You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

This will be my 9th year doing a December Daily album! I already bought Carta Bella A Very Merry Christmas by Steven Duncan for my album this year, I will mix it in with all the goodies in my stash. And if I like Ali's kit I will get it and probably an album from her too.

Felicity Jane posted a tiny sneak in one of the Facebook Groups. All it says is coming September.  Not much of a sneak, except colors and patterns. But I'm excited. I loved FJ's December kit last year, so I'm hoping this year's kit will be as good. |

2015 was the first year I actually bought DD from Ali. My poor album still sits unfinished. Normally i just do a daily pocket in my PL album. As much as i think mini albums are cute and fun, storage stymies me. I want my entire year in one album (and one album only).
I did complete a DD back in 2012 using a Smashbook. To date it's the only completed DD that I have. I used SS Handmade Holiday and random stash to decorate. I actually like that it's a little funky and i used paper piecing to create embellishments or used random stuff I found at the dollar store.
I even used wrapping paper (that i STILL have) from my first married Christmas (1990) on the inside covers.

Yay, look at us: not even complaining about drowning in Christmas product already! We're so grown up this year.  Who was the wonderful person who initiated last year's DD thread and then kindly updated the original post with release dates and links to the different DD product? (or am I imagining things now?) I'll do my best to honour your work, mystery Pea. Ali's pushing her wellness IG account and DITL card kit in today's stories so far. No other official DD sneaks yet. |

I don't do December Daily but just do regular Project Life with DD supplies. My December PL usually is 2-3 spreads per week. Both my husband and I get 3 weeks off around Christmas, so we usually have lots of fun to document.

I'll do my best to honour your work, mystery Pea. It was AmandaA . I loved it!  Here is the link to her thread from last year. I also started one that was just on Ali's DD kits but I think it'd be better to have this one thread to keep it all together. Thanks sleepingbooty ! |

I'm such a December Daily drop out, I'm not even going to pretend this year that I will do it. Scoot over. I'm a total repeat DD drop-out. And yet, here I am, starting a thread about it. Oh, the delusion...  It was AmandaA . I loved it! ![:)]() Here is the link to her thread from last year. I also started one that was just on Ali's DD kits but I think it'd be better to have this one thread to keep it all together. Thanks, nicolep ! You truly are our archivist. Great to take another look at the way AmandaA organised everything in the OP. I hope she'll stop by and give us the thumbs up to blatantly copy her great work... Guess I better get on and finish last year's album ![;)]() Don't worry, my Ghost of DD Past is fatter than yours...  |

You have my blessing sleepingbooty I have given myself permission not to do a separate DD this year, and just make my weekly PL spreads festive with the boxes of leftovers from DDs past... which means I will still end up seeing something I HAVE to have and caving if I start following along with all of the new releases  Thanks for taking on this thread this year! |

Thank you, AmandaA! I'm going to revise the original post to include the list of 2016 DD suppliers and we'll take it from there with this year's offerings as they start being announced. It takes a village... Sending you stoic vibes with the no-DD-purchases for this year. May the powers of Santa Clause and all his elves and Rudolph and Tomte and the Befana and... well every Christmas figure be with you! You can do this.  |

Bummed about Gossamer Blue closing shop because I really liked the TN december memories kit last year. I'm still mad at myself for not getting Kelly Purkey's kit last year.
I'm looking forward to seeing Felicity Jane's kit and Ali's guest designers this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing Felicity Jane's kit and Ali's guest designers this year. One week to September 1st and still no campaigning happening at all on AE's side. Very odd. It truly is going to be one hot sudden drop. By this time last year we had been teased, emailed, teased some more and starting to discover the guest designers. |

I wonder how much her launch today of lifestyle goods is going to mess up DD reveal? Im gonna make a guess that Brandi will have a mini kit this year again. |

Ali posted this on Monday, which isn't much information except that they seem to have planned poorly if she's just getting the supplies.  |

Im gonna make a guess that Brandi will have a mini kit this year again. It would actually have been a wise decision for Inked to invite her as a guest designer based on the fact that she's a loyal supporter of DD, blogs about it daily when doing the project (how many guest designers could we say that about last year?) and actually buys the official AE product. But you know they prefer to pick amongst their influencers first and foremost. Can't wait to see JWoww's mini kit. paperamy The Inked-AE collab' products always seem late. Anyhoo, she had the kits in last week since that's when they filmed the previews and had the camera guy around. I'm guessing there might be an album or two missing. Who knows? The main stuff's certainly there already. It just looks like they're being so sloppy and acting uninterested compared to the hoopla of last year. We were kept up to date, there was a pre-established calendar, advertising. Neither Inked nor AE appears to give a capital F this year. Lifestyle products 4 lyf. #whatevs Citrus twist had a kit last year and is going to again this year. Great to know. I've been keeping an eye on their social media and blog but haven't seen anything on there yet. Any info regarding ordering dates/sneaks/release? |

What about Hip Kit Club? Don't they usually have a kit? Yep. They had one last year. Somehow didn't make the list on last year's recap post but I've added them above. julie5 Thank you! Adding the info to the recap. Anybody else feel like DD is off to a slow and sluggish start this year? I'm not digging the atmosphere this year.  |
