*** DECEMBER DAILY 2024 *** MEGAAA thread

Haven't felt this excited about all these DD sneaks in YEARS. Everything is SO GOOD. Delighted the floral pattern is 10x8 but the other albums are all gorgeous and they've got me thinking what other projects I could use them for (the international flat rate shipping makes me want to bulk buy things for the rest of the year). Thank flip I save some money throughout the year to buy all this stuff.

[/quote]Summary of albums revealed:10x8 and 4x6 - green floral pattern (can’t remember what was on the inside sorry!)



The 4x6 album was plain red inside.

I'm going to get the red star album for DD.
I'm going to get the 4X6 floral for something. I don't know but I love it and it's so cute.
I'm also going to get the trees album because we do camping trips for 2-3 weeks at a time and this would be perfect for it.

I'm not usually one to buy a lot of albums but these are all so good.

Super nervous about the cost of the main kit.

I am feeling the same about the albums.  And I, too, have the white album from last year, but I have learned to get them while I like them and I did the green floral 6x8 last year, so I need to do either white or red this year - and that red star would look so nice on the shelf next to the green from last year .  I love the trees too.

On the price of the main kit, it was $59.99 last year. I cannot imagine them increasing more than $10 knowing they may price people out of purchasing and they want/need people to purchase that kit + album.  So, I am hopeful minimal price increases.


I did not get Liz’s last year and even this this one looks a lot like her others, I think I will splurge for it along with the main kit, probably both of the 6x8 albums, those large vellum pieces and maybe those white trees for the mixed media project.  Not that I will use them that way, but I like the idea of playing with them.  Also probably the scalloped plastic squares.


Will be curious to see what else gets released and what the stamps look like this year. 

I actually don't have much of a stockpile of albums! But I feel the same way. I have one cranberry simple stories for a camping trip but it said limited and I liked the color. It's not like it will go bad. And I have one black linen album from a SC sale last year. So I'm okay with stocking up. Also some years I just don't like the albums so I've gone with something plain from Citrus Twist. So I'd much rather have them on hand just in case. I did not like the Ali albums last year and got the one from Paige.



UGH!! This is my conundrum. I've always gotten it and I use some of the stuff. It's usually pretty basic. But I don't want to watch the sneaks. I like the surprise. I love opening a little thing for myself every day. Advent calendars are big in our house. I always do a beer one for my husband (this year I will change up as he's not drinking as much). We always do something fun for my daughter: Popcorn, jam, you name it. Now that she's not into Lego anymore, it's harder.

I will be spending a lot of the main kit and a couple of add-ons so I won't need the advent calendar but I really love it.

Ali and Lisa are hosting another live on Instagram tomorrow at noon eastern time.

There was a sneak on the insta - they are green felt.

Here is the sneak for Elle's Studio. Didn't see it posted.

sleepingbooty good too see you again! I haven't been much on here this summer, off to read the thread!

I like the look of this a lot more than the Ali Edwards products.

I think I’m going to have to pass on this year’s kit etc.. the $29 flat rate to Australia (and that’s in US dollars) means unless you are buying albums and kits you spend more money on shipping. I’m pretty sure I have enough supplies around as much as I’d like something new haha.

I'm in NZ, and thinking of getting the main kit but don't need an album. The shipping cost is super tough to take though, especially with currency conversion 😬 I know that's just the cost to them but still, ouch!

lg you're very kind! All international shipping is so expensive. I'm not aware of other Kiwis who might be ordering but will keep an eye out 🙂

The 1-31 number set are little transparency pieces with the numbers in white, written in Ali’s chunky handwriting.

That same Ali-handwritten number “font” will be the numbering on the Advent Calendar cards.

… I think that probably means I’ll be skipping the calendar. The contents would have to be extra appealing for me, since the packaging is basically a big pass for me.
