I’m sorry to read this. I don’t subscribe but shop throughout the year and always for DD. I hope she will sort things out. I would be really sad if she closed up shop.

I cancelled my PP sub in January, and every once in a while I come back to this thread to remind myself that I made a good decision. PP is such a mess!!

Got a shipping email for my subscription. Interesting. Same, I think they're sending out the subscriptions now then on Sept 1 they'll sell the add-ons. I have a feeling shipping will be charged for the add-ons but hopefully we'll get our discount.

I'm tracking for delivery on Tuesday. That's super surprising, especially since I haven't received any communication back from PP. I'm way less likely to purchase additional shop items if I'm going to be charged shipping since it's touted as a benefit of subscribing to group it all together. At this point, I'm not sure she cares. How difficult would it be to issue an e-mail to say "hey, this is what's going on..."?

I would have preferred that they held the kits until everything else could be released, for that same reason. Are we going to be paying for shipping? How about our subscriber discount, will that work?

How about our subscriber discount, will that work? I am 100% certain the discount will still apply. The lack of communication, man.

Kit arrived today. That weird star burst cosmic whatever stamp is right up there with the worst stamp set ever. 🥴
I signed up for a three month subscription in July, so I’ve got one more month left before I can cancel again.
I know it’s crazy, but the epic shenanigans going on are actually amusing me now. 😂 Maybe I’ll stick around to see where the crazy train ends up? 😆
I canceled with GoOd RiDdaNce in January and the long break really chilled me out. 😁

You notice we didn't even get an example in the post about this kit using it... not that that is surprising. A page or two ago when people were all "we'll quit after December" my knee jerk reaction was "I certainly can not do that." After this whole debacle, it's getting easier to see as my reality... ugh.

I was trying to see what the fugly burst stamp discussed in here looked like and went to the PP website. But the shop is still stuck on "New for July". 🥴
Not sure why I was expecting it to be up to date considering *everything*...

sleepingbooty you can kind of see it in the insta post they made of the kit in a flat lay. There is some stuff over most of it, but what you can see of it? It’s just more of that. It is so repetitive with duplicate shapes/images. What a waste of materials. I will say the vellum sheets are lovely and I appreciate how the saturation in color is lightened up on the cards and paper. I am delighted by the Taylor Swift reference (make the whole place shimmer) and other pop culture references in the cards. I’ll get use out of the kit overall.

I got my kit yesterday. I love the papers, the vellum, hooray that Kelly gets that we want silver! I didn't really look at the stamp, but I once got a stamp from SC that I thought was bugly and it turned out to be one of my most used. So you never know!
I'm not bothered about the delayed release. Probably won't buy anything anyway.

You can’t even tell from the video, the stamps are mostly hidden. My order will be here later this week. I will say, a lot of times I think her stamp is something I won’t use, but I end up using them far more than I thought. Even her snarky sentiments, which I know she’s known for, I still find that they are applicable.

Mailman arrived early today with my kit. The stamp seriously gives me Starro vibes. tenor.com/bG3FF.gifMeanwhile, the silver rub-ons are legit gorgeous. The cards are a good mix of witchy, good bye to summer, "And just like that..", PSL, and (my fav) T-Swizzle. The usual light grey alpha. Silver & vellum butterflies are lovely. The 6x8 vellum is a mix of Starro and celestial. The remaining 6x8 are a mix of recycled calendar/notebook page and some more celestial/witchy papers that all seem new. Overall, the stamp is the biggest disappointment and it's frustrating because the kit is good.

I just opened my kit. The stamp set will never get used, I'm tired of the B sides of the cards being notebook pages, and a random pumpkin spice card mixed in with celestial stuff is weird. I'd never use the astrology card or what appears to be a Sex and the City reference, but the B sides is just plain ledger. Not exciting. I guess the other big quote is a Taylor Swift reference which I would also never use, but again... just plain notebook on the back. The butterflies are pretty, alpha stickers are always useful, and the rub ons will be fun to use to document a planetarium visit, but overall I'm struggling to understand why it was a $33 kit. We get 12 3x4 cards and 6 6x8 cards, plus two vellum sheets and the others, but it's the same price for much less than what we used to get. I'm disappointed because a celestial theme sounded so exciting and I'm left feeling very underwhelmed.

I just opened mine too and it’s just weird. I’m not saying anything that hasn’t already been said, but the stamp set is complete garbage. One of the papers has both sides as lined notebook paper?!? The patterns are not great, green diamonds, orange suns and blue stars. Maybe she should have referenced Lucky Charms. Would have made more sense, lol.

I expect nothing anymore. it's 10:54 p.m. on the 29th - there'd better be a sneak tomorrow, so the "days" portion can be correct. In all seriousness though, I hope KP and her loved ones are OK. (Not that anything is necessarily wrong, but that's about the only reasonable explanation for this radio silence.)

The near complete radio silence from KP/PP is making me wonder if she has no staff at all now but herself, and there is either something happening in her life that has put her business on the back burner, or she is just gone traveling for the month of August. This is not giving me much hope for her holiday offerings, and the future of her shop staying open

This is not giving me much hope for her holiday offerings, and the future of her shop staying open Given how many of us in this thread who have said we are out of by the end of the year, I think PP is in big trouble. I subscribed for years to the KP shop, and I locked in an annual sub with PP the first day subs were available.

Over/under odds there will be a release tomorrow?
Still no email or Insta posts as of 2:40 Eastern Time on 8/31. Edited to add that the shop still has the July updates in it.

I’ve got it marked on my calendar to cancel on 11/6. I think that will fulfill my subscription without getting penalized. I don’t think there’s anything that would make me rethink my decision.

I’m waiting for an email saying the delayed release will be delayed again ☹️ I feel this will happen tomorrow (Sept 1) at 9 a.m. EDT. I posted on one of the instagram posts that we should do a mass unsubscribe and one woman said she did unsubscribe but is still getting charged (2 months in a row now!) so now I'm concerned unsubscribing won't work. Most definitely.

Also just noticed that a lot of the older PP Instagram content is gone, was specifically looking for past Xmas kit/stamp content/ideas ☹️
