It's Autumn, and that means it's time for everyone I know in the art/DIY world to switch out of Con Mode and into Holiday Mode. Yes, it seems early for Christmas, but every November I have to turn frantic last-minute customers away, which makes me very sad. It's not that I don't WANT to create a custom gift for you, it's that my technique takes time (especially in cold, damp weather). Add to that the fact that there are about 10 others begging me to "just do one" for them, and you see the problem.
Scroll down for Thanksgiving sale info and holiday order deadlines.
DEADLINES FOR U.S. HOLIDAY ORDERS
These dates may be changed as my schedule fills up. The more orders I have, the earlier the deadlines become. Those who order first will receive first priority.
[see details and limitations at bottom of this post]

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SALE
As T-Day sale details are refined, I will be updating information on this post, as well as on my social media pages and skelekitty.com. In the meantime, here's what I have decided:
- The sale will last for 4-days over the Thanksgiving weekend (Friday - Monday night)
- All ready-to-ship paintings, jewelry, trinket boxes and prints will be on sale. (Custom items will NOT be on sale, and the "add to cart" button will be deactivated on custom items during the sale, to prevent people from ordering customs erroneously.)
- Coupon codes will be provided for the sale and cannot be combined.
- I am happy to combine shipping on separate orders placed over the weekend, and will automatically refund extra shipping charges.
One more VERY important note
Please check your browser's compatibility with my shop, skelekitty.com.
Over 95% of my customers fly through the shopping process with no problems, but occasionally someone has an issue. Why? The system on which skelekitty.com runs, (Goodsie.com) no longer supports some older browsers including, but not limited to Safari 4 and Internet Explorer 8. Updating your browser or switching to a different browser altogether may resolve your issues.

I am happy to send PayPal invoices, however, please note that absolutely no invoices will be sent during the Thanksgiving weekend sale.
Please don't wait for the order deadline or Thanksgiving sale only to determine that your firewall or browser version/settings block my site. Seriously. Please don't wait for Thanksgiving, since I'll be out of town with no internet connection. You'll miss out on the sales, and we will both be sad.

And now, the fine print:
EARLY BIRD SALE FINE PRINT
- NOTE: additional coupon codes ARE NOT APPLICABLE to the early bird sale (I cannot disable coupons for these items, but will not honor additional discounts on this sale. Please don't waste your coupon codes on these items - orders using coupon codes on Early Bird custom sale items will be cancelled and the coupon code invalidated.)
- * order = payment and all requirements. Your order must be completed, including work requirements, by September 30th to qualify for sale. Paid orders without requirements will be refunded on October 1.
- ** all listings will automatically include this discount (you don't even have to ask)
- *** custom work = all custom and made to order paintings (acrylic on wood and pastel on canvas panel), wooden bangle bracelets and trinket boxes (all designs), if I have to paint it before I send it to you, it's "custom"; does not include glass & resin jewelry.
HOLIDAY DEADLINES FINE PRINT
- These deadlines are for Christmas delivery in the US.
- International customers are responsible for determining shipping times to their country from California. I do not set deadlines for international shipping as each country's customs procedures are different.
- For delivery by Hannukah, add one month to the dates listed (e.g. September 14 is the deadline for custom work desired by November 27).
THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SALE FINE PRINT
- coupon codes may not be combined or used on any custom paintings or trinket boxes
- coupon codes may be used for made-to-order jewelry, though!)
- absolutely no PayPal invoices will be sent for Thanksgiving weekend sale items; all purchases must go through skelekitty.com (please update or change your browser well in advance of the sale).
