One last sneak peek!

Michele used the February kit to make a mini-album. It is so adorable! The clear book is not a part of the kit, but it will be available for purchase separately.



So, what do you think? Isn't it adorable?!

Remember, Jan 31st at 7 PM (pacific time)!

Change in Shipping Rates

A couple of weeks ago, the USPS raised the rates on Priority Mail, both domestic and international. :(

We did a little adjusting to our current rates. The change is not significant, rates still range between $5-$9 for U.S. customers. We mainly broke out the cost to ship to California, Arizona and Nevada from the rest of the U.S.

For shipping to California, Arizona and Nevada:
1 or 2 main kits or add-on kits - $5
3+ main kits or add-on kits (as long as they all fit in one box) - $7

For other U.S. customers, including shipping to territories and APO/FPO addresses:
1 main kit or add-on kit - $5
2 main kits or add-on kits - $7
3+ main kits or add-on kits (as long as they all fit in one box) - $9


For International customers, the main shipping option is now First Class. The cost for Priority went up significantly. If you would like to have your order shipped Priority, email us and we will get back to you with a shipping quote. The following rates are all conditional on all the items fitting in one box and weighting less than 4 pounds. After 4 pounds, we have to use Priority Mail. We will notify you if this happens. Insurance is also available upon request.

Canada (First Class, maximum weight 4 pounds):
1 main kit or add-on kit - $5
2 main kits or add-on kits - $8
3 main kits or add-on kits - $12
4+ main kits or add-on kits (as long as they all fit in one box) - $16

Mexico (First Class, maximum weight 4 pounds):
1 main kit or add-on kit - $8
2 main kits or add-on kits - $14
3 main kits or add-on kits - $20
4 main kits or add-on kits (as long as they all fit in one box) - $26

Rest of the world (First Class, maximum weight 4 pounds):
1 main kit or add-on kit - $10
2 main kits or add-on kits - $16
3 main kits or add-on kits - $23
4 main kits or add-on kits (as long as they all fit in one box) - $30

I am back!

What a fun but tiring two days! CHA was amazing. I ran into old friends and I got to finally meet some of my internet friends. I was on sensory overload. The eye candy was amazing! There was a little excitement on Monday morning when the fire alarms went off and we had to evacuate the building. And I missed getting together with my BFF Paris! LOL! If you haven't heard, Paris Hilton is coming out with her own line of crafting kits, so she was there on Sunday (along with all her bodyguards) to promote her new products.

On Monday evening, I went to the Two Peas Cupcake Social. You should have seen all the cupcakes! YUM! And then after that I went to dinner with some friends - Julie, Kim, Sonda, Cindy and Cathi. We didn't want to wait 40 minutes for California Pizza Kitchen so we settled for Johnny Rockets. It was good to just sit and talk and sit and eat and sit. Did I mention how good it was to sit?

So, what did I see and *love* at CHA?!
How about 7 Gypsies and Chatterbox. Can't forget Crate Paper, Cosmo Cricket, Webster's Pages or Sassafras Lass. And there are a few more.
Will you see all these in future kits? Hmmmm ... maybe ... you will have to wait and see! ;)

Tune in tomorrow night for another sneak peek. And don't forget the SKETCH CHALLENGE!!

OFF to CHA!

CHA (the craft and hobby association show) starts tomorrow! I'll be there on Sunday and Monday, drooling over all the new products that will be coming out in the next few months. I've seen so many cool stuff already on the internet! Some of my faves are:
Sassafras Lass (Oh my, I am in **LOVE** with this stuff)
7 Gypsies
Prima
Pink Paislee

And there are so many more! I am going to want to buy it ALL!

Don't forget about the sketch challenge! You have until the end of the week to get your layouts submitted.



And how about one more sneak peek ...


I'll be back in a couple of days with pictures and stories to share! Have a great weekend everyone!

Gotta sweet tooth?

Here are two sneak peeks from our guest designer for February:

Don't they make you want some ice cream or cupcakes?! YUM!
The kit will go live on Saturday, Jan 31st at 7 PM (pacific time).

CHA is just around the corner! I've been looking at a lot of the manufacturer sneak peeks on the internet and I can't wait to see all the new goodies in person. What do you all want to see in future kits? What are your favorites? Let me know!

There is also a Facebook group set up for Color Me Miki now! You can find it here. I'll be using it to post any up to the minute information about Color Me Miki. There is also a discussion board, and an area where you can post pictures. Come join us!

Have a great week everyone!

I love to create Mini Albums!

I love to create mini albums! I've made so many wonderful mini's with my Color Me Miki Kits....and I have another one in the planning stages that will show off Terri's February kit.....such fabulous items on the way......so fabulous, in fact, I have sent my daughter and her BFF on a special photo shoot so I have some really cool photos for it. But in the meantime...if you like my work....take a look at my newest creation, "Lucky", just listed at my Etsy Shop, Little Red Cottage. I'm just crazy about the color Red (as you might of guessed!) and all the red, pink, and pretty hearts flying around everywhere is making me very happy!
