December Daily 2022 MEGAAA thread

Thanks for your review. I didn't want to spoil it but now I don't want it at all. So maybe I will watch it.

Is there a good nightmare one this year?

I got the book last year and the Funko one before that.

If anyone gets the main kit and wants to sell the:

Still Merry and Bright Circle
One felt circle

I'd buy. Let me know.

Thanks to @skellinton I just bought the Funko pop Star Wars advent calendar. Wal-mart had the best price.
The characters are in Christmas outfits. It has got to be good.

I just watched the vid for the advent and it's really just.. hm.

The envelopes look wonderful and are definitely reusable -- along with the packaging it comes in. So if you love the idea of opening something new each day and the price point isn't an issue by all means yes! get it! But if you're looking for a deal or worthwhile $$ wise.. this ain't it imo.

Spoilering because I mention a specific thing from one of the days -

I had two last year, the one with envelopes and the pop one so I saved the pop up Christmas tree one for this year and a pop one that is different, let me see if I can find the link.  

If anyone wants to sell the 1-31 numbered strips from the main kit I will be happy to buy them!

Very Very fun to watch and make the list. Lots of things bubbling in my head. So I got the advent calendar last year and enjoyed the surprise of it and also used some, but not all of the stickers and only used a few envelopes. I like some of the items in this years, but then I thought about it being $40 and Liz's entire kit is $27 and am asking myself which one would I use more of. The Advent feels more like a fun gift, but end of day, Liz's kit would probably get way more use at a lower price point.

After watching the video a few. times, I think the main kit is a yes. I will use those 4x4 cards cut down (I love the font) and most of the kit looks pretty usable for my style. I typically work on current year and old DD's during the same time frame, so I can easily pop some of these product into older albums if they don't fit in with my 2022 theme.

I love the woodland and messy circle stamp set and can't decide if I want the physical and digital of it or just digital.

I am a sucker for the paper die cut inserts, 6x8 transparencies and the 3x8 card set, but then I just looked through my stash and I have plenty of all 3 from prior years. Ugh - so for those, I am forcing myself to use at least 50% of my stash before I can buy any new stuff. If they sell out, then so be it.

I have last year's FaLaLa Album in hand, but I do love the new JOY one - can't decide whether to keep FaLaLa for later so show restraint and use it now.

Leaning towards the large die cut pack and the specialty papers but only if I commit to a strong Kraft theme/element throughout the album. Never done that and kind of like the idea of it. Anyone ever done that? Probably Kraft + Black and White with some color pops.

I own the Felicity Jane chipboard #s like the new Ali ones. I like Ali's font better, but I can't justify another similar set.

Yes to plastic stars.

Stitched heart pockets are likely a yes. I loved the ones in the WITL kit and they all got used.

Plastic and chipboard trees are a maybe.

Everything else is a no so far. And, unless someone comes up with an amazing Number set, Ali E may be my only DD spending this year.

Unsure about the black felt #s. I used the White and Red ones in previous years. Still have some so debating if I really need another set.

I haven't gotten a main kit in awhile, and I totally choked at the $60 price. That said, I like it a lot, so I'll probably get it + a 6x8 album.

I loved the advent calendar last year, so I appreciate the comments about how much of a let down it is this year...I think I'll watch the spoiler video.

I'm glad I hate the typewriter sentiments this year. TOTALLY nonsensical...even if they were pulled from pop culture. A lot of it just doesn't work out of context.

I just went to the AE website and put 1 6X8 album in my cart.
Shipping was almost $11.

So if you're getting an album and something else, the $12 shipping is what they're charging.

If you're just picking up a couple of add-ons, it's too much.

I want that floral album but I'm just so bummed about how expensive everything has gotten.

And I'm bummed with everyone's reviews on the advent calendar because it made me happy last year even though I had to throw the star shaker away. It split open and the glitter was everywhere. I should have washed it in the sink and done something cool with it that did not involve glitter but I did not have it in me.

I just watched the spoilers. I really enjoyed last year's (and didn't watch the spoilers then). 

I don't know if I would truly REGRET my money spent. But it's not as compelling or exciting at all.

Yes, their shipping went up when USPS raised prices in June:( I do not think they or SC have shipping less than $6 now:( I personally think $12 flat rate is not that bad for a heavy package many will get. FJ and CT charge more than that but i agree with many they should have had free shipping for $100+ Purchases. I did not buy stamps from a few AE releases because they are expensive as is and then after you add shipping and tax, the stamp is becoming almost $40 and I have a lot of untouched stamps in my stash that are dead expensive weight at this point:)

Wow - I stopped going to that FB group, but just went there and a ton of ppl want that JOY album.  I’m guessing something new will get unexpectedly snapped up quick.  Not sure what though.  Definitely the plastic stars and felt numbers. Stencils?  Messy circle stamps?
