Whimseybox Review and $5.00 Coupon

Whimseybox is a craft subscription box that sends a complete craft, with all the supplies needed, for $15.00 a month.  Every month, Whimseybox sends project instructions, DIY supplies, a reusable storage box,  and an original 5×7 original art print each month.  Whimseybox's slogan is “Stop pinning, start making”.  If are on Pinterest, you know how addicting it can be.  I personally have 928 pins on Pinterest.  How many projects have I actually completed?  I have maybe completed 5 -10 projects from Pinterest.  I was excited to see a company that sends you everything you need for a project, right to your house.  

This is how the box ships
The box ships by USPS and comes in this blue box. 
The Main Box
This is the main box that contains all the craft materials.  It is a nice sturdy box that is meant to be reused.
First Look
I loved my first look.  The ribbon was so beautiful, I had to wait a day or two to open the box.  I couldn't bear to untie the ribbon.
The Card
This is the art card for this month.  I love this print!  I am going to put it in my window when the snow hits and I am craving winter.
The Directions
The project this month was a DIY Beaded Wrap Bracelet.  Project DIY included everything you need to make 2 double wrap bracelets.  
The Box Contents
The contents part 1

Whimseybox sent 2 stickers “Stop Pinning, Start Making, 2 buttons, 2 stickers to personalize, a coupon, and a card with the needle attached (see next photo)

Contents part 2: All supplies included
Whimseybox included every supply you will need for the project: string, clamps, pencils, ruler, needle, beads, clipboard, glue and rope for the bracelets.  The pencils are very cute and they have little sayings on them; “stop pinning, start making”, “DIY 4 Life” and “Makers Gonna Make”.
First Step
The directions are super simple to follow. There are pictures to coordinate with each step.
Bracelet under way
I added a few extra stitches in the beginning, but soon found my grove.  
Finished!
This is the finished piece!  I just just one bracelet instead of the double.  It turned out great.  I am going to make the yellow into a double bracelet and then do another single with the teal.  I broke my needle (my fault), so I will post another picture when I complete the yellow one.
Final Thought:  I love crafting.  I used to scrapbook all the time and craft all the time.  It is harder to find the time to do it now with two children.  I love the Whimseybox sends all the materials to make 2 bracelets.  It was fast and simple to make.  I did it during nap time!  This is a great subscription if you love crafting.  It is also great if you want to craft, but need help with the steps.  Everything is easy to follow and clearly printed out.

SAVE.  You can save $5.00 on your first box by clicking HERE.

Giveaway  Coming Soon! Stay tuned to the blog for a 3 month giveaway from Whimseybox and the United Box Bloggers!

Cultured Crate Update

Cultured Crate posted the following on their Facebook page:

“In a very sad turn of events. In a great way Cultured Crate is
SWAMPED. We launched as a small company and the demand took off quickly. We are now pausing all delivery and issuing refunds until our staff can be built. We are fielding 100s of emails a day and refuse to give ANYTHING but the best service. The refunds are already being done and should be completed in the next 3 to 5 days. It is taking some time. Many are already completed. We do not feel it right to not refund right away until we are able to procure a fail safe shipment method. Zero Misses and top notch customer service. The Beta was SO successful that we out grew ourselves so quick. We will notify everyone when the crates will be available again! Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will
be sharing our Cultured Kids Photos..Because they will be our face on relaunch! Wow!”

While I am sad they have to take some time to regroup, I love that they are making customer service #1.  I am sure we are going to see exciting things from them soon.

What do you think of the news?

Me Undies September Underwear Review

If you are thinking, “Didn't I just read a Me Undies post?”, you would be right.  I got my first Me Undies bag 3 days ago. I ordered the labor day special deal and then it was time to be billed for my first month right afterwards.  Me Undies sends underwear, shirts and socks for men and women.  I have the underwear subscription for women, $16.00 a month.  Oh, I got another “adult product”, so stop reading if you are under 18 or don't want to see it.

StrideBox Review: September

I have fallen off the running band wagon lately.  I have decided to do a 5 mile run in Nov, to keep my motivation.  I really love running outside, but have been using a treadmill in the 90 degree heat.  I am looking forward to the cool fall weather!  I got my Stridebox shipping notice and it reminded me keep running.   Stridebox is a running subscription box filled with gear, accessories, and nutritional products every month for $15.00.
