Newsletter Winners!

first off.. sorry for the weird look of the post today.. (see below).. typepad is being funky today!

Well.. it has been so fun reading everyone's guesses as to what the big surprise is! Lots of interesting ones too (I believe Susan said I was having a baby... good one! :)).

NO..no more babies for us.. not for now anyway.. BUT there were actually some people who guessed right! And actually some people guessed a few things that yes we are actually doing for November, but wasn't the "big" surprise I was taking about! You will have to find out later what those are.. but for now.. let's giveaway two prizes and then I will tell you what the big secret is!

Congrats to the following ladies for guessing it correctly! E-mail me with your addy!

Kits, candy and customer service...

I thought I would give a quick update on the kits!

First off the candy..  I am not going to tell you what it is.. but let me just say.. it was totally Ben's idea. I was already to pick something else out and he saw these and thought in celebration of Halloween we should get this other instead. I insisted no.. and he said I was boring .. that I always just try the same things over and over and so I said.. he was right! So the candy in your kits this time is courtesy of my husband Ben! ( actually they are pretty good! LOL.. I just had to tease him a bit!).

okay.. kits! Well this actually goes along with customer service as well. MOST of the kits are at the post office.. we had a few that didn't make it due to when we began to kit the product we realized that one of our companies had shorted us a couple packs of paper for one of the add-on kits.. It should be here today and the rest will go out this afternoon. 

BUT when I started this business, I really wanted two things: Of course to create fun, eclectic fabulous kits.. but also to have stellar customer service..to always respond quickly to people, to problems, to make sure your kits arrive safely and with the right product in it.. and ALSO to make sure the kits get out on or before the  deadline stated on our info page (which was the 10th.. yesterday).

So I just wanted to apologize to those who kits are going out today.. instead of yesterday!  It truly was my fault.. not the fault of the manufacturer.. because if we had started kitting sooner, or if I had checked the product for accuracy as it came in.. we would have noticed sooner and notified the manufacturer sooner. I completely apologize for this!

We had been working so hard last week to get everything ordered for November and working on our "surprise" that in attempt to make Novembers kits FABULOUS.. we neglected to get all of the October kits out before the 10th. TRULY sorry.... because you deserve the best!

THE GOOD NEWS? next month we hope to have all the kits ready to go by the 5th!  This is all a work in progress for us (Ben and I).. I don't think we anticipated the response the Scarlet Lime kit club would have.. so we are learning we go with the timing of things, etc..  and this next month hopes to be our best month ever!!

(Still oh so excited about the surprise.. hopefully next week I can share some peeks!)

Well watch for our newsletter either tonight or tomorrow.. after we get these last few kits in the mail I think I am going to take a much needed nap right after I clean my house, office and yard before all of our family arrives tonight for our Daughters baptism this weekend! Then I will work on the newsletter later tonight.. after company has gone to bed..

Thanks for all the well wishes on getting better. I think it's turned into a sinus/strep thing now! LOL.. but I am used to it.. did you know last year in January.. I had strep throat 3 times in ONE month? holy cow.. what is wrong with my immune system!??  My husband has only been sick like 4 times (including this last weekend) in our entire marriage.. so weird how some people just get more sick than others..

anyhow.. too much info i am sure! LOL..

well once again.. thanks for all of YOUR patience.. you are all such wonderful customers and you are the ones that make this kit club ROCK! Sorry to those whose kits are going out today instead of yesterday! Next month be on the lookout for a "thank you" gift in each of your boxes..
Hugs to you all!

winners! and a little under the weather..

So sorry about such a late post today! Usually when I say Monday I mean Monday morning.

Well if you read my personal blog, you know Ben and I went to a game Friday night for our local high school football. It rained the entire time.. I mean POURED.. we loved every minute of it.. but Saturday we both woke up to the flu.. it got worse on Sunday and today has been no better. Then three of our kids woke up sick this morning.. and now it's just a sick-fest at our house! LOL..

Needless to say we have been working hard all day to finish kitting everything and getting everything boxed up.. So sorry I was missing in action today..

oh and before I announce the winners from last Friday's newsletter giveaway.. THANK you to everyone for your kind sweet words and birthday wishes! My birthday isn't actually until the 30th.. but WOW what a nice surprise! It brightened my weekend for sure!!

Our two winners for this past weekend are........

Congrats ladies! Send me an e-mail!

Well I have been up since 3:00 am.. and really need some shut eye.. I know that sounds bad (3 am).. but we slept so much yesterday and then I went to bed at 9:00 last night, I think my body wasn't use to all that sleep! normally I get about 5-6 hours of sleep a night. But being sick all day.. I can feel the repercussions of getting up so early.. so it's almost 11:00 pm now and I better hit the sack..

Watch for the newsletter at the end of this week! It might be early (on Thursday instead of Friday) because my daughter is getting baptized this weekend and we have lots of family coming into town. But hopefully we will have a few sneak peeks to share for November! Plus another layout from our main kit, done by Courtney Walsh! (you know me.. love sneak peeks)..

oh and just to clarify.. if you didn't get the opportunity to sign up for a November sub.. we will have a limited few to sell on the 1st. Last month we sold out before the 1st, so this month I wanted to make sure we had a few to sell on the 1st. We will also have a few other kits for November and hopefully our BIG surprise will debut as well!  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail me though!

thanks to you all.. now off to bed.. (not you.. me.. sorry that came across as kinda motherly! LOL)..
