have there been any more sneaks from KP? Or Brandi? I just saw a KP sneak on IG about an hour ago while I was waiting in the pick up line at school.

I saw KP's and FYC's on IG a few minutes ago too. The 15th and 21st can't get here quick enough for me to snatch them up!

this is the one I've been waiting for, and I'm sad to say that I'm not sure I like this kit either. The baby blue kinda ruins it for me. I'll reserve judgement until I see the full kit.

I saw this Gossamer Blue sneak on Instagram. Its called December Memories. click on them to make them bigger. this is the one I've been waiting for, and I'm sad to say that I'm not sure I like this kit either. The baby blue kinda ruins it for me. I'll reserve judgement until I see the full kit. And see? This wasn't really on my radar and I *do* kinda like it. It will come down to the price point.

This wasn't really on my radar and I *do* kinda like it. It will come down to the price point. I've bought the kits over the last couple years, and they're pricey at $99 but LOADED with product that includes an album. I've been highly satisfied before and find it worth the money. If I recall, last year I believe they sold individual pieces from the kit toward the end of the season, so if you like something it might be available later.

goldenblind221 there is no way I will pay $99. So I guess that counts me out. I dont need an album either.

Love the Gossamer Blue but I don't need an album either so I'm out at that price point. Bummer because I would buy the embellishments.

I really like the GB sneak, but I'm with you all, would love to be able to buy bits and pieces without buying another huge kit.
IMO, if you're going to release a huge kit for Christmas, you need to sneak it early so you can compete with those DD products. Mid-October is just too late. I've already purchased a number of items and am just adding a few add-ons at this point.

Sometimes, I'm just amazed at how expensive this scrap stuff is. I couldn't justify a total nearing US$ 100 for a December/Christmas album, honestly. I could take it out of my budget but I'd be looking at the album and just thinking to myself: "That's about one Serge Lutens perfume." "That's half a pair of Repetto ballerina flats." "That's a week of fancy groceries including foie gras." Using the cheaply-priced SC/AE/ABM kits I collected over the past few months, I was easily able to put together a neutral minimalist aesthetic card core for a DD album "for free". I did it just for fun's sakes and in case KP's kits end up being too expensive. It's completely doable (and a fun challenge)... Everything is cohesive too. Combine that with some Christmas stamps and a dormant album from your your shelves, you could theoretcally do it for free. It's the FOMO that really drives the business pattern and product numbers. Nothing more than that. Is there a blogger out there who year after year encourages their readers to come up with a free-of-extra-charges DD album? If so, hats off to them because it's a noble cause in a still shaky economy. It can quickly become super expensive to scrap.

It's the kind of thing Shimelle encourages, by means of her Journal your Christmas project , though she has been known to put together a kit for those who are looking for such a thing. sleepingbooty, you echo my thoughts and sentiments which I just shared in "the other" DD thread. What began as a simple, fun recording of four happy weeks is fast developing into an expensive, product-driven stress-fest which begins in mid-Summer. I'm all for buying a few glitzy bits to perk up my journal, but some of the album collections are becoming a bit excessive, I agree.

I'll happily bite the bullet for international shipping if subscribers get to pre-shop like for regular releases. I have to be at work on the 21st and don't want to miss out. kellypurkey, is the early shopping going to be an option? SaveSave

I'm just praying that KP's Christmas Spirits will be left at release so I can pick one up. If it sells out before release I will be very sad. I really want that one.

Did you guys get KP's newsletter e-mail? Kit members shop 2 hours early on the 21st, everyone else at 12pm EST. December Magic kit is $60 and Christmas Spirits is $26.50. Both ship for free to U.S. and discount for international. If you add other shop items, your shipping is adjusted, so be aware. There's also a free PDF with instructions for creating an album and will be sent by November 1st. Quantities are limited on kits and they won't re-stock.
