On Sunday night, I listed 320 of the November Ornament Kit, and late the next morning, the last one was sold.

I’m still in shock that they sold out. I’d actually thought I’d made too many!

So, the Kit of the Month idea seems to be a smashing success, but a couple of issues did come up.

Part of the issues were technical. My shopping cart decided that if you didn’t live in the United States, you should be charged like a zillion dollars to have it shipped. EEK! This was my first time adding worldwide shipping to my cart, and I obviously need to figure out what I did wrong in my settings. Embarrassing!

The main issue though, is that some of you who wanted a kit still didn’t get one.

I have to tell you, that this completely blows me away.

(I’ve been getting some hate mail since yesterday – I really hate, hate mail :( )

I am still shipping out these kits, and I probably will be for the next 2 days. After that, I will see if I can do a few more kits next week (a few! and no promises)…. but my main focus by the end of this week is to start planning for December’s kit.

Now, about that….

I’ve received many emails, comments, and Facebook messages asking me if I could start a “club”…. a membership sort of thing, so that you didn’t have to worry about purchasing every kit each month, at the right time, before they sold out.

At first, I was not giving this too much thought. Now, though, after getting the request so many times… it is making more and more sense to me.

So, I’m working out the details on how I will set it up, but in the next week or so, I will be posting more info about my new “Kit of the Month Club”, where members will automatically receive each new kit – no waiting in line, no possibility of missing out, and the guaranteed arrival of your new kit each month. (yay!)

Will you HAVE to be a member to get a Kit of the Month?

No. I will offer them each month in my shop, too. But members will get a fixed, lower price, and be guaranteed their delivery each month.

I will post more details soon! I need to finish getting these November kits out the door to you (I can’t wait for you to get them and make them!)… but if you would, will you let me know in the comments below if you’d be interested in the Club idea? I’d LOVE to get an idea of how many people are interested.

UPDATE!

Click HERE for more info on the club membership. It opens Tuesday, Dec 1 at 10 am (EST) for 48 hours only!

    I would love to get into your club. I do this with several other groups and I like to be assured I will get the item each month. I am not always by my computer when it goes on sale and I do not want to miss out. Thanks PS I would never send a hate email; but would send one that I was disappointed if I missed out.

    Would love to get a chance to be in the Ornament Club, I’m new to making these but I know I can do it!

    I thought we were supposed to get an advance email telling us the kits were ready. I didn’t get one. Love your ornaments!!! I’m in Sarasota and will be happy to drive down to get one. Let me know!

      Oh no, I’m sorry! I did send the email out. Sometimes they get caught by spam filters, though. I will be doing things a little differently for the December kit, since there were some issues for November with people missing out. I will post more details on that soon. I am so sorry again that you missed the November kit, Paula! :(

    Just finished my November ornament and I think it turned out pretty good for my first time? Your directions are very easy to follow and now I am preparing to do another in a different color scheme…red, and a green one.

  10. Michelle on November 24, 2015 at 9:48 pm

    I almost forgot….sign me up for the monthly club as well!!!!

  11. Karen Mullins on November 25, 2015 at 7:56 am

    Hi Staci Ann, I would be interested in the ornament of the month club, depending on price. Since I adopted my granddaughter in February, extra cash is at a premium. So if you let us know how much, I will know for sure if I can swing it. Thanks so much!!!

    I really like the idea of a kit of the month program and I will definitely participate in it! I do the same kind of monthly project program with a couple of quilting sites and I think it’s great to have this as an option. Thanks!

    I too would like to know the procedure for buying one of your kits. Please let me know as I do not want to miss out on Dec ornament.
