The tag paper from the Farmhouse line, with the buffalo plaid on the reverse, seems very useful, but everything else in this line is an easy pass.
The charms are cute but not something I have any need for.
I like the addition of the grey to the Christmas line. Otherwise this is exactly like I expected. The reindeer are cute, the Santas are jolly, and the doodlepops are adorable.

It's all adorable, but I don't see myself using much of it.
I love the colours of the Farmhouse line, so those paper packs might be a possibility. I have quite a bit left over of a fall line of theirs from a couple of years ago, and much of this seems like a repeat?

The charms seem expensive for only one charm.
I like the chicken paper in the farmhouse, otherwise nothing I need in either of these.

I think some pieces of Farmhouse might be useful: typically I'm drawn to the papers, but this time I'm liking the stickers and ephemera. The black gingham pumpkins are irresistible to me! However...how often do I use a pumpkin on a layout? I'm going to have to exercise resstraint. I think tinseltime is really cute, but I think I already have similar things. Like justjac says...maybe with a good sale. The charms are really adorable but to do what with? |

I really appreciate the lack of smiles on every element. I added the hens and chicks paper and the ornament Doodle Pop to my cart.

Farmhouse - I really like this one- lots of useful stuff in the ephemera pack and the colors are pretty. Even better, no smiles on everything. I love a lot of the Doodlebug aesthetic but the smiles on every object were terrible. It is so nice with no smiles. The animals are super cute, too. I'll get a lot of this one.
Tinsel Time - Not my thing. The kids are 15, 20, and 21 now so I don't need any cutesy Christmas. I do like the deer paper (of course) so I'll get it and a paper or two to go along with it so I can scrap one page.
Little Charmers - I don't get these- so expensive. They are really cute so they would be neat on a charm bracelet, though. I also picked a lot of cherries looking at those, so they were useful that way.

It's all adorable!
It's hard to tell what the hardware on the little charmers actually looks like. I'm not sure if it would be suitable for use on crochet / sewing projects or not. The charmers look like they'd make cute but pricey zipper pulls for crocheted pouches or sweaters, but I'm not totally sure about that. Or maybe purse / phone charms -- are those still a thing? Haven't seen 'em around much lately, but I haven't been on instagram much.

I don’t hate these! I normally don’t care for the Uber bright colors and juvenile depictions of DD and BB but these aren’t awful!

I like the stamp set in Tinsel time, and some of the sprinkle puffy stickers too. I like a couple of papers in the Fall line.

I struggle with Doodlebug. It’s often way too cutesy for me and I have no pics that would work with it. But I love their reindeer!! I might need to get a little bit just to look at periodically 😂

Farm House - I like a lot of this line. I'm a sucker for black & white gingham. And that chicken paper is just happiness. Tinsel Time - Several nice papers in this one, esp the deer pp. But I don't need any more Christmas supplies. Yet... L.Charmers - Very cute but I don't know what I'd do with them. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

I really like the Petite Prints in the Tinsel Time line...versatile colours, and I like to mix these with other collections as "not quite a cardstock."
There are a few pieces I like in Tinsel Time, but I don't really need them--although I might have to make an exception for the striped acetate and the Doodlepop of the box of ornaments.

It's all very cute, but in being so is all also not something I would have much use for, which tends to be the way of things for me when it comes to Doodlebug. There are a few sheets here and there I could probably use, but nothing I love so much that I'm rushing to add it to my cart.

Agreed; it reminds me of Pumpkin Spice ( here) with peachy-pink & black added to its color palette & (thankfully) without the smiley faces! |

I have been wanting a new fall line from doodlebug. I am excited they released one this year! I also needed (yes, need not want  ) a doodlebug Christmas line. |

The charms seem expensive for only one charm. ... IMHO $5.99/each appears especially ridiculous for the self-promotion I (love) doodlebug charm ( here). |

Smileless icons appeal to those of us who don't care for them, while also allowing those Doodlebug customers who crave the smiles to easily add them to inanimate objects in this collection, if they choose. For example, I own exactly one Doodlebug stamp set, & it includes a smile stamp. |
