Play "Tag, you're it," the game! It's a race to find the clues...and beat the game. Each tag has its own unique code on the package. Email this package code to info@mag-tagz.com. In return, you will receive a secret clue! Here's how you win:
1) Collect 8 clues; AND
2) Figure out how these clues relate to one another!
The clues are out there. The hunt is on! If you solve the mystery, email your answer to info@mag-tagz.com.

Design Contest










Hi all! I love all of the entries for the design contest and I'm going to post some regularly on the blog. Here is one entry that particularly caught my eye. Check these out designs for tagz (candy, cherries, big smile, flowers, and a chocolate chip cookie). Pretty good ideas, huh. These are by Emma, 10. Post some comments to let me know what you think!






Grand Opening Party


Thanks to all who joined us for the Grand Opening Party of mag-tagz designs, L.L.C. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many supportive friends. The kids had a blast! I don't know how they ate that many cookies, but somehow they managed! And we received some fabulous designs for the design contest. I will post some pics soon....
Mag gals hard at work!

Happy Thanksgiving!


We just got back from a week in California. We took the kids to Disneyland and Universal Studios. Fun time, but we all caught colds and were stuck together in the same hotel room. Life with kids, right? Here's a pic from our trip!
On a happy note, mag-tagz should be in place in stores by the end of this week! They were held up in customs, but should be here by Wednesday at the latest. Yipee!

Designs




Here's my daughter's drawing for the design contest. She isn't eligible to win, but look how cute! She drew it all by herself on paint. I love the eyes. I can't wait to see what all of the girls come up with! That's all for now.

Happy Halloween!














Hope you had a great Halloween! We did. My husband and I went as Mr. Krabs and Spongebob and my son was Harry Potter and my daughter was a vampire. Boy do I miss the days when she was younger and wanted to be a fairy princess!



I'm so excited about the new designs. We are doing a line of initials and a "bff" tag all with swarovski crystals which will be hand done in Hawaii. They will be darling! They should be out the end of November along with the rest of the product line.

Grand Opening Event

The first big product shipment comes in at the end of November! Yeah! Be looking for our grand opening event around that time. The buzz on this line has been tremendous. You should see the mag-tagz line in lots of our local stores. You can find me on the web at www.mag-tagz.com!

"Tag, you're it," the Game!

Play "Tag, you're it," the game! It's a race to find the clues...and beat the game. Each tag has its own unique code. Email this package code to info@mag-tagz.com. In return, you will receive a secret clue! Here's how you win:
1) Collect 8 clues; AND
2) Figure out how these clues relate to one another!

You can also trade tagz with friends to gather more clues (if you trade, give your friend your secret clue!) The clues are out there. The hunt is on! If you solve the mystery, email your answer to info@mag-tagz.com.



I promised I'd give you a hint on this blog...all of the clues have the same thing in common. I'll give you another hint as the game progresses...



What do YOU think the answer is?? - post your ideas on this blog and brainstorm with your friends!

Design Contest

Enter our design contest! Show us YOUR style and create a design for a new tag. Prize for "Best Design" is a necklace and a custom-designed tag with your winning design! The winning design will be introduced as an exclusive limited edition tag.

Vote for your favorites! A sampling of the design entries will be posted on this blog!!

New Designs

I'm in the process of working on tagz with initials with swarovski crystals and a darling "LT" tag with crystals. Both of these will be at slightly higher price point. They are so cute!

Birth of a Business


I thought it would be great to create a necklace with interchangeable pieces for fashion and fun. In the past few months, I've filed a patent for the idea, trademarked a name "mag-tagz," and started a corporation, as well as negotiated a deal with an overseas manufacturer to make the product. Whew!
