Default Color Your Own Pencil...

Alpha by Zoe Pearn.
Again, I've been stalking galleries (and commenting) and this one keeps popping up in my favourites! I must get my hands on it, but from my searching I think it's retired. What do I do? Can I contact Zoe? How do I do that? HELPPPP!

I'm not sure about that specific alpha, but if it's retired, I'd just contact Zoe and ask ever so sweetly if she'd do a personal sale for you. LOL I'm sure she can hook you up!

Phew! I didn't want to go asking designers for personal sales without someone saying it was ok. Thank you Libby!

I have honestly never thought that was kosher - how do designers really feel about that? And what makes a designer retire a kit?

I LOVE the Color-Your-Own alpha. It was in the store for a long, long time (well over a year - maybe even 2). I think it retired in the last Going Going Gone sale. But I think it could have been one of those alphas that lived here forever, lol! I miss seeing it in the store, even though I own it, lol!

I think she needs to bring it out of retirement for a one weekend engagement.

Well I can't speak for everyone, but I've received requests for retired product before. It doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes it's on another hard drive, and it might take me a day or two to get to it. But if the customer is ok waiting for me to look for it, then I don't mind doing a personal sale.

As for what makes us retire products... I think we all have different reasons. For me personally, I usually retire something if I don't think it represents my style anymore or if it seems dated. Or sometimes if it's a kit or something that I just don't like (yep, I've had a few of those! LOL!) I'll stick it in there just so I don't have to look at it anymore. hehehe

Okay, I have waited a week and I really can't wait any longer...
Can someone from Zoe's creative team contact her with my (our) request to purchase the alpha? I emailed her with the details on her website and PM her here at SSD to no reply. I'd really just like to know either way, the suspense is killing me.
