October Updates & Holiday Orders

Custom Coco by Natali Blick


Hello and thanks for stopping by the studio today! The babies and I are always glad to have visitors!

I hope you all had a wonderful, happy and safe summer vacation. I wanted to take some time today to give you some updates on goings on here at the studio and some information about custom orders. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at blessedstudio@aol.com.

Painted Kits

This season I will continue to focus most of my attention on creating and selling my painted kits. I've received a few questions about the way I price them and why I offer them at such great low prices. I purchase a lot of closeout, sale and seconds kits, and often get a great deal on them. I love to pass this savings along to my customers as well. The final price I offer a painted kit for is based on the price I originally paid for the kit, and what extras are included, such as eyes and occasionally a body. I add to that a flat rate painting fee based on the size of the kit, and that becomes the final price I list them for.

When it comes to custom painted kits, I charge a flat rate painting fee if the kit is provided to me by my client. If I order the kit, then the price includes my painting fee plus the actual cost of the kit and shipping to me. I do not mark up kits or make a profit on kits ordered for custom painting.

For more information, please visit my Painted Kits page.


Full Custom Babies 

I will still be accepting custom orders over the holidays, but I will not be taking on as many as I have in the past. I enjoy creating custom babies for my clients, but I have a lot on my plate these days as far as just day to day life goes, and so I want to make sure I don't over extend myself as far as custom work and deadlines, etc. If you're interested in a custom baby, please visit my Custom Babies page for prices and other information, and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I make every effort to answer emails within 24 hours, but it does sometimes take a little longer, so please be patient.

 

Payment Methods

Due to a recent increase in fraudulent transactions, I will only be accepting payments through Paypal
or US Postal Service money orders. If you don't have a Paypal account, it's easy and free to sign up
and they offer protection for buyers as well as sellers. If you have any questions concerning these
changes, please feel free to drop me an email.
