I have figured a way to get back at it! September 9th, Kalicocrafts will be reopening for custom orders. SO EXCITED!! Here are some things I've completed lately! LOVING California and the Amazing weather here. Son just start Kindergarten and the little lady is so sad missing her brother.

Extension

This is one of the HARDEST decisions that I have had to make. I need to extend the HIATUS until January 2014. I will honor any commitment that I have made and prior to this posting. I just need more time to get settled, and focus on me and the family a bit.

The Low Down on Shutting Down

Those of you on Facebook have seen the NEWS! As of March 31st, I will be closing up both the Etsy shop and Custom Orders. Etsy shop is open for Ready To Ship items only. Look for the reopening sometime in the Fall of 2013. Hopefully then I can add Ruffle Pants and Many other new and exciting items.

Why you ask? I'll tell ya.

We are moving to Northern California at the end of Spring is a BIG one. My youngest has decided to stop napping at 2.5. Nap time is my work time. I am a Single Parent during the week as the Hubs job keeps him away. So, you can imagine with two crazy climbing kids I am exhausted once they FINALLY fall asleep.

About Me:

As my Customers have grown I sometimes forget that not everyone is a "friend" of mine on FB and so you don't know my life or situation. I am a SAHM with a "Hobby". I say "Hobby" because I didn't start it to make money at it, nor do I keep it up for the money. It is a fortunate situation that I am in, I don't have to do it for the money. It's nice but, it is not my motivation. What is my MOST important focus needs to be my family. That is the main reason for the stops and starts of the Shop. I am constantly torn between the two.

The plan as of know is we move to California, get settled this summer and once the kids are in school and preschool in the Fall I will be able to have the time I need to do both.

I will continue to share photos and products as I still have orders to finish. As well as private gifts and sewing for my kids in the mean time.

Thank you all SO SO MUCH for sticking with me and being loyal. I am SO BLESSED to have the support and love from you all.

Please don't hesitate to drop me a note if you have any questions!

Court

CHEVRON MINKY IS HERE!!

Just saw this morning that Minky in Chevron print is now available. I will be ordering a yard of Black/White, Blue/White, Hot Pink/White, Silver/White for stock as well as some of the new Minky Swirl Colors : Silver, Charcoal and Jade

HOUSEKEEPING

Order CUT OFF DATE will be APRIL 1st, 2013 until after we move and get settled in Californ-I-A! With a goal of all orders being complete by the end of April. At that time I will be concentrating on our move and will notify all once back up and running. Do not be surprised if it is not until the Fall of 2013!

I need to clarify the Order Process: 

Once we have confirmed your order details I will send you an online invoice. That invoice is to be payed promptly (as in within a few, few being 3 days). The "due" date that is confirmed in discussions is based on this. If you delay your payment, your order is then delayed. I cannot guarantee your order will be received on or by your "due date" if you delay payment. I will no longer order items or materials BEFORE payment is received. 

On to HAPPIER Notes!! I am off to Californ-I-A with the Hubs next week to take a peak at what and where we will be living in a few months. While I am gone I have decided to have a CONTEST!! It will be on the Kalicocrafts Facebook Page.

Here is the FB Post:

"While I am out in Cali next week how about a contest???? Thinking about those who have received or purchased a Kalicocrafts item can enter by posting pictures of the item they purchased in use!!! I know it would make my day while I am stuck in a car looking at RIDICULOUSLY priced housing! It will start on Monday, March 4th at 12:01am eastern and end Monday, March 11th at 12:01am eastern. Post pictures to the Kalicocrafts page and whomever gets the most "LIKES" WINS a $30 credit!!! TAKERS???"

So get your Photo Shoots scheduled, you have a few days til we start!! Can't wait to see them all! After you post your photo(s) you need to RECRUIT for "Likes"! Most "Likes" wins!!! Good Luck!

Here are some recent orders:

I am now offering MORE items such as Totes, Duffle Bags, and Backpacks to be personalized

They wanted an Elmo Shirt for Elmo Live! I found this at H&M while on the hunt for a Blank Tee. I added the name in Heat Vinyl!
