I'm really enjoying the classroom content even though Savor isn't quite what I expected. Nolana is so dang creative.

It looks like she is working on her PhD, plus she has a little one at home. She and Jennie Rey are my favorites, for different reasons. |

Ali had the pieces of Joy release yesterday. Anyone get anything? Nothing for me as I dont do this project. I did! I bought the notebook and stamp set, as well as the Play notebook which was on sale. I have not done this project before, but I am excited to focus on JOY for a week and possibly work on some of the other notebooks in the series this year. I am also excited to use the Joy stamp set in my December Daily and other projects. |

I had decided not to get it but the joy stamp sold out really fast and now that it’s going to come back for a presale I think I’ll grab it. I also had the idea to use in December daily and I’d use it in my project life and WITL. I won’t do the actual project though- but I might someday as I have almost all the stamps I think.

I bought the notebook and pin (I remove the shaft of the pin and stick it to the front of the notebook with red line tape) - I’ve completed the other four tn’s in the series and I love using these notebooks as they are a small, easy to complete (technically only seven layouts) project.
My favourite thing to do is to line the larger/full pages with my favourite papers in my hoard that I “can’t use” as they’re too pretty - this way they are featured. I’ve also enjoyed using them as a place for some of my childhood photos and stories that are a bit random - no 73773 photos a day back in the time of film cameras that’s for sure!

Yes, I bought everything from the release. I’ve been a fan of this collection since its inception. It’s easy and small but still meaningful to me. Like @ig I like TN’s to use up hoarded paper. Also I usually like to do a layout or mini book for July Joys so the stamp set will be useful.

I bit the bullet and bought one of each of the mystery boxes - shipping for me was only $14usd which is a steal. Happy to detail what’s in them as they’re all the same when I get them but I think usa peas might get theirs way before I do 🤭

Leilani from Leilani scraps works in the pieces of home notebook on her patreon and it *almost* made me want to do these projects but idk, I don’t really know how to do a TN in a way that works for me. |

I got my $50.00 mystery box. I did not get a golden ticket. I received 3 kits (2 SBTM, 1 Story Kit), and 2 two bags of loose embellishments. So not worth the price tag at all. I hate that I fell for another mystery box sale, they are never worth it.

That really stinks, especially since SBTM kits have been less than $10/each in previous sales, and the SK sale price is usually $15ish. |

Lynn0117, I feel like you took one for the team.
That’s so disappointing but I appreciate you reporting back. Honestly, even Paper Person box sale yielded a better offering.
And that’s saying something!

In my opinion.....mystery boxes, grab bags, surprise gift with purchase, etc... are usually unsold and unwanted merchandise, that a company is trying to make one last ditch effort at making whatever money they can on. |

It’s so sad that the $14 shipping for anything more than a sticker sheet had me not caring what was in the boxes 🤭 Aussie peas are suffering all the time in the postage department ie I’d love to buy some of hebas disc bound notebook covers but postage is $20usd each. Each.
Btw as a non usa pea I don’t get the “remembering I-95” under my name, what is that in reference to?

Okay peas my $100 and $50 mystery boxes arrived. In the one box. Which makes knowing what was in the $50 box and what was in the $100 box impossible to figure out unless I compare notes with someone else who ordered!
Items not mentioned previously that I did receive were-
- felt flags
- buildable album
- pens
- witl and ditl and dd and Halloween release items
- one of the newer story kits
- puffy stickers
- various notepads
- a journal
- papers 6x8 and 12x12 from a scrapbook kit
- a large chipboard alpha set (like thickers)
Happy to confirm exact items received if any peas want to pm me if interested. I love all the pretties, so although I now have some duplicated items which is annoying I’m okay what I paid due to the super cheap postage cost. Also happy with some of the items as I was on the fence with purchasing them and now I have them so I suppose it was meant to be?
Would be a great box if you check the sales section on the website and like what you see as there are many items from that list 🤔

I was tempted to order - and also Heidi Swapp's mystery box - but I'm trying not to spend any money right now. I think I would have been happy with either box but I'm also okay with passing them up. I did want 2022's Halloween release from AE but it was sold out when I went to buy it, so it would have been fun to get that in the box (if that's what your Halloween items were). |

Well, this will be the first time in 2.5 years I have skipped the SBTM kit. I really dislike the April kit. I don’t like that lined font and for some reason I have a strong aversion to that “painterly” font as well. I’m already tired of the repeated cards (currently celebrating and the three things - esp since we had it last year, too!). This kit doesn’t seem as PL friendly with the large die cuts- all the banners would need a 4x6 pocket. The only thing I’m sad to miss is the sticker sheet with the label tabs— love those things!!! I considered buying the kit just for those. 😂 Oh the plus side, the birthday kit was cuter than I expected- I figured I’d skip it but I liked it so I’m getting it.
It’s a great month to pick up a bunch of $10 kits for no shipping (for subscribers) if you need any! I guess I’ll just stash bust for April PL and I’m kinda of happy about it anyway because those are usually my favorite pages.

I don’t like that lined font and for some reason I have a strong aversion to that “painterly” font as well. I had to take a double take at the cards with the painterly font - maybe I've watched too many crime shows, but the writing and the color of the letters made me think someone had dipped their finger in blood to write the word "story." Still holding strong on no scrapbook purchases so far this year. |

I thought I would like the birthday kit a lot more than I do. I think it’s the colors. Those balloon font cards are a miss for me. Not sure if I will unskip or not.
I like the stamp but I’ve decided I’m going to pick up stamps at sales instead of suscribing. They’ve had some decent sales this last year. I do really like the add on alpha set with both upper & lower case.

Did anyone notice that one of the 3x4 cards in the SBTM kit has an error? Well, it's an error if you want to use it in 2024. It's the card that lists the April holidays and Easter is included in that list. Easter in 2024 is March 31.

I hate that I fell for another mystery box sale, they are never worth it. I'm sorry it wasn't that great for you! But I'm glad you really liked it. I was hoping it was exactly what you said it was. And with shipping not so bad for me, I just will keep picking up sale things when I see them or like the price. Well, this will be the first time in 2.5 years I have skipped the SBTM kit. I really dislike the April kit. I don’t like that lined font and for some reason I have a strong aversion to that “painterly” font as well. I LOVE the April kit, well, everything but the weird painting font. I don't hate it but it's a bit weird for sure. I love everything else and it makes me really excited for the kit to arrive. I have no use for an ampersand card or the hashtag. I will try to come up with some ideas for them -- or just cover up the symbols with one of the massive die cuts. I do not mind the size of them because I like layering. I put the work kit in my order because I could document work stuff in PL with bits and pieces of that kit here and there. The colors didn't seem so wild that I won't be able to match it. And two of the chipboard alphas for .97 each. I have one and then I was like, what word can I make with this? Now that I have 3 of them, I should be able to actually use it. I got the first on sale but not for that cheap. |
