The kits are coming! The kits are coming!

Complete-framed

The Housewife kit will be available tomorrow night, Wednesday, at midnight (technically Thursday morning) Eastern Standard time.  Look for them in the Half Caf Paper shop.  The final price is $26.00, not including shipping.  I will have two separate check outs- one for U.S. orders and one for international orders.  I will not be taking any pre orders, so good luck to you!

I'm also hoping some of you will be happy to know that I will have some extras from the kit to sell after all of the kits are sold out.  I will have more 6×6 books, 4×6 (both horizontal and vertical) books, and paper packs!

I really slaved away over these little guys.  Each book was hand cut, sanded, drilled, sanded again, cleaned, stained, and packaged with love.  Each cover is unique with different graining than the one before it.  One side of each cover is birch veneer, the other is pine plywood. The quality of the pine plywood is less consistent than the birch, but it is up to you to chose which side will face outside.

Next week I plan on doing a free little tutorial on my blog to accompany these mini albums.  I'm still deciding on what it should entail… so what would you like to learn?  I may take a few of your suggestions.  (unless there are just too many things, in which case, we will do it in installments, eh?)  I'm thinking I could start off with some ways to design your cover?

A few of my favorite things.

I had quite the shopping spree for Half Caf vintage last week, and I'm so excited about what's in the store!  I have even more things to list this week, when I get the time.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Pop op art 

Blue dress 

Grey cups 

Black geometric blouse 

The very last preview.

Well, folks.  This is it.  The very last paper design in The Housewife Collection.  On Monday, I will post a picture of the complete kit as well as a link to the shop.  At Midnight on Monday night, the kits will be available for purchase at the shop.  There is an off chance that the kits won't be available until Wednesday night, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Monday!

This design is sort of a replica of a vintage feedsack pattern I have a little piece of.  The original was much busier in design.  I paired it down to fit my scrapbooking needs.  And it turned out to be my absolute favorite piece of The Housewife Collection!

I picked up all of the paper yesterday, and today I'm shipping out an order for a very special kit club!  It was so exciting to see all of the paper together!

This weekend I will be assembling the kits into their boxes so that as soon as the kits are purchased, they can be shipped on their merry way.  I can't believe everything is finally coming to fruition!
