You’re just so real and I love it. Thank you for encouraging me to tell all sorts of stories and providing so many options as you go. I’ve followed you for a couple years now and am always inspired. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I feel this in my soul- the mess and all of the feelings about it are very much a part of life in this house. This is another great reminder to keep things real in our documenting.
I took the week after Thanksgiving off work so I could organize my life. My intention was to get ahead on the things that need to be done before Christmas. Since I had so much extra time this year, I leisurely started decorating for the holidays, making Christmas cards, working on foundation pages, setting up my new printer and sewing machine….you get the picture. Today (Day 8) I finished Day 3. My craft room is a mess, no presents are wrapped, and I have yet to send out any of my handmade Christmas cards. Your video resonated with me 100% and I am glad I am in such good company. I guess I should revise my plan for next year or just accept that the Holiday season is going to be a festive mess!
You totally don’t need to clean your stamp blocks 😂 but if you ever wanted an easy way, use a mr clean white sponge. It cleans them so easily! I don’t do it all the time but now! Loving all your spreads. Thank you always for sharing. It’s a part of my December JOY! 😊
You are going to crack up. Yesterday, I almost commented and said, Ali, on your tombstone it should say “she really had her shit together.” Now you have just blown that all to hell with your opener on this. 😂😂😂 I didn’t say it because I decided that was too silly and I always say too much, like right now. But seriously, when I see you getting these videos up so early and being so creative, I wonder how in the world you do it all. My house is clean and organized but it’s often at the expense of my creative time. I don’t think we can have it all together in every area of our life…something has to give. You are inspiring thousands daily so it’s okay if you’ve got some messes going. This was great as always!
It’s a salt holder for the kitchen, as others probably mentioned already. I’ve seen a few you tubers use it. It seems to work great, I don’t craft every day so I worry it might end up a bit smelly or mouldy.
I like to keep my damp stamp shammy in one of those plastic 4x6 photo snap case boxes. Then I can leave the shammy inside without having to handle it, I just open the lid and and wipe my inky stamp in the shammy, which fits perfectly folded in half inside the case. I only need to handle the shammy when I’m rinsing it/rewettting it.
I love that you have pictures, but they are somewhat hidden. I always struggle with that, as I always feel like I don’t wanna have that “ugly” picture in my album 🙈 so this is perfect for days like that
Again, so good! I bought the 8x10 album + the DD kit this year. I missed out on some of the add-ons, but I'm sure I have something in my stash that will work. I'm loving your album so much, that I think I may just have to scraplift the whole thing. My stories will be different, but gosh, your page design is just so great!
I have a mess in my basement where I am keeping all the gifts to be wrapped, along with the stuff I have decluttered and am selling on Marketplace. But the mess is contained to a folding table, so temporary.
Hi Ali! Your album is amazing and on point as always, and I’m loving sharing this season with you as we document our December daily albums!! 🎄🤗 I’m SOOOOOOOO sad I missed the darling Santa stencil, and this is probably a pipe dream, but will the physical stencil be re-stocked? (Hoping for a Christmas miracle on that one 😅)
Hi! It won't be restocked this year. We do have a post available that shows you how you can make your own available here: www.aliedwards.com/2022/10/december-daily-diy-stencils-tutorial
Isn’t this the truth!!! my mess is piling up presents and hiding them from our little eight year old… Need to keep the magic alive. And hoping nobody peeks. Even though I’ve told them not to go into a curtain room😂 having two adult children, an eight-year-old and two parents in the house… and a daughter in Vegas you have to ship to… The presents add up.😊

Thank you, Ali! I can totally relate to this story and I don’t have a big family😂 no transitioning here🤣 It’s just life, isn’t it. Love the page❤
So relatable - I call it chaos but it is just a mess

Thanks for that tip!!
Excellent idea! Thank you for sharing
I use hand sanitizer to clean my clear stamping blocks! It works like a charm! 👍
Thanks for the tip!

Ali, it's a Merry Christ'mess'! 😁❤️💚. I might have to give that 'shaker pocket' pocket a try.
Love that - totally!

You read my mind. Guess what I’m doing today?😂
