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 really be interested in a kit of the month also. Please send details. I love your ornaments.

  2. judy logan on November 17, 2015 at 8:26 pm

    Could I please just buy the instruction how to make the November ornament or all of them. Please let me know!

  3. Debbie on November 17, 2015 at 8:47 pm

    YES! Very interested in the Ornament of the Month Club! Can’t wait for the information!

  4. Carol Dice on November 17, 2015 at 8:56 pm

    Staci – I love the idea of a monthly ornament kit club. The people that have sent you hate mail need to CHILL OUT, as you let everyone know there was a limited supply. Don’t let the few that sent you hate mail discourage you. Your kits and instructions are GREAT. Can hardly wait for my belated birthday gift to arrive. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, hope you have a great one. Carol. ??

  5. Teresa Havens on November 17, 2015 at 9:05 pm

    Love the idea of a kit club! I’m very interested and excited to get my Nov. Kit!!

  6. Julie Owens on November 17, 2015 at 9:07 pm

    The membership idea is great, and I would love to be a member of the club too.

    Thanks,

    Julie

  7. Vicki Merivale on November 17, 2015 at 9:09 pm

    Yes, I live in Australia and I hope the postage will not out-weight the cost of the kit, but I am very interested in joining your kit of the month club.

  8. Mary Morrow on November 17, 2015 at 9:14 pm

    Please add me to the Club looking forward to it.

  9. Carole on November 17, 2015 at 9:20 pm

  10. Bonnie Mandel on November 17, 2015 at 9:25 pm

    Very much interested in Kit of the Month….very much like Block of the Month in my quilting circles/shops. Great idea. Can’t wait to hear the details.

  11. shawn martin on November 17, 2015 at 9:33 pm

  13. Jalane Terhune on November 17, 2015 at 9:43 pm

    Staci, I definitely would love to be in the ornament monthly club…..would really save on having to watch the clock and remember to order on time. Good Idea!!!!!

  14. Susie Shaw on November 17, 2015 at 9:55 pm

  16. Pam on November 17, 2015 at 10:09 pm

    Sign me up for kit of the month. What a great idea. I missed out on the November one but looking forward to December. Thank you for sharing your talent.

  17. Angela Maneth on November 17, 2015 at 10:34 pm

    Staci, I think a club would be a great idea, take some of the uncertainty out of it for you. As for the hate mail, that should be ignored. If they were in business, they should hope to sell out too. That is the whole idea….to have a great product that everyone wants and spreads the word for you! Angie

  18. Chris Olszewski on November 17, 2015 at 10:37 pm

    I think the membership is a great idea….please add me to your list. I would love to purchase your ornament kits.

    I am interested in the kit of the month. Are you going to make anymore November kits, please.

  34. Chris Haney on November 18, 2015 at 6:24 pm

    you could also add “While quantities last”
    or 320 kits available
    just a thought

    • Staci Ann Lowry on November 18, 2015 at 8:41 pm

      Yup, that’s what I did. :) The quantity was listed, and ticked down as they were purchased, and I wrote “first come, first serve.” :)

  35. Sherry on November 18, 2015 at 7:26 pm

    I am interested. Please send details.

  36. Karen Pieri on November 18, 2015 at 8:14 pm

    People, people! There’s no need to send our ornament girl hate mail, or be mad at her, she’s trying, sit back, and enjoys her ideas. Happy Thanksgiving, and Merry Christmas too all!!

  37. Jeana on November 18, 2015 at 9:37 pm
