Vlog: Episode 117 - Responding To Your Comments Part 18 & 3000 Subscriber Thank You  

I know the giveaway is over, but I think my favorite video of yours would have to be the Casa Bonita blog! Thanks for the video and congratulations Anthony on such a wonderful milestone!

Hello! Well this 3 hours went by super fast! Really enjoyed the company while I dp. To much to comment on but as far as your content, you hit the nail on the head: you do you and if people want to come along for the ride then wonderful, if not then kindly don't let the door hit you on the way out..harsh I know but I can say that because I am not a content creator 😉, your kindness and empathy for everyone including those that are snarky is just a testimony to your character. I see you also and appreciate you so very much. I can't say I have an absolute favorite video because i enjoy all your videos but I really do enjoy watching your stash videos over and over because I like seeing kits that are unusual and unique and just the variety because it's so huge!!! Thanks for the years of company and friendship it means alot to me. ❤❤

Hi Anthony! I have only watching you a few months so far. For personal reasons my favorite blog was you talking about your trip to Cedar Point. As someone who grew up around an hour from Cedar Point, not to say I took it for granted that we went once a year, but to see the enthusiasm of someone who wanted to go for years, finally getting to go was fun. I also worked there one summer and it's fun seeing behind the scenes and going to the park when it's closed . 😉 Keep being you, our differences are what keeps life interesting.

Wow. Asking me to pick a favorite video is like asking me to pick a favorite child! It's especially hard since you asked us not to pick the video I would have picked! I love your long format VLOG/hike videos and how you so freely share your thoughts and ideas! I especially appreciated your thoughfulness and honesty in tacking the whole AI subject. Happy birthday, Happy 3000th subscriber and happy placing!

Hi, Anthony! I love the long video. It's so nice to have company while I diamond paint and I love looking up to see the great views and Apollo. Thanks for all the terrific content. My favorite video is from last year. It the Denver Art Museum Visit. I loved seeing all the art and hearing your reactions and comments. Have a great day!

Hey Anthony, been a minute since I commented … needed this vlog today with your reminder to just be proud of who we are and not let anyone dim our sparkle. Laughed thru the singing, it was a joy I needed. Your commentary on shop owners is spot on, and I wish all people would just choose to be kind. My favorite video has to be this one, just because everything resonated with me today. Congrats on 3K, Happiest of Birthdays, K9 high fives from my boy (German Shepherd) to Apollo, and thank you for being *you*.

I enjoy the long hikes with Apollo (especially getting to see the panoramic views from the top) and the museum visit was so cool.

This vlog 117 was my favorite lol. I love hearing you get really personal and sharing your heart-happy or…not so happy. I’m glad you don’t shy away from a little controversy 😮😁I totally agree about thinking companies should keep it professional!

My favorite video of yours, Anthony, was vlog 116 describing your experience of Coastermania!

Anthony everything you do is wonderful and I appreciate you! I loved the fact that you put the kettle on to make tea! I found that so adorable! I found you through Katie and I'm so thankful I did! My favourite video you did was your first walk through golden when you moved! I loved the little town! Love to you and Apollo xoxoxox

Thank you for reminding us that a careless snarky comment can resonate and wound. Rule #1: be kind.

Hi Anthony! I so understand what you were saying about social media. Years ago I got off Facebook. I didn't like who I was becoming in response to mean spiritedness and misinformation I would see from others. I'm a happier person since that decision. Your maturity and kindness make listening to you a positive experience.

Me again. Just want to let you know that i really enjoyed your Summer With the Masters video. It was very professionally done. Your voice over sounded so wonderful! Looking forward to your next one.

Anthony - I am so impressed by your fitness level. There is no way I could walk for 3 hours straight! Talking about the bad drills with your kit - do you save your spares? I recently worked on a kit that some of the dark drills were awful. I was able to throw them away and use my spares to finish the kit. It was so much easier with good drills!

