Hopefully they'll get back to you! They are usually very good about replying to messages so I'd be surprised if they don't. Fingers crossed they can find a replacement! They'd have to redo the entire stamp set. The stamp shown in the February email was missing the lowercase o and w and the number 5. Wow! I can’t believe no one noticed it!

I thought it said "Monster Mask"! Don't know why I have masks on the brain. 🤔 Now that would be timely! Someone needs to run with it!

As I’m still working to finish up 2020’s JYC/DD, I need to remind myself that I DON’T NEED ANY NEW CHRISTMAS SUPPLIES!!!!
(Oh, who am I kidding? Christmas and Disney are my Kryptonite!)

What does everyone think of the newest quarterly scrapbook kit? I love the circles! Im not a fan...but most of my dislike comes from me thinking its overpriced. I agree. It’s overpriced and I don’t LOVE it, so pass.

It's good to hear that the CS issues that were prevalent in the KPS days are over. I don't think we've had any comments about people not hearing back from her CS since Paper Person was launched? Now hopefully she’ll also get her QA/QC issues under control too, so we won’t need to contact CS.

I’m at that point where I’m trying to evaluate what I’ve missed and get photos of that stuff. Loading the dishwasher. Our vehicles. My closet. I will be glad to be done though.

Nope. I’ve always deleted the zip files as soon as I unzip them.

Well, I got the vaccine kit, and the alphabet stamp and numbers, since they coordinated with the kit. I'm not wild about this month's color scheme. My wallet isn't happy I then went shopping with FYC today too. I like the designs in the vaccine kit, but I really don’t like the colors so I passed. I did get the vaccine kit last month though, otherwise I would have bought this one reddish and silly putty color be damned. Same for me. I passed due to the colors. I can recreate some of the cards I like in photoshop with colors I’ll actually use. The vax stamp set was so-so. I did pick up IACB’s FYC kit today though.

I have to say this - it’s only May and they’ve got Christmas lines already?!!!!!!!! I can’t with that.
The Halloween line is cute, but not really different from a lot I already have, so I don’t need any of it. The Christmas line description got me excited when it said traditional colors with some deep blue...but turns out to be light and dark teal...I would NOT call that deep blue. I’ll pass on the gnomes. Cute, but not usable for me and my style.

Speaking of Geralyn, is she taking a break from In A Creative Bubble? It’s been awhile since she added to her shop. Someone asked on IG and she said she hopes to get back to it soon. I was surprised she didn’t even give a freebie or discount for iNSD. I’ve been hoping she’d have something new I could use for WITL.

There's Granny's coleslaw recipe that was delicious but my mum, my sister, and I have all failed at making even with granny's recipe. Now THERE is a story to document! Do you suppose she left out something when she wrote down the recipe? I have heard of some people doing that by accident--and on purpose LOL. I’ve always heard the secret ingredient is Grandma’s spit. 😉 (As in when she licks her finger to taste, etc)

Damn, I should have waited to preorder that set! The discount doesn’t apply to new/recent items and some other exclusions (because I had the same thought, but then read the fine print).

I wish the colors coordinated better with the other vaccination kit. Or I wish she did the whole same design/two colorways thing that she did with the KP shop. Yes! I would love a black and white option for this one. Not a fan of the salmon/peachy pink.

I really don't care for it when people say "You're not his mother" when referring to the father of your children. I think he should honor you for being they fantastic mother you are for being the mother of HIS children and be a role model,to his kids on how to say thanks mom for all the love and care you have given as a mom. Say that to your husband. I need to say it my husband! Thank you for saying this! I was going to post the same thing. She may not be his mother, but she is the mother of his children, and he should honor that. Plus, I’m guessing, as most mothers and women, she carries the huge silent load for the care of the child(ren) and other household responsibilities.

Or just mentioning you scrapbook. "I wish I had the time!" I knew someone like that, and it annoyed me every time. There was always an undercurrent of "I'm a mum and you're not" to the way she said it too. She'd conveniently forget that she was a SAHM and I worked around 50hrs a week. At first I ignored it, then I started saying things like "we all have 24hrs in the day", or "I make time for crafting". I was this close to following it up with "you sit on the couch watching trashy tv for hours at a time. I do this." Thankfully I moved, and don't see her anymore. I just say “I don’t really watch TV, so I use that time for my hobbies.”

