Are you allowing Layaway for the new exclusives you just got?

[Dani]

No. All these sales you see with future shipping dates are being special ordered. I do not want to hold inventory until my warehouse is 100% in order so we can have a better layaway service as in the past it has been a big mess for us and a huge disappointment to some customers who ended up not getting everything they ordered.

hey dani - how goes everything? dad?
i know you haven't finished sorting and that is fine i am never finished sorting! but the pre-orders for tim's dies from sept - when do you think they will be ready to ship? i think i had the penants dies in there as well........
i know you have had WAY too much on your plate and i am not in a rush cause it is not like i have used my last exclusives dies yet!!! ;D just didn't want to be forgotten
and wanted to catch up and make sure everything was going ok with you and your family...

Chili, the pennant dies are part of the CHA release that isn't available until next month. If you had the TH dies in the same order, they will be held until the pennant die is in stock. It's frustrating, I know! But that's why Dani says to make separate orders of the pre-order stuff. Because one die delayed with delay the entire shipment.

December is going to be a wonderful month for you!

thanx michelle - i thought i had added the right months to the cart oh well! like i said ;D a certain someone has not used the last dies that just HAD to come home right away!!!! they have only seen the light of day!!!! not the touch of paper! and i have not managed to find those spacer thangs i need to use the tim dies with the epic yet anyways so they will just wait in the drawer with the other ones.......... waiting for the soft touch of paper before the rolling thunder of the epic pushing them through to delight me with gorgeous that is tim dies
couldn't help it! ;D

[chili]

just went and looked and all of them said 'pre order sept' .... even the pennant die set
but as stated above ;D i am in no hurry!!! and neither is my cc!!!!! 'specially if there is more to see on the ninth!!!!!
and i was trying to be sooooooooooo very very good now...... who knows what will happen!!!!!!
'if' other stuff happens to come my way, i will let them be wrapped for Christmas that way they can feel the touch of paper!!!

Chili, the LC/QK order has been pushed back several times. It is so frustrating! But please realize that Dani doesn't have any control over release dates. He's just going by what the companies tell him.

The Epic cutting mat is in stock and available now. www.scrapyland.com/Epic_Cutting_Embossing_Mat_p/epic-06-mat.htm

But remember that you can use the cutting mats from the Rev as well. The sandwich is cutting mat, steel cut (thick) die, cardstock, cutting mat. I have one 4x4" cutting mat that I use with my Sizzix dies. It's easier to handle that sandwich than using two of the Epic cutting mats. The only thing that I recommend is to dedicate one mat to use with Sizzix dies. They "chew" up the cutting mats a bit, so I have a cutting mat that I use only with the Sizzix thick dies.

see michelle!!! you have just added more to my cart!!!!!
i kept looking for the cutting mat, but couldn't find
now using the epic cutting mats is better than using the sizzix ones? cause i just put those in my cart........ as i said i just collect tim dies, i see no apparent reason to use them!!!! that is why i am in no hurry for my last order to arrive!!!!! the guilt might finally get to me and i may feel i 'need' to use someting!!!!
i used to have a little quilt shop and know far too much about delays!!! so no problems here
just need to get the cutting mat issue finalized and then i can go back to collecting and actually being able to use them IF the urge hits!!!!! ;O)
thanx

Chili, I believe the Sizzix cutting mats and the Epic cutting mats are the same thickness. I pointed out the Epic mats since you have an Epic. Remember, the cutting mat isn't the same as the flex mat--you don't use the flex mat with the thicker dies. If you do, you will end up cutting the flex mat into a lovely shape!

I am with you Chili- I just keep buying things and storing them away. I have sooo many dies that I have not used and really do not have time to use yet everytime a new release comes out I buy more!!! It is the thrill of shopping.
