Oh man, Kay. I’m so going to be broke with this haul of yours. But 1H30M, getting better! Your Saucy Stickers haul all looks so good and Ceda’s kits. I’m hoping when she has a sale I’ll have enough money to grab everything I want. 😂 I’m happy that I can somewhat influence you to buy stickers. Hahaha…
I think the things that we have similar taste in, it's probably already in my cart. But the way you've been using fashion girls in your spreads recently is making me take a second look at those sheets now.
When was Starlight Paper Studio opened last? I kept checking and been hoping it to open again! I do miss the designs and shop. I know Pretty Pink Co takes a little longer to process BUT I have to imagine they have high volume orders, a high amount of available product to purchase in the website and they very obviously put out stellar quality product. Plus, they have customers like me - who order about $300 worth at a time! Lol Also I have run into long ship times at Starlight Paper Studio and MyNewestAddiction and many other shops, but am just happy for it to come whenever. So I accept longer ship times - especially during sales. But then again, I keep a good inventory of kits each year so I don't depend on it to use in a short timeframe. I give any shop that meets my esthetic a huge pass.😊 I had a large order from Saucy Stickers Co because you shared that Celebration kit and had to have it. I did pick up the winter kit too. Ink Paper Plans has a beautiful dark blue winter kit I have to have, too. Kind of similar to Letters To Apollo winter dark kit. (I will probably get both.)
Starlight was last opened in August. I spoke to her around that time about her new job and whatnot. But I can imagine that trying to juggle a new job and teaching your family to help the shop would be difficult, so I haven’t reached out to her since. I don’t wanna bother her too much. I hope she opens up again soon too! I am holding out for a winter kit from her. RE: the pretty pink co. For sure that the huge influx of orders was a factor. I guess the reason I felt the need to say something is that it’s not just me experiencing shipping issues. I just wish there was more transparency about the long lead time, which I guess I didn’t articulate very well. And I am working on only ordering kits when I plan to use them soonish, so that’s a factor for me too. But your comment is making me think about it some more and I feel like TPPC kinda grew really fast in a short amount of time, so I’m kinda comparing them to shops that already have it mostly together. I guess I just hope that they learn how to manage this new work flow. I know that Kristine talked to the shop recently and that they’re looking at other shipping options to help mitigate these issues. So fingers crossed because I really do enjoy a lot of their stuff. Dude, if that Enchanted Celebrations kit got me, I had to make sure it got other people. It’s too gorgeous of a kit to not get. I even changed my line up for it. I told myself to wait for that LTA City Sparkle kit, like get it later. But the next thing I knew, I completed my order. It’s so pretty. It need to use another Ink Paper Plan kit. I’ll check that kit out.
@phamerina.planning yeah I hear ya. But I have always looked at sticker makers as pretty custom fare, in reality. Not many keep inventory and seem to print on-demand. Depends on shop, and probably item. I have to imagine when I request holographic anything, they kind of sigh and roll their eyes... 😆 The IPP kit is titled 'Serene'. I forgot to say how much fun it is to watch the long haul! 🎉 Living vicariously through others is enjoyable.
Thanks for your thoughts though!! I really appreciate it and it does remind me to be a little more thoughtful. I am so sad I don't have a holo kit for this last quarter. I need two in Q1 to compensate haha. And I totally get what you mean, I usually watch a haul when I'm feeling spendy so I can get the high of looking at "new" stickers without doing it myself.

@ i think I’ve bought all of TPPC fashion girls from her recent release.
@@itsjustkristine490 they were so good though.
