NEWSFLASH!

We hear you. We really, really do. And it brings me great joy to share this with you. Based on the overwhelming demand, we are bringing back my School Years kit! I WANT you to have this. I want your friends and sisters and in-laws and kids’ teachers and neighbors to have this kit. I see it as a big, BIG solution in so many ways.

We anticipate the next shipment of the kits will be available before summer. Please stay tuned here on my blog (or the KOTM site) in the coming days for further announcements regarding this offering. We are working out the details and will release them as they become available.

I will soon be sharing completed pages & another video clip because I want to share more ideas about how to make this kit work for you when you get it.

Oh – and one more bit of happy news: I’m going to be doing more kits with the KOTM program, tentatively on a quarterly basis this year. I can’t wait to share them with you!

First of all, I will come back to the school years kit soon. I will share completed pages and address your questions … soon.

But for now …

Tune into QVC TODAY. It’s a big day, with lots of scrapbooking & paper crafting stuff you have to see. Are your pre-schoolers hogging the tv with Dora the Explorer? Are you at work with no TV accessible? No problem. This is my favorite part: You can watch QVC live … right now. Just go to qvc.com. Click on the “watch live tv” button on the left.

Among lots of other fun things, Lisa Bearnson is selling a kit called “CKU in a Box”. The kit includes everything you need for 3 different projects. I designed a card kit for this project. Lisa Bearnson and Tracy White were also involved. Definitely worth checking out. We worked together to create a 90-minute instructional DVD as well. We wanted to bring the CKU experience right to your living room. If you go to Lisa’s site you can watch a short video right now.

I believe the CKU in a Box will air sometime between 10am – 2pm EST.

You can click here to see the kit on QVC’s site and actually place an order any time. The item number is F03404. You can click here to see all the details of the kit on Lisa’s site.

Woah – lots of blog posting in one day, I know. Just want to stay in touch with you guys. Let’s take care of some business first.

Should anyone experience customer service issues at any time, I wish I could help you individually, but I’m really useless. So e-mailing me will not get you very far. However, this is what you can do: If you have ordered the school kit and you need someone to look at your order, call 888.247.5282. If you have a general comment, question, or you’re missing a piece or something, you can e-mail Vivian at the CK office: vgrothe@ckmedia.com

Now … I know some of you missed the chance to buy the kit. Trust me when I say we honestly did not expect them to sell out so quickly. We’re all surprised (and delighted, of course) but that doesn’t help those of you who couldn’t get it. Trust me – we all wish we could have been able to predict the demand for this product.

You know that my blog is the place to come for any & all updates on any projects I’m involved in. I WILL keep you posted.

Now go on. Get off your computer and have a GREAT weekend! : )

1. It’s 2:30 pm MST and only 10% of the kits are left. Edited: We are now sold out. Wow – thank you! We ordered a lot of these kits, expecting that they would go quickly but these went way faster than we ever imagined!

2. There was a typo in the content list on the KOTM site earlier, so for those who might still be concerned, please note that the clear memorabilia pockets are PPC = polyproplyene, not PVC. It’s the same material as Cropper Hopper and other similar products.

3. The pages and page protectors and memorabilia pockets are designed for the standard 12″ x 12″ size.

4. The page protectors are designed for 3-ring 12″ x 12″ binders.

5. The design is totally gender neutral. It’s not “feminine” or “masculine”. Just fun.

Just so you know …

We are 3 hours into the launch of the school kit and 50% sold. Remember: When they’re gone, they really are gone.

I know there are a few questions floating around and I will be posting again soon with answers.

Added note: There was a glitch on the kotm website. For those of you who recently went there to order and saw “sold out”, that is NOT true. As of right now (12:40 pm MST), there are still 45% left.

I am pleased to share with you a look at the contents of the brand-new kit of the month. It’s available now! Click here for more information and ordering.
