Pipsticks: February 2017.

 It's always a happy moment whenever I get any kind of happy mail! And today was another "happy moment"...moment. :) Another awesome envelope filled with stickers! And it's always an a mystery what kind of stickers I get...even though at times we get a sneak peak through IG, I always am excited to see what kind of stickers I am going to get! :)

Pipsticks is "a company founded on the idea that little things can make a big difference....[they] are IN LOVE with stickers and understand their power to make you smile." They "connect and collaborate with thousands of amazing sticker lovers all over the world...[their] stickers are selected by designers and sourced from around the world." They do an amazing job at making sure that you will get a HUGE variety of stickers each month. You will also get an pre-stamped postcard to decorate and send out and other "paper goodies" in your awesome envelope packet. And it's sent like a regular letter with a cute stamp on it!

There are four different packages that you can choose from. There are two packages for kids and two for adults. For kids, there is the "Kid's Club Classic" for $14.95/month which will get you 15+ sheets of stickers, 1 postcard, and 4 sheets of craft paper. And the "Kid's Club Petite" for $9.95/month and that comes with 7+ sheets of stickers and 2 sheets of craft paper. For the adults, the "Pro Club Classic" for $14.95 will get you 15+ sheets of stickers, 1 postcard, and 1 quote card and the "Pro Club Petite" for $9.95 will get your 7+ sheets of stickers and 1 mini quote card. Shipping is free within the US, but there is an additional $3/month for international subscribers.

I can never mistake this envelope for anything else other than my beloved Pipsticks subscription. I love how each envelope each month has a different pattern...and it's all so cute! :)

And each envelope is always in a protective plastic sheath thing so that it won't get messed up in transit, at least that's what I'm thinking. :)

So, here is everything I got in my envelope...first glance, and I'm super excited to see it all! :)

I do love reading the newlestter and just seeing how much time and effort they put into it makes it more better! :) There is always a lot of good things to read in it.

I'm excited about this! I do have plenty of penpals, but I do love Postcrossing and so I do want to see what this other site is about! :)

My ticket number is obviously not the wining number...but my goodness it's SO off, and it can't possible be even from the same batch of tickets! Makes me wonder...oh well, maybe one day it'll be my turn to win something...

So this is what the next winner will next month. Suzie Sunshine, cute. :)

On the back of the newsletter, it's always a different pattern...just like the envelope. If I didn't like the newsletter so much I would have used the back pattern for some of my art journaling. One day I might, but for now I would like to keep them. :)

I am still on a hunt for a photo frame. It's measurements are 8.5x5.5...and it's a lot harder to find something that I am satisfied with than I though! But I do love these quote cards! I love them all and I feel like i should be using them more! I don't like putting them to no use...so I need to find a frame to use...

On the back of the quotes cards is always these cute patterns. All these cute patterns! I love them!

I love these! I just need to find the time to actually design these and send them out. I always know who I'm going to send them to, just need to find the time to actually design these pre-stamped postcards!

Here's my ticket for the next raffle. Let's see how it fares!

I have already looked through all my stickers and this is the only sticker sheet that disappointed me. I actually do love this sticker sheet, but it's missing several stickers...and some are folded and bent, and that to me is a disappointing. This isn't the first time that this has happened, and I'm sure that it's not the last, but I was hoping that it wouldn't happen so frequently. I did write them and I have yet to hear from them. But from what I have learned, they have excellent customer service, and I have no doubt they will get back to me. I told them that I didn't want a replacement,  I was just letting them know so that they can maybe improve quality control. But yes, like I was saying...I still like the theme of this sticker sheet! :) Cosmics...how cool!

Look how cute these tiny stickers are! They are perfect for my planners and my postcards! I they are super cute! :)

These sumo wrestlers are just the cutest! I love them! I can think of a number crafts/projects I can use these!

These are beautiful! I love them and I have to say that these are my favorite stickers from these pack! :) I love love love them!

I like cats, I do, but I am not crazy about cats...and I feel like I am always getting cat stickers. I do have to say, though, a lot of the postcrossers that I've come across like cats, and so I can always use them on my postcards, but I won't be sad if I had less stickers of cats.

I love these kine stickers! I can always use them in my planners! I love how they are all glittery and tiny enough to use.

These are cute! I love these...I've always had a thing with feathers...

I love these stickers! They are so me! I know that these are something I will use with only special things. :)

Yes, yes, and yes! I love all these animal stickers! I can always use these for a lot of things...I love them so much!

I am so starting to love sticker flakes a lot! I love how I get all these sticker flakes because I find that I am always using them! :)

Look at all the stuff I got, and despite getting a sticker sheet that was missing stickers, I still really loved this pack! I love all the stickers and paper goodies that I got! I love and appreciate it all!

I love seeing this shiny pink package in my mail basket! :)

This month's theme is metropolis. Hm...interesting! :) I usually check to see what I get online before my GlamBag comes since it always takes FOREVER to get to me and I can't wait...but this time I have waiting just because things have been so busy that I haven't had time to see what I got! So when I was taking these pictures, it was the first time for me seeing what I got! :)

 

This is my first glance picture of everything! I am excited for the nail polish and the lip gloss!

