Stampin' Up! - Update on Watercolor Wonder Crayons

Stampin' Up! has just advised that Watercolor Wonder Crayons are still currently unavailable for purchase at this time.  This applies to all Watercolor Wonder Crayons listed on page 194 of the 2010/11 Idea Book and Catalogue:  
◦119802 - Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Subtles
◦119803 - Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Regals
◦119804 - Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Brights
◦119805 - Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Neutrals
◦120949 - Watercolor Wonder Crayons, New Color Kit
 
As mentioned in a previous Stampin' Up Bulletin, the previous supplier of the Watercolor Wonder Crayons was purchased by another company, resulting in their relocation to a new manufacturing facility in a different country with new staff.  Because of these extraordinary circumstances, Stampin' Up! is experiencing more difficulties than they initially anticipated, and they still don't know when the Watercolor Wonder Crayons will be available for purchase. Stampin' Up! is currently working with the CEO of the new company to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. I will keep you updated as information becomes available.
