I’m following quite a few DD team member’s IG accounts and enjoying that. But I’m finding I’m craving some minimalist inspiration! This year seems very maximalist to me..fun to look at but overwhems me. Does anyone have suggestions for simpler DD accounts? I sure wish Liz Tamanaha was on the DD team🥰

Now it's winter. I have to do my first shoveling of the season. Luckily it's only an inch or so. I'm trying to work on my Shutterfly photo book for my parent's gift. I am way late this year! It’s definitely winter over here in Fargo, neighbor! We’ve had a winter storm, verging on blizzard conditions, today. And I’m very late on all things December, too, but it is normal for me😆!!

I’m here, just drinking in all the inspiration, camaraderie, and support today…thank you, all!!! I came here feeling depleted and sad and uninspired - but I feel so renewed and inspired after reading the past few pages. Thank you, thank you, thank you🥰🥰🥰!

I ordered a stamp (Pieces of Me) and the Paislee Press WITL mini kit and shipping was 3.03. I was slightly tempted by the 2019 DD Main Kit for $18 - but was too miserly to pay 9.53 shipping

I really need suggestions here, please. I have 10 partly done (less than 50% complete) DD albums from 2010 to 2019. The first two are handmade albums from before the days of DD kits. They are falling apart where the holes were punched along the left side for binder rings. This bothers me very much!!
Then - the other mostly incomplete albums are each started with a distinct style or color palette. How do I bring this all together? I know I'll never finish each album individually. However, I can't reconcile mixing all the colors, styles together. I want to bring closure to all those years and have something for us to look through - right now there are too many blank pages so they all just sit in my studio on a shelf.
Any thoughts, ideas, brainstorms, examples will be greatly appreciated! I did see Jennifer from Simple Scrapper do an album with several years in it - but she started with photos and not partially completed albums. Help!!
ETA: Another thing - is there a place I can look to see Liz Tamanaha's DD kits with Ali through the years, all in one place?

Anyone else on the let-it-be-December-1st-already train? The only reason I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving is because the kids are off from school for a week. Otherwise, I could skip it all and just jump to December 1. I have all the Christmasy excitement right now and I don't want a couple more weeks of November to murder it. I become a conflicted mess as soon as September rolls around !! I LOVE fall SO much that I can hardly enjoy it because I'm so worried it will go by too fast! Talk about self defeating ! So I try to be present (while feeling slightly anxious that I'm certainly missing out on some aspect of it!). However - I also love winter - so then I feel melancholy about fall passing and excited about the first snowfall! HAHAHAAA!!! Yes - I have a therapist .

I wish I had scrappy people near me. It would be so much fun to rent a room next year and have our own little party during the day. I saw photos of people doing that on Instagram. That would be so much fun!

Happy prep day to all the DDers playing along! I heard back from Jamaica regarding shipping. Internationals who covet her covers: she should be offering international shipping again when her Christmas release goes live except for Australia (I'm guessing this is due to the USPS issue as Jamaica ships through them). She is bringing back the glorious 4x4 etched snowflake knitting pattern motif from 2013 in addition to a glittery 3x4 and an iridescent 4x5.5. Oh!!! Can you link me to this, Booty?

I'm enjoying Prep Day so far. I didn't do it last year and thought 2019 was just ok. I'm getting a lot more out of this year's event.

I'm very unclear on the times for the Prep Day tomorrow. One schedule (the email I received on sign up) says it starts at 8 AM Pacific, and the other (in the classroom) says 8:45 EDT. Any clarification welcome!

My haul: I like that these rolls don’t have a lot. I get bored and want new patterns every year. Those mega rolls can last forever. My parents had this one GIANT roll of Christmas paper that lasted for my entire childhood. It was around before I was born, and lasted until I was nearly done with high school. I was present when my dad used it for the last time, to wrap a gift for his boss. He eyed the roll and muttered “I think it’s the end for this one”. And after the paper was gone he slowly folded and flattened the cardboard center and stuffed it in the trash. He was a little sad about it, like saying goodbye to an old holiday friend. 😆 Fast forward several years and I’m shopping at Costco with my new husband, about to have our first married Christmas together. I see Costco’s huge paper rolls. I HAVE to get one, even though none of the patterns tickle my fancy. I just loved the idea of having a roll that would last the ages, like that one from my childhood. We call it The Legacy Roll and dutifully wrap a gift for each other in it, but I’m so over it. It’s been 22 years already and my kids could give a flying fig. They have failed to absorb the significance of the family heritage Christmas wrap. 😂 I loooove this story!!

The sale is extended for another hour, lol ETA: I haven't placed an order and likely won't. I think this was a way to test the water to see how to plan for Black Friday. Prices will have to drop more to clear things out, it seems.

Will the carts remain full until the sale? There's a 5 minute counter, I don't want to build the cart just to have to redo it tomorrow, though I'm only interested in a few things anyway. I'm considering - Coffee stamp by IACB Road Trip stamp Classic Mega Date stamp - if it's included in the sale Maybe some adhesives, not sure. The Mega Date stamp is included - I saw it specifically advertised on IG a few days ago

There's always a catch; we know that. Encouraging everybody to load up their carts ahead - can they see what people want and adjust prices accordingly?? I'm not that tech savvy...but I'm appropriately suspicious with SC.

I haven't purchased anything significant from AE and especially SC since 2018, partially due to life circumstances and partially due to cost, CS concerns from the past. What are your predictions for sales this year? Have they had the big sales in recent years that they used to? Thanks in advance .

I'm interested in the latest SC Documenter (October) kit without the stamp. If anyone wants to part with theirs, please let me know.

I'm not telling you savvy scrappers anything you don't already know...but remember you can always cancel DD charges through your credit card. I didn't buy anything this year but I have a gut feeling this won't go well

I am so happy it is September. I love autumn. I am so sick of the heat! I simply love, love, love fall! Now is the time I start worrying about fall being over, effectively half ruining my enjoyment of it !

It seemed like the offering was geared to people who don’t usually print photos, mostly use Instagram and only make square photos, and wouldn’t put them in albums so the boxes would be a kind of mini album alternative for them. None of those things really sounded like me and it sounded relatively expensive in the long run for something I wouldn’t find very useful. If it were me I would want to ship the boxes back to them and have them figure out how to dispose of them responsibly! I’m more interested in the chat books type of offering where you get something to page through. I’m not sure what kind of solution you’re looking for - maybe 6x8 pages with a couple of inches down the side for a caption? Or are you looking for a photo album suggestions? I ended up cancelling the sub yesterday for the reasons you listed...I was initially hooked by the thought of getting my photos printed on the regular, with minimal effort. But it's clearly not working for me. I'll just fill the 5 boxes I paid for and call it a lesson learned.

And it's a big no to canvas pockets. The unevenness and fraying would drive me crazy. Way too primitive looking for me. Feels like we're going backwards in scrapbooking history.
