Well...the first sold out has come. The rubber pieces are now sold out. Bwahaha, I KNEW IT! That's why I hesitated. I don't mind. Three pieces in the mini kit I got ought to be more than enough for a DD album. I'm not that much into rubber. Any guesses which will be the second item to sell out? And now the word stickers and 4x6 photo flips are sold out.

All I can see is the 34.99 spiral notebook. I am not ordering anything because I refuse to pay her inflated prices and I have plenty of stuff from Gossamer Blue and my stash to make an album, but I do like to look. That notebook is crazy, right? She should have included 6x8 versions of her prompt pages from that in the main kit. That would hav ehelped beef up the value and been kind of fun to have. I can't wait for KP and FYC, they might be able to get me buy some new pretties. That spiral notebook is the only thing that caught my eye - thanks for that (eek! I'm not sure yet if that's a sarcastic thanks or not!) It's much more like Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas, which is the project I usually do. I'm not a fan of putting stuff in plastic pockets any more. It would be easy to turn that into a sort of Smashbook, using the prompt where they suited, ripping out pages here and there, pasting stuff right over the top. Maybe if a pea hadn't just pointed me to some creative journaling videos I wouldn't be seeing the potential here - I don't generally care for spiral notebooks. But the creative part of my brain is filling in lists and pasting in photos and pretty papers... I have to keep reminding myself of some basic facts: a notebook isn't worth $35 to me, even if it comes with a bunch of prompts, and is kind of pretty. I have eternal access to JYC so I already have all the prompts I need. I have a journal that I'll be using daily anyway. I don't want to pay a bunch of money now for something I won't get until Oct-Nov. I'm sure there will be a flip through video of this journal on youtube once they get shipped out so you can see all the prompts and copy the ones you like anyways.

I don't even know what Vegemite is? Do we have it in the US? It's the other hemisphere's Marmite. Only British/Australian-themed specialty shops carry Marmite/Vegemite. It's definitely an acquired taste. I never managed to like it. #sosalty Yeah I don't even know what Mamite is! Off to google!

How much vegemite can you buy for that? I don't even know what Vegemite is? Do we have it in the US? It's a yeast spread like marmite that you put on toast. Might be available in a British store. Tastes a bit salty. One of the staples of New Zealand and Australian life. Plus full of vit B so very good for you.

Black salty yeasty stuff spread on hot buttered toast. Mom, you would probably hate it. I gave it to 2000+ Japanese students when I was a teacher there and 3 tolerated it, only 1 liked it, even though it tasted a lot like soy sauce/fermented Japanese yummies. I'd be happy to send you a jar if you'd like to try though... I've found in it the PNW.

hahahahahahahahaha Classic kiwi understatement. I had teachers who couldn't stay in the same room when I had the jar open. It's very fermented and salty.

I tried vegemite once after hearing it was so popular in Australia (you can find anything in NYC) and it was... weird. And not good, IMO.

I got one stamp set, the green album and the kid's album. I figured I'd get the mini kit when they do Christmas in July if there are any left.
Just looked and the red album is sold out now, too.

mom Vegemite looks like nutella and is used the same way but tastes like soy sauce + fermented seaweed + yeasty beer + goodness only knows what. Very strong, though not as bad as Marmite. It's... unique. The only American I know who eats it has to be very drunk first.

I feel awful for the people in other time zones who were up in the wee hours to order from AE and had to wait an hour to get into the store and check out. And then have to deal with those prices in their local currencies. I saw one of my Aussie friends was up at 3am to buy.

I am glad I didn't wait to get the album as that was the one thing I really wanted. Not the only thing I bought but I figured that was a must have for me I also bought the word stickers that are gone. Still debating adding a stamp set. I know I will find stuff with Elle's studio that I want to the end of this month - and I just saw a peek and she has a date night stamp set that might be really cool. Too many choices.

For me Christmas is the one time of year that I go all out for family, I save all year plus shop all year long for gifts and I do more Christmas projects than anything else it is also my birthday month so I do splurge on Christmas Srapbooking supplies. My mom's favorite holiday was Christmas and with her gone it is even more important to me to keep up with our family traditions. I'm not trying to knock you at all. DD just isn't my thing. I buy Christmas themed stuff for Christmas pages that go into my regular albums. For some, DD is an event in and of itself and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Ask me about the year I hand made every gifts wrapping paper?!?! And then last year where I ordered EVERYTHING off Amazon so I wouldn't have to set foot in a store :*) so I'm no one to judge anyone. Ever. I just get too caught up in the snark. Oh gosh I didn't mean for my post to sound like I was being judged. I just was trying to explain my reasoning for this project and my obsession with Christmas supplies.

I remember the song from the 80s talking about Vegemite sandwiches. I remember the band INXS talking about them too. Sometimes being all they could afford to eat when they first got started as a band and were poor.

Simple Stories Very Merry album is 6x8 with a larger spine. I wish they would make all their 6x8 albums with the thicker spine. Thank you cbscrapper! Just bought the Very Merry album through Amazon. Even though I have extra AE page protectors from the past two years. I'm pretty sure I have some SS page protectors in my stash too. If you don't mind mixing brands in your album, the AE page protectors will fit in the SS albums. The middle holes in the AE page protectors line up with the SS rings.

I just got home from work and was having a case of FOMO. I decided to take ONE of my Christmas drawers and spread it out. I also reminded myself that I have Carta Bella's A Very Merry Christmas and Pink Fresh Studio's December Days collections on order. Not to mention my other drawers of Christmas stash from October afternoon and others. Calm down, Nicole lol. I think I am going to just take a few minutes of me time before I have to go get my little guy.

nicolep Definitely not saying the Paislee Press mini would work great with Carta Bella's Christmas Delivery line... Joking aside, that's an awesome and pretty full Christmas/December-documenting stash you have!

(Don't hate me for loving and paying for the chipboard...or should I say for attempting to put it in my box!) I love it and I want it, but I am not willing to pay that price! Wish they had sold them separately I really wanted the circles and squares but not the rest

I left after securing the things I really wanted and just went back to see what else was being offered. I love using transparencies, but the designs on the 6 x 8 package are just not my style. The small ones in Liz's kit are great and I'd love to have those as a 6 x 8.
Can anyone teach me how to make a transparency? What do you print on - is there that kind of plastic that is printable available somewhere? Do you use your regular printer to make it? Can you stamp on that kind of plastic?

Can you stamp on that kind of plastic? You can stamp with StazOn. But it's slippery so you need to be careful (and perhaps use a stamp platform).

I know when I order prints online from Office Depot they have a transpareny paper option. I am sure you could make your own design with digitals and then just get them printed.
