MOVING!

Hi Everyone. Guess what? We're moving to our new blog now! go to www.freshpagesco.typepad.com to enter our latest contect, and check out our October Kits. November sneak peeks will be up soon!

October Kits

Just to let you all know that the October kits will not be up until Friday, October 5th due to manufacturers problems. Seeings how this is only our second month I hope that you'll understand!

The new blog will be ready in a few days, Our new 2 kits format will be in use for October. I will however be keeping up the September kits that we have a few of.

There is a SALE on all September kits still in stock. The new prices reflect this sale, as well take a 5.00 discount for second kit you purchase, 10.00 for every third one etc. We also combine the shipping.. take advantage of our shipping maximums!

Thanks!

Back!

Why hello everyone! It's been quite a long time now hasn't it? With the flu settling upon my humble abode and trips and visitors from afar its been a whirlwind around here but looks like its going to settle down for awhile.

We have quite a few changes coming up for October. First and foremost, due to results from a quick survey we did gauging peoples responses to Fresh Pages Co. we've decided to have only 2 or 3 kits every month. The overwhelming feedback was that everyone liked the kits, but there was too much choice.. and because they couldn't decide they just didn't buy a kit.

We will have some months with more kits, and as we start to grow we may think about increasing the number of kits again. It does take a while to become more established, and we are very very young. I started out quite large, and have realized that you must work your way up to that :)

We're also moving to a new blog in the next week or so! The other feedback we're getting is that people want to see what to do with the kit! So on typepad we'll be having both a gallery for a small design team, and for reader submissions! Its a big change, and at some point in the next few months we'll be looking to expand our design team! So keep an eye on here and on pubcalls and you'll be the first to know.

hmm what else.... I'll have some sneak peeks on here as soon as the last of the October things are shipped...

Oh yes, and a large shout out to Anam Stubbington for all the help! She's been absolutely wonderful in offering suggestions and being honest and sharing her vast knowledge of everything! Thanks!

New shipping rates

Hi Guys, the shipping rates are on the website under FAQ

6.00CAD for Canada
10.00 for the US
13.00 for International

This is being revised to say MAXIMUM 6.00, MAXIMUM 10.00, and MAXIMUM 13.00 for a kit.

If it is less you will be charged actual shipping, more and I will cover the remainder. More than one kit and it is actual shipping.

Thanks for being so patient as we work out the kinks.

RAK anyone?

For anyone who purchases a kit this lovely long weekend expect some lovely surprises in your package!

We now have a total of i think 8 RAK winners from the past week, whew! It's almost addicting, this giving things away...

PS_ I'll be working on the picture size starting Tuesday when I can get ahold of my web developer, I'm sorry!!!

they're up!!!!!!!!!!!

Twas the night before kits....

and all through my house.. dust was accumulating faster than a mouse.. or then it ought to be.

So here it is guys.. the last night of stress. Tomorrow I see how you guys like it. A few things I'd like to go over before then,

1) The pictures are kind of small.. something I will be working on in the near future. If you need to see something bigger, you can email me at fresh.pages@gmail.com and I can send you a bigger picture.

2) Shipping in pay-pal can only be calculated on a % based system, or on one where you put in from 1-10$ is____ neither of which works for me because we're shipping all over the world. So to make it easier shipping is flat rate.
Canada is 6.00
USA is 10.00
International is 13.00
This is for ONE kit, if you buy more than one kit and the weight of the package exceeds 1kg than I will have to charge actual shipping (normally about 3.oo more)

3) When you make a purchase you will pay only for the kit. I will send a separate invoice for the shipping with 48 hours. This is until I can figure out a better of doing this. I understand some people may not want 2 separate charges, so if you would like I can send out invoices with just one total IF you email me with the kit you want, and it is still available.

If you know a better way of calculating the shipping, and adding it, please let me know.

4) There is no automatic counter on the inventory which means I am doing it manually. Sometimes this may backfire and you may pay for a kit which is sold out. You will immediately be refunded, and should you want another kit, you will receive 20% off the price of the kit, and our very sincere apologies. (any solutions for this would also be appreciated)

One last thing.. please leave nice, happy comments. This is a nice happy blog and I'm being nice to everyone else. Be mean elsewhere.

(winners are Nathalie, and Pattyjo, You guys can each email me at fresh.pages@gmail.com. Also Annie and Dolly need to send me their address)

two more days!!

Only two more days until Fresh Pages is up and running! So this morning I'd thought I'd let you guys in on a few little pictures....would you be interested? he he

We'll also be having yet another giveaway! This one is needs to be a little bit more challenging. I want you all to email everyone you know about us opening. Post on message boards. Put up flyers. Call someone. I'm going to be going through a few message boards today and tomorrow and if I find any that mention us Im going to make a list. From those people they will recieve the biggest prize yet! Actual kits! (To those who have already won, some have been recieved already and the rest are in the mail! Same with all the designers kits!)

So go out there and spread the word. And if you don't want to do that, or you already have, put a few suggestions in your comments. Maybe some kit contents, maybe a place to advertise, or a way to, maybe some recipes.. whatever. Someone from there will get something too. Just make it more fun. And now, for some pictures!

Just a reminder

Just a quick note to remind people to keep sending in their kit ideas! We still have an opening for November so just send an email to freshpages.kit@gmail.com with all the things YOU would want to see in a kit. Doesn't have to be elaborate could just be

new american crafts pp, foam thickers, heidi swapp bling, LOVE the color red, and hambly!

Easy as pie! If you know someone who might be interested send along the info. They get a free kit out of it, plus the chance to be featured on our site with links back to thier galleries and blogs!

(* note due to international regulations we will not be offering a 50.00 payment at this time. Instead we will be including extra scrapbooking goodies in their kit to make up for it. All designers for the months of Sept and Oct will not be affected by this change. Thanks for understanding)

winners already!

da da da da *theme music*

Well I am home, and well rested and not even sun-burnt. Ty had a really good time, he would run as fast as he couldinto the water until it was too deep for him to stand and just float on the power of his lifejacket. (with me holding onto the handle on top the whole time) That kid just has wayyy too much confidence around water!

Watched the hills and had a little party for that.. oh random reality TV.. i don't watch much but.. lost, greys and house hunters on a regular basis.

Hmmm.. so we need another winner though now don't we? I shall go grab tv from making a mess and come back and post a winner. Remember.. there are lots more! brb

Rak Winner #1

So the first winner has been chosen! *drum roll please!

Cute blog! Found it by the post on CKMB. I can't wait to see your first kit.
August 11, 2007 3:31 PM

Rachel! Please send me your address and email stuff and pick what you want from that list!
Ty was pretty boring and just went for the first one he saw.. didn't even scroll down!

There are 6 more to go so keep on checking back!

shhhh... a secret

sometimes I think the only reaosn I put up RAK's is so that I have links to a whole batch of new blogs.. which I am obsessed with. So just so you know, I've been reading the blogs of everyone who's posted or emailed. :)

Im getting ready to go camping for a night.... by camping of course, I mean an RV in a nice safe campsite with a restaurant near by... Yes. I am THAT girl. Did the tent thing, decided it wasnt for me. Only on the veryyyy few occasions when Ty doesn't get to come. Then I will sleep in a tent. But not with a toddler.

When I get back I'll get ty to point to a name on the screen/delete imporatnt files. Like my best friends contacts in her cell, oops!

Good luck and keep emailing in kit ideas. Oh, and spread the word! Fresh Pages is comin' to town!
