Begin Story Kit™ + February 2022 Stories By The Month Kit

Today's the 13th of the month and that means a new Story Kit, Story Stamp, and Stories By The Month kit. This month we are focusing on stories related to the theme of Begin.  

This month we are celebrating and documenting those moments in our lives that signal a beginning. Whether it’s a small step or a giant leap, there’s likely a story there worth telling. Join us this month as we excavate our own stories of beginning or beginning all over again.

Initial story ideas for this theme include:

1. Tell a story of a time where you had to start over. What was it like to begin again?

2. Being a beginner can challenge us in the best possible ways. Document a time when you were a beginner (especially as an adult) and how that made you feel.

3. Tell a story of beginning by documenting what it looked like, sounded like, and felt like.

PLEASE NOTE: This month's kits are in the warehouse and will ship on our normal schedule. Subscribers will be updated on the shipping of last month's kits sometime this week. Thank you again for your patience as we navigate supply chain issues.

ADD ON OPTIONS 

Subscriber Add On options this month include a 4x6 Planner Stamp Set, a set of plastic abbreviated months of the year, a set of adhesive-backed fabric numbers, and a set of transparent details cards (use a slick writer to write on top). 

Add On options are available to all Story Kit™, Story Stamp™, and Stories By The Month™ subscribers (this excludes Digital Story Kit/Story Class subscribers since you don't have any part of your subscription shipped already). Current and new subscribers can select + purchase Add-On's via your new drop-down menu access under your user name in the top right corner of the site: you need to do this before the 15th of the month in order for them to ship with your kit. Depending on product availability subscribers may be able to purchase the Add-On's after the Add-On period has ended and regular shop shipping rates will apply because they will ship separately from the kit.
