However, please note, that this link will NOT work until I open the cart. At the time of the opening, you'll need to click that link again to be sent to the correct ordering page.<\/p>\n\n\t<h4>Why only 1000 spots?<\/h4>\n<p>So, to be honest, I initially thought 1000 was <i><b>more<\/b><\/i> than enough. From the response we've gotten so far, I can see that this Christmas Club might be a little more popular than I was expecting.<\/p>\n\n<p>In order to get enough fabric for a <i><b>whole lotta kits,<\/b><\/i> I had to order about a year in advance. This is especially true with holiday fabrics, which are typically only introduced once a year by the fabric manufacturers I love most.<\/p>\n<p>When the idea for the Christmas Club came about, I realized I would need to order fabric and other supplies, for an entire year's worth of kits up front.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to do this for 1000 kits this first year, and slowly add on each year after. My plan is to hopefully add another 500 spots in November, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\t<h4>Will this really be Christmas all year?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, indeed!<\/p>\n\t<h4>What patterns will be used?<\/h4>\n<p>One of the things that has been bugging me for <i>awhile<\/i>, is that each month, we introduce an amazing brand new pattern <i>(and that is awesome<\/i>)&#8230; but then it goes into the vault, and we rarely get a chance to re-visit it.<\/p>\n\n<p>With our brand new <b>Christmas Club Kits<\/b>, we'll be going back through our treasure trove of patterns&#8230; but with beautiful Christmas fabrics and embellishments every single month.<\/p>\n\t<h4>Will the new Christmas Club have any NEW patterns?<\/h4>\n<p>No, not brand new. We will use existing patterns, and occasionally variations.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, our current OG Club is more focused on new patterns each month&#8230; and this new Christmas Club will be more about kits. I can't begin to count the number of times I send an ornament picture in Inspire emails <i>(using one of our existing patterns)<\/i>, and we get replies asking if we can please make a kit for it.<\/p>\n<p>We have so many amazing patterns and it's going to be so fun to use them in new ways, with beautiful Christmas materials.<\/p>\n\t<h4>Will there be a digital-only option?<\/h4>\n<p>No, not at this time. We will be basing these kits off of our existing collection of beautiful patterns, and so it doesn't make sense to offer a digital-only option for this club.<\/p>\n<p>If you're interested in getting a new pattern each month, I'd recommend sticking with our current Digital Ornament Girls Club.<\/p>\n\t<h4>Will there be an international shipping option?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>A word of warning though<\/strong><\/em>&#8230; shipping costs have increased astronomically over the last year, and especially for packages going outside the United States. I'm sorry in advance for this.<\/p>\n\t<h4>What will I receive?<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>A complete kit<\/b>, with fabric, foam, pins, and embellishments, to make each month's Christmas ornament.<\/li>\n<li><b>A full-length video tutorial<\/b>, showing you how to make your ornament, plus any extra digital content we may add from time to time<i> (you know how we love giving you extras!)<\/i><\/li>\n<li><b><i>JUST ADDED: <\/i>A numbered hang tag for your ornament! <\/b>November's ornament is #1!<\/li>\n<li>Access to our private <b>Ornament Girls Facebook Group.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h4>Which Club is better for me?<\/h4>\n<p>Our current Ornament Girls Club is heavily focused on learning a new pattern every single month.<\/p>\n<p>The new Christmas Club will be a chance to re-visit many of those patterns, to make a Christmas-themed ornament every month.<\/p>\n<p>The Christmas Club will not be for everyone, but if you want more Christmas&#8230;. and if you would love the chance to practice some of our amazing patterns&#8230; and if you love getting a kit with ALL the things&#8230; pre-cut and ready to go.. then you will LOVE the Christmas Club.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Christmas Club will be open to everyone. However, I'm going to open it up to current OG Members first.<\/p>\n\n<p>I can't guarantee you a spot in the Christmas Club&#8230; however, if you join, we will gladly cancel your current membership at your request.<\/p>\n\n<p>Of course!<\/p>\n\n<p>Not at this time. I'm sorry.<\/p>\n\t<h4>What is the cost?<\/h4>\n<p>The Introductory Price will be $27\/month. This price INCLUDES shipping.<\/p>\n\t<h4>I'm ready to join! Where do I sign up?<\/h4>\n<p>I know, I'm so excited too! It's been killing me to wait so long to tell you about this!<\/p>\n<h3>Opening Day is Saturday, October 24th.<\/h3>\n<p>Our first kit will be shipped November 2020.<\/p>\n<p>We already have our first year of kits planned, based on 1000 spots for the year. Since we came up a tiny bit short of 1000 kits for November, I'll have a small handful of spots available in December to get us up to 1000.<\/p>\n\n<p>This will be an ongoing subscription club, but you will always be able to cancel any time (just like our Ornament Girls Club).<\/p>\n<p><b>I'll be sending an email ahead of time with a link to join.<\/b> However, please note, that this link will NOT work until I open the cart.
