Class Sale question

I have had quite a few people ask me about teh buy 2 get one free class promo and if I was going to do that again soon. I normally don't run sales over Christmas for anything just because I think people spend money other places and want to have the best timing for a sale. So, if you would be interested in any in taking advantage of another sale, please let me know if you would want it now, or after Christmas.
Buy 2 get one free would be for
Advanced Preemie
Native American
Advanced Asian
Olive Skintone
Beginner DVD

or if you had a class suggestion for next year, that is not listed, I am always open to suggestions.

I need one more category, Other...I wouldn't start the day after Christmas because your webmaster might not be readily available but the day after the day after would work, perhaps. ;)

I voted for after christmas sale ... as for more classes lets see I think we should do a breathing or beating heart baby I think it would be different but not sure what others would think about it .... Sherrie

Sherrie, I really do NOT like those breathers. I did one and it caused more problems then anything else. I'm sure I posted about it.

Oh well sorry hon I must have missed it but I'm happy with what ever is suggested lol... Sherrie

I would love to do a monkey class. It would be different. I have a bindi kit here to reborn for my son, and haven't the slightest clue what to do with it lol.

Perhaps we could combine the monkey class with a character doll class? Both of them aren't a lot of people's cup of tea but perhaps if they had a choice they would be willing to experiment a bit with it?

I don't know if anyone would go for it, but a possibility could be a monkey and vampire skin tone class...seems a lot of people are making vampires/pale skinned character babies...? (If you want help with what to do for character babies, I'd be glad to help Lara, I just can't help with how to paint skin tones yet!)

Money is always tight for us, but I'd love a sale. Is it possible to do one a bit later in January?? Maybe after we've recovered from the holidays a bit. (My birthday is in January, I might be able to convince my husband to let me have it as a gift!)

I really can't do one later, as I do get enough people who sign up just for one class, and with the Preemie class starting in Feb., people would be signing up in January for the class anyway. (Sorry!) I don't really like doing sales on the classes normally because I honestly think they are a really great price, and a lot of work goes into putting them together. This will be the last sale until at least summer, where I may be promoting fall/winter classes.

The only reason why I bring this up is bcause there have been so many new people joining the past 6 months who missed out on the last special, and I have had a few ask if I can do another sale.

If we do a caracter baby I say we do it around september and make it a halloween baby lol.... Sherrie

That would be cool, but not sure how the lessons could go on that. What type of character? I mean each one would be so different.
I think it would have to be like mini classes with different types of character babies. IDK.....

yea I guess you wouldn't want to have all ghost babys lol.... I like the idea but maybe it should be like the other one everyone do there own baby and just run a contest that was really cool and I missed out on it lol....

That's a good idea to do a contest. Maybe like the skintone one, and then the winner reveals how they did it. Anyway, we have lots of time to think about that.

Yep lol... lots and lots ... sherrie

I voted but I have paid for all classes except the Olive Skintone one. Lara can you confirm that for me please as I don't see my name on all the class lists? I thought I bought the Asian and Indian and the 2 DVD's when you had the last sale.



I would love a monkey class but I would probably participate in anything lol

Maybe there could be a mini class for monkeys and possibly a mini class for pale/white-grey skin tones in September for Halloween (like Sherrie suggested) for ghosts, vampires, androids, etc...?

I was here for the last BOGO sale on classes, but I didn't even have money for one class, so I missed that one. I did take advantage of the BOGO sale for ebooks and I LOVED that sale.

I think its a great idea, I missed out the last time with everything going on here, I have voted.

I re-read the first post and didn't realize that it was buy TWO get one, I thought it was buy ONE get one. I'm not sure I could come up with money for two at once...hrmmm.

Rachel, if Lara allowed it, and I had the money maybe I could pay for the class for you and you could make me a costume

Lara I was also thinking about class suggestions...

How long ago did you do the Strawberries and Cream class? Maybe you could do an advanced class of that aiming more at Princess characters like Ariel, Snow White, Belle, Cinderella with the pale complexions?

Maybe you could do a poll to see who would participate in what everyone has suggested

Oh, I'm afraid I would never do that one......I'm nice, but not that nice! lol......

That seems like a cute idea....the contest would be really amazing!

