One hour in and only one item sold out. I wonder if that's making them super nervous! I just honestly think that there have been too many product releases from her store. At least, that's how I feel. That said I don't even do December Daily and managed to spend 60 dollars lol! |

I like the typewriter font stamp (I'm always a sucker for them)...it makes me want to go buy myself a couple of Citrus Twist grab bags. Elle has her own version of one, but there hers is a sans serif font that she uses a lot...there is just something about a beautiful typewriter font that makes my heart go pitter patter. But not for $20.99 including shipping, lol.

I have yet to get a confirmation email, but the order is there in my account, so I'm happy (for now)

Got the main and extra page protectors in 3X8. I like the smaller boxes as well as the long ones. I use them in my 6X8 albums to change things up a bit.
Picked up the KP kit for $5 as I've been wanting those plastic sequins for years. I even tried to make my own but it was a bit of a fail.
I think the rest of that mini my kid will like.
I do hope they clean up all the question posts from the FB page. I had a question and I asked in chat. Answered really quickly. No issues with that or checkout.
I'm really excited for the kit. I looked over all the other stuff (don't stamp) and I feel like the main kit really covered what I wanted and will use. I'm attracted to some things but after doing this for a few years now, I know what I use and what I don't. I'm getting much better at shopping.
Can't wait for my preorders from ACOT to come in: crate paper and pinkfresh FTW.
Got just a little of each.

I am not loving kps sneaks at all. I'm just not into the bright modern vibe. If not for the title of the email and the name of the Bah Humbug kit (the others have already fallen out of my head) I wouldn't have known it was meant to be a Christmas release at all. If the Elle's kit ends up on sale again, I am more likely to pick it up at this point. The other companies I've seen doing sneaks are a lot better, but they are very blue and white and we don't have a snowy winter here, so those don't work for me. I really appreciate the companies working blues into their Christmas kits rather than them coming off solely as winter themed because it's about the only time I feel like I can use them and it be appropriate (the Gossamer Blue kit that was TN based a few years back is still one of my all time favorites...I would have picked it up at full price instead of buying 2 on sale if it were PL sized). |

This seems to be the big issue this year, according to the million people on the FB page. Some people are placing their orders again and finding out they both went through. Hope they don’t think they’ll get refunded. She made that pointedly clear. I was going to post that on the big FB thread, but decided it might be more fun to see how this all actually plays out. Plus, I wasn't really in the mood for all the handslappy replies that were sure to follow  |

Plus, I wasn't really in the mood for all the handslappy replies that were sure to follow I almost said that too. I just turned notifications on for that post instead. Like you couldn't wait the 10 minutes and then when Ali/Katie came on and told people the CC process was slow you just couldn't handle waiting an hour for things to clear up. Someone has 4 albums currently in their box. |

I drank the kool aid and I am happy. Main kit and red album (plus some bits) all bought in a smooth, problem-free transaction. Yay!
But ...
Does anyone remember the 2013 and 2014 kits that had lots of dimensional stuff in them like ribbons and pompoms and flair buttons and washi and chipboard alphabets. (I'd post pics but I don't know how to do that, sorry.)
I love the 2018 main kit and the colours, but it seems a little flat to me (one-dimensional).

I've only seen this level of crazy once before...in the 80's with Cabbage Patch Dolls |

I agree it's total FOMO.
I was a bit worried, but it's stuff. And honestly I don't need all of what I ordered. I did want those stupid stars. 😂
And people are already being told no refunds via CS. So Facebook group is going to get angry soon.

I don't like any of Kelly's sneaks. I am happy with my items from Ali.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Love the Holly Jolly sneaks. Those are the colors I love to see! The yellow there is still a dark yellow, but since it is paired with such nice bright colors it doesn’t look so somber. I think KP is going to have me in trouble. I'm loving Holly Jolly too. |

I put the two $5 mini kits in my box (the old ones) and got a sub total of $38. What the ever loving fuck?
ETA: once I logged in it fixed the price. But still, how to discourage shopping!

Yeah, anything on sale was showing as full price in your box until you checked out. I wonder how many sales she lost because people purged their boxes due to the totals? |

I had some shit that went down this morning so I didn't even hop on to look. Not much is sold out.
I see they still have that letterpress paper with the trees and snowbanks from 2-3 years ago — I loved and hoarded that piece but ended up using it last year.

After I placed a non DD order and received the error message, I waited about 20 minutes then reordered the same items again. The second time I received a confirmation. Over an hour after the first order I received a confirmation for the exact same 2 items. This is definitely an issue with her website. I hope she does right by the people who ended up with several orders.

So Facebook group is going to get angry soon. I just saw someone post that CS said no modifications...so I posted this. I couldn't take it anymore. I'll be banned "So clearly you missed the really sweet blog post with instructions on how to order...with the explicit bit of happy news that no duplicates or "errors" would be corrected. Doesn't matter that most errors are caused by website issues...that's beside the point. <sarcasm intended>" |

Chat is not though so don't waste the time with that option. |

Oh goodness while ordering and being on computer, turned on television and a shooter killed 3 people at a local bank in Cincinnati.

My order now shows duplicates of each item I ordered. Originally I ordered 2 items then placed another order for 2 items. Each order went through immediately. I never tried to submit another order due to FOMO or any other reason. There was no need to do that because I didn't care that much about the items and because my order went smoothly... Until 30 minutes later when an additional conformation email came for all 4 of the items I had ordered previously now bundled together in one additional order. Ugh! Drama free DD is not an option with Ali!  |
