Thank you for sharing all of your stuff! I am new to the diamond painting world. Just started working on my first. I have researched many different logs, and I love yours the best!
Okay this video is my new fave, amazing. This makes me want to revamp my log book!! Great job and you’re so nerdy with the mail merge I love it! Mail merge is like the best ever. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love the baseball card sleeve idea for organizing your ordered kits - I have so much trouble keeping track of what I’ve already ordered. Thanks for the great idea!
Thank you thank you for sharing your templates!! Now that I'm fully obsessed and engulfed in diamond painting, your journal makes sooooo much sense and is PERFECT for my obsessive labeling and organizing tendencies :) Thank you again!!! Happy diamond painting!! 💎
@@JoanDiamondPaints That's a really good point!!! I think I have to agree with you -- despite being essentially the same process, paint by numbers doesn't appeal to me. And diamond painting lets me create something crafty! Thx for the food for thought 👍👋
@@kawaiiko7813 I just don't think I would be any good at paint by numbers so I never tried. I don't think I have the right talent to stay in the lines.
Hey Joan. Loved the video. I asked you awhile back about your journal. Thank you for sharing how you do things and for sharing your labels. You are definitely not lazy!! Looking forward to seeing your finished work in future videos. I always look forward to seeing you WIP. Take care and have a great weekend!
I love love love your channel, Joan! I finally figured out how to print your shared templates! Thank you so much for sharing your tips ! I love them all! Please stay safe and stay well! I'm pretty new with youtube commenting and links and I'm so happy I figured it out and am able to communicate with you! I'm going to redo my journal now!!
Thank u for all the information on how organized u r with your journal. I may use some of your ideas if that is ok. I m just starting my journal. Thanks so much
I have not made my own diamond art patterns. You should check out @diamondpaintingwithgems296 She does a lot of projects with her spare diamond painting drills.
Thank you for this video! Definitely appreciated. I do have a couple more questions though please. (1) Would you consider your journal to be for WIPs and completions and the baseball card pages are the orders and inventory stash? (2) When do you move the small image from the baseball card page to the journal page? (e,g., when you receive it, when you have kitted it up)? (3) Are you willing to share your spreadsheet as a template for your viewers? Thank you
My journal is just for the WIPs and completion. The pictures stay in the baseball card pages until I kit up and then I put it in my drill storage. I usually have a couple kitted up at the same time so I don't put the picture into my journal until I start drilling. I guess I do use the baseball card holders as an inventory of my stash. They are in the slots in order of delivery. I keep the pictures of the diamond paintings I am waiting for at the end with several empty card slots in between and move it up when they arrive. I'm not sure if my spreadsheet is very user friendly so I would have to fix it up. Thank you for watching!
@@JoanDiamondPaints Thank you for your reply. That helps me out so much. As to the spreadsheet, I will try to create my own. It was more about what items you are keeping on the spreadsheet. I will watch the video again to see for the label merge you print and put in the baseball card pages with the image. I really like this system.
Lazy! This is definitely not lazy. Your system is wonderful and I am envious of your organization. You have done so many! How long have you been doing diamond painting?
@@NathalieBreault If you want to see the actual diamond painting, you should watch my 2020 finishes video. The diamond paintings are shown in order. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MPoCDkKrjCs.html
I love your log book! I have been using Gems Flow app on iOS but there is something so cool about having a book to page thru. I am a planner chick so I try to log in my planner what painting I’m working on that day. Your video inspired me. I will be setting up a diamond painting planner soon. I just have to tear myself away from my drafting table to work on it. All I want to do is diamond paint!!
Thank you! I do like flipping through the journal and seeing everything I've done. Good luck on setting up your own! I understand just wanting to diamond paint too. Thanks for watching!