That sounds awesome!

Well if Lara does the Strawberries and Cream Advanced class you can make me a princess costume as trade for a class Rachel

Lara I have your Strawberries and Cream E book but I would definately take the advanced class if you had one

Lara, I voted for after Christmas and will definitely sign up for upcoming classes! I love Kym's idea of Advanced Strawberries n Cream and the princesses!

Sounds like a deal, Kym!

Lara, if you do a princess/strawberries and cream class, can I help moderate??

Rachel, At this time I have about 12 moderators to choose from for helping with classes, and don't see needing another at this time. It depends on how many sign up for the class, on how many I will actually need. I try to keep it a 6 to 1 ratio.

Rachel if Lara goes ahead with this class I'm sure you'll get lots of orders for costumes!

I'll be first in line!!

Lol Karen, maybe we should order now and get first pick lol

I have an idea. I'm going to PM you.

Ummmm...I would need mine first!!!!

Ok Lara, you order first, then Karen, then me lol

Lara, if you did the Advanced Strawberries class and we created princesses would you use Real Effects kits so we had some variation in our little princesses?

I'm not going to be able to sleep now, my little mind is focussed on princesses lol

Or another set like Dolls to love or whatever that is. Anything that has a set color for all vinyl kits would work well, I think. Okay, Lara you would get yours first because you are the one who needs it first

Yeah, I forgot about the Dolls to Love kits. Then we would see lots of different beautiful princesses!

LOL ladies! If you want to order princess dresses from me, I'd be more than happy to take your commissions! This will be fun! If you're thinking of Disney Princesses, there are a lot of them, even some lesser known. Of course, Princess Tiana would be the A/A ebook, Pocahontas would be the Native American class, Mulan would be the Asian class and Jasmine the ME/I ebook. But, there's Ariel, Aurora (sleeping beauty), Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel, Snow White, Giselle...Alice in wonderland or Tinkerbell are not technically princesses, but they might work also. Of course, the seamstress gets the TRUE first pick! There's always generic princesses too, which would also be lovely!

I think we decided on having this class in September...so it's far away, yes, but will give everyone time to get costumes together. I am thinking to do a fair complexion with the strawberry and cream look. Snow White is ideal for that (so I'll take her! lol) but really any would work. The ethnic princesses would not work for this class, unfortunately. But you can also consider Princess Fiona or even Mulan would be fine with lighter skintone. Real Effect has 2 different vinyls. Their newer one is lighter. I would prefer a lighter vinyl to start with, to make the complexion easier to achieve. The Dolls to Love is more neutral. Stoete has very light peachy vinyl, and so does Dolldreams. I doubt that Linda would give us a generic discount on all her kits, but maybe she would if we limited it to a certain sculptor. Stoete kits, I can get wholesale, so we can of course get those at a nice price...say $75 for them. So, I think we should decide between Stoete, Dolls To Love (with would be $99 through Sandie) or Doll Dreams $65-$85.
Thoughts?

Yay!!!!

I'm very excited about this class and don't mind what kits you choose Lara. Is it cheaper and easier for you to use the Stoete kits? If we use the Stoete kits can we use the torso too?

I vote Stoete and no fair you take my choice!! ROFL!!

Well that's good, because I was thinking another princess

Sure, we could do optional torsos. I don't think I could do those cheaper then like $120, though.

She's Angie's favorite! How could I not choose her?

That's ok Lara. Adrie has some beautiful babies that will make adorable princesses with or without the torso

How many 49 year old women has the cartoon on DVD and does not allow anybody to watch it besides herself? Snow White is MY favorite, too!

Maybe Rachel can come up with 2 different Snow White Outfits for you both

Kym, I challenge Lara to paint lightly enough to make Snow White. Even if we have the same costume, our babies will look totally different. We just like to banter back and forth.

Linda you could buy the Peaches and Cream Ebook and Lara has Native American Indian and Asian classes coming up in the new year

Classes are fantastic. They go over everything! Lara posts a lesson 6 days a week and you can choose to do the lesson every day or do what I do and wait until most of the lessons are posted and work at your own pace. I am a night owl so it works out well because I reborn when lots of ladies are on the forum.
