Oh!! I know this is a "Gimme", but maybe it could be the "Free Spot" in the middle of the board: star shapes in the main kit? /cackle

I feel like we should create our own DD BINGO cards. Examples of boxes could be: website crashes on release day, misspelling/misquote, the word "RAD", video/photo of a cat, mini kit by PP... This is fun! 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…. People being chastised for "complaining" about scrapbook supplies on Facebook followed by negative comments being deleted on Facebook. Too much Ali's handwriting. Some word not looking like the word it is supposed to be. CHR IST MAS and other words broken up in annoying ways.

We should place bets on how many times the word SO is in the kit. SO loving this. SO very thankful. SO. SO. SO. SO f*cking over SO.

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. Me too!!

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. It felt like that went really hard for a second and then it all disappeared. Pure speculation on my part, I suspect Tazhi is all in hard at the beginning but because she has another life involving fulltime work, sticking at it isn't (can't be?) her strong point. Krystal I suspect is the marathon. I loved their podcast so I wish it could've stuck

The way she became hyper knitting weaving looming fiber person out of the blue and went zero to 60 with it in a flash gave me pause. I’ve known people like this IRL and they have a hard time.

I looked and was tempted by a couple of kits that I hadn't gotten but felt like they would cute enough for the sale price but shipping is *so* high! I'm not sure if they are worth it. Its the age old dilemma...do you buy older stuff to sorta save money on something that you passed on in previous years, still paying high shipping. Or wait to see what is offered this year...with either a flat rate shipping fee (which is still high to Canada) taking the chance its not something you are wowed by. Or wait until the end of October to see what FJ offers...still with high shipping. I feel like I'm screwed either way! Or there is option #3 and buy Vicki Boutin's new Christmas collection and make up my own DD kit.

A lot of items in the DD sale are at the same price they were before the flash sale. So, you know, regular sale price. I bought those 4x4 Brandi Kincaid cards from the 2018 Kids' kit at $1 before, too. The HSN kits were at the same price before the sale as well. Yeah, as expected, unimpressive.

Nothing for me. I don’t do DD, so don’t need a gaggle of supplies. If FYC puts out a cute kit, that’ll be plenty for my needs.
I did a looksie through the sale and continue to be amazed at how unimpressed Ali’s DD stuff is and the price asked for it. Like those Kraft “tags”. A handful of crappy kraft paper rectangles with a couple notched corners and a hole punched for $10 originally? I just think it’s insane. I could recreate those in ten minutes with a paper grocery bag.

I’m considering the green 3x8 album, but with shipping it’s $20. Not much of a sale. And, I don’t need it…

SO. SO. SO. SO f*cking over SO. I totally agree! Pure speculation on my part, I suspect Tazhi is all in hard at the beginning but because she has another life involving fulltime work, sticking at it isn't (can't be?) her strong point. Krystal I suspect is the marathon. I loved their podcast so I wish it could've stuck Yeah, this is what I suspect as well. She's very passionate right away about something then fizzles because she has a super high stress job so her down time might be just chilling vs creating all the things. Whatever the situation is, I hope she's doing well and is just taking time that she needs.

They put together a separate AE Design team for December Daily. I am glad to see some new talent for inspiration.

Shipping to me when the outdoor travel set was released was $9 and some change. Today its only $5 something. Same green album going to the same address. Nothing extra added. I dont understand.

The Brandi Kincaid kids kit for $5 includes the 4X4 album. I would like to order several to use for gifts but I’m sure the shipping will be crazy high.

I wonder whether Virginie will (be allowed to) use some French language products in her DD spreads. Kari's project should be a nice change for the minimalists. It's also really nice to see Amanda back in the DT saddle, too. I want to see her new kitty be all kinds of cute and mischievous in her DD pictures this year! ETA: I would love for Kari to design a mini kit. Make it happen, TPTB!

What the actual Zeus....??
Thought the joyful bundle looked pretty decent for 20. Put in the cart. Added chipboard.
Shipping totalled 55.
Umm... nope get that chipboard out!! Shipping did come down. To 30 😵
I don't think I can hit go ...especially as it will take 5 months to actually arrive

Will the word “hello” ever go away? And “forever”. Poor Marcy.

Poor Marcy. LOL. Can’t hear her name without visions of ink splotches dancing through my head. I was thinking along the lines of “books forever”, “twinkle lights forever”, “laughter forever”. Oh, and my favorite switch up “sunsets forever and ever”. 😵💫😵💫

I made the mistake of watching DD flip throughs today and now I really want that green 3x8 album again . Adding them to my cart tells me there's ~15 available and it's been on sale for ages but I think more people will see it on sale and grab it as December kits are being revealed in the next month. Ahhhhh lol

I’m curious what format Ali will go with. She’s been really into trying new things lately, so I’d guess she’d not do another 6x8.
But her groupies will want to do what she’s doing, so going cheap and simplistic with a TN or something really might not benefit her.
I don’t do DD, but I like seeing her process videos.
