Referral Codes for Free Snaps Will Expire

This does not apply to referral codes with an expiration date. Most codes issued on or after Dec 1, 2010 will have expiration dates of 3 months, and this was noted in the email containing your code.

Referral codes issued before Dec 1, 2010 or codes without a specified expiration date will expire on June 1, 2011 when our system undergoes an upgrade. So if you received a referral code for free snaps prior to Dec 1, 2010, please be sure to use it before June 1, 2011.

Longer Delivery Times for Orders to Canada

We have noticed that orders being shipped to Canada are taking much longer than they have in the past for delivery. This is especially true for 1st class shipments, but also applies to priority shipments. Whereas in the past, they generally took 1-2 weeks, we are now noticing the time frame is more like 3-4 weeks.

Please note that most small international orders do not have a tracking number. A trace can be filed for your package if you do not receive it after 30 days of ship date. We apologize for the longer transit times and thank you in Canada for your patience.

Days for Girls / Project Thrive Spotlight

We recently blogged about the efforts of volunteers at Home of Grace Care Centre to provide cloth pads and bags to the teenage girls and women of Kenya, most of whom must miss days, even weeks, of schooling or work every month because they can't afford supplies for their menses.

The Days for Girls program at Project Thrive serves a similar purpose. Comprised solely of volunteers, the organization makes, collects, and then distributes feminine hygiene kits all over Africa.

"We have one of your snap KAM machines at Days for Girls headquarters. Days for Girls is an all volunteer international network that began three years ago and from the beginning your snap machine and snaps have been with us. Today we have served almost 4,000 women (that's a lot of snaps!) and donors purchase snaps from you and send them our way.

It's a vital project. Every month women in developing nations face days with no solution to feminine hygiene. Simple sustainable hygiene kits help girls stay in school, reduce infection and face less discrimination at home, in society or the workplace.

Thank you for your quality supplies and again, thank you for featuring this important issue."

With Warm Regards,
Celeste Mergens
International Executive Director

For more information on this program and to get involved, visit Project Thrive at http://www.projectthrive.org/. You can also find Days for Girls on Facebook.

Kat's Kreations Spotlight & Giveaway (Ended)

Kat's Kreations offers mama pads, diapers, wetbags, blankies, and other hand-made baby-related products. Many items are made to order so you receive a very customized level of service.

"Kat's Kreations is a small WAHM run business inspired by my children. I struggled to find items that fit them properly and began developing my own patterns. The business has come a long way in recent years. I taught myself to machine sew in 2004, though I had sewn by hand for as long as I can remember. I started out with pocket diapers with hook and loop/ turned and top stitched and have advanced to snaps and serged in the past few years.

I make a wide variety of items since I am always trying to expand my repertoire and learn new things. I enjoy being able to share my items with my customers and hope others get as much use and enjoyment out of the items as we do in our home. Momma cloth has become the best seller from Kat's Kreations."

Check them out on Facebook. Info on their products can be found in the Notes link on their Facebook page with pictures in the Photos link. You can also follow the Kat's Kreations Blog.

1400 Facebook Fan Giveaway - Win Snap Pliers!

KAMsnaps.com is celebrating 1400 Facebook Fans by giving away another set of snap pliers (in the form of a $27 gift certificate good only towards the pliers). Ends March 28, 2011 and anybody in the world can enter.

To enter, go to http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=17035&uid=341469263190 (be sure to read the instructions on how to enter!)

Home of Grace Care Center Spotlight

Home of Grace Care Centre is one of the non-profit organizations that KAMsnaps.com supports. They have a wonderful mission and we'd like to make more people aware of it.

"Girls and women in developing countries have little or nothing to help them manage their menses, and as a result are missing school or work rather than risking discomfort or ridicule. The effect of these missed days is devastating, with girls missing up to 20% of their education and thereby increasing the likelihood of dropping out, earlier marriage and pregnancy as well as limiting career options.

When we heard that many teenage girls drop out of school because they don’t have the funds required to purchase quality sanitary pads, we wondered what we could do to help. We were amazed when several companies including yours, generously donated all the materials to make 300 cloth pads and 30 wet/dry bags. Over 30 women in Hamilton came together last summer to sew the pads. They were hand delivered to Home of Grace Care Centre in Kenya in August, a care centre for orphans and widows. These cloth pads now provide 30 girls and women in Kenya with a long lasting option and give them the opportunity to go to school, keep a job, and continue their regular activities during their cycle. They are so grateful! We couldn’t have done it without YOU!

