Also wanted to add that if the border on the schedule for December is a sneak of this years dd kit I am VERY safe and will definitely be stash busting again this year! You had me scared! That border is paper from this year's kit. I have it but I bought all the paper this year so I'm not sure what kit it was in. I'm really hoping that I can do WITL this year. It will be in the Fall. The very first year I did WITL it was 2014 and it was in the Fall and it is so magical to look back on it. I think my daughter was in kindergarten so we got photos walking to the bus stop. I just don't know where we'll be with the house reno and if I'll have time. That project is a lot for sure. I documented the week the house went on the market and our offer was accepted so what a fun follow up. |

Yeah, last years calendar border had the paper coordinated with all the story kits (except Dec). Not sure what is happening this year- Jan border shows paper that’s not in either Jan kit, Dec shows paper from last year dd extra paper pack, and I identified paper from the start kit and Jan SBTM in other random months so clearly there’s no pattern.
I thought they said DITL was September and WITL is May (exact week TBD) with March product release to make sure everyone reduces their stuff in time for documenting.

If anyone subscribes to Just Write can you tell me if you are happy with it? I find myself needing to write more but need topics to write about. Can you give me an idea of the last few prompts have been?

I still have 3 unused Story Play kits from last year so I have no business saying this, but her themes sound really good for this year…Read/love/food/DITL.
If I can at least use one of last years before the new ones are available, I’m totally getting them again. lol

Ok I’ll definitely let you know if I decide to sell. The one I’m not really feeling (ironically) is Facts & Feelings. |

Anyone know if we can stack codes? I have the $5 off for the survey still.

Can you give me an idea of the last few prompts have been? I subscribed last year. I think it was fine. I cancelled because I fell behind and I’m also trying to go sub free in 2024. The last few prompts were purple, treat, circle, cheer. I think even if you get a strange sounding one, potato, after you read the prompt you can come up with lots of ideas. My favorite thing was when they had a Just Write subscriber day. That was really great. I thought that it was a class I could go back to in my files but I can’t find it. I don’t see that on her schedule for this year but hopefully they do it again….I would probably sub again just for that. |

I looked back in my email, and it was a recorded Zoom, so they sent the recording to subscribers via email after the event. I remembered it being a class and was missing it under My Classes too, so it was going to bother me if I didn’t find it! |

Story Play sneaks are out, I received an email yesterday. Looks like another b&w album and each of the 4 themes packaged in Kraft envelopes, with separate stamps being sold. A blog post coming next week then the kits go on sale Friday. I’m definitely interested.

I finally figured out how to fast forward those 😂 The kits are great. I was hoping to resist FOMO buying them since I still haven’t opened the last Foodie & Read kits, or any of last years Story Play kits from her 🤦🏼♀️ but I don’t know that I will be able to Ha! I like the look of the album but I’m not getting it. I haven’t been happy with the quality of the albums lately. The DD albums were not great. Really wish they would bring back some linen albums with different colors. The yellow & pink linen albums from past WITL are two of my favorites that I have. |

Thank you, I just went and fast forwarded so I could watch the part with the kits. I think I started watching the live earlier but had to log off early.
I love the kits! Definitely on my list, but maybe not the album. I have been loving the 6x8 ones from SB.com that are faux leather in all different colors.

I want the album a lot but I forgot there have been quality issues- I haven’t purchased an album from her since last year and it sounds like they went downhill since then. Darn. I’ll probably get it anyway. Besides the album I’m interested in the food kit and day in the life. I would want two of the stamps except they are so small - I bought one of the stamps from story play last year and have never used it because the stamps are smaller than I envisioned.

The only one that mildly tempts me is the reading kit. But I have so many other reading kits that I think I can pass.

Citrus Twist has 6x8 linen albums with the larger spine and 6 rings in the same configuration as AE, are there are several gorgeous colors to choose from! They also have 4x8 TN size (the original). |

Does anyone remember a January or early Feb. sale?
I have started Project Life for the first time and realize that while I have a lot of stuff, I don't have a lot of stuff for this kind of scrapbooking.
I have a cart full of older kits, and album, and some page protectors.

I placed my story play order - was able to use my survey code for $5 off which made my feel better about shipping (as I wasn’t going to buy enough for the free shipping). I ended up getting the album and the love story and foodie kits. In the end I decided I didn’t like enough of the day in the life kit and if I did want to add DITL to my PL I didn’t need the kit to do it.

When the first sneak came out, I thought I was going to just buy the bundle!! But looking at everything on the blog, I ended up buying the DITL Kit, DITL stamp, new album, the album with days of the week on it, and some "around here" plastic phrases.

I bought it all. I couldn't help myself! I just loved it all so I just did it! And I'm feeling so inspired by these kits!

Do we know if stamps are polymer or the cheap acrylic?

I think I’d like to play along with the story play days, I really like the themes they’re doing. But those kits do not appeal to me at all. I’ll be using stash to do these projects.

I am not buying anything, even though I thought I would buy it all. I took time to watch the kits video this morning and thought if I could use half a kit easily, I’d place an order.
I love the idea of the kits and the themes are awesome, but since I scrapbook 12x12, the 6x8 just doesn’t work for me.
I’m bummed, so I may need to go to my local Ollie’s tonight and see if they’re the new TM.
