Default Note to Self Series - advice and opinions welcome!

Kristin and Ru here! We’ve loved working on the Note to Self series (I believe it's been over 5 years now!) and we’d love to know – should we continue with it, or is it time to try something new?

If you're thinking it’s time for a change, we’d love to hear your ideas! What themes, styles, or concepts you like to see in future kits?

You two should do a new spin-off series. Word to the Wise where you create a series of kits with clever life lessons and messages to the world.

Word to the Wise: It's ok to say No.
Word to the Wise: Eat The Cake, Wear The Glitter, Take the Nap.
Word to the Wise: Your Inbox will Never Be Empty
Word to the Wise: Laundry is Self Care
Word to the Wise: Time is Not Refundable
Word to the Wise: Just Wing It
Word to the Wise: Resting is Productive

I'm not sure how many you've done; however, I have eleven of them, so I must like them. lol Have you done "NTS - You're not crazy"? I sometimes hear that I am.

Peresonally I love the NTS series
I've got 28 of them .... I don't think that's all of them, but close.

I'd love to see a spin off like Robin suggested. I like the word to the wise.
But truthfully, whatever you two create together, I'll most likely buy it.

Um yes please! I feel like it's my favorite word lately!

And like Kiana said- pretty much anything you two create goes instantly into my cart regardless if I have a use for it or not!

I don’t think it has to be a spin-off idea. It could just be its own kit (or series!!)

Love the NTS series plus I love Robin's ideas as well!!

I'd love a NTS boy's version too!

I'd totally add a poop kit created by KCB and Ru to my stash!

Anything you two create together will be great. I don't think it necessarily needs to be a series. You could easily do a whole lot of one off themes on whatever inspires you, and it will still sell.
