[@joannaslaughter4839]

Thank you for being you! I love watching you memory keep and keep it real. Thanks for sharing! And for encouraging me to start scrapbooking again.

I just love your layouts. You have made try more large photos. And I love that burst page. I need to copy that one!

Hi there!! I absolutely 💯 feel the quote you read! I was sick and still had to make the magic happen!! Do you mind sending me where I can find that post you read aloud? I would love to put that in my album!! ❤ love how your album turned out! Beautiful memories for your daughter to look back to!

I so feel this. This was my first year in 22 years where I was not shopping on Christmas Eve or wrapping gifts til all hours. It is a tough job to be the Christmas magic. ❤

@@BeeSteenable it is a tough job being the Christmas magic. This year I felt it strong 7 years in. Of course we are glad to do it all but man I was exhausted for sure this year.

I'm looking at all of the product I have left and thinking I need to do the same -- buy WAY less. I got caught up in the cute when I purchased and then ended up having way less time and doing a very simple December Daily. My other idea is to catch up on many years of Christmas past seeing how much I can use up that way...

I love all the fun DD stuff that comes out every year. But my craft room shows evidence of supplies not used. This year, I bought a few sheets of paper, a couple die cuts, and that's it. This year, I decided I just had to stash bust. It feels pretty good.

[@MomentstoMemoriesbytai]

@@user-yg7dx8ev2x yes! This is what I must do for the next two years to get my Christmas stash under control. Just get the album and a few add on and that’s it. Work it in with what I already have.

[@irinesacosta4683]

Suggestion: make 2 mini albums for your mom and MIL. You can add photos from any year or all 7 years (with Valentina) and you can make a good dent and still fell free to buy the things.

[@MomentstoMemoriesbytai]

@@irinesacosta4683 this is a fabulous idea to use up supplies. OMG. Light bulb moment. Thank you.

I think we are all guilty of buying stuff with good intentions and never use it or can find it!!

[@MomentstoMemoriesbytai]

@@yomamadawg365 true. I think so. I buy with the intention but then once in the middle of the month and trying to stay up to date I never reach for the extra step of stamping or foiling or anything extra. I should really get into foundation pages more to get the crafty stuff done ahead of time.

[@yomamadawg365]

@ I do the same! This year, I got behind… so I just made notes on my days and then went back and did my pages…. I just felt in a hurry to get them done anyway and wouldn’t take time to look for things or do stamping!

[@kathycleriucuzio5245]

I never buy the kit. Way too much stuff and a lot I’ll never use. I pick & choose stamps/albums/special pages, etc., and call it good🤷‍♀️😊🎄

[@MomentstoMemoriesbytai]

@@kathycleriucuzio5245 this will be me next year. You’re right. It’s too much of things I think I will use but never do.