Ciaté London GELOLOGY Top Coat. When I first saw this I didn't really read the box I just opened it and took the bottle out and my heart skipped a beat when I thought that it was a metallic polish! Ahhh! I love metallic...and then I saw opened the bottle and saw that it was clear and yes, I should have read first and saw that it was a clear top coat. Oh well, I can always use a good top coat! :)

H2O+ Beauty Oasis Ultra Hydrating Cream. I like to keep these little jars of moisturizing cream in my bag in case I might need some extra hydration through out the day.

Trust Fund Beauty Lip Gloss in Blame Game. I just put some on. And I love it! It goes on sheer and leaves your lips with a nice shine of gloss! It's not sticky at all; I'm not sure how long it will last on my lips though, but I like the feeling of it. It doesn't feel drying.

Naked Cosmetics Mica Pigment in Desert Sunset #02. I love eye shadow...and I love natural colored eye shadows with a hint of shimmer...and this one is perfect! I can see myself wearing this on a daily basis.

Manna Kadar Cosmetics Paradise Blush. My go-to make up when I don't have a lot of time is mascara and blush...and I like to have a cake of blush in my bag for those times in the day where I need to look more alive! *laughs* So I like this one!

I know that I can use everything in my bag this month, so I am happy with it all! :)

 So come join me on ipsy and subscribe to the Glam Bag! you get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. Michelle Phan curates the bags! Check it out here!

Peely Pack: Colors of the Rainbow.

 We all know that I absolutely love subscription boxes/mail...I just love getting mail that makes me smile and I also love to make those I love and care for smile as well, and so if I see a subscription that I think that someone I know might like, I get it for them. Maybe not for forever, but for a few months at least...and this sticker pack is my favorite that I have signed up for my niece! I love stickers. She loves stickers. And so this is PERFECT For her! And I have no qualms about it either because it's also educational! A sticker pack this is educational and fun and I love...super love...how she SHARES her stickers with her brother and her friends as well! And if there is a time where I might say, "Oh! I love that one"! She doesn't even think about it, but automatically says that I can have it! I love her heart. So, yes, I will always rave about this subscription...I love it, and you will too! Not only that, but the customer service is amazing and on it! They are one of the best that I have ever come across! They will go far with how nice and people friendly they are! And I will always tell people about this kids subscription. :)

PeelyPack is a monthly subscription "envelop" that "is full of fun...that kids can do all on their own!" According to their website, "The original PeelyPack ($11.99 ) comes with 10 sheets of awesome stickers, plenty for several sticker sessions. The FamilyPack ($19.99 ) has double the stickers-that's 20 sheets! The stickers are based on a different theme each month, and sometimes we throw in a fun surprise, too!" All the stickers come in a portable designed large activity sheet that is "perfect for coloring or using with stickers." It also has suggestions on "fun play tips to help you get your child thinking and learning. Talking over sticker play time is a great way for kids and parents to learn and bond."

This month's theme is "Colors of the Rainbow."

I love the presentation for this subscription. They made a huge activity sheet that holds all the stickers and activites so that it's super easy to bring around with you! Just slip in into your bag and be on your way! 

My DollGirl loves this postcard. She uses the stickers to decorate it and the she writes a message on it for her cousin and sends it to her! My DollGirl also loves sending postcards! Awesome! A lil girl after my own heart! :) Last month I had bought an extra PeelyPack for my DollGirl for Christmas since she loves this pack, and in the pack it mentioned that there was suppose to be postcard in it...and since I read everything to her (she is only 4 and is just learning her letters still), she was super disappointed that there wasn't a postcard in the pack...and so I had written them about that. But I also said that it was okay because I had a lot of postcards to give to DollGirl that she can decorate. I just wanted to let them know in-case they were sending out some without realize that it was incomplete. But they wrote back saying that they were extremely sorry and that they would make it up to her...and they did! Like I said, amazing customer service!!

These were MY favorite sticker sheet in this pack! My niece is going to flip when she sees these! They are SUPER cute! And I love them!

I have a huge feeling that my DollGirl will be sharing these with her brother since he loves animals and loves anything that has to do with animals. She usually gives him animal things. I so love her heart! :)

I can not even say how much I love this subscription for my DollGirl! I have not yet seen her since I've gotten the pack and so I will give it to her when I see her next...but I already know that she is going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this pack...just as much as her Auntie does. :)

 I would totally recommend this sticker pack for your child, or even for a fun "just because" present for any child. I guess you can make your own set, but I know that my DollGirl LOVES getting things in the mail (just like her Auntie! :)) And it was fun opening her pack with her and watching her face show the excitement I, too, was feeling in my heart. :) So, if you would like to join in with the sticker fun with us, please feel free to click here and subscribe to this fun-filled sticker subscription funness! :)
