Lisa @frecklepickle made a Christmas movie bingo card. It is for sale in her shop. It is cute but I think $2 is too much. She has a calendar template for 10x8. The comments say it will be available at AE as part of a 10x8 template pack. http://instagr.am/p/CU7r2-pgY6m

The bingo card is cute but I agree with it being too much, especially since it isn't editable! With so many free and easy to use editing sites online, or hell even Word or Paint.. you can make squares for a bingo card and add in text for your own movie ideas.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of families don't want to discuss with their kids why "Bad Santa" is not going to be on their viewing list, eek! If she was offering a set of actual Bingo cards (all different, which I can attest take a little time to put together, especially if they're cute) then I'd be more understanding of charging a couple of bucks. But most crafty folks can do their own version of this using their own favorite holiday movies without too much trouble. That calendar template looks nice though. Also something that can be DIYed but I would be ok with paying a bit to save time on that kind of design work.

Anyone else who bought from AE DD still waiting for a shipping notice with me? Growing a little impatient when I’m seeing tons of happy mail posts on social media haha.

And how about all those non-American Christmas movies out there... 😬 I gladly pay a designer some bucks for a pre-made template. I like paying money to save time when it's well done. But a rigid bingo card with no editing options is a bit ridiculous. Not all scrapbookers watch the same movies or have the same Christmas classics, crazy, right?

What I really want is my order from ACOT. I ordered some Pinkfresh and a couple of other things pre-order. They won't be here until November. Patience is so hard.

Still waiting. Mine's still in "active" - has not shipped yet. I'm not too worried. I'm sure when it takes this long they throw in a couple of little surprises as an apology, right!?

Christmas movies 2021: A KISS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Hallmark Desperate Housewives fans, rejoice! Mike and Susan will be reunited in one of Hallmark's new Countdown to Christmas movies, A Kiss Before Christmas. Real estate developer Ethan finds out he isn't getting the promotion he was counting on. While he seems to have it all at home, wife Joyce and two teenage kids, he laments that being Mr Nice Guy has cost him a lot in life like his career and finds himself wishing he hadn't been so nice... Cue some Christmas magic and the next morning when Ethan wakes up, he finds out what exactly life would be like if he hadn't. No wife, no kids but he is the CEO of his company. But is it the happily ever after he wanted? And if not, how can he convince Joyce that they belong together? He has until Christmas Day to rectify the mistake if he doesn't want the change to be permanent...

Shockingly, I received my AE kit today! Overall I’m pleased with it. There are definitely elements I will love playing with.
I’m not crazy about the pleather hearts because the writing seems cartoonish in comparison to the rest of the kit. Also, the little fabric strips with phrases are quite fragile. I can see them fraying quite easily if they are handled too much. Not sure what the best way to reinforce them is.
I hope everyone gets their stuff soon!

Overall I really like them and am looking forward to using them. Buuut they're seriously orange,not red. Think tomato soup not fire engine. Oh well (shrug) A lot of my AE orders will list as active long after its arrived. Hopefully things will start to show up in spite of the official status. (fingers crossed)

You guys are killing me!!!! I have not had an advent calendar since I was a kid. But I soooo want a tea one!! I originally got my first tea advent Calendar the year after my sister died. ( not the first Christmas after but the next year ) So my remaining sister & I could have a cup of tea “with” each other each day in December even though we are an hour & a half apart. Then a couple of years ago I added in my kids because we were also apart. It was so we could all be having the same new tea each day and chat about it on the phone or via text. It’s becoming quite the tradition. I added my nieces this year. It gives a feeling of connecting on something each day.

Shipping notice 10 days ago and no movement. I started a conversation. I paid the pricey $22 international shipping and was led to believe it would be a priority. Very disappointed.

No shipping notice for my DD order. But my Nov SOTM and story kits have shipped, tracking say they will be here Thursday. How can that have shipped before my DD order?!

You should be able to prevent more fraying with transparent nail polish. 😊

I ended up getting Product Play. I enjoy classes. I think I’m skipping prep day this year. I never follow along on the day of and the past two years, I’ve felt like it’s not interesting or fun to watch people talk with little agenda. I agree, I did not like last years prep day. I’m going to wait until I see the digitals to decide but I doubt it. Last years was just too chatty.

I got my kit yesterday and inspected everything. I really like it and I'm even more excited for December. I got the main kit, the star kit, plastic frames and extra paper with some other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head. I like the paper a lot. The color scheme is more up my alley with traditional colors that are more muted than in your face Christmas-y. After seeing everything IRL I'll definitely be doing product play because I want to use EVERYTHING. Having new ideas will help that since I can definitely see myself gravitating towards my usual faves and leaving things behind.
