Is Isabelle supposed to give us a DIY for the summer shells?

i got the wreath diy from a balloon yesterday instead of isabelle even though i had no new announcements!
 
I didn't get a DIY from Isabelle but I did get one from the balloon.

I wasn't expecting one from Isabelle though since she didn't give me one during cherry blossom season.
 
I haven't gotten one from her yet either, I'm going to start balloon hunting today!
 
mhm
this happened to me with the cherry blossom event too.
she just gave me the picnic diy a couple of days later, maybe it's a random day, not the first one
 
I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but are you supposed to talk to isabelle in the resident services to get the diy? I always assumed she gave it to you during announcements- idk which is correct, but if you have to talk to her does she give it to you as soon as you sit in her corner/ after you're done with something else? :V
 
Ive not had a DIY from her ever 😒 seems like she’s too interested in watching TV or reading magazines.

I believe she gives it to you during the announcement.
I did; however, check in with her just to see if she says anything and there was nothing either.
 
I didn't get one, but that's likely because I received the wreathe recipe from a balloon yesterday. There's no unlocking something again that's already been unlocked.
 
Does anybody else feel like the whole announcement system isn't great? I think it was fine during the intro period, when Nook did them, but I feel like it's very odd what Isabelle announces or not, and they clearly don't all mesh well.
Like, she knows there's a camper in the literal opposite corner of my island but doesn't see Kicks in front of her window??

I do think she should definitely do announcements for the other visitors - esp. Label, Kicks, Flick, CJ and Saharah.
Since Redd is supposed to be a scam artist, I could get behind the fact that she might not know he's visiting lol...
But at this point, the announcements are just redundant and don't add any value to the game.

I suppose the good news is I did receive the Shell wreath DIY from a balloon today - still doesn't explain why some players get it through Isabelle while others don't but at least there's that.
 
I am also in the group that got no diy from Isabelle. For reference, when she made announcements, there was no events happening that day (like campsite visitor). During the cherry blossom event however, she did give me a diy recipe but not on the day everyone else got them on. Mine took a few days to trigger. I did end up getting the diy through a balloon though so that is wonderful news. So make sure to pop all balloons!
 
I also haven't gotten any recipes from her. I might have had a camper the first day. I don't mind so much, but it's weird that it isn't consistent. Definitely feels like a bug. and YES, she should announce every visitor except maybe Red and Gulliver. Otherwise what's the point? Also her little stories about shows she watches would be much cuter if they were 1-2 times a week instead of almost every day. There should be news on most days, thanks to visitors, visitor birthdays, etc.
 
I never got a DIY from her but I got the wreath DIY from a balloon yesterday, so it may just be random whether she gives it to you or a balloon does