100 Huntley Street - a one hour television program on CTS and Canada’s longest running daily talk show, and Full Circle - a live, open-forum discussion on current news issues also on CTS both featured an 8 minute special report on the Pad Parties that were taking place in Hamilton to assemble these 30 sanitary pad kits.

Watch the Pad Party 8 minute special report on YouTube: http://bit.ly/Pad_Party
Watch episode of Full Circle: http://bit.ly/PadParty_FullCircle

After these two shows aired, we were inundated with requests to do this event again! People all over Canada emailed to ask how they can start their own Pad Parties in their area. Many people are being inspired to donate their time and resources to helping others less fortunate than themselves. This couldn’t have happened without your initial donation.

And we do want to do it again. Our contact in Kenya assures us that there are many, many needy girls and women in her community who would benefit from a quality reusable kit of sanitary pads. We’ve got a dedicated team of seamstresses and helpers ready to serve again in making 500 more pads and 50 wet/dry bags for women in Kenya! Volunteers will be traveling to Kenya over the next few months and are happy to deliver them for us. And we’re asking if once again you’ll step up to the plate and help us by donating.

Any donation would be so much appreciated by our group and especially by these young women in Kenya. Thank you for your generous support!

Heidi VanderKwaak and Cathy Fairley
Plus 30 other dedicated volunteers in Hamilton"

Improvements to KAMsnaps.com Website

We are always striving to make your shopping experience at KAMsnaps.com better. Most recently, we've made a couple of minor improvements to the KAMsnaps.com site that will hopefully speed up your ordering process.

- For engraved snaps, we've gotten rid of the Mixed Color page. You can now order Mixed Colors on the regular Engraved Snaps page (similar to how the Ooga Booga Engraved page has always been).

- Many of you have already utilized our Size 20 Quick Order pages when ordering multiple colors of size 20 snaps. Previously, you could order:

• 100 Caps
  
• 100 Sockets
  
• 100 Studs
  
• 100 Complete sets

Now you can also order:

• 100 Caps + 100 Sockets
• 100 Caps + 100 Studs
• 100 Sockets + 100 Studs

We currently have Quick Order pages for size 20 glossy and size 20 matte snaps. For those of you who order other sizes, would you like a Quick Order page for those as well? Or do you prefer the drop-down menu order page?

Free Shipping to Canada Extended through March

Our free shipping to Canada special is extended through March! Orders to Canada over $32, excluding presses and fabric, ship free by first class mail. Read our International Shipping page for more info. Hurry and order today--this offer is available only for a limited time!

We have also reduced shipping rates for priority mail to Canada.

(Free shipping offer cannot be applied retroactively on previously placed orders.)

And of course we are still offering free priority shipping within the US on orders of at least $28.

15% Off Backordered KAM Snap Presses

If you aren't in a rush to get your press, you can pre-order our professional DK-98 KAM snap press for 15% off. Pre-orders will ship around mid-April. As always, our presses ship free within the US. Offer available to the first 20 buyers only.

The cutest crocheted hats ever!

"Currently, I have set up a small studio in our 3rd story loft up in the mountains of Bozeman, Montana. I am a wife to a hard working man and stay at home mama to a beautiful 18 month old boy. So much has changed since he was born. In my former life I was a horticulturist and worked long hours especially in the summer months. My husband and I decided that it was important for me to be a stay at home mom, but in this economy I had to do something....

That is where the thought of Mountain Babes became a reality. I always loved to make crochet hats and also sew but didn't always know what to make. Then I became a mom and I wanted items that were beautiful but also very functional. So I thought other moms would need these items too! I love big bold prints and colors and like to shy away from the typical baby pastels. I started small at farmers markets and with an Etsy site but found that people wanted a website."

Check them out at http://www.montanamountainbabes.com or visit them on Facebook. You are sure to find something awesome.

Giveaway

Mountain Babes has generously offered to give away one of the following to 2 winners--the winners get to pick which!

• set of dryer balls
• diaper clutch or changing pad

Each winner will also receive a $10 KAMsnaps gift certificate!
