still collecting them. One fan who had responded just emailed me to withdraw her pages. Our short term goal was to have them to give to Clay and now what do we do?? If there are people who now don't want Clay to have a page with their pin info on it..............I just don't know what to do! I had just sent out a lot of reminders to my first group of pin designers and was giving them time to respond before sending the reminder to the next group when this all happened. So, we are in limbo at the moment. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Or if there are any designers out there reading this and you still want your page included, please email me at claypinpages@yahoo.com. Thanks, Francie

I have 2 tickets for Baltimore. Dress Circle, Row C, seats 13 & 14. Asking only what I paid for them!! PM or email!! barefoot60 @ hotmail.com (no spaces)

I wish I had known some of this PayPal stuff sooner. I opened my own Paypal for the Clay's 12 Days of Christmas, started getting lots of orders right away, some for large amounts from those who want complete sets. First they asked me who my supplier was and said I need to get verified. Did that. Did the whole credit card and new bank account thing. Now, it's still limited and they won't let me touch it until I've proven all kinds of things to them. I just spent almost $20.00 in faxes, trying to prove that the buyers will get a product, that I'm not ripping people off, that I have a legitmate address, phone number, etc, etc. What kills me is what I am going through is because so many people wanted the sets of these pins ahead of time. Now, they want proof that I'm sending the products to 5 people at random (they chose them), and yet the whole set is not in my hands, nor will it be for awhile. I have had to make other arrangements to take payments for these pins, in the meantime, trying to find a way to send tracking numbers for their randomly chosen customers who paid for products I can't send yet. Any suggestions???? This has been one of the most frustrating things I've been through. I've been in tears even!! Also, anyone who has dealt with me with other pins knows that I'm not a scam artist and I'm sure NOT ripping people off!!!

Amanda, I like your pin!!!

I got 2 Row C in Dress Circle for Baltimore and I was on there at exactly 10:00. Not too happy, but at least I'll be there!!!

Artquest, I worked with Gary Anderson at pinz.tomskot.com, and although he is a smaller company, he really gave me a lot of individual attention. I also felt that his prices were better. This was with my Delaware pin. I also worked with Jeff, who Missmobius likes!! He was fine, but I was on vacation for a few days during the designing and ordering and I felt that he got a tad impatient. I didn't find this a problem really, but I felt bad since I was camping and unable to get back to him. I always have my eyes and ears open, so I'll post if I hear anything else that may help you!!! Francie I used my AOL ftp site for the ordering page for the Great Balls of Fire pin and the pin jpeg. I tried the aol hometown page 7 or 8 years ago as a home page for a craft club and was turned off by the endless advertising. Have they stopped that? My post office asked me to bring them in bins, one for each weight category. I actually put them in separate bins for each number of pins in the order: 1 pin, 2 pins, 3 pins, etc. I could have used those sturdy plastic bins from the post office, but had already bought cardboard bins from Staples ($1.95 each). These worked great, and I could write on the side what the contents were. Now a question of my own: What pin makers have folks worked with and what were your experiences? I'm having some rocky times with Pin Promotions, although they may come through in the end. We'll see. However, if I make another pin, I would like to consider another company. What has been all y'all's experience? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
