Help me decide.
I love the embellishments but I don't stamp. There was a pea buying them from me every month but she disappeared off the face of the planet and internets.
So now I have a pile of stamps.
There's also 1 or 2 things every month where I'm like, meh....
But for the most part, there's some good stuff in there.
It's hard to decide. I always thought I could sell what I don't use but that's been harder than I expected. It's not like I'm going broke but stuff is piling up and maybe I'm getting overwhelmed or maybe the last kits haven't been a good fit for me...
What do you think?

I would. Why spend money on stuff you will never use? But I'm getting more ruthless with my scrapbook spending. I use to buy a lot of stuff just because. But I really question my purchases now.

I think I am leaning toward it. I like she has been including more alphabets though.

I love her stuff, too, but I really wish she had a "no stamp" option.

I agree - I would subscribe in a heartbeat if there were a no-stamp option, but I can't justify spending that money every month when I know a fairly large portion of it is going to a stamp I'll never use. The kits sure are cute though!

Some of those stamps are cute! Have you posted on FSOT? Where are you trying to sell them?

I have a kit subscription too and I'm thinking that I might not continue with it for the same reasons as you. I don't stamp very much so the stamps aren't really worth it to me but the embellishments are so cute and they can't be bought anywhere else. I might just cancel the subscription and buy a kit here and there (I'll end up paying $5.00 more per kit but I'll probably save $ in the long run).

I subbed to the FF kit from the first month through until May. I really disliked the colours and most of the kit for June, so I cancelled and started Scraptastic instead. I LOVED most of what was in the FF kits, but after awhile I started to feel as though a lot of it might work better for PL which I don't do, and don't plan to do. I also started to feel as though some of the things were getting repetitive. I don't need metal clips EVERY month (again maybe better for PL). I might use a couple here and there, but I don't need so many. I actually liked most of the stamps when they started, but a couple of sets didn't appeal to me much either (January, April, June...). I AM a stamper, but I don't always love their stamps. That is something I like about Scraptastic, the stamps are an option, if I like them, I buy them, if I don't I don't have to! I have a kit subscription too and I'm thinking that I might not continue with it for the same reasons as you. I don't stamp very much so the stamps aren't really worth it to me but the embellishments are so cute and they can't be bought anywhere else. I might just cancel the subscription and buy a kit here and there (I'll end up paying $5.00 more per kit but I'll probably save $ in the long run). These is my thoughts...especially if I can purchase a couple of kits I like at a time (shipping to Australia is pricey and takes forever). I think her embellishments are gorgeous, and generally high quality, but I think I might pick and choose rater than get them all. Usually she doesn't sell out of them right away, so this would be a safe bet. |

A no stamp option would be the best. It was easy to sell them on 2peas but then got annoying dealing with the buyer who was intermittent with communication then disappeared altogether. I think I will cancel. I don't think it's worth the $5 I'm saving. I'm definitely not saving enough. I haven't bought from the subscriber-only shop in ages because there's nothing I need and there hasn't been anything at all in the section that is for subscribers only but is stuff that's not in the kit.
I do like next month so I'll give it one more shot. And I will keep paying attention to the sneaks. I might get one every once in a while.

By next month, you'll be up to 50 posts and can try the FSOT board out. Maybe you can find other buyers.

I started the Oh Deer Me kit from the first month but canceled in May as well. I only ended up liking about 1/2 the items in each kit each month and didn't like December's kit at all.

I was considering the kit for a while but just don't think I'd be able to use enough of the items to make it worthwhile. I guess I could sub for a few months to build up a stash, but I prefer the idea of just busying stuff that I really want from time to time.

Next month looks good so I'll stick with it at least another month.
And I will definitely try out FSOT here once I get enough posts. It might take more than a month though!

There are a few FSOT groups on Facebook also. I've been able to sell the stamps I don't want on within a day or 2 of posting them. That helps keep me subbing.

Would you mind telling me the names of those if it's not against the rules?

I don't think I'm ever going to get to 50 posts either and I have several stamp sets that I want to pass along to someone else who wants them.
