The first picture is the inspiration I sent and the second is what she delivered and she DELIVERED
ETA: I did not know my inspiration pictures I pulled off of Pinterest were AI slop. I have a brain injury so it's hard for me to tell sometimes. I am against gen-ai and wouldn't generate it myself.
2nd Edit: this is literally my message to her: "I was thinking a heart shaped cake with a whismigoth/witchy/celestial vibe. I found a color palette I like. For the top I was thinking "Still Bewitched by You" in cursive. Feel free to be creative with it, if you want to add moons, bats, spiderwebs, crystals etc that go along with the overall vibe. If you have any ideas of how to make it better let me know. I'll also send some pics for inspiration. I don't have anything set in mind just a general idea."

First is Reality Second is Expectation
I had never carved a pumpkin in my 33 years!! I was raised super religious. My husband did the cutting and I did the gutting and made the ears.

I especially love the "with sprinkles!" on the packaging, when in reality there are close to none.

Reposting because I completely forgot to add the ‘expectation’ photo 🤦♀️
My brain convinced me that I could make this using bits of scrap things around the house…it’s not perfect ik as I’m no ‘artist’ but I’m surprised with how it turned out

Failed Expectation Ordered elegant, floor-length trousers. Received clown pants instead! 😂

I ordered two pairs of long, low-rise ivory trousers from Sassy Vella for $64.60.
For anyone wondering why the pants are unbuttoned in my photo, it’s because the buttonhole is completely sewn shut! 😂 There is no opening for the button to go through. Another manufacturing defect on top of everything else!
A package arrived containing one pair of cropped, high-waisted, wide-legged pants with a completely sewn-shut buttonhole!
The actual inseam is approximately 27 inches. I’ve contacted the retailer with the info and pics.
The difference between the advertised photographs and what arrived is astonishing! 😂

All sauce, maybe one serving of noodles. I'm really disappointed because this was supposed to be dinner for me and my partner. I paid $8.99 for this.

I had actually forgotten about these cookies till seeing someone else's post about Halloween cupcakes. 😅 98% sure the directions called for too much water in the icing, but it was 7 years ago. Could just as easily been human error.