Yes, it was the Vacation brand sun screen. I found the Chardonnay lip oil today too! I’m loving it so far. Thanks again!

Love, you never have to excuse anything you do on YOUR channel, no matter the content 💜 Are you gonna make me chose, which of your video's I like the best, dear lord, I don't think I can chose just one, I think the closest I can get is you Vlogs 🥰 Hope that is good enough Thank you for keeping me company for 3 hours while I was diamond painting, I did 1.5 section, because I also had to look at the view. Have a great day and lots of love to both you and Apollo ❤❤❤

I love all your videos, but the video of the restaurant you did was fun!! Wished we had the same where I live. My sons were "hair" band fans in the 80's. My fav band was/is Led Zeppelin. But I love all types of music. My mother listened to big band music from the 40s. I even enjoy opera!! I enjoyed you singing the Blondie song, loved that video on MTV years ago!! I saw a Blondie singing, she sang with our local philharmonic. Keep up your original ideas, love your channel!! Say "Hi" to handsome Apollo!!

Favorite video..so difficult. I love all of your vlogs, love hearing about your mom, but i guess my favorite might be your last shop spotlight. I know you have done several previously, but Ive only been listening for about 5 months. Your questions were very insightful, and i really liked the way you were able to get Becs to calm down and be at ease and less nervous. I am so very sorry you had to explain yourself today, that is not something you should have to do. Its YOUR channel. If s9meone doesnt like what youre doing, they can fast forward, or hit the x. Just know that OVER 3000(!) people love you..congratulations, and have a most wonderful birthday. All the best...Alison

It was so good hearing you name all the New Wave, punk bands. I was actually in a band in college named "Post Punk". Sang a lot of Blondie. Rapture is still one of my favorites. B52s may still be one of my favorite bands. Love hearing about your mom. (I have heard of Def Leopard, but I don't know any of their songs, even the one you mentioned)

My favorite video was your stash part 2 video because you debuted “vanity” which I promptly acquired and am now working on with gusto. I also learned about Jada Jen shop and old master kits which has elevated my diamond painting experience. Oh also I love creativity squirrel putty which I discovered through your channel! Thanks Anthony!

It is never too late for you to jump on the Def Leppard bandwagon. I didn't become a fan until I was in my 40's. Since then, I have been to 65+ of their concerts. Think about getting together a bunch of your friends and going to see them when they come to Denver in September. Their concerts are so much fun. I do know what you mean about loving the music you grew up with. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents - I still love the crooners they listened to - Dean Martin, Perry Como, Ed Ames, Bing Crosby etc...

Hey Anthony! I first just want to say I really enjoy your content! It keeps me company while diamond painting. I love the energy you bring! I think one of my favorites videos you’ve done since I’ve found your channel last year is probably the video you did for SWTM 2023 on and about Gustav Klimt. I also really loved your video on Mucha last week! Happy early birthday! 🥳 🎉

Anthony you're not lil diamonds your Kohinoor diamonds

Hello... 1st let me say early happy birthday. 2nd You are unique and whoever doesn't like you is their problem not yours. Lastly I enjoy your videos and the scenery in this one is beautiful. My favorite video is vlog episode 117

I totally enjoyed your 1st Summer with the Masters video! You put so much work into and I learned a lot!

Hi Anthony! So happy to be a part of your 3k club!😊 I’m still new to your channel however I’m lovin’ it! I admire how you do you👍🏼 Anyhu…I think my fav Single & Placing video thus far is the one on the history of Mucha. I really enjoyed learning more about him and sincerely hope you will do more of those history of the masters videos.

Happy early birthday!!!! 🎉 I love all your videos but I love the finish of Masks of Venice. That kit came out absolutely stunning. I am so in love with it. So my favorite of your videos is ‘Masks’, I know you said you had it hanging in your kitchen 🤗 that’s so awesome!

