I also got my order today and I am a subscriber. I wanted to share what I got because I enjoyed seeing what others received. 2 Mystery Stamps: -Charlotte alpha (the bookish one) -4x6 stamp from last year’s Evergreen kit (build your own houses/snowy neighborhood scene) *I actually have this stamp already and would be open to trading with someone for something different if you weren’t happy with what you received*
$15 Grab Bag: -black and white 4x6 cards previously mentioned -3 chipboard sticker sheets (gold stars, Christmas set, travel set) -black, white, and red puffy sticker sheet -random icon 3x4 puffy sticker sheet previously mentioned -4 alpha stickers (green, red glossy, white, white glossy) -2 number stickers (both black, one glossy, different fonts) -Highline Spring 6x8 stamp (spring words)
$20 Grab Bag -2 washi (taxi/bus one and colorful outdoorsy line art one) -stack of 50 3x4 cards -3x4 alpha stamp -3x4 vehicle/building stamp -black, white, red puffy sticker sheet (again) -3x4 glossy star puffy sticker sheet -pack of frame die cuts with gold foil -travel chipboard sticker sheet (again) -Christmas chipboard sticker sheet (again) -Young at heart 4x6 stamp (Disney fantasyland themed) -Secret Santa 4x6 stamp -colorful snowflake rub-on sheet -red glossy alpha sticker sheet (again) -black number sticker sheet (again) -16 6x8 papers
Also picked up a few packs of 3x4 cards and one holiday 3x4 card pack, the specialty paper pack, and the Smokey alpha. Pretty happy with everything, especially the $20 grab bag. I do buy pretty regularly from Paper Person and have been a subber off and on so I have a good amount and didn’t get any unusable repeats except the one mystery stamp. Any other repeats were things like alphas, stickers, die cuts, or journal cards that I don’t mind having duplicates of.

I got different items in my $15 and $20 grab bags.
I think this is the $15 one - items with a * were in both grab bags.
*colorful snowflake rub ons *yellow vehicle washi (school bus/taxi) *colorful outdoor washi tape *6x8 black number stickers *red, black, and white puffy stickers with hearts, stars, and geotags (2 sets) *3x4 muted punctuation puffy stickers 3x4 car/vehicle stamp set 4x6 Merry Measure stamp set 4x6 Daisy alphabet stamp set 4x6 gold stars chipboard Smaller travel themed chipboard set 4x6 gold uppercase alphabet rub ons Green alphabet sticker set 4 of the 4x6 vertical month calendar cards 4 of the 4x6 Today journaling cards 4 of the 4x6 name/location/date calendar cards
I think this is the $20 one - items with a * were in both grab bags.
*colorful snowflake rub ons *yellow vehicle washi (school bus/taxi) *colorful outdoor washi tape *6x8 black number stickers *red, black, and white puffy stickers with hearts, stars, and geotags (1 set) *3x4 muted punctuation puffy stickers Days of the week Washi from last month's kit 3x4 small blocky uppercase alphabet stamp set 4x6 Holly numbers stamp set 6x8 Highline holidays stamp set 4x6 Merriest Christmas chipboard set Reddish alphabet sticker set 51 (I think) 3x4 cards - some winter and spring things, travel, journaling, and filler cards
Mystery stamps (* next to new stamps for me): *Beach town (seashore related, no name listed) Daily News *Glamping Secret Santa *Keep Growing *In the Yard Ancient History *Mean Girls Daisy alphabet Charlotte alphabet
I am a little disappointed with the number of duplicates between the two grab bags.
I don't typically mind duplicate alphabet stamps, as it makes it easier to stamp out words with double letters (like Michelle, lol).

Also, I looked through the website and it is SPARSE, like there's almost nothing left. 😳 Is she just going to spring on us that she's closing down?

I don't know why she always takes things down immediately. Especially the digitals. Those are evergreen and people would still buy the 2021 digi stamps and printables in 2023. Maybe she's using the minimal storage plan for her website?

On an interesting note re closing shop, heba (my little journal) mentioned she would be continuing to work with companies in 2024 in her latest YouTube video… and one of the companies she listed was Kelly purkey.

It'd be nice if KP would act like she has paying customers if she plans to continue to 2024.

It's been a couple months since they stopped taking new subbers, because when I had the card issue due to my compromised credit card, I couldn't resign up for a sub, they had to send me a special link to do it.

How long has PP not accepted any new subscribers? It sounds like a bad financial decision if there's no plan to close. And I don't think Kelly is thinking her business decisions through enough for this to be some FOMO-inducing decision.
I hope that those who wish to continue subscribing and buying from her will have the opportunity to in 2024. I understand that no matter the outcome of her shop in the coming year, it'll be bittersweet one way or another. If she closes, it's a loss for the in-real-time documenting side of the industry. If she remains open, she'll likely continue to let the business fester in its rotten ways. Ugh.
I don't think that there's any hope PP will ever consider shipping to the EU again, alas. I've given up on that front.

I wonder if there is any chance she is going to digital only? That would clear up any shipping issues that she seems to be having AND it could be how Heba is still going to work with her. Or maybe a quarterly kit?

Or maybe a quarterly kit? I'd be okay with either of these. I just wish there was some communication of the changes.

I had to put in a dispute with my credit card company for Black Friday. I sent 10 messages total through email, the contact page on her website and through IG. I’m really sad about not getting my order but also telling myself it wasn’t meant to be and maybe I didn’t need to order so much. I’m probably done ordering now because I’m annoyed. I am such a fan though!!!!

It just seems so scammy (and I know she isn't scammy but this doesn't have a good look).

Not me checking the board way too often to see if there's any PP news or resolution to all the Black Friday order issues...
Son of a nutcracker, get it together, Kelly! (At this stage, a partnership with Inked for a monthly PL sub would be a much better idea and I say that as someone who has their fair share of Inked irks.)

VIP EMAIL CAME OUT! They confirmed they're discontinuing subs with this last kit. While vague with the reasoning, they said "it's just not possible to maintain the monthly subscription program at the quality you deserve, so it feels like the right time to let it end."
There was no mention about them shutting down operations moving forward, but they do mention "we hope you enjoy December's last kit." Is that just me being hopeful to not read into it?
It feels sadly anticlimactic now that we're at this point that we all saw coming; I'll gladly cling to the hope that kits will continue on an ad hoc basis until that's outright confirmed.
(Someone will share a link/screenshot to the email, I'm sorry that I'm unable to do so.)

“We're ending the year with a bright & colorful kit to help ring in and document 2024! It's also the time that we are discontinuing the monthly kit subscriptions and sending a warm goodbye hug to all you subscribers. At this moment it's just not possible to maintain the monthly subscription program at the quality you deserve, so it feels like the right time to let it end. December will be the last month you'll see the recurring charge for your kit subscription. All kits will ship by the 25th as usual, but we have been noting some slow movements through the local USPS system as they work through the busy season. We hope that you'll enjoy December's last kit and wish to thank you for your months of being a continuous Paper Person customer!”
