Polka Dot Whimsy Newsletter1

So i will start by saying..sombody kill me...this has been a VERY trying month here at PDW...it just might go down in the books as the WORST...as i try to keep my head up..i am reminded by friends..that ALL things work out...hmmm trying hard to go with that....you would think that these companies WANT to make money ..that they WANT to sell there product and get it into all your hands...one would think..and so this brings me to my rant!!! i can forgive a little lateness...i can even forgive forgetfullness....BUT what i cannot forgive is stupidity...i know it sounds harsh..but when you are waiting...and waiting on a product to come in...and you get it..and you look at the box and say to yourself...MAN there must be allot on back order...and then open it only to realize..it NOT YOUR ORDER....ugggg i have had it...so crying doesn't help....being mean doesn't help...in my case i prayed...and yesterday at church..i prayed even more...prayed for the strength to help me understand this industry...to help me understand there ways of thinking...on my end i know all is done...but it is there end that i have to pray for...it is them that makes me doubt my own self as a business owner...geezzz so that is my rant about the industry...but besides my chaos over the past couple of weeks...i want to let all of you know that i am so very grateful for all of you...so grateful that you love your kit every month and evan more grateful of your patience this month...you will never know HOW grateful i really am...so THANK YOU....and your kits will start shipping this week...just FYI...again THANK YOU THANK YOU ...and THANK YOU....

cha..cha...changes....are on the rise here at PDW...like a new store to shop at...and message board to chit chat at.a gallery to upload all your stuff..and a new re-vamped kit club...we have some changes that are going to take place with PDW in JAN 09 nothing to major...just changes for the better...stuff that hasn't worked for us in the past.. is the past..we are going to make PDW even better....we are going to make the shipping dates earlier....by the 5th of the month....we are no longer going to have a 3 month sub...but a continuous 6 month sub...with auto billing...and the way the main kit works now..it is going to be changing a little bit...for the better of course.we are still going to offer our amazing main kit filled with all sorts of whimsy -doos....but the album {or project} will be purchased seperatly...there will still be a project every month..and a link..that will go live the day the kits go live {unless it is some crazy new new product not available yet} i just feel that people who really do not favor mini albums...do not get a chance to try out our fun kits with crazy stuff..becasue that silly album is so foreign to them...and then all my silly girls WHO LOVE mini albums still get to have that treat...does this make sense..if you have any question just email me...i know you will love it...plus it gives me a little more wiggle room to use some awesome albums that are out there..that i just can seem to fit in the "budget" of the kit....so what do you thank ???....we will continue to offer the main kit...specialty kit...and add-on...and then each quarter we will do a POLKA DOTS favorites collection kit...we are also looking into a shipping change...i am very aware of how long it seems to take UPS to get to the east coast from here...and i have been in talks with FED EX...and it looks like they can beat those shipping times...so it is something that we are aware of and looking to change that to...also look for the all new gallery to be loaded with page layouts...i know some of you do not go near mini albums..so my hope is that the layouts will help you....with your PDW kit...there is always a change in any company...stuff to make it better...stuff to make the process eaiser...stuff to make you all happier..one thing for sure..is we have upgraded our server..so there should be NO MORE LOST EMAILS IN SPACE....and i know that to be true because this morning there where 952 unanswered emails from the weekend...so i know they are now coming in.... so i hope you all look forward to all the fun new PDW stuff!!!
