Might be fun for someone who would like to try GB out. Might also be frustrating for many who paid full price for last month's kit.  I didn't buy May's kit (and that one is $15 instead of $10) but didn't GB have a sale like this a couple of months ago? I'm pretty sure because I had subscribed for the March kit and paid full price and then there was a $10 sale the month after and I ended up buying the same kit (because I loved it so much!) for $10. Kind of bittersweet I guess. Here's the linky loo for anyone who is interested. Here is the email also...  |

I bought the may kit. I used to sub and paid full price a few months ago for February and now it is $10, so I feel your pain. I wanted to see the new exclusive kits in person so this is a good way for me to check it out but it is lame for the subbers.

Since I bought the May SB kit at full price, you can count me as frustrated! Seems so soon to put them on sale. But it's a great deal for others...

I figured they'd have extras...so that's why I was okay unsubscribing...more likely than not, I'd be able to get the past kits for less than I paid as a subscriber. With it being exclusive product, she's been having more extra kits than usual. I noticed this trend for the LP kits when they started going exclusive a bit before she added the other kits and made the SB exclusive, too.
I guess she's not in a hurry to move product since there are 94 (or were that many last time I checked) of the SB kit in stock and it is the highest price. I'm trying to decide which kits to get...SB and LP, but not sure if I want the planner kit or not (there was only one TN kit left when I looked last).

Yeah, I just subbed this month and would have loved to add a past kit or two to my order, but I don't want to pay shipping twice. It's funny, I couldn't find any way to contact customer service to ask if it would be possible to have them shipped with my kit.

It's funny, I couldn't find any way to contact customer service to ask if it would be possible to have them shipped with my kit. That was one thing that really pissed me off with her. My kits no longer shipped priority but I was paying priority shipping every month. I figured it was okay because I didn't have to pay shipping on the sale kits when they had a big sale due to combined shipping and now she intentionally makes the sales outside of the combined shipping window so she doesn't have to eat the shipping cost (even though she's profiting off of it the rest of the year). My kits for the first year or so shipped priority which was worth the cost, but then it went in a padded envelope First Class which was definitely not $5.95 every month. |

I just subscribed so I'm a bit frustrated, too. I'm thinking of unsubscribing and just waiting and picking up the kits cheaper when they go on sale.  |

Well, I just blew my freeze and it's only June 6. I had been eyeing that May TN kit, but didn't grab it. I'm glad I waited because I just snatched it up.

Well, that was my shortest subscription ever - I just cancelled. I'm happy to wait a month and pick up kits for less than half the price...

So wait....she charges Priority shipping but doesnt ship kits priority? She calls it 'flat rate shipping' but when the kits first started going out (I joined at the start of the LP kit in August 2013) they were priority. She may ship other kits priority, but I'm in the state next door, so I would get my package in 2 days (usually, but not always) anyway. I can't speak for people further away, but it was always worth it to me because I didn't have to pay for a huge box when she had a sale...then she started doing the sale outside of subscription bundling windows and I was paying shipping twice. I'd even ask her to hold orders and bundle and she wouldn't. So between that AND the fact that she's adding more product and has done away with digitals (only subscribers get the digital files) for now, there is literally no incentive to subscribe. |

I just subbed and while I didn't want the May kits I'm debating if it's worth subbing or just waiting every few months to pick up the ones that I want. I received my shipping notice and will make my decision once I see the kits in person.

Someone help me!! The May LP kit was a crapton of pink...there are literally maybe 8 cards I could see myself using. But I think the stamp set is really cute (and would be $9.99 by itself in the shop) so I can't decide if I want it or would rather try and make the planner kit into a PL style kit by cutting things up.
I won't use most of the cards, most of the word stickers or any of the alpha sticker.

Okay...she LISTENED!!! Doing some of the colorful (AND TOO MUCH PINK) ones with a neutral or other coloring option on the backside. So many of the ones I like but didn't like the pink in are actually usable on the B-sides. I had to look up an unboxing...it's a shame she doesn't put more detailed photos of the kit contents on her site. There aren't even any photos of the 4x6's at all. Definitely more appealing to me seeing it all laid out. Not every card is usable on the opposite side (some are the typical horizontal orientation, but otherwise the same), but the fact that some are what I've been hoping to see is nice!

 Got my order today. Really happy with it. I was looking for something to use with some yellow flower pics this morning and was having no luck. There are several things that look promising here. |