Hi Anthony and Happy Birthday for Saturday! I've been subscribed to you for quite a long time and to try and think of a favorite video is hard to do. I can't remember what I had for dinner much less all of your videos I've seen. Lol. However, your recent video for the kickoff for SWTM was very informative about Alphonse Mucha and the images you displayed showed you put a lot of work into it. So, I'll pick that one. Congrats on 3K subs. 🥰💜🎉

The best by far is your starting a putty business video. However I enjoy most all of your content.

Anthony i love your vlogs. Im alone a lot and your my beautiful company. Seeing Golden and other areas of Colorado are things i wont probably see in person so its just so appreciated. Thank you.:❤one of my favorites was your destash you worked so hard i felt you were so fair and generous.

Hey Anthony, big shout out for your upcoming birthday hope u have and had a fantastic day as I know you will read this after your birthday. I get what you say about when people ask did you sleep during that canvas with how quick you did it, I had it said to me on one of the sites when I completed a 55.8cm x 93.9cm square in 14 days and it made me feel horrible. Also I know you said not to say about the video about starting your own business but it has to be my fav. It was the 1st video that got me hooked and fall in love with your channel 😊 even though I don't know the back story to it or who you was taking on, that doesn't matter still a great video. Keep it up as I enjoy everything x

😂🥰😂 I may have a non-conformist definition of cosy. I also rotate between a lot of hobbies. Just be you, that is more than enough. Edit... Excuse me Sir did you say Selena? Yaaasss, never heard any of the people I follow mention her ❤. My favorite video of yours is Crack that WIP-Midnight Laundromat.

The comment sections stress me out and I'm not even a content creator. I can't imagine how stressful they are as a creator. My favorite video of yours has been vlog ninety five where you talk about going to Casa Bonita, it sounded like you had a blast!

That's a kildeer, trying to lure Apollo away from her nest. (They nest on the ground.)

Hi, I'm currently working on The Classic version Starry Night by apre's Van Gogh . From Diamond Dots. Just for fun because it is my second of Diamond painting. Love your Channel, I also follow Katie ❤️ ♥️ 😊

Yes! 2 months for Muchamania

Hi Anthony! I am really interested if for Mucha-Mania a Newstart will be required. I am currently participating in #summerwiththemasters but I get the feeling, I won't be able to finish my Mucha. So it would really be great, if I could join in at Mucha-Mania with that one too... By the way, and I am so sorry to say so - as you don't want people to name this video but - my favourite video is indeed your "create my own putty" video. Hilarious. Love it! Please don't hate me!

When I suggested Gorilla Glue, I meant to use it to glue the strip to the back of the canvas, not to the wall. Idk if that would work.

Have you ever done a cross stitch conversion explanation video? I’m curious as to how it’s done.

Hahaha what about Barry Manilow he writes the songs that makes the whole world sing❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love these vlogs. First of all, I’ll be 61 in about 6 weeks and while I know who Def Leopard is, I’ve never owned any of their music. Pour Some Sugar On Me was made for strip clubs IMO. Yes, I’m thinking of the male strippers me and my friends used to go see way back in the day. 😂 Second, I’ll never understand why people feel the need to be ugly online. Have I started watching videos that I didn’t like? Yes. I just quit watching. Have a quit following a creator because I didn’t want to hear their political/religious view? Yup. Did I say anything to any of them? No. Their channel - their right as a creator. I have the right to just move on. I watch YT because it brings me joy. The older I get the more selective I am in what I allow in my head space. I have been toying with the idea of starting a channel too but I know ugly people would mess with my inner peace. Constructive criticism is one thing but just being critical is another. I don’t know if I will or not. I thought my kids might like to go back and listen to my thoughts and ponderings once I’m dead and gone. As far as my favorite video? It has to be the parody video. I. LOVE. To. LAUGH. It made me laugh out loud! EDIT: Thanks to you saying to not choose that video - 😮! That’s my choice and I stick with it! 😅
