I received my stamp set and extras, but not my main kit. Hopefully it arrives this week.

I didn’t buy extras, just my regular sub. My package is scheduled for delivery on Friday.

I am a subscriber and it still says pre-shipment phase ugh Mine too. It makes me so nervous, because I was one of customers that had a hard time reaching out to customer service about my missing Black Friday order that never went beyond preshipmemt.

My package has entered the UPS system: "Your item departed our USPS facility in PORTLAND, OR 97215 on March 11, 2020 at 12:17 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination."
My order list indicates the same tracking number for both my sub + extras so I assume everything got packed together. Fingers crossed it sails through customs sans extra money to pay (I'm happy to pay for taxes, not happy with the extremely expensive "administrative fee" to collect them which always exceeds the actual taxes by A LOT).
Anybody found/posted a photo of the Disney swag bag? I looked on IG but couldn't find anything, alas.
Do we think Kelly might go for a sale around the 28th, to coincide with her usual monthly release date?

I'll send you one when I get it on Friday, although it could be Saturday with the way USPS is running lately. I am hoping she has a final sale on the 28th.

Looking forward to getting a view of all the (esssspensive) cuteness before I can tear into my package... The impatience is real.

Received all my goodies and read the shop closing note enclosed (on the back of the marketing card), it seems like we'll see more of Kelly's work in the future as she'll be making an announcement this year. "Though the Kelly Purkey Shop is closing, I have started putting pieces into place for the future - which you'll hopefully be excited about as well! Please stay tuned for more details later this year and the best way for us to keep in touch is through my newsletter."

The Disney swag bag was overpriced which most of us agreed on--but, everything is super cute and well thought out, so I have no regrets. I wouldn't spend the time making any of it on my own, so buying it was a must!

Given the issues that people have had for months getting their orders on time, I hope that she waits on a sale. More than a month and a half after the release to ensure all the previous orders were filled properly. Current orders should be more important than getting her shop closed. PS I don't have an outstanding order. (I only buy digital from her.) I just think she should end on a good note.

I think guest designing will be good for her - gives her a chance to create kits without the worrying about logistics and other business hassles. Just as long as she doesn't go back to designing for SC or AE!

I got my "extras" today, but not my monthly kit. Odd. I received the rest of my order today.

Received my sub + order today. sleepingbooty I sent the photo to you via IG to your Disney account. Thank you so, so much! Such a welcome sight during these dreary days of being stuck at home due to the very rapid spread of the coronavirus in my region. Love-love-LOVE the neutral B-sides for the cards. Can't wait to get my package... I sent you some videos from the live Frozen Musical Celebration we have at Disneyland Paris. Hope they're showing up properly in the discussion.

Just as long as she doesn't go back to designing for SC or AE! FYC collabs make the most sense but if Inked managed to snap her up (no, they didn't, this is just fantasy talk) to create a new Inked brand, IMAGINE THE MADNESS! It would be the collapse of SC. But it'd be the scrap surprise (and success) of the year.

More than a month and a half after the release to ensure all the previous orders were filled properly. Current orders should be more important than getting her shop closed. Shop is closing in April. I don't see there being enough time to wait six weeks from February 28 to hold her clear-out sale. I really hope all the missing and unfulfilled orders get sorted very quickly. Pretty discouraging to see people leaving comments on her shop's IG account posts to try and get feedback from CS.

But it'd be the scrap surprise (and success) of the year. An Inked + KP brand similar to AE's would be amazing. BUT I don't see it happening... I think if that was the plan she would've been transitioning to that behind the scenes and her site would flip to an Inked site, etc., rather than shutting down entirely. But maybe that is the plan and she just wanted an extended break inbetween, like 6 months off or something? I'm not going to hold my breath...
Realistically, I think she will collab with FYC occasionally and will design a DD mini kit for AE again. Beyond that I see her switching gears completely, probably something travel related. She had wanted to do a travel blog but never got it off the ground... she'd be good at it if she could be consistent.
I really hope the break from forced creativity with monthly releases brings back her interest in creating her own personal projects and sharing them. I LOVE her project life style and miss her process videos.
We'll see...

With the virus if she was going to do something travel related, that's going to have to wait. I don't see her doing that though cos she describes herself as being an introvert and was never consistent with either her website or IG...I would think that's the opposite of what she'd want to do. But who knows. I would love to see her work with Elise. Hope hope its not with SC.

I just don't see Inked ready to put SC in a coffin. That would happen if they got hold of the KP brand. KP is too direct of a competitor: she's not into storytelling like Ali, she's pure PL + travel documenting. But my Zeus, talk about a genius deal in current scrapbooking! I'd also happily see KP go back to the occasional scrapbook line collab like Geralyn is doing with Pinkfresh Studio. Her Basic Grey was very nice.

KP's latest newsletter was informative: her annual birthday sale on March 23rd is still happening, yay! She warns that once stuff is sold out, it's gone. On the 28th, she'll be doing a massive digital release of all or close to all of her Kelly Purkey Shop products over the years!
