The Brads Are Here, Presale Extended until Oct. 1st!

I've picked up the brads! Take a look:


It's not the best picture in the world, but you can see them all. I'm still holding the presale for 10% off until October 1st. We hope to open our website by then. At that point, you can purchase individual colors to replenish your sets. I'm going to start counting the eyelets tonight and get them shipped out next week, hopefully Monday. This counting process won't take as long because I'm not counting them all, just enough to fill the paid orders.

I'm so excited!!

Don't forget to make a guess in our contest!

Great News and Contest!!

I received notification today that the brads have cleared customs. I will be able to pick them up on Monday from the warehouse. I expect it to take a week to count enough to send out the preorders and get them all shipped. I will post a photo tomorrow (providing I can find the camera, card reader, and computer all at the same time) of the samples I received from the manufacturer.

I'm so excited to see these brads I can't put it into words!

So, here's another contest: Send me an e-mail, PM on SCS, or comment on this post your guess of the weight of the brads. I ordered 33,000 brads of each color and 66,000 black ones. I just did the math, and that means I ordered 1,980,000 brads!!! Yikes!

Anyway, whoever guesses the closest to the weight of the brads and packaging will receive a free gift from me. You have until September 15th to send me your guess. Here's a little hint: The brads are coming to me in 7 different cartons....have fun guessing! LOL

I'm Baaaaack!! Finally!! Brad presale extended!

Whew!! It's been an adventure with getting internet hooked up at our new house. We were supposed to have it hooked up nearly a week ago, but I just got it as of a few minutes ago. I wanted to post here first to reassure everyone who is waiting for a return e-mail from me that I will be working my way through the e-mails tonight and tomorrow until I have responded to everyone.

As a result of this interruption I am extending my brad presale for 1 week. See my other post about my brads and take advantage of the 10% off presale offer.

Thanks in advance for your patience!!

Eyelet Share

With my brads presale, lots of people have been interested in my eyelets as well. I have an eyelet share in the same colors as my brad share. The eyelet share includes:

• 3,000 eyelets
• 50 each of 48 colors
• 50 each of 6 "fresh" colors
• 50 each of 4 neutral colors
• 100 black
• $40 full share ($42 PayPal)
• $23 1/2 share ($24 PayPal)

I still have some left and I can always order more. The ordering time will not be as long as the last one, I can get them here within a week this time.

Internet Interrupted!!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that it may take me 24 hours or more to answer e-mail inquiries. As many of you know, we're in the middle of a move to a country home and it's a long wait for satellite internet to get hooked up. Until September 1st, we will have limited access (I have to drive to our old home to connect) to the internet.

If you're patient, I will get to your mail. If you don't hear from me in 3 days after your initial inquiry, feel free to send me another, just in case!!

Just a Quick Note

I forgot to include the address of my new site in my previous post. It's found at www.pinkhedgehogpapercrafts.com. It's not yet open for business, but you can take a peek. I've got a few more ribbons to photograph and get put up and then I can open.

I'd also like to thank my talented and brilliant hubby for building my site for me. Isn't he great!!??

Thanks everyone for your inquiries!!

Custom Colored Brads Presale!

I have had tons of inquiries into doing custom colors of brads just like my eyelets.

Well, the time has come. I ordered brads a couple of months ago from a manufacturer in Taiwan. They are literally on a slow boat from China (ha ha) and I just received notification that they arrived in a US port.

Many of you know that I'm starting a new website centered around bulk buys. I will be selling all of the ribbons I've sold in the past on my blog and other shares on SCS, plus many new ribbons, and we will add new products every month as our business grows. You will be able to get bulk pricing on many kinds of ribbons, plus custom colored eyelets, brads, and more. To start with, I'll have the standard round eyelets and mini brads. You'll be able to purchase brads and eyelets in sets, just like my shares or in larger quantities of individual colors for large projects.

So, in honor of the occasion and to feed the frenzied stampers who long for them, I'm having a special preorder sale on my brads.

Just as with my eyelets, you will receive 3,000 brads in 59 colors. You'll get 50 each of 48 colors, 6 "in" colors, and 5 neutral colors, plus 100 black brads. A 1/2 share will be 1/2 the amount of each color (25).

The normal price on my website for a full share is $75, and a 1/2 share is $40. If you do the math, this means the price per brad for a full share is $.025! That is 1/2 the cost of other sellers for a unique product not available anywhere else.

From now until September 7th, you will receive a 10% discount on the price of either share. The Full share will have a sale price of $67.50 and the 1/2 share is $36. In order to qualify for the discount, you must order and pay by September 7th. This will also put you at the top of the shipping list for my brads. As soon as they're in and counted, you'll get your brads. A $4.60 shipping charge also applies to the order for priority shipping and delivery confirmation. Canadian customers have the same shipping costs. Other international customers, please inquire for shipping costs. I just want to mention that I'm happy to combing shipping costs if you get more than one share or friends want their shares shipped together. Also, no PayPal fees will be added if you choose to pay with PayPal.

In addition to this, you will qualify for a free gift bag to be shipped to you with your brads. My gift bags include at least 5 yards of ribbon samples, plus 25 brads and 25 eyelets. These are always a standard item on my site with each $50 ordered.

To order, drop me an e-mail at pinkhedgehogpapercrafts@gmail.com or send me a PM on SCS.
