Do the SS holiday albums have a larger spine/ring than the kraft albums? Yes, larger spine AND rings. It's the holiday binders and a very few select ones only. The SS Hickory binder I linked and talked about a few pages back has the same large spine + rings as the holiday binders. 👍 I absolutely love these as "thicc" alternatives to the AE DD albums Another thicc alternative that is the same size spine as the ae 6x8 albums are the citrus twist ones - highly recommend these! Rainbow of colours too

Is there a free shipping dollar threshold this year? I don’t see it mentioned anywhere. Not for December daily it’s the box price ($13 for US). thanks!

I have been really debating on my list today, and I think I’ve finally got it ready for the morning. After a lot of back and forth I think I’ve finally decided on skipping the main kit, and getting the mini kit. I really like the main kit this year, but when I really break it down, I’m not sure how many of the individual pieces I actually feel like I would use. I think I might consider buying some of the cards in digital form this year if I end up feeling like I need more. The only pieces from the kit that I’m sad to miss out on are the wreaths, and the craft pockets, but I would probably only use one pocket, and maybe 2 wreaths, it’s just not enough to justify buying a whole kit for. In addition to the mini kit I would like to get: 6x8white star album Paislee Press stamps specialty paper pack die cut inserts die cut labels die cut pack plastic tags It’s a good sized list, so we’ll see what I’m able to actually check out with in the morning.

In addition to the physical products, I am planning on buying the hybrid class, and the prep day. I might buy a few digital products this year to use with the hybrid class, but we’ll see when the time comes, I like that there’s not a rush for the digital products.

I just talked myself out of ordering three albums (I think🤷🏻♀️). I have other albums I could use and I have a cinch to make custom ones. Think I’ll stay with paper packs and embellishments. I always get the pin too. But the shipping costs for three albums plus other stuff makes sense too.

Can someone tell me what the square papers that opened as windows are called exactly, please? I'm Looking for a matching die. To all peas after window dies, lawn fawn have a range called lift the flap (circles, squares, rectangles etc) and trinity stamps do as well. Pretty sure yournextstamp has some as well. If you want to give money to small businesses rather than Aliexpress that is! Card makers use these all the time, also look up peek a boo dies too: www.lawnfawn.com/search?type=product&q=Lift+flapLove this, thank you for sharing. I think I’m going to pick some of these up.

I looked at the list again last night, and decided to pass because I don't want to pay Ali's money grab of shipping.
I did like the silkscreen and some of the specialty papers and the wreaths, but not enough tonpay $13 extra to get it in my hands.
I'll see if anything winds up in the shop later on.
I wonder if AE deliberately chose the 10x8 album for her DD to entice some people to buy it who only buy whatever she uses?

Having gone through my DD stash and rewatched the release videos, I am still on the fence about the albums and shop items. I have a healthy DD/Christmas stash but like having at least some of the items from the current year so I can “play along” with the classes and designers. I definitely need to buy less this year, though 🤞
Album: I am torn between doing the 6x8 size this year or the 10x8. I might be going to NYC in Dec this year, so may have more photos than usual. I don’t really like the design of the 10x8 album this year—I may look at the 10x8 Linen album in her shop if it’s included in the boxing period. I’m just not sure how many photos I can put in the 6x8 size w/o going to 2 albums, which I don’t want to do. If I get a 6x8 album, it will be the White w/Gold Stars.
Kit: I missed out on the Paislee Press kit last year, which I regretted, but this year’s Paislee Press kit is very thin compared to previous years offerings, so I will pass on it. I like most of the main kit, so will go with that.
Stamps: I got a few sets last year, so am planning to just get the Tag stamp set and maybe the Numbers stamp set. I can use both of those on other layouts besides DD, so will get more use from them.
Other Shop Items: Will get the Plastic Tags for sure, the Die Cut pack, and the Specialty Paper pack. I am a maybe on the Die Cut Paper Inserts, Envelope Bundle, Painted Wood Veneer Stars.
Most of the leftovers I have from DD 2021 and 2022 will go well enough with this year’s offerings, so I really need to remember that I have PLENTY of supplies to make a nice album. (And am still hoping for a good Paper Person release, and maybe Pinkfresh). I am also hoping for some good discounts on previous DD items that will be added near the end of the boxing period. 🤞
Now I just need to stay firm and not give into FOMO during the (very long) boxing period 🤣

I know Ali will do something amazing with those die cut foiled ornaments in the die cut pack (especially because she also said she loves the ornament paper), but they're not my thing so I'm ordering either of those products. I'm sure I'll regret it when I see what she does with them.
I'm sticking with the tag theme today - plastic tags, chipboard tags, and pocket tags. I don't know why, but this is what I'm feeling this year.

Which album will go first? I was surprised the stars and green seemed pretty equal in the stories DD did for the giveaway.

The FOMO is real. Gonna sit on my hands though and might jump on the Hickory train with Booty for my album.

May the odds he ever in your favor buying your favorite items! 😂 Ali and Lisa said a couple times they increased the qualities if items this year so maybe no quick sell outs. I think green album will be first album. And plastic tags might be first embellishment - but she did say she bought a lot so it might be a different embellishment with a lower quantity like the die cut pack.

Same here! No photos but it was easy to add everything on my list. The only glitch I had was that the main kit accidentally ended up in my box
