Important Updates and a welcome!
What a fun release party we had last Thursday night!
Personal
As soon as it was over, Rina and I dashed down to Milwaukee to watch Alicia swim at State over the weekend. She had a great meet and got a Zone cut in her 50 free so she will be swimming this weekend with Rina at Zones. I'm really happy for her because it's way more fun to get to swim than to just watch your sister swim. LOL!
In the meantime, here are a few business updates for you.
Orders
This has truly been one of our biggest releases ever! Thank you all so much for your business. We appreciate your support beyond words!
Because of the large number of orders we received, it could take up to 5 business days for you to receive your shipping notice. We know this is longer than the usual for us however, due to the volume of orders this month, shipping may take a little bit longer than usual. (We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.) We know you understand and just like to be informed so we wanted to keep you in the loop. GKD customers are the best!
Copic Club
A few of the sketch marker colors are backordered and may not be in until after August 11th. As soon as they arrive, we will make every effort to ship them out as quickly as possible.
Again, thank you for your patience.
For those of you who use paypal as your payment method, you can make your payment to ginakdesigns@yahoo.com. If you are collecting sketch markers and would like to wait until next week to make a paypal payment, that is just fine. If they arrive a little earlier, we will hold them until we receive your payment.
Company News
As many of you know, my husband, Tom, is a lawyer. He was working as an attorney for a major insurance company. Due to the growth of Gina K. Designs, Tom has left the company he worked for and has joined Gina K. Designs to manage our manufacturing department and to work behind the scenes with StampTV and Gina K. Designs in production. A huge welcome to my wonderful husband. I am so happy to be able to work together to build this dream with you by my side!
Have a wonderful day - back with more tonight!
Hugs,
Gina K.
