I got an order from Dani today, woo hoo, and when I opened the box up, there was wood shavings everywhere. I'm assuming it came out of the santa's workshop box since there was some in there too but mostly it's all over the place. I guess it's like the white balls in the snowday set, lol. What is qk thinking with all this mess, lol. But it was fun getting 2 orders in one box. Lots of playing tonight. Thanks Dani!

Getting ready to put the dies away and right now, not such a cute idea  lol. Got Santa's workshop, couldn't resist at that price, lol, enjoy, couldn't resist at that price either, lol, and the new releases I ordered. Too fun! I'd have been running across the yard to get my order too, lol. Vicki |

While at the LSS today, the UPS man came and delivered something like 7 huge and I mean huge boxes of sb stuff. I was thinking how much fun it would be to get SL boxes that big, lol.

Ah...the wood shavings! My vacuum remembers them well! Does anyone remember the teeny, tiny styrofoam pellets in the snowman set? I thought I would never get them to stop clinging to me...a few of them managed to migrate to different rooms in my house! Aaarrghhh!  |

Yeah, the box tipped over and shavings are on everything in the box and all over hubby's office cause I opened the box in there, lol. I think the box was well shaken on its way to me. I remember the balls from the snowday set, thought that was a dumb idea too. Cute but dumb. Hopefully they'll stop making such messes for us, lol.

Yes, I remember the wood shavings well! Mine had leaked out of the container, and were all over the other stuff in my order. I couldn't figure out how they got in there.  When it finally dawned on me that QK had intentionally put them in the Santa's Workshop set, I couldn't believe how dumb they were! Yup, that's exactly what a scrapper wants to do when in receipt of a box of new toys - vacuum the whole house!!!  Gail |

Vicki, well now the shavings make sense! I read the other post referencing it first. And funny, but the first thing that I though of was the QK SW set. I didn't think that could be it--I'd forgotten that Dani had that promotion. It's a great set!

I had a very good customer contact me this week telling me how the stuff got all over her bed and telling me " I know you guys are under construction but..." I had to explain to her that it didnt come from us, it was QKs idea.... The funny thing is I told her to contact QK and tell them to stop with their mess making GF. She did that and then sent me an email saying QK has never had any complaints... It cant be serious. The Snow Day and Workshop where HUGE mess. Just imagine what my floor looks like after having shipped a few hundred sets this past week.

QK has never had a single complaint? I have a really hard time believing that. Those sets are a MESS! Fortunately, I had a good warning each time and opened them outside.
Maybe it's the new company who had never heard a complaint?

...QK has never had any complaints... It cant be serious. The Snow Day and Workshop where HUGE mess. It must have been a new employee, who didn't bother to ask around! My former LSS owner had informed them about the Snow Day pellets, after some of her customers had opened the release in the store (she wasn't still in business for the Santa's Workshop). They HAVE to be aware that, clever as the idea was, it isn't such a delight to all of us!  |

The packaging is so darn cute, but what a pain. I think those snow pellets were the worst--they were everywhere and they stuck to everything!
I wonder what this year's set will bring...

and I have wood shavings all over my scraproom floor now I am having a hard time figuring out how to get these darn vent covers up (the supposedly magnetic board I had up did not hold even one single die so I put 2 vent covers over it and wahla! reuse, relax and recycle have a new home) and when I took the santa's workshop dies out of the box, wood shavings everywhere If the set this year comes with messy stuff inside, I'm opening it up outside ;D Vicki |

Whatever the set is this year, I'm opening it outside as a precaution!  You just gotta know that the "genius" that thought up these cute ideas was a guy, cause anyone who does any cleaning would never do that to their customers!!! (OK, that was a very sexist statement, and I must admit my DH has spent most of this weekend shampooing carpets and cleaning while I scrap!  I don't mean to condemn ALL guys, but no woman would do that!) Gail |

Whatever the set is this year, I'm opening it outside as a precaution! Whoever gets the first set (would that be Susan?) could do everyone else a favor and tell us what the "extra surprise" will be! Maybe if a bunch of us called QK/LC and suggested that they forget the annoying "extras", they might consider it? ...If it's not too late, already!  |

Cookiejarscraps, that is so true. I brought my snow days when it first came out, and I'm still finding those little snow pellets. We even had a old black cat (Cat) with long fur that seemed to pick up all the darn things. I think a couple managed to hide out and multiply; because our young black & white cat (Velcro) seems to find them.  Cat |

Dani must have known that was the last thing I needed in my craft room! |

I'm trying to remember... I think that Dani dumped a lot of the sawdust before shipping. Or maybe it sifted out of the box while it was in the warehouse?
