Did anyone else see that the AE team was live a little bit ago on the DD insta account?? I saw a notice and adds for it. It’s July. It was 98° here today. December is very far from my mind.

The caption I saw on IG about it said something about the DD Product Play stuff is on sale from prior years. I didn't click the video.

I'm still in the middle of summer and loving every minute. I swear Amy Gretchen, Laura and one of the other ones were in the same room!? I know Laura lives in Ohio like I do and Amy lives in Washington...

I know Laura lives in Ohio like I do and Amy lives in Washington... It was Jen Schow, who lives near Amy. They must have been visiting Laura in Ohio. I tuned in for a moment at the beginning. I wasn’t that interested. I am done with my 2020 DD. Plus, if I am honest, I am kind of tired of the regulars on the AE/SC teams. I wish they would bring in some fresh faces/talent. The teams seem burned out and just producing their obligated team projects.

I watched it this morning, some lightweight banter while I worked on a layout. Jen and Amy were in the room with Laura, visiting her. Trying to drum up business for the Product Play classes. They also mentioned the Dec Daily digitals were on sale now. I don't think I knew @decemberdaily has its own IG account? Makes sense to separate it out. The big announcement would be Laura Wonsick and Pam Baldwin will be hosting the DD Prep Day.

I still haven't event started my DD2020. I did finally manage to download my wedding photos this week. I think I'm stuck because I did a super tiny outdoor micro wedding in December and it feels like DD2020 needs to be "perfect", which is ridiculous and silly. I'm amazed at how overwhelmed I am with our tiny wedding photos. I can't imagine what I would have done if I'd had a big wedding. I'm pretty sure I bought last year's product play and never watched any of it. Maybe I should and that might inspire me to pull out my December supplies.
I also wonder if the cost will go up this year like OLW did or if she'll keep the price point low.

I am not a crazy Christmas person (too much pressed expectation, it just stresses me out), and haven’t had any illusions of ever doing a DD, but a product play with Laura and Pam - FUN. Dream team duo right there. Laura has such fun energy and Pam is basically a paper wizard.

I still wonder what fallout happened between Krystal and Tazhi - they were joined at the hip, and then just not - with their podcast, the AE stuff, Mighty Network. I saw that Krystal wanted to pursue monetizing, but it feels like there’s more to the story.

I still wonder what fallout happened between Krystal and Tazhi - they were joined at the hip, and then just not - with their podcast, the AE stuff, Mighty Network. I saw that Krystal wanted to pursue monetizing, but it feels like there’s more to the story. I was super into their podcast and loved following both on Instagram, so I am curious too. Based on what I've pieced together in my head, my theory is it had less to do with a falling out between them, but changing priorities and interests. Krystal last year had mentioned wanting to make scrapbooking/content creation a full-time gig. Early this year, Tazhi started posting fewer and fewer Instagram stories involving scrapbooking, but was heavy into knitting. Then she basically went off the radar for almost two months on Instagram. She started sharing layouts pretty consistently for awhile again in late April, but hasn't posted to Instagram since June. I want to be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with Tazhi wanting to take a break or losing interest in scrapbooking (if that is the case). It happens and that's completely fine. But if Krystal is trying to make a living doing this, then she either needed to go solo or find a partner who is as committed as she is. Again, that's just my theory. It may be completely wrong or just a small factor. Regardless, as a listener who loved their podcast and think they are both really talented and creative, I'm bummed, but I wish the both of them the best.

scrappymeg That’s exactly what I think happened. ETA: I’m also really curious how this affects all the DTs Tazhi was on. She just poofed.

We're not friends by any stretch but even when she took a break from instagram she messaged me back when I asked if she was okay, and now she hasn't messaged me back (I sent a message about 3 weeks ago). I hope she's doing okay and is just taking another break.

That has to be incredibly taxing on her physical and mental health.

From what I could see (following on social media) it looked like Tazhi burned out with all of her commitments, just like some worried she would. I think she ramped up a bit too fast and with the demands on her life from nursing (and life) I think she just got totally overcommitted. That can sap anyone’s creativity! It seemed like the Mighty Network and the pod were probably the straw that broke the camel’s back. Krystal seems to be very driven and (over)organized so she might’ve just been pushing too hard on someone who was already under too much pressure. Idk, just my speculation.
I do hope Tazhi is ok. I can’t even imagine the pressure she has been under the past year or so.
And getting boxes of stuff every few weeks with an expectation that you’ll promote it… ugh! Not to mention the pressure of storing all that stuff in a small space.
I have heard Ali Edwards is very loose with “requirements” for her DT - they are not actually obligated to contribute or participate in any projects although I’m sure if you do nothing you won’t be kept on too long. Not sure about AC though.

I think she ramped up a bit too fast and with the demands on her life from nursing (and life) I think she just got totally overcommitted. It was way too much. All of a sudden, she was on every DT. Even for someone who plans to make scrapbooking their full-time job and doesn't work outside the house, this would've been too much. If she still enjoys the craft after recovering from the burn-out, she should go for the designer(s)/brand(s) she really loves only and be super selective. In other AE news, if Ali keeps up with her DD schedule, we should be getting our first DD 2021 sneaks on Monday!

I would guess she’d want to get rid of some of the old stuff (in the sale) before sneaking the new stuff.

I know Laura lives in Ohio like I do and Amy lives in Washington... Amy moved back to Utah. I follow her on You Tube and she's covered it in her Project Life videos. I guess they were in Washington maybe a year before it all went sideways? I can't remember if it was related to COVID or not. I assume that was probably part of it with her husband's job. I get the impression she (and her youngest) are really happy to be back in Utah with family and friends. Oops, screwed up that quote. That's me above talking about Amy moving back to Utah.

Album rings/guts break, defective/damaged product with markdown, million dollar chipboard, “this is hard” sentiment (that’s what she said), people mad about sold out items, stitched felt embellishments….
