I've been away from the board a long, long time but wanted to jump in to this years DD. I'm tired of it taking forever to finish my albums...I figure a little peer pressure wouldn't hurt!

Ha, that's awesome! I wonder why you can't see my picture. It was of a red knit dress with a fur collar and cuffs with a black belt and yellow felt "buckle." I made the belt and buckle because my 4-year-old said she wanted to be Santa for Halloween. Omg. So cute. Great costume. Also I’m totally saving stories like this costume for my DD. We also recently got the toys r us catalog too and I took pics. It’s going in there.

Thank you ecvnj58 and sleepingbooty! I had no idea there were no page protectors. And bummer about the inside being black with white dots.

I ordered some of the older collections a week ago and they're still showing "processing". Just an FYI, they do have slower shipping, but in my opinion, the quality of their items and the cost make it worth the wait. I really love their 3x4 cards. There's also a code for an additional 10% off until Tuesday --> October2017. And don't forget to add the monthly "freebie" to your cart when you order. This month is a word sticker sheet.

So I figured out I got the wonky 3 x4 pocket pages after AE sent out the email they would send replacements. Curious how long the wait will be for the replacement batch? (Assuming I'm in the waiting for more stock group...)

Found these in the dollar section at Target yesterday - $3.00. I'm a sucker for star shapes for my DD!

We finally have a date for Second Selection to close. November 1st is the last day to add to those boxes. Which means SC kit shipping will get delayed I bed while they try to get all those DD boxes out.

This was shared on the studio calico thread also, but they seem to have a website glitch where if you're logged in and go to "new" products you can see all their new releases for November including their holiday products.
It seems like they are re-releasing Keystone Cabin plus a new line I think is called Making Spirits Bright. You can buy the whole collection for $50 or an embellishment only kit (includes products in the larger collection) for $25 or some items on their own. The whole collection looks like a December daily kit but without an album and the papers appear to be square so not 6x8, but you can't see the product descriptions so I can't tell if they're 12x12 or smaller. Jasmine Jones designed a lot of the products including all of the project life style cards which can be bought in the collection or separately.
There are also some silk screens and a One Little Bird stamp set. Personally the only thing I want (and am dying to have!) is a set of 6 metal tags even though they are super over priced.

sleepingbooty I started a new job and didn't have much time for anything else! I barely registered my parcel being delivered last week. UPS delivered it all "patched up" with clear tape so I checked inside. Kit boxes were opened, one looked "punched in" (for lack of a better word), but nothing was missing. The album was damaged but I think it left the warehouse that way--it was still wrapped and intact. I had good customer service from AE and I'm waiting for another album. That's so nice of you to ask about my ears ! They're better but long story short, this is now a chronic problem. Also, I realized today that I keep asking people to repeat. Also, I am now convinced you never sleep!

(Assuming I'm in the waiting for more stock group...) I was actual working on an email when we got the email from AE about the replacement pages, I responded within 2 minutes with a chat to customer service. My replacement pages arrived 2 days later. It was a nice surprise. Was hoping the stuff I ordered from the second round selection would also be in the box, but it was not.

I probably shouldn't have looked at the December Daily journal flip through video because I decided back when it was released that it was too expensive, but I did, and now I like it even more. But I don't need it. I already bought something similar on clearance for a third of the price. But Ali's clean and simple style is really appealing, and now, seeing all the pages, I know I could make good use of it. If I'd been able to see the walk-through back when the journal was first announced I probably would have sucked it up and paid $35 for it.
I think I'm going to have to go play with the journal I bought instead, to convince myself that it's just as nice - or at least that Ali's is not 3 times better.

Yep, you're right. Sorry, I forgot to update. I was told taxes at the very least, but nothing. UPS France isn't very serious from what I witnessed. I asked for the delivery to be postponed for 2 days because I was told I had to pay. The parcel was in Lyons and went back to Paris (?) for a second clearance release (??). Then it was delivered on a Wednesday but the driver asked if I had asked for delivery on another day so I explained that was the postponed delivery. And he left without a bill. Nothing in the mail so far, so crossing my fingers. How come your package hasn't arrived yet? It left before mine!What did La Poste say? I know this doesn't make much sense, but I took a dislike to Kesi'art since they ignored my e-mails twice. Both were about their lines and the latest was an enquiry about their hypothetical new Christmas line. I might have understood their lack of answer once, if they didn't have a line coming out (the one before that was in 2015 I think?), but now it rubs me the wrong way. I do like most of their products, but if that's what CS is like, ugh. ETA: I have just checked the link you provided. I'm not a fan of the color palette--too much pastel and grey for me. I wish they had stuck to two sticker sheets (one English and one French) and I still don't get why they do not release a French Christmas stamp--I turn to French companies for French language. I do like the woodgrain and Joyeux Noël papers, I think I'll buy them but we'll see. ETA2: Looks like woodgrain album have hit some Cultura stores, you might want to check the one nearest to you! Do you know how wide the spine is please?

I'm waiting to see when the second selection items will actually ship and to discover if my page protectors are ok or if I need replacements. At least I'm not waiting on them for this year.
I need to get my foundation pages done soon - work has just been busy again so haven't had much time!

I love that! I am normally not a pink person, but for some reason I love it for Christmas, especially paired with grey. I think that line is just beautiful! We had a downtown store that used a lot of pink in their Santa Land display- it was very old fashioned, very 50'sso I always used pink Christmas papers for that. I love the little grey lined trees a lot.
