Etsy restock

Hi everyone!
I'm so sorry that I didn't get the chance to do a proper update for the Etsy sale! Last week was so crazy for me. Thank you to all who placed orders yesterday and today! It's always so nice to see my old friends again!

Right now I have many, MANY order requests and order add-on requests that I would normally try my hardest to honor. Because I decided to sell only a limited number of products this time (to keep my TAT reasonable), I'm heartbroken to say that I can't honor most of these requests. Instead, what I'm going to do is list the remaining items that I have in the Etsy shop this evening (Oct.2) at 9:00 pm ET, for anyone to purchase. This is the fairest way I can think of doing things, although it does pain me! I'm sorry for the short notice, but I need to finish up with the sales so that I can get right to packing things. I'm going to need every minute of the 10 day TAT, I'm afraid, as I still have hundreds of convos and shipping refunds to attend to. Thank you all again.

ALSO! I've decided that if things go smoothly with getting the Halloween orders out, I would like to have another sale in November for Holiday items. This would include more of my main line of products that I didn't get the chance to make this time, as well as some limiteds. I hope that some of you who missed out on the Halloween sale can find some favorites at that time. I'd like to try to do these two sales yearly, as I think that would be something I could do and still honor my personal responsibilities. Yay!

Thank you all for your kind words and support! My heart is truly touched.

edit: I came back to add that I'm sorry to those of you who may have waited out the "madness" of the sale thinking that you could get a reserved listing later (like in the past when I had unlimited stock). If I was thinking clearly, I would have mentioned beforehand that custom listings might not be a possibility if things were selling fast. I'm still learning what works best for all of us, and I hope you can forgive me when I make a few mistakes along the way!

Awesome, This kind of brings up a question I have. I made..eeekkkk...10 seperate orders last night?!?! I didn't want to miss out on anything and everything was going sooo fast! Should I wait for a revise invoice? I sent you a convo last night, which I know you are terribly busy, but in the convo I sent the 10 order numbers. So should I wait for a revised invoice or go ahead and pay and wait for a refund? I just didn't want to pay $100 in shipping since I purchased so much anyway. That way I know I have the funds, if you know what I mean :) Sorry to be such a pain! I couldn't help myself last night :) Thanks Erin!

PS: Erin, no pressure :D I sent you a convo and an email and listed down my order numbers so you can easily find them :)) I'm icingsprints by the way! Kisses and I am 100% sure that I will LLLOOOOVVEEE ur stuff (as I have always anyways!!!)

Ooh, awesome, I would love to see the shop open again for the holiday! I was lucky enough to snag some things this time around, but resisted buying a whole year's worth!
