I loved all of the new sets from PTI this month! Completely randomly I happened to be online when they were made avail for order. I don't usually order from PTI anywhere near release time...but figured..why not? The website was a bear to wrestle through...but got my order placed!
Anyone else jump in on release day? What did you order? What has struck your fancy?
For me it was the Fruit sets, the mini year of flowers set, garden set and seed pack dies.
I am still trying to finish my order. For some reason I can't get one stamp set to go into my cart. Now I can't even get on the site. Says it cannot find server. I am about to just give up.

They had some really amazing things this month. I would have liked it all....but I got the seed packet set, the word dies/sentiments, map/travel set, and lots of other stuff. I would have loved to get the fruit sets, mostly for the sentiments, but I already have similar fruits from Stampin' Up.

I did! Stumbled across the release tonight. I already had well over $100 in my cart from previous releases (PTI newbie) so I was a good girl and only ordered a few things. Can't wait to get my goodies!
I'll go back for Garden Variety, Year of Flowers and the dies to go with in a month or so.
I loved almost all of this month's release! I ordered all of the flower sets, the map set, and the fruits. Now I can't wait for it to ship. I've never ordered on a release night before so I hope it really doesn't take too long.
I got the Garden Variety and Year of Flowers stamps, and the Seed Packet die and packet frame die.
I really wanted the cute little picket fence die, but just could not get it to go into my card. Every time I clicked it and then looked at my cart, it showed the alpha blocks die instead, which I kept removing.
I finally gave up on the little fence, cause I was afraid the rest of my order would get messed up.
For whoever asked about how quickly they ship on release night, I would say pretty quick anytime I've ordered. I usually get a shipping notice the next day.

Regarding shipping, Nichole did mention on her blog that orders MAY be delayed slightly since they just moved their warehouse. I'm excited too...wasn't sure I was going to order much but after seeing all those great samples, I was in for 130 bucks AND I forgot to order the dies to match the garden set. Oh well. I had no problems ordering but I ordered at 3am est. I fell asleep but woke up about 2:30 and couldn't resist placing an order in the middle of the night.
Thanks for the help. I finally got it to work. I was trying to get the flower fusion set but no matter which way I tried it never did anything. I tried from the front page, from the what's new page, and I think the flowers page. Each time it did nothing when I hit the add to cart button. I was afraid I was going to end up with 20 of them I tried so many times. At about 1 am it seemed to be fixed and I got it. I have not ordered on release night in a long time, now I remember why.

I ordered. I usually order on release nights but this release night the website was more messed up than usual. I ordered some of the fruit, the tag its, and the mini year of the flowers. A couple of dies too.
I have never ordered anything from PTI but have meant to,sad I know. After seeing the May release this morning I HAD to have the fruit sets! I bought the matching paper pad also. And I can't resist a cute baby set. I cannot wait to get my order!!!
My friend and I split an order of felt a few days ago, trying to beat the rush. Then on release night, we wanted the new stuff mostly. I got Wonderful Words Additions stamps + dies (so looking forward to those - the stamp set is GREAT!) and mini-year of flowers (hooray for not having to spend $15 per flower set!), plus another color of felt.
Had problems going in the front page, but was OK once I used the back door link, and this was about 15 mins after release!
I went in this afternoon and got some things. The seed packet and the Wonderful Words and the additions. Seems like there will be a lot you can do with those.
I ordered yesterday afternoon, got the wonderful words/dies (LOVE them), tag-its 4, fly away and the matching die (finally back in stock from LAST release, and some cardstock refills. I don't order on release night anymore, too frustrating.
woohoo! so excited, my order arrived Saturday, but I was out of town, so when I got home in the wee hours of Sunday, it was to a lovely package sitting on my front steps! can't wait to play!

So happy for you! Have fun playing! No package for me yet here in NH and no shipping notice either but I often don't get one or get it very late including the day of or after delivery. There is hope now that perhaps I may get it today!

I guess I shouldn't panic then. I got the order that I placed for the release but haven't seen anything on the order I placed for dies on Monday! Oh the stress of waiting for them to arrive!!

Bummer for me. I just now got a shipping notice that they are shipping today and expected to arrive Thursday via UPS. I leave that morning for a trip to Utah and won't be back til Monday. grrrr...... I usually don't place orders near the time when I am leaving town so I don't have this issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think it would take them a whole week to send my order! I ordered release night. :(
I just got my order from release night today. It was so fun to go through everything! I liked so much stuff I ordered more last Thursday too and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.
Don't worry if you haven't gotten a shipping notice. I've emailed them before asking about a shipping notice and had my package before they could even respond! Sometimes they must get hung up in their system.
I can't wait to see what everyone makes - have fun everyone!
I received my release night order this past Thursday, but didn't get to play with my goodies till Sunday. Love the seed packet die. Gift cards fit perfectly!!
