I loved it. loved the swag/freebies they included. One of the best quality gifts that won't end up in landfill. We got a nice pouch printed with one of their washi design and a painting brush holder that is faux leather. Brush holder is versatile enough to fit different sized brushes.
I also like that they included essentials items which we pretty much used in all classes in some or the other way. they had 2 essentials dies and a pack of metallic beads. Other general item included was a foil plate in a nice leafy design. I have a hot foil machine but learnt to do embossing using hot foil plate (I would not have done dry embossing using it otherwise).
For instructors, Laura was my absolute favorite. She cracks me up. Product included in her class were pretty cool. Loved all the other classes as well. I was nervous about watercolor class with Emily but she was very nice at teaching beginners like me. I would need a lot of practice to get to a level where I like my watercoloring but loved what Emily taught. Pinkfresh also included 3 watercolor paper sheets and they are awesome! It's a nice quality paper made in Germany. Can't wait for them to release it so I can buy a full pack.
overall the experience was totally worth it for $199. I actually found their event cheaper compare to SCT and C9 because alot more products were included in the class kit. I would definitely do it again when they plan their next one. The owner did mention in the group that they are planing their next event already including one for scrapbookers.

I did not craft along. I ended up having my DD here. I did watch the videos but did not craft the project yet for most classes. I crafted along with the last class.
I thought the supplies for the classes were great. I like pink fresh stuff, it’s just normally a huge splurge for me as I feel their prices are a bit high. It’s the kind of thing where I’ll buy it at my LSS for that no questions asked because then it supports my LSS, but I can’t seem to fork over that to an online store. I’m cheap.
But, for this event, I felt we did get our money’s worth for the $199. I don’t know, I guess throwing in the classes and the group added value for me. I love all the products. The instructors were great, very helpful, in fact are still answering questions online in the group. I’m enjoying myself slowly going thru each class and crafting my projects.
I would do it again. Absolutely I would do it again if when they have it it fits in my budget I’m there.
The only thing they could have done better, and mostly for themselves & their sales, was to have the inks available to purchase ahead of time. But like everyone else they are stuck with supply chain issues. Especially for the mini inks ( I know ranger is also having a huge issue with their minis I don’t know what it is but minis are hard to come by ) but they were cool about people posting conversion charts to other brands etc. so it was fine. And I’m not a ‘it has to exactly match’ kinda girl anyway so I was fine
