Looking forward to mine! I added the morning kit because I wasn't a subscriber then and I'm excited for both kits, though I'll be waiting until sometime in May before I get them đ I'm also looking forward to receiving this and using it together with the mornings kit. I had given up my subscription in January but I had to get this month's kit as I am a night owl and love the evenings.

Same here. I picked up Evening and got the Morning addon. Planning to use for WITL. I wish I had picked up the puffy stars/moons, but that sold out before I made my purchase.
When is the cancellation date?

They are too expensive in the first place and even her sale prices donât make them reasonable to me.

Has anyone been listening to the WITL story chats this week? I havenât had a chance yet.
Iâm loving Aliâs WITL album set up preview. Shows a preview of the digital downloads from the upcoming prep class. The bright colors are so fun. I really love this years kit.

I've been watching the IGTV chats and I am really enjoying them. I have picked up a few useful tips and I enjoy listening to these different women and their views on this topic.

Still waiting on my evening story kit đ tracking says it's shipped but hasn't moved from the facility. Anyone want to take bets that the new kit is released before I get this one? I'm in Canada to so shipping is slower.

I'm trying to be patient....

I'm loving the WIL IGTV posts. I've never done witl before as I had zero interest, but the various chats have inspired me to do one this year. Won't bother buying any product or special album.
Our very own lasteve/legal lady was on this week too.
I like hearing and seeing the team chat and most importantly, I'm glad I don't have to pay!

I ended up listening to the classes. They were ok, nothing ground breaking. One of the classes had issues and it still isn't available so there's that.
Overall, I would give the entire day a 'C'. Nothing horribly bad, but not really awesome either. For me, the crappy digitals is a big deal. I also don't think anything groundbreaking was talked about. But that's just me.
I will say I wish she had included regular people who have actually finished WITL in her chat. Atleast one DT member was vocal about she had never finished an album EVER and to me, that's just not a good look. Was she included because she has a following? I am assuming so. But to have someone in your chat that admits they haven't actually finished the project, ever, is just icky. There are some really inspiring non-DT members out there that have amazing albums and they weren't chosen to chat even though they have more experience. Just feels like she invited her friends to chat vs finding people who are passionate about the project. I don't want to hear how you get burned out after Tuesday and have never gotten past that day. I want to hear about how you are tired by Tuesday and knew that you wanted this project complete, so you stuck with it and pushed through.

If youâre talking about Tazhi, I seem to remember her saying on her podcast that she wasnât going to do WITL or maybe other projects this year because they werenât for her and didnât inspire her; but sheâs on Aliâs DT so it seems like she kind of has to. Iâm not sure whatâs up with her - sheâs been pretty absent lately and seemed to have a bit of an attitude in the chat. I was thinking sheâs probably burned out because she totally overcommitted herself as the âITâ girl being on every team out there. I usually enjoy listening to her and seeing her work.

That was who I was referring to. I would have so much respect for her if she just admits that WITL isn't her thing and just not do it. But to sit on a panel giving advice for WITL is just tacky. I was a fan at first, but agree. I think she has overcommitted and was literally everywhere. Between her attitude lately and all the over consumption of having to have everything, I am ready to cut her from my Instagram. Its just all too much for me.

My review is that this class was worth $5 (to me) and last years was probably worth $20 lol. I havenât listened to the chat from the party or the week of chats yet so I canât say if they offered any valuable insight.
I thought IG offered lots of great inspiration from DT & non-DT members yesterday and prior to that.
As for the digitals: I donât have or use PSE so I honestly donât know. Are you able to change the font of her digital downloads once you have them? I think they are decent and I like the ideas she presented using them, but I can see not wanting that messy look. I liked seeing how everyone used the overlays to make transparencies. I didnât like or get the album bundle so I want to make my own.

I thought the prep day class was worth every penny! I really enjoyed the entire thing - I'm not sure it was anything groundbreaking but I really found it helpful in terms of doing the project this week. It built excitement, and I liked the digitals that were included. Now, it's been many years since I have done WITL so perhaps that's another reason that I liked it so much. I found the chats + prep day to be a great lead into the week. I'm sorry it didn't wow some of you though.
I think that I heard somewhere that they were going to try to include community members in future chat's to broaden the voices. And I hope that's true ...
I also wondered why Tazhi was included since she'd never finished one ... I figured it was because of her following and the idea that even if you've been unsuccessful in the past, it's never too late. I loved hearing from those who have finished (Linda, Morgan, & Jess, in particular).

sleepingbooty you are surprising me....I've been waiting for the comments to fly on how bug-ugly the circle qtrly scrapbook kit is and nothing...is everything ok? In my defense, haven't kept up with the Ali releases lately, Your Honour. *marches over to the AE blog* These kits are just like a lazy visual version of the Story Kits. Pick one shape instead of a word and then ask elementary school kids to do a 2-minute art project representing the shape. Scan the projects, boom, done. "Nested" chipboard shapes. Inked, you little cheap fucker. Gotta admire the semantics.

Between her and BH this week I need a social media cleanse...or scrub.
ETA: Sorry. It's just too much for me.

So that circle kit says you get, â two large nested chipboard circle sets,â but eight sets are shown. Am I misunderstanding something?
