What a surprise!

Hey everyone!! I am getting ready to kit up my next project and I just opened it up. I purchased this off of Ali Express from Ever Moment. It had of course your regular supplies such as canvas, drills, wax and pens. To my surprise it also has tweezers, washi tape, and stickers!! I love that it has stickers!! I’ve only had one kit that had that and that was from Dreamer Designs. It’s a 45x30 and cost me about $25. So it wasn’t real cheap like some on that site but it wasn’t 75-80 like on the name brands. I will know after I complete it but as of right now I am a very happy camper lol 😀

Almost forgot, it also came in a sturdy tube rolled up so no creases 😊

They have the best packaging. I especially love the cardboard tube. The canvases basically don't even need to be flattened. Some of the smaller kits are still reasonably priced and they're having a sale now, but they raised their prices a lot when the tariffs started hitting and never reduced them when they were removed

Gotcha, it’s been awhile since I’ve ordered because I got a little carried away when I first got started so I’ve been trying not to buy any more for awhile lol. Don’t know how long that will last cause there’s some in my cart that I really really want 😂

Someone posted on here recently something that really describes me, to paraphrase: My hobby is 2 hobbies - the actual hobby and buying stuff for the hobby.

I have more DP canvases than I could do in years and I keep buying them

Oh man, that is so me!! I have 137 still left to do, and I have 24 in my cart that I really want to buy! 😳

[u/mereseydotes → u/Ctryluv58]

I'm not counting and you can't make me!

😂

I just looked and I’ve completed 21 and I want 24 that’s in my cart. That would be a fair trade, right?

[u/mereseydotes → u/Ctryluv58]

You better buy them now, because they might not be available 5 minutes from now. Or they could be like Ever Moment and raise the prices and then you wish you'd bought a lot more when they were less expensive

[u/Ctryluv58 → u/mereseydotes]

Exactly!! I’ve had that happen! I had some I really wanted and when I went back half of them were sold out ☹️

I know what you mean. I know that I have at least 200 kits if not more. I have about 35 DAC and 25 Dreamer Designs. I'm waiting on four more DAC that was supposed to ship on May 15th. The rest are from Temu and Shein. And I still keep looking 😔 Thank goodness I got my daughter into DP and she is doing some of the Temu and Shein kits.
