Birthday Story Kit + April Stories By The Month + OLW Mini Kit #2
Today's the 10th 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 Birthday.
Birthdays are universal and this kit is a perfect opportunity to get some of those birthday stories documented. Use this month as a chance to look back over your life and tell the stories of birthdays you've love, birthdays that might have been more challenging, and how you feel about them overall. Join us as we document birthday stories this month.
Initial story ideas for this theme include:
- Tell the story of a favorite birthday over the years.
- Grab photos over the years from your birthday or a loved ones birthday and tell a bigger story of the person or the ways they like to celebrate their birthday.
- How do you feel about birthdays? Love? Loathe? Write about why you feel the way you do.

Hi Ali! I thought there would be another seasonal paper pack?
Same!
I think it's coming next month!
The initial blog post about the SBTM changes said the January paper pack would coordinate with the first three months (January, February, and March) and the next paper pack would be released with the April kit. No worries, if it’s next month, that’s just what it said initially.

Would it be possible to add the pieces of joy notebook as an add on, the pin is there and I was hoping to be able to add the notebook as well.
Added!

Hi, is there anyway I could add the story stamp just for this month?
Yes! You can order it and then send a message to our Customer Service team to cancel the subscription + just get the one month (select the month-to-month option).

Hi - It looks like there are two different typos in the Stories by the Month kit this month. The "It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life" card is missing the "I" for each of the starting "It's"... and then on the banner strips, there is one that says, "Wishing I could do something other that this right now"... but the "that" word should say "than".
Oh I just noticed that too!! On no, I love that quote on the 6x4 card :(
And... I just found another typo. On the "Celebrating This" card, Easter Sunday is one of the options. However in 2024, Easter Sunday is on March 31st. Not an April celebration.

I would love to see an example of the alpha being used. It would be good to see what it looks like each month.
I would love to see this, also!
Added!
Thanks so much, Ali!

I think Lisa's lesson is missing from the Stories by the month class, I look forward to hers the most as she is very much my style!
Thanks for letting us know! The date to go live was inputted incorrectly - it's all fixed now!

Did AED stop including the digital story kit with the physical kit subscription? Mine isn't showing up in my files this month. I don't recall seeing any notice....
The digital story kit isn’t included with the physical kit subscription unless you subscribe to both the physical kit and the stamp (that’s how it’s been since the beginning).

There were several typos in the Stories by the month kit as already stated above. My April kit also came with two of the same green April Calendar 3x4 cards and no April Three things card which is supposed to be a repeated element all year . Seemingly small things but thought you should know for quality control reasons. If you have already addressed these things somewhere I apologize.
I would send a message through customer service. I got my kit today a received an APR calendar card plus an APR 3 things. I would always compare what you received to what is in the kit.
That said, when I used a posca paint pen to add in the "I' s for "it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me" I felt like a s\houdln't have to. I have been a subscriber for years and I hold Ali to a higher standard. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the feedback! It is definitely not what we want to have happening + are working hard behind the scenes to make sure that our team is slowing down for all steps in production/printing/etc. Whenever you receive a kit with missing items definitely reach out to our Customer Service team - they are super happy to help!