No. Not to an indoor event like that where there is no requirement that everyone be vaccinated. A crop with my best friends who I know are vaccinated, yes. Me neither. I don't trust strangers. We've seen too many horrible people this past year. So very true! And it’s not just strangers that I don’t trust anymore either.

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 you’re talking about Tazhi, I seem to remember her saying on her podcast that she wasn’t going to do WITL or maybe other projects this year because they weren’t for her and didn’t inspire her; but she’s on Ali’s DT so it seems like she kind of has to. I’m not sure what’s up with her - she’s been pretty absent lately and seemed to have a bit of an attitude in the chat. I was thinking she’s probably burned out because she totally overcommitted herself as the “IT” girl being on every team out there. I usually enjoy listening to her and seeing her work.

I finally did it!!! 50/50 (round 1)! I fell off the low-spend wagon after January, but still pleased to have completed 50 pages and am more mindful about the purchases I did make.
Now to jump in for round 2, and be more serious about sticking to my low-spend. Should hopefully be easier with iNSD behind me. 😁 I at least want to make it through the end of June.

I’m undecided. I’m fully vaccinated, and my immediate family is nearly there. I’d like to see how things progress with the variants and the timing for any boosters. I’d be more comfortable doing the crop than the shopping, at least for Expo since they give you a lot of space at the crop (not so for CKC), but the booths are cramped and VERY close quarters.

Ok just a quick question. Last night I sorted and printed my photos for January. I've decided to do a monthly collection of pictures. But with that said, I went to Pinterest and looked for pocket page ideas. And it seemed like all the Pinterest layouts were still one pocket page = one event. Whereas I want to do a random assortment of photos in one pocket page. Does that make sense? If I wanted to scrapbook only one "idea" at a time, I would just scrapbook the traditional way. One page at a time. Does anyone do a more random type of page with an eclectic mix of photos? Would you be willing to share one of your pages? Just so I can see how you've done it? I would really appreciate it. I just need to think this out in my head before I start putting my page together. flic.kr/p/2kXfg57flic.kr/p/2kXfg5xI'm a total noob over here so I'm not sure how to add photos TO the post, but here are two photos of a random week in our world (two photos because one of the bottom left photos has a flip up, so I showed both). This is nothing special, artistically speaking, but I'm so glad to have this "normal stuff" documented! Love how you captured the Bernie memes.

The covid Things Are Looking Up stamp set is cu-ute!! Celebrating our family jabs by preordering it. 🥳 Those stamps are adorbs, I pre-ordered straight away. Couldn't help myself! Forgive me, fellow SC refugees, for I have sinned. I got my first dose of Pfizer-BioNTech yesterday (happiest surprise in the last 15-ish months) so I'm celebrating with some online shopping like honeypea. I preordered too. Our governor is pushing opening back up and returning to offices and lots of places are lifting restrictions, so it will help me document. DH and I are fully vaccinated now, and DS will get his second shot this week, so a big relief there.

Still waiting on my evening story kit 😕 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. Mine never showed as moving in shipping until the day it arrived earlier this week.

I completely agree with you. And it is why I very rarely share anything online anymore. Just like in every other area of life now a days, people think their way is right and if you don't do it their way, well, then you're wrong. And not only are you wrong, they will tell you about it. No thanks. I do what I do for me, period. ^^This. Exactly this. It’s not just scrapbooking, it’s pervasive. Tolerance and common decency and manners are rare these days. So many people can’t see beyond themselves or be bothered to see someone else’s perspective. It makes me sad.

I’ve received everything I ordered plus some extra, but I don’t intend to ever order from her again. It’s sad, because she is very talented, but that’s not how you treat your customers. She continues to do fb lives, and I don’t understand it, but people send her “stars” and sprinkles, which from what I gather is money?
I’m sorry for those who still haven’t received orders.
