The advertisement vs the actual coupon you receive. ಠ_ಠ
Two screenshots. 1st pic is an email stating "40% off all in store purchases" and the 2nd is the actual coupon, which is "40% off online only". Coupons are from Michael's craft store.

Snivy esploded. But we can rebuild him. We have the technology.
Photo of felt pieces cut out and laid out in the shape of the Pokémon Snivy. They are pieces that will be sewn together to make a small Snivy magnet or ornament.

Being able to sleep like this without causing body and back pain would fix me.

1st go at a 3D (tho he's more 2.5D) Magikarp. Gonna alter his body shape and proportion but he's still pretty cute haha
Photo of a felt ornament of Magikarp from Pokémon. The Magikarp has gold hand stitching on all of his edges and is a shiny Magikarp. The ornament is about the size of the hand holding it.

Sweet, another Mercari scam!
Screenshot of a message received via Mercari DM's telling the recipient that their item has been purchased but that it can't be processed until the recipient copies and pastes a bogus Mercari address into their browser to update their information.

Methinks Michael's is failing at mastering the art of deceptive marketing. Thanks for the "exclusive" birthday coupon that is available to everyone who has the app.
Screenshot of an email from Michael's arts and crafts store claiming a 40% off one item coupon is a birthday gift just for the receiver. It is accompanied by a screenshot of the Michael's app with a 40% off all regular priced items coupon which is available to anyone with the app. Both screenshots were taken on the same day not even a minute apart.

A new water boi appears. Gonna adjust the proportions a bit but he is very good.

Why would you send out an email like this when the event is already almost halfway over???
Screenshot of an email sent at 3:28PM for a flash sale that started at 2PM and only lasts until 6PM. The sale is not online but at a physical location.

Update. Machine made a deep humming noise and spit out the mat with an error. Mat so cheap the machine took a bite lmao. Didn't even last 10 cuts. So I mean if you needed a mat for 1-2 things and then never again sure $1.25 well spent.
Photo of a LightGrip Dollar Tree brand cutting may made for use in. Cricut machine. There is a red project on the mat and a chunk missing from the right side.
