I gotta say, when I saw you bought the August 2017 Messy Box I kept eyeing it until I finally bit the bullet.

Well today I ordered two more ledger pads and 2 more happy mails, I justified it because my daughter just left for college. I got a French fry card in one of my kits today and fries are her thing so I decided I needed more happy mail kits to send her cards throughout her first year. no regrets.

Is it time for confession again? Ugh. I snuck in a final order with (yet) another account. Got one more MB (January 2016 because those giant alphas kept pulling me in) and a HM. And the "Keep the change, ya filthy animal!" gold foil art print. Because I'm a child of the 1990s. And at $4 with no extra shipping, I couldn't resist. I'm such a weak thing. How many Hail Messy's to pray myself out of this crafty sinner spot?

sleepingbooty Ummm....why have I never ordered before? I got my 2 boxes today and I LOVE the kits!! This sounds weird but the kits are SO MUCH better in person than how they represent them online. Seriously. I even ordered a HM kit and the cards are so stinking cute! I am going to use them as a base and embellish them. What was that? Place another order you say? Don't mind if I do!

You enablers! 5 MB's including the August 2017 for $30 plus change including shipping. Might help me get over GB shutting down (though I do have some happy mail from their sale on the way too). Thanks for the FREEKIT code!

julie5 The 9x12 ledger pads are now sold out. I placed another order tonight and went to look and see what those look like (they looked completely awesome) but sold out. I wish I would have looked at them and read the description the first time I ordered because I just thought it was a plain old ledger pad. The papers remind me so much of the old Scenic Route notebook-looking papers. Loved them!

They are kind of wonderful, aren't they? There isn't a lot in those boxes BUT what's in there is really fun. Which kits did you get if I may ask? That January 2016 MB jumped into my cart after I saw your post. I am a sucker for large alphas. Woops. How are you not paying extra shipping? I keep adding kits to my basket and it wants to charge me like $13 shipping for one kit I'm getting extravagant international shipping quotes for the kits too! I'm at around $13 for two kits. I meant no extra shipping for the art print (which is a welcome relief with Inked's savage shipping cost ways)!

myboysnme I recently used some cards and chipboard from the August 2016 kit to document a road trip. "More snacks, please." It works really well with photos from the road.

I actually just pulled it out yesterday and used some of the letters!

I'm such a nerd, I compiled a list of what I got and what I paid. 13 kits at an average of 3.07 per kit. I do love me some math! Lol

I placed my order around 10 pm last night and just found an email saying it has been shipped. Why does this make me nervous about exactly WHAT is in the shipment? ? But I will think positively and hope that everything (5 MBs) I ordered will be there.

I went back for a second order - June MB 2015 and March MB 2016 - and it wants $8 shipping on a $4 order. Thanks Inked, lol. Now to decide whether or not to add anything else OR just skip my second order. I got December MB 2016, November MB 2016, September MB 2015, and January MB 2016 in my first order. Decisions.

March 2016 (they don't show how gorgeous the iridescent items really are!!) The holographic cards (and flairs) are really nice (and can be used with pretty much anything you have in your stash)! It was one of the first times I saw holographic foil being used in scrapbooking too. Got this kit twice at a previous sale because Inked can't fill orders properly but I'm glad they got it wrong! Mega heart eyes. Glad to hear the big January 2016 alpha set is hoardable level kind of nice! I kept being drawn to it...

I tried to stay strong, I really did. But since it's the last day and all. I ordered 7 kits and the acrylic dividers for $35 shipped. First time I've ever tried them.

I just received my kits yesterday and was surprised to find they looked better than what was shown in the photos. The colors looked more vibrant and the quality looks good. I wouldn't have paid full price for them (seem a bit thin) but this was a great deal.

Glad to hear you're liking them! I've always thought Messy Box was a fun and interesting product despite its obvious small size. They're a great fit in my albums. Have fun using your new MBs.

I wouldn't have paid full price for them (seem a bit thin) but this was a great deal. I agree, not worth full price but definitely worth what we paid! They weren't very consistent across the months, in regards to amount of product they were hit and miss. I think this was a real missed opportunity by ABM and SC. These kits did have a uniqueness about them and the quality was good. But no one really promoted them and the photos were horrible, often not showing the full contents. I liked them way better than Ali's kits. I'm glad I grabbed so much.

It's too bad ABM/SC didn't market them better. I'm like the unique design vibe in the cards/papers. The online photos really don't do them justice! Going off to play right now...

I subbed for a year starting with the June 2015 kit which was awesome but month by month the content got smaller and by the end I couldn't wait to cancel as I felt totally ripped off
