sleepingbooty, I loved the prompts last year. It really got me thinking. This year I need to actually write because 2018 December daily is still on day 14. Lol. I still have a month and a half. Hoping to finish.

Thanks for the Felicity Jane screenshot! I really wanted to buy one of her kits this year, but that price tag feels too high for me this late in the year. I probably would have spent it back in September before I bought other stuff, and before I started getting serious about saving for the rest of the holiday stuff I’ll need. Oh well, I do like the kit, but I’m not in love with it, so it’ll be easier to pass.

Omgosh. Shipping is $64?! 😳 That's the rate I got for the kit + album. If I remove the album shipping drops to $34. Remove the kit (keep the album) and it's $50 shipping. I know the shipping rates with FJ are usually higher for me (in Australia) but I wasn't expecting it to be that high. That's brutal! And with the exchange rate kicking you when you're down... ugh.

Did any Canadians do a shipping price check? I wonder if FJ has a free shipping threshold?

sleepingbooty , I loved the prompts last year. It really got me thinking. This year I need to actually write because 2018 December daily is still on day 14. Lol. I still have a month and a half. Hoping to finish. Thank you for the kind feedback. If you haven't looked into journaling apps for your phone yet, I can only recommend you do so. I know that joblackford and lasteve1 also regularly journal on their smartphone just to keep up with the little anecdotes and facts. I use Journey. The most well-known one is likely Day One. Others include Penzu, dabble.me to use emails to help you journal and Diarium. It's a great way to get everything penned down whenever you have a minute or two during the day. Go you! You can get the 2018 DD done before December. I know you can.

Well I pulled the trigger and paid the crazy high shipping for the album. It was more economical in terms of shipping to buy multiple albums but I don't think I could really justify spending that much in one hit. I will be keeping my eye out for sales next year and will look to purchase a few albums in one go then to put away so I don't end up in this position again next year! Anything at FJ sell out already?

It looks like Hip Kit is going to have a sneak of their November kit tomorrow, which is their Christmas kit. The full reveal is October 24th. I've been wondering if they were doing a kit this year. I'm using a mix of their previous kits to do my 2017 DD, and just pulled it all out again today to work on it. https://www.instagram.com/p/B31S4xklND4

If the tabbed dividers and the trees are available when I get up in the morning, I’ll probably grab those. Not setting my alarm for 3am though.

Anxiously waiting for hip kit reveal.
This year I got some elements from snow flakes(crate paper) and some elements from home for the holidays (pinkfresh). I hated that yellow in pinkfresh christmas collection but it's nice in person. FJ is too minimalistic for me.
Really hoping to have my christmas kit together by mid nov so that I can use it in dec. Working on to finish my last year's album this week.

I may still look at the FJ stuff (assuming it’s ever released to us peon non-subsets), but I was putting some scrap stuff away today and realized I had a Simple Stories Merry and Bright 6x8 album and kit in my stash. If I decide to do DD, it’ll be perfect!! It even has a package of numbers in it that I can use for the days/dates. I’m sort of laughing at myself because I had totally forgotten about it but I’m also a little stoked that I found it!

Yikes that FJ international shipping is crazy. I put three small things in my cart and postage to Australia was over $23....so I took everything out again! I was a little disappointed with this year’s items. Last year I loved the grey felt stars and the veneer houses, but there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary this year for me.

I can’t believe I’m going to say this, because there was a time I *loved• Felicity Jane and would have stayed up until 2am to buy it.....
I’m passing. It’s just a little blah for me. Nothing is exciting me.
Now I’m going to have to decide on and find an album that’s still available because I’ve waited so late thinking I’d be getting FJ.

So the album with the stars would cost me $39.20 shipped. Pricey for me.
Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble getting any of the detail images to work (ie, pocket cards, die-cuts etc)?

Ugh I want the star album from FJ. I already bought a Simple Stories 6x6 album and now I want this one. Seems silly to drop another $37 (with shipping). I had a gift card that I used to buy the CP line so technically I haven't spent my scrappy budget yet. Another one in the I wish she'd release earlier camp. Not sure if I will cave or not.

I really like the papers and patterns for the FJ kit! After reading the description there are 2/other things not pictured in the kit. Shipping to Canada was $50 for kit+album. Take out the album and it was $25. I chose to get the kit without the album plus some components of other kits that I liked. Now I'm on the lookout for an album locally. Thinking simple stories is the way to go.

Is there another source for the FJ Bow Clips? They’re cute, but $8.47 for ONE paper clip.😳

I can’t get them to work either, but man, that kit seems pricey to me. Maybe it is because I can’t see the images, but wowza, 64.00 with no album plus 12 shipping? It could also be this late in the game it seems like a lot because I have already bought KP and FYC, so another 86 is just crazy to me. I don't understand her dragging it out so long either, she certainly had photos of what the kit was going to look like a month ago, why not just presale it like Ali does? Then people might not mind the late shipping or the cost. I dunno, she seems to be making this way more dramatic then it needs to be.

A lot of planner shops sell bow Paperclips so Etsy has so many similar options for better prices. A found this shop that has so CUTE bow clips. I’ve never purchased from them but they have cute stuff. etsy.me/2rBJxGJ

So much for the delay being to make sure there were no website problems. I can’t click on any detail images either.

So now that I'm at work I can click on the detail images from my PC but still not from my phone.
There is also NOTHING posted about the Noel kit on the regular FJ FB page.

I purchased a few smaller items from Felicity Jane. There is something about that darker green I just don't like, but her black and white items are always fabulous. It is nice to add some non-Ali items to my DD. I wish I would have noticed those pop in things when I placed my order, I could definitely see those saving me some time.

I’m passing. It’s just a little blah for me. Nothing is exciting me. I wasn't planning on purchasing anything, especially after hearing about the crazy international shipping quotes but now that I've looked at it, I'm not lusting after anything. Like you, it feels blah to me. That warm green is actually off-putting. Booty likes her Christmas greens cool-toned af. Just saw Studio Forty's Joyful on my IG feed this morning and it does look nice. It'd be perfect for a budget-conscious scrapbooker who is ok with doing a TN because the TN paper sets are usually around the 3€ mark, that is 12 (yes, twelve) double-sided TN papers for about US$3, ladies. When I see what some US kit clubs/indie brands are charging for some TN papers, I gasp in French. Mona who runs indie Polish scrap brand Studio Forty always has clean designs, loads of white and a finger on the trendy pulse without charging premium prices. Big fan.

My scrappy Christmas mind has wandered right back to this 2018 collection: Ugh. I can be so indecisive when it comes to paper goods. It's a good thing I'm not like this for everything in life or I'd never make up my mind...
