The luggage handle idea is amazing. I don’t travel anymore, I used to use coloured ribbons too. But that’s great! Hadn’t thought of doing the plastic buckle connection thing to add more bags to the handle. Love those bee papers. If you do craft fairs you could add mini jars of honey with a honey tag to the tea packets. ❤ If you don’t like covering up paper you can make them boxes,tags, bags or bookmarks.
Hi Sharon. At first I was impressed/surprised that you did not use the word "bee" showing the first 2 items (which were amazing by the way-especially the bee gnomes) but you got back on track with the other bee items. So now you are our Queen Bee Haul Queen (I love love bees and see a bee journal in my future). Cheers.
Sharon, Sharon, Sharon!!! I just went to our local DT and they have a series of books called Dream Walls. There are 8 of them in the series. All full color pages and absolutely gorgeous. I could only find 2 of them at our DT. The ones in the set are Desert Style, Flower Market, Ocean Getaway, Woodland Forest, Wanderlust, Blessed, Good Vibes and Island Paradise! I bought the 2 ours had (Wanderlust and Woodland Forest) and told my hubs that I had to get home and tell Sharon......LOL. I wish I could put up a pic for you!
Hi Sharon, lovely haul as always. Spelling mistake on the word yourself on a quote sticker, don’t think you spotted it. World bee day was the 20th May. Love seeing your crafty hauls, trying to find things that are under 1 dollar is great. I’m with you on the Bee themes, I love it too and yes in the uk we love them a lot! You always seem to find the best items on Temu. I have a basket full, I keep adding to it, every time I watch you. Enjoy your trip to the uk x
Good Tip that the Yellow bag with clouds all over it, you recommended , warned us that if you tried to pick the bag up using the handles on the side of the bag, the bag will rip so we should maybe ignore the handles being there but as you know it's too tempting at times to use the handles so maybe anyone that dos buy the bag , maybe the should simply just cut the handles off makeing sure you don't cut the stitching that holds the handles on. I know it may look a little untidy but as long as you cut the handles off & leave as little of the handle off it should not be too bad, & if it's only to store stuff you will proberly not be bothered , plus no 1 really will notice because it's the side of the bag. But if it does bother you that you may beable to see it glue a strip of Ribbon, Matteriel from side to side over top of the bit of stitching that's left on the bag after cutting the handle of this will Jazz the bag up just a little & makes it your very own unique bag
Regarding the stamps and dies, looks like you can stamp all the sentiments at once on the sheet, then cut them out with dies, all at the same time. I was calling to you, the dies are upside down! I’m 99% sure it’ll work, good luck!
I know you've touched on Temu being a little deceptive, so I have a story for you. I needed some bead spacers for my new project. I have a huge amount in my cart at Temu, but didn't want to wait, so I went to WalMart. I hate WM.....anyway. Found a pack of spacers, knew there weren't as many as Temu, but bought them anyway. Got home and the bottom 2/3 of the container was filled with Styrofoam.....and you have a great haul!
Oh wow! I would have been sooo mad. I am not a Walmart fan either and avoid it whenever possible. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible. Temu can be a bit deceptive, but I really think they have hugely improved. (And Im addicted ☺️)❤
Sometimes it's nice & worth it because of the Results you get after you used them. So YES it is worth it if you did pay more than you expected, wanted to, would normally pay for a item,or the that item you just payed for. Most Crafters, me includded are usual Frugal or learne to be Frugal it's the case you have to be because crafting can get a little expensive so you need to make savings, make sure you don't go over board , & make sure you don't spend all, or most, too much money on your crafts because you still have other things like Bills, ect to have to pay , buy. But sometimes us Crafters may come across that item that's maybe more money that maybe seems it's not worth the amount or simply a little more pricey for something you may beable to find something that looks similar but the more pricey item may be better in howmit look & will give you a better effect when used. So Again it's sometimes better & just nice to buy that bit more special item to you, so again YES we all need to pay a little more sometimes
Hi Sharon. Thank you for sharing your haul. I know this is a touchy subject but I think it is important to know that many designs found on Temu that are from Echo Park, Graphic 45, Stamperia, brand names, etc. are being used without permission...copyright infringement. I have had to request many of my art and designs be taken down and have heard this from many other well known designers. It has been an unfortunate problem.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your insight into this issue. As a consumer I feel, in general, that I should trust most stores not to violate copyright laws and for our government to step in if it is rampant. However, I will be cautious with future purchases. I have noticed that Disney items have the copyright on them. Do you have confirmation that the other companies don’t have an agreement with Temu? That would be helpful for those future purchases.
I do have confirmation from companies like Stamperia, Graphic 45, Carabelle Studios (which unfortunately just went out of business partly due to repeatitive theft of designs), Bluefern Studios, Anna Griffen and the list goes on. I know first hand the amount of time and work artists/designers spend and most get paid through royalties. However, when works are stolen, they receive nothing in return for their work. Temu is a great place for trims, basic staple items but much of the original artwork has been infringed upon. Things may change up with AI generated art though. Btw...with your love for journal supplies...if I sent you my latest subscription boxes...would you be interested in sharing them on your channel?
@DreamzEtCetera Thanks so much for the update. I will definitely make some adjustments to what I order. And yes, I would definitely be interested in sharing your boxes😁
It’s timer here, had to subscribe, we’re all those paper pieces you showed on the board stickers? They were so adorable. Please don’t take the warblers off while you’re filming, it drives me nuts. Pretty please
23:00 temu does not have permission to use any of the copywrited stamp company brand items. lol everything is illegally copied. the lawsuits are not made public, meaning there are so many of them that it is not new news. you can tell when they loose a lawsuit as the items are taken down from the site. if you purchased something and you go back into your old orders and try and go to the item to maybe get ideas from the pictures they show, and if you get a 'discontinued' or 'no longer available' notice, that would be one of the lawsuits they lost. it does not take long, maybe a month or so until the items start popping back up on the site. i'd like to know if you find any stamp/craft company that agrees to temu copying their items. i'd like to know if i am wrong so i can not spread false info.... thanks!
Unfortunately, I’ve recently, as in the last few days, learned that you are absolutely correct. I had assumed the government would ensure a company regularly breaking our copyright laws would be stopped from doing business in the US.
