Is anyone participating in DITL today? I’m planning on doing it and sharing on Instagram stories. I have done in the past, but never shared during documentation so hopefully that will make me more creative with my photos! I’m just doing an insert into project life, not a mini album and I am documenting hourly. Hourly is my favorite approach for this project, when I do it, because it keeps it different from WITL.

I didn’t buy any product on this go around so I actually forgot it was today. I’ll give it a shot and see if I end up liking my photos. Sometimes it’s just too damn boring of a day.

I got my Pieces kit today. Honestly didn't look that much at preview as I was busy. Why are the word tiles blue when there's no blue in the rest of the kit? It looks like black in the kit or maybe a dark navy? When I saw the blue I thought maybe it was supposed to be in another kit but didn’t make the timeline. The colors look like the rest kit. I haven’t looked through all the phrases to see if they are generic or related to a specific theme. Either way it is an odd choice to put it with this theme.

I did a couple DITL a couple years ago, 2 are in a 4x4 album. Those are my favorites. I think one I did hourly, but the other I did just as the stories happened. And one has an unusual story, something small and not really of note to anyone besides me, not a planned event or anything like that. But I loved capturing that. I'm not doing it today, but I might do the next one and do a 4x4 album.

Ok, FOMO is getting the best of me. I'm going to sign up for Hello Story 2. I asked if it would be self paced at some point and was told "not in the foreseeable future". Probably BS, but it worked lol. Now to start the first Hello Story.

I am interested in the class, but I don’t get FOMO with AE, so I was going to wait a few months or a year to take it at a discount, lol!

I’m guessing they will but they have no plans for it to be self paced and don’t want to say yes or no. I’m trying to decide if I want to buy the $72 bundle for Hello Story or not.

Or will say 'that isn't in the plans right now'. Doesnt mean it won't be. It just won't be while its being released.

If $72 gets you both classes I would say that is definitely the way to go. I already have Hello Story or I would've looked at the bundle, but the first Hello Story has a lot more content then Hello Story 2 is going to have. It is also still relevant, even though the layouts are a little older style. You could also start working on Hello Story now and Hello Story 2 will probably start right around the time you're running out of steam to focus on a self-paced class (at least that would be wwhat would happen to me, haha). Then you can always complete Hello Story after Hello Story 2 runs.

Lol I’ll be buying the class. I don’t disagree with you that it’s pricey but I really enjoy her classes so I am going to do it. I gave in and did it too! Have you done Hello Story 1? I have it but haven't finished it... so I probably should've done that first, but I like the idea of doing this one live and hopefully I will work on that one afterwards. I did take it,finished it and have actually referred back to it a few times. It’s probably my favorite class of hers. I think you are ok in just jumping in with HS2, because each week seems to be kind of a separate topic.

It's been le drama with my mama (again). Update in the crop thread. TL;DR My mother had an(other) accident two weeks ago. Bedridden, leg cast, etc. I've been travelling back and forth non stop to help out. Which has kicked of my allergies big time due to cleaning their house which has several kitties which my body registers as dangerous creatures. Exhausted x exhausted. Have not tasted a taste or been able to wear mascara in ten days. This is torture for a French gal. I only live for food, wine and a daily lick of mascara.

Is AE my only option for 3x8 page protectors and maybe an album? I bought the Travel Product Play class during the sale, and I think 3x8 would work for a trip that I took. Also, is the DD 3x8 album really Christmas-y in real life? It is the best deal because it has 31 page protectors, lol.

I don't know of any other companies that make 3x8 albums with spines this style, but some other companies make 3x8 album covers + binder rings. Color Cast Designs and Jamaica Makes are companies that come to mind, but I'm not sure what (if anything) they have in stock at the moment. If you really want a binder-style album I would suggest also looking at Citrus Twist's Life Craft album. It is slightly larger than 3x8 because it is designed to hold traveler's notebook sized pages (so basically 4x8) but it's at least another option. It's not actually cheaper than Ali's album though and I'm not sure they have refill page protectors yet. I don't have the December Daily 3x8 but I don't think there is anything inherently Christmassy about it. You would just need to decide if grey/gold is a color combo you are okay with. Alternatively, you could try covering it.

9x12 page protectors are back in stock on Ali's page but not Studio Calico yet.
Stocked up since we never know when they'll be back.
FYI if you don't log in, add items to cart, click checkout, wait for 30 seconds, a pop-up always comes up for 10% off. Then log in and check out as usual with your discount.

Thank you both missmcd and karinec for the heads up for the page protectors AND the code! Was able to use both and got the 9x12 I wanted AND a pack of 6x12. Disney album prep complete!

Worked perfectly!

You know when I was a kid all my mother’s old photo albums were really small, like 3x9 or 3x12. I think 3x12 because they had a hard time fitting upright on the bookshelf. They had all those little tiny Black & White pictures in them with the one zig zag edge. I think they were super early polariods? Even the new ‘polariods’ are the similar small size. I find it interesting that we have cycled back around to that. Similar to this but ours had a binder spine www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-polaroid-land-camera-1814397845

Make sure you are in the checkout screen. I also clicked on the "promo code" and it popped up for me.
Is it bad I'm feeling salty that I have clicked notify me every d*mn time I've been on this website in the last 5 months on those 3b page protectors and I'm so irritated I didn't get a back in stock notification?
And, I hate the two black pleather albums I ordered for my 2018 albums that I'm working on now.. And I just am not certain I want to do my 2019 in yet another messed up black pleather binder?
So all these whiny things, and I haven't gone through with the purchase.
