I, too, learned the hard way about purchasing the package deal up front. I have talked myself out of buying the whole kit and caboodle a couple of times, only to end up buying each piece separately at a higher price. I just haven't been disappointed in any of Cathe's products, and I always come back for more. It is kind of fun spreading out your purchases, though. You get lots of highly anticipated visits from UPS, though those are, unfortunately, accompanied by additional shipping costs.
At any rate, I've learned my lesson and going for broke this time and ordering all 11. I can't wait!!!
