24 June 2024 Waffle | DAC Artists Room | Diamond Art Club 

Hi Rebecca and zesty friends I am wishing you a wonderful day 😊

Hi Rebecca ! I hope you share your quilting project with us zesties! I love the goldfish tank. I like to put chocolate chips in my pancakes and put melted butter, peanut butter, and syrup. It tastes amazing. American pancakes are thick. I eat it with bacon and carnation instant breakfast in chocolate. It's like chocolate milk with protein, vitamins, and minerals.

As someone who grew up in Florida, I honestly think that part of the reason the school year is broken up like that is the summer heat. By May it is in full swing and easily hitting 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius), if not feeling like 110 Fahrenheit (43 Celsius) with the humidity. By May recess is already brutal and pools are extremely common, so a lot of Floridians spend most of the summer outside swimming… anything that can keep us cool. And as much as Florida schools have ACs, most schools are large enough that the AC can only do so much.

I had a friend that had happen to . She found out the owners name and sent him a letter about how the three times she arrived for an interview only to be told he was out of the office. Needless to say he was fired . Turns out he was skipping work to play golf with his friends . And yes she now works as the manager lol .

Just catching up with your WIP and waffle with my tea :) I keep having it at different times as sometimes I’m not hungry at normal tea time or I’m busy as such

You and the yeeting!! Had me in stitches again. I had to take hubby to Orthopedic Urgent Care today, due to him falling and hurting his elbow. Nothing broken, thank goodness, just a lemon sized goose-egg bump on it and lots of tenderness. They put his arm in a sling for two weeks to rest it, with strict orders NOT to use it. I give it until tomorrow before he completely disregards the orders because stubbornness is his strong suit. Coming home around 4:30pm the temperature outside was 103 F, with a heat index making it feel like 108. (That's 39.44 / 42.22 Celsius). Please send Arkansas some of your rain. I'll even pay extra for express delivery. 😀🥵

Hi rebecca thank you for keeping me company on less than great evening ❤ the painting is coming along so nice! I also love the bright yellow pen, it's so nice an sunshiney😊 To mysterious days comment: American driverslicens courses are not really 400-600$ are they?! Like all the lessons you need added up. That is so cheap! Here in germany the sum of all the lessons you need can easily cost more than a thousand €. And that's not even on the expensive side of things. It wouldn't even be legal just learning through a family member

I have three so far in 24 days and I’m starting on another one. I’m not allowed to buy anymore until my stash is done if I keep up this pace I will have my whole stash done by the end of march hopefully

Not that I’d purchase it, due to not being the biggest fan of orange, but what if you did a striped tray in the colors of the Zesty Wolf diamond painting? I know it’s a popular one, and given what that painting is to you and the shop, it only feels fitting.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for another great WIP and Waffle today! It’s been really tough around my place this week and you are keeping me sane for 30 minutes to an hour each day. I commented a couple of days ago that we had just unexpectedly lost one of our cats and now yesterday we lost my husband’s grandfather. 😢 When it rains; it pours, unfortunately. Thanks again so much for all that you do and for our lovely Zesty Community. 🐝

Hi Rebecca and zesties! Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry for not replying to others comments or leaving comments as much. I am only able to watch through my cell and don’t always have the time to scroll through, sadly. But just know that the sentiment is there rather it is an injury, a lost or triumph. ❤ I have never used release paper but really think I should as I tend to stay up way later then I should because “I just got to complete this one section” lol and hour or two later has past and dragging the next day at work. Still working on into the wonder land from Diamond art club and can definitely tell more so that this is an older one as there are some irregular drills that cause some gapping but when the light pad is off, you can’t tell lol so continuing on. Does anyone else ever feel guilty of spending money on a hobbie like Diamond painting for it to not make any money back and (for me) mostly sit in a drawer when completed? I truly enjoy this hobby though and there are so many options now that I want them all lol. I am off today because I absolutely hate Mondays at work (craziest calls come in and stressful) so I once a month like to schedule off a Monday for a mental health day lol. As soon as I am able to, I will definitely be placing an order with you Rebecca for release papers and putty ( haven’t try anything other then the wax that comes in kits and wax tip pen for ABs) and hopefully I can snag one of your awesome trays. I remember watching your WIP in Chats when I first started diamond painting and you talking about starting your shop. So happy everything is going well with your shop. I have also never been in a Facebook group for diamond painting as I am not the biggest fan of facebook but yours sounds fun and as soon as I have time (and remember lol) I will love to join. Thank you again for taking the time for daily WIP n chats this month as your company is one of the highlights of my day as I relax and Diamond paint this huge painting lol. Much love from Wisconsin.

Hi Rebecca I'm watching you before I step into the shower, today we have 27 degrees, we went for a drive up the cost in the hope of cooler air, didn't happen. A very sultry day, so even though I had a shower first thing this morning I am having another . We are off to Cumbria tomorrow so I will probably play catch up when I get back. I'm crocheting cardi's again as the babies Dad helped with the washing - he tumbled the cardies and they stretched , so I am making replacements. I Still need to sort through my diamond painting tools, I hope if we find another house tomorrow it might get me back onto sorting things out.

Hi Rebecca, I’m not going to do the hole in bag vs dryer sheet experiment, but I am working on a budget WIP from the baggies it came in, and each bag has a tiny hole punched through it, 22 colors and zero static 💡

I’d say it’s about 50/50 as to if you’re taught by a family member or friend or if you go to driving school. Primarily, we started with my mom teaching me at 16 and I was doing well. The issue is one of my friends moms yelled at me because it looked like I was about to hit her son’s car and that caused a major mental block that took years to get over. I don’t think I’m finally fully over it, but I’m ready to start trying again. I still haven’t done driving school yet, we are probably waiting until the worst of summer is over so it’s not unbearable due to my asthma

Hi Rebecca, as the June Waffle is winding down, can we get any spoiler alerts for the December Advent (in terms of is there a canvas)?

I had to smile when you loaded your multiplayer with the Jasmine & Ruby putty as I put the same one in mine just before I started watching you today. It smells lovely 😊👍💚

Hi Rebecca, I am not very good at typing. My brain thinks what to said and my fingers are not getting the message right. So sorry if you have trouble reading my comments. I will try harder. .I would like to thank the zesty for the comment on my quilting frame. I would love to sale it but ever time I try to sale some thing it never sales. Also Rebecca the reason that I would like to get done with my section at the same time you do, is I like to listen to you when I DP. Its not so much as I would like to get done first. I usually go to Fanselle Friday but I think I will be running out of that soon. Thank you so much for keeping me company while my hip gets better. I am making great progress with that. So thanks so much for all you do. You are amazing.

Actually, the new plastic cover paper was brought out because the coverminders within diamond art club orders often came with magnets not attached to the back and they seemed to get tired of the complaints, so they technically cut the need of cover minders.

Ive returned home from my weekly riding lessons and am a few days behind but thats ok ill catch up quickly as it takes me more then one waffle to finish a section. I look forward to the long waffles in july. Lets go zesties we must comment up a storm so that there will oodles of long waffles.

I believe I was the person who first mentioned that we were Zesties and it took on a life of its own…which I am tickled pink about. ❤
