I have no shame, I totally picked up the Disney stamp and swag bag. Yes, the swag bag is overpriced, but damn, it looks fabulous and is absolutely things I cannot get anywhere else. I am very happy with how it looks. That stamp is adorable and very different then the ones I already have, and since I have a trip this year I am super happy to get it.
She has one more month left? I thought this was it? I wonder what her next swag bag will be?

Is it too late to subscribe? I know there are only 1 or 2 months left, but I wanted to buy the Mickey kit and a few other things. A small discount would help. I found the FAQ but don’t see anywhere to purchase a subscription? I think this is the last month for new kits. As of yesterday, she had 2 month subs available, but it would have been January's kit and the kit released today. I also think the swag bag is now sold out.

Not a subscriber but I did snatch up a couple of grab bags of 3x4 cards and a grab bag of alpha stickers. Shopping the clearance section and got the library stamp set (I'm a librarian and surprisingly don't have a set in my collection). I like the looks of her cards but shipping always stopped me. I made it worth my while taking into account that this will be the first and last order with her.

aj2hall Alas, no more subscriptions available. You could sign up for 2 months up until the 27th, that's it. You would then receive the January kit that was still available and the February kit released on the 28th. For the last month, no more subscription model, just the regular kit you can pick up from the shop although the TN one has already sold out. Skellinton Nah, you had it right all along: yesterday's release was the final one, nothing more to come, no more swag bags or kits. I agree with you on the swag bag aesthetics and need factor. I also agree with julie5 that it is seriously overpriced to the point of gasping for some air. But I've been waiting for a Disney park swag bag for so long, hoping her very last one would be it and it was it. I take full responsibility for paying such a premium price tag for it and do quietly side-eye Kelly for the obvious money grab. She knew her customers had been wanting one and she saved it for last. A cunning plan if not ethically questionable but I really just had to have it. She cornered us Disney fanatics right where she wanted us, sneaky thing... And no German flag colours colour scheme! No regrets but I totally think she charged a solid US$10 over what it's actually worth. mich5481 Thank you! Still loving this Culture collection but considering the price of the swag bag I'm going to pass... For now. Let's see how I feel when FOMO kicks in in a couple of weeks. I'll hit that "no more Kelly products!" panic level pretty soon, I'm sure. From what I remember, Kelly clearly announced February being the last release and the shop remaining open until April. My guess is that she'll do a "take X% off everything" in the shop sale in March before doing a close-out sale with the leftovers in early April or so.

I have an older Disney stamp or two that she created and had to get the Happiest Place stamp set too. I wish she had a 4x6 grab bag as I really miss her 4x6 cards in the monthly kits. I have enough of her 3x4 cards. Ahh, after I made the purchase I thought--an end of an era with the KP closing. She's who got me started with memory keeping. She's who got me into paper crafting as I'd only done digital scrapbooking before. It's always been her alphas that I've loved. I spent a bit more than I intended to but I am happy with my purchase. I didn't go for the Disney stuff as I've got quite a stash, including digital items, that I ought to be able to document our few trips there without it. I had to have the travel themed kit as I am constantly taking photos of the kids on the airplane when we travel. That stamp set is going to get a workout!

I'm so hoping for the X% off to get some other goodies in March that are on my list, but I don't want to pay even the subscription discount for. If I didn't have the 15% off there would be no way I would have gotten the Disney swag bag it's so expensive without a discount and with one haha. I own my splurge and I'm super happy with it. I am planning a first time solo day trip to Disneyland with my friends after I defend for my PhD this summer and a first time DisneyWorld trip with the family in Spring 2021 when my son turns 6. The products will get great use!!

Yes, I am excited to see how it also pairs with Tina’s travelogue set from last year that featured the airplane window too. It’s a fave!

I picked one thing from this release:
Happiest Place stamp set (HAD TO HAVE IT)
From the sale:
We are Family traveler’s notebook kit
That’s Bananas mini kit
Summer bucket list traveler’s notebook kit
Star Wars notebook (a gift for a coworker)
I love the main project kit this month and I *almost* pulled the trigger but I haven’t (yet).

We went without kids. I don't care how old you are - THAT is the way to go. 🤣 Ha! That is what we are doing this fall. I had a trip to WDW planned with some littles in our lives, but it got postponed for at least a year, I actually cried when I found out I was so disappointed. My husband totally shocked me when he said, “Why don’t we go by ourselves?” So, we are! He is not a huge DL person as it is “too peopley”, so I was so surprised, but he seems really excited. I cannot wait!

I cannot wait! Seriously you will love it! It’s a whole different experience when you go and do exactly what you want to do and no complaining, fights, attitude. Don’t feel like doing something? Then you don’t. Want to sleep in instead of being at the parks when they open? No one cares! We aren’t big DW people but we loved going by ourselves.

I've almost only ever done Disney sans kids and it's kind of bonkers fun. You get to do what you want to do, eat where you want to eat, drink alcohol, do your fave ride as many times in a row as you want, rest whenever you feel like it, etc. Enjoy! Disney magic knows no age limits and the parks are fully aware the segment of adult visitors without children is growing and has taken over the amount of adults with kids. TREAT. YO. SELF.

I must admit I am super excited about the eating aspect of it! Since we are both adults if he wants to eat at Bengal BBQ but I want a big old bread bowl of soup we can do it! No need to try to find one restaurant that 6 people want to eat at! We are going to eat at Blue Bayou and get reserved seats for Fantasmic and I will have to jog from ride to ride to burn off all the calories I am going to consume. I can ride the HMH 50 times if I want and I hope I do.

I had a Colombian woman tell us she was envious we were there by ourselves last December. We'd ended up with her in two different queues and she admitted in the second queue she'd noticed us and had started thinking about travelling back someday without kids because it looked like we were having a blast. No worries about burning calories if you plan on getting the most out of the rides, trust me! I try to get as many rides done when the park opens before the lines get crazy around noon and it's one hell of a workout. Your smartwatch/Fitbit is going to work overtime...

I don’t care who I go with, I would be happy to go by myself if it came down to it. I used to be able to go on a quick trip every other year, but haven’t gone in 5 years, I am feeling the withdrawal. I am still sad about not being able to go with the littles, but super excited my husband is going and seems excited too. He hasn’t been in about 15 years, so I imagine I might have to wait at least another 10 to get him to go again! I went with my cousin and nephew one time and when we were sitting waiting for a parade my cousin pointed out this older couple (at least 70+ years old) sitting across from us. The lady was grinning from ear to ear all decked out in Tinkerbell ears, Disney clothes and eating some cotton candy. She was obviously thrilled to be there. The gentleman next to her had a regular grandpa style golf polo on and was begrudgingly wearing Mickey Mouse ears, and he clearly wasn’t as happy to be there as the lady. My cousin said that was going to be my husband and I in 40 years. i can’t wait to see how much mileage I accrue over each day!! Thank you for sharing my excitement!!!

He had never been to Disneyland, although we have been to Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland. We had a great time and didn't miss the kids at all!

I went to DisneyWorld with my husband and another couple for NYE a few years back — none of us had kids at that point and it was super easy to power through the park and see all the stuff and ride everything we wanted to because we could get up early, push ourselves, hurry to get to the rides, etc. I, too, highly recommend it as an adult!

I received shipping notices for both of my orders March today. I have not. Is it typical for her to stagger out the shipping quite a bit? I’ve only ordered from her once before and the turnaround seemed quicker last time.
