I’m waiting for an email saying the delayed release will be delayed again ☹️ But it won't come until the time the sale is supposed to start. FFS.

Also just noticed that a lot of the older PP Instagram content is gone, was specifically looking for past Xmas kit/stamp content/ideas ☹️ I feel like a lot of the sneaks have been IG stories, which is annoying. I don't understand why they'd clear out the Insta at this point and not just delete the entire thing. If I was the lady still being charged after cancelling, I'd be livid.

Why delete the evidence of years of existence + many successes? That makes no sense. Even when rebranding, you need a very serious discussion on how appropriate it is to delete if you're considering it (spoiler: it often isn't). Going from KP to PP didn't change a thing except the name. Same kind of paper products, same vibe. Geesh, this was a textbook don't-delete case.

Here's my bet:
Tomorrow we will be told it has all been pushed to the 15th - normal release date. We will also be told there will be holiday items and they will release on October 13 to subscribers. In November, we will get an announcement that the Black Friday sale will be a Closing Shop sale.
/sad

I dropped my sub in January but was a subber and loved PP Christmas collections. This is so strange to go remove so many old posts. Definitely something is up. Feeling bad for current subber left trying to figure out what’s up.

I mean, sent at 2AM the day of the supposed make up release? I'm betting we see zero activity on IG all next week, too. Dude, just tell people what's up.

Apart from the snake, I like the kit very much! I've been looking for potion bottles and I really like the navy. I'm going to enjoy KP for however long she lasts. I think the peas called it, expecting this to be the last few months, which is a real shame

I really hope that is an extra kit, and not the main one.

She still hasn’t even added the August kit to the shop.

My biggest issue with KP is the things she does well, she does SO incredibly well. She's able to market a niche portion of the scrapbooking community in ways the bigger companies can't compare to both in style and subject matter.
But then everything else she does so terribly is off putting in ways that decrease the good graces she's created with the product itself.
I love those cardstock pumpkin stickers and the vellum ephemera pieces. That sticker sheet though.. nope. That rainbow was on a sheet from last year in different autumnal colors, pretty sure those potion bottles at the bottom were used somewhere last year or the year before in the Halloween kit.

This is why I’ve stayed a subscriber, and was a subscriber when she was the KP shop. I keep intending to stop my sub, but her products are unique and generally can’t be found anywhere else, and I know I will have serious FOMO if I quit my sub and miss out on a favorite kit or stamp set. But it really looks like KP has no staff now (no updating of the PP website, no IG content or response to comments, no email replies), and maybe has decided to let the shop die. It’s too bad

Little video sneak of thanksgiving and Halloween puffy stickers and rub-ons.
Message says serious health and personal issues are going on.

If you're a one person show, she could have just sent an email to her subscribers and said that what she said instead of just stringing us along with no communication. I feel bad that there were serious health and personal issues. This doesn't bode well for the future of the company, but if this is her only income stream, she really needs to figure out better support people or people will continue to drop her sub.

I am sorry she's facing such struggles, but IMHO, it's a bit late to be sharing that info and why just do it on Instagram? Just a quit email to her paying clients letting them know shit is happening would have gone so, so far in customer relations.

Along with a reel on IG of puffy stickers, leaf die cuts, rub ons, and chipboard phrases.
I will admit I was excited to see a sneak of SOMETHING, but the statement? This could've been sent in an e-mail to subscribers to give us a heads up weeks ago. And the "we" used in the statement is confusing.
We all want KP to be healthy, but we'd also all like her to not have a track record of dropping the ball.

Totally agree with what everyone is saying. Also wish I didn’t watch the sneak because I love a lot of it 🙈

Also wish I didn’t watch the sneak because I love a lot of it 🙈 I’m disappointed by what’s going on, but at this point I’m hoping I love every single thing she releases so that I can stock up on awesome stuff before the shop implodes. If I hadn’t taken most of this year off from the shop I’m sure I’d be at my wits end with the shenanigans though.

PP is my last kit club. It has been for quite some time, and I was explaining to DH how I felt about it (during her radio silence). I think part of the reason I'm so upset about it is because if/when PP does go away, it'll close another chapter in my personal SB journey.

Part of me wonders if she was in the hospital and unable to communicate because of it. I agree there should've been a backup plan if she was admitted, but a serious health issue can mean a lot of things.

While I can see that point as being valid, an Instagram post with the information is not adequate IMHO. Send an email to your subscribers.
