Thanks Karen, the room is so dark and I had a lot of comments about it being too dark so I got a new light and this is my first time really using it. I think there's an adjustment though so I'll try to move it to the side or dim it. I also got a new camera and it has auto focus and zooms in and out which sometimes makes things blurry so I read a tip to put my hand behind so the camera knows what to focus on. I appreciate the feedback because it helps me know what to adjust for y'all.

I actually use a lot of it, when I'm posting crafting videos a lot of the time you'll hear me say this was in a grab bag. It does depend on what you normally make though, like I don't do jewelry so the jewelry making stuff will be passed to my coworker that makes jewelry. I do think it's better than them just destroying and throwing things out like other retailers though.

Hi, new to your channel. Thanks for this. A FRICTION PEN is for fabric marking, it will erase with ironing or heat. Quilters and seamstresses use them to make erasable marks.

BOX SWAP WOULD BE AWESOME, I BOUGHT 4 BOXES AND ONLY KEPT 2 BOXES WORTH

@ucantoo9533

I use as much as I can and I make gift bags with the kids stuff to hand out. I don't know what to do with all the potted poinsettias so I was thinking maybe a retirement community could use them for center pieces or something. What's crazy is sometimes you try to give it to places and they say they can't take it. Anywho, I think it would be really cool to have like a sip and swap though where us crafters could meet and swap stashes.

I came to say the same about the lighting issues, I had a hard time seeing and enjoying the items. 😣😣 Just a friendly tip, you need some sort of light diffuser to stop the lighting blow outs and glare. You can purchase one, but you can instead easily make your own by just hanging a white sheet of thin copy paper directly in front of the light source diffusing the light evenly throughout the lighted area. You will need to test and adjust the sheet of paper from very close to the light source, to further and further away to get your desired light diffusion. Just remember to make sure the item you are using to diffuse the lighting is somewhere directly between the light source and yourself/the objects, to properly diffuse the light and stop the glare. I've also seen people hang tulle or a very thin white sheet over the light source(s) as another option. You can search for DIY light diffusers for lots of other options too. 😀😀 Otherwise it was a great video, and you scored a ton of great stuff!! I torture myself watching all of these un-boxings while being super duper jealous because the Michael's near me doesn't ever do these grab boxes. 😭😭 Not sure if it's just mine that doesn't or if it's a Canada wide thing. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ But I'm super jealous!!!! ***stomps feet*** hahaha 😂😂 Thanks for sharing, love watching them and seeing all the cute and interesting items!! Congrats on all the goodies!! Take care! 😃❤😃

It depends on the item, most of it I put in my craft stash, if it’s surplus or something I can’t use my town has a freebies site where we post unwanted items for free to neighbors. The kids stuff I make grab bags with and hand out when the fairs come to town. If someone on youtube says they want something and I won’t use it I give the option of contacting me so we can arrange for them to get it, youtube recently invited me to open a store so I will start adding those items there in the near future for low prices since I don’t pay much for them.

I get so annoyed when I hear people are cutting open boxes or demanding to know what is in them or bad mouthing Michael’s b/c they don’t like the stuff in them! When you are buying a box knowing it’s full of clearance items, and you are only paying $10, I can guarantee that everyone is keeping or giving their friends or family at least $10 worth of products so what’re you complaining about? Everything after that is just a bonus! They end up with several hundreds of dollars of products and they are. Practically spitting in anger that they wasted their time and their $10 buying this! And how dare Michael’s have increased their box price?! There was one year where the boxes were being posted everywhere and they were filled with $1000’s of products-the first Christmas after Covid- but Michael’s has says they way over ordered that year-so they had a ton of stock to get rid of. They are more careful now with their ordering. I’m sure it will happen again but I really hope the grateful people like you scoop up all the deals and leave nothing for the greedy people who expect to be getting all high end items for free.

Agreed, I don't want their negativity and ungratefulness to stop this great thing Michaels does. Especially when there are so many other stores that cut up, destroy items and/or just trash them when they don't sell. I would love to see more retailers do grab bags instead and I will definitely not complain about the increase in the price when you are getting these big boxes full of stuff. I sort everything after my unboxing and if it isn't something I can use, I post it to our local freebies Facebook site so my neighbors can have it if they can use it. As a crafter, I like the challenge of coming up with new ways to use otherwise unwanted items.
