Katie, you are one of the kindest people I know and you would never intentionally offend anybody. Please remember nobody can please everyone, nor should we try. There is no need for you to apologize for offending someone just because you said "you guys". If they are offended, it is their problem to deal with it, not yours to have to smooth out ruffled feathers. You keep being the fabulous person you are!

@pamelafoley6211 День назад

I love being one of “you guys”! I say it too, and I am a Washingtonian. I have more thoughts on it, but won’t spew here. You are loving and inclusive, and such a joy to watch and listen to, please don’t change a thing, or become self conscious. You are a ⭐️!! I hope you have a better week. 🌻

@Lorraine_Whitman 4 дня назад

I say y'all now because 20+ years in the South does that. But I really don't get people getting so upset about "you guys". It's not derogatory and, in my world, the connotation is a mixed group. I totally get that it gets tricky trying to make everyone happy and not offended. It's one big reason I never started my own channel. You, however, are so sweet and awesome! 💜💜💜 Now stop the yawning, I keep catching them. 😂

🌻🌸 thanks as always Katie! I’m from North Carolina and my college town flooded from the hurricane. It’s been heart wrenching to watch. The southeast has been hit hard and there is so much damage. Thank you for the reminder for all of us to extend the same grace that we give others as well as making sure we are cared for to be care givers. ❤️

@grams4ta679 3 дня назад

🌻thanks for a good visit! I’m from AZ and my husband is from NY, we both say “you guys”. Back in the 70’s PBS had an educational program which started out with Rita Moreno hollering “Hey you guys!” At the top of her lungs and I immediately heard that in my head when you mentioned saying it.

I really love DAC kits in general but am not thrilled with having to deal with red lines on my kit that may show through even after finished. I would love to see DAC step up and offer some kind of maybe some credit? Their kits are awesome but not cheap.

@tiffanyholder8490 2 дня назад

Enabler!!! And I very much appreciate it. This kit AND the specials from DP with Sparklers is stunning. In fact I loved it so much I completed it within 36 hours! I have ZERO regrets. Thank you for ALL you do. Have a fabulous week :)

@EliskaParatore-l9b 20 часов назад

I like kitting up by symbol (numbers then letters then symbols). It makes it easier for me to find the right drills😊

@michellebrice2990 2 дня назад

🌻 Another great WIP n Chat, Katie! I kit up in increasing DMC number exclusively. That way makes sense to my logical, scientific brain. I completed my Drills and Chills entry during this video and I completed the exit form. I enjoyed doing this painting so much (Graveyard Goodies). Thank you for always being so real and so concerned for all of us.

🌻🌻 Thanks so much for another great week. Funny, I’ve known folks to apologize for saying “you guys” when including me, as a woman. They hadn’t offended me and you, FOR SURE, never had. Thanks for being thoughtful about it though. You’re the best!!

@aleasilverleaf232 3 дня назад

@diamondsandsims6125 3 дня назад

I’m Australian and I say you guys. I love listening to your videos and working on my projects. I finished my drills and chills and went straight back to my daughters canvas. Tho my daughter isn’t born yet and making diamond painting harder to do for me

@jenniferj4191 2 дня назад

I am also from the northwest and say you guys to reference more than one person. It’s definitely a cultural thing. I was kitting up as well. You are so fast! Anyways have a great week! 🌻

@stacypalm2639 4 дня назад

Wishing best of luck to Adam in his job search. It's rough out there! I've been out of work for a little over 2 months now. It's been much more difficult to find a job than I thought it would be. I've only managed to land a couple of interviews, which weren't successful, even though I was insanely overqualified for the positions. It's hard to not take the rejection personally and feel like a complete failure. 😔🌻

@tangerinegin4568 4 дня назад

You be you! “You guys” and “You’all” is all good with me, grew up partly in UK & part in Bermuda, I say all kinds of expressions from both and elsewhere that I picked up along the way, these things help to make us individual and not cookie cutter stereotypes ❤😂

@shawna-3 2 дня назад

🌻 Katie, thank you as always for sharing. I finished my drills and chills project right as the video was wrapping up!! If someone is offended by you, I would be shocked. I feel you try to be kind always ❤ my husband is originally from Ohio and we are in Oklahoma now. We definitely aren't offended by you guys 😂 I can relate with kids and technology. I am a bit older than you. My first phone was during my senior year of high school and I had completed my undergrad degree by the time the internet was getting ramped up for most people. Personally, I love technology from most aspects, although I am pretty private on social media. Now that I have a teen, that is where it gets harder. She has never known life without all kinds of tech gadgets. I agree that we can just do our best to help them engage safely as they mature. It is scary at times, but she is in a web design class that is backing up some things we have already tried to instill (online scams, predators, bullying, not oversharing, etc). I had to smile when you mentioned something about not traumatizing them. I have often had the thought "I hope she doesn't have to complain about me too much in therapy one day" 😂

🌻I’m doing well. I’ve been working on my Drills N Chills project Pumpkin Patch Bunnies by Abraham Hunter. I hear you on feeling like an Eeyore. It’s a lot of stress you’re going through. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share with us. 🌻🌻🌻

@sharonfeatherstone8219 4 дня назад

I’m working on Stacked Pumpkins with Sunflowers and the enhancement kit. I am very happy with the results. A few of the substitute drills are slightly smaller. I used my “EW” kit and just swapped the special drills for the DP ones. This worked because all of my enhancements were full swaps. I keep them in order by color group and eventually they sort themselves into a good order and then muscle memory kicks in. I added a little fluorescent pink sticker to the containers with the special drills.

@robinpennington5758 3 дня назад

Thank you for the WIP and chat, Katie. I am working on Harvest Cornucopia and loving the colors. Hope you have a great week! 🌻

🌻 It’s Pop where I am in Colorado too. And lately my life has sucked and today was so up down up down emotionally for me. I was ENCOURAGED to pause/stop my weight loss journey of surgery because the team feels like I’m going to have a nervous breakdown, then I FINALLY received some $ that I have been waiting for for months from SSDI, and then my therapist told me that she is changing her company and I might have to find another therapist if I can’t follow her to her new place. So right now life sucks big time. But I’m still Diamond painting. I sorry for TMI but needed to vent

@tericundiff6723 3 дня назад

🌻My enhancement drills came in for Pumpkins and Sunflowers but the canvas was out of stock. I finally got it ordered today and it’s not supposed to be in until November.. I’m not doing the drills and chills so it shouldn’t matter. I’m currently working on my 4th project. (The biggest I’ve done is a 30x40cm). I just started Diamond Painting in September and I don’t understand about the events yet. But I do LOVE listening to your videos. You have helped me so much. I just recently retired and was looking for a hobby. I’m glad I found Diamond Painting. Take care of yourself this week!!

@janineswauger 2 дня назад

I have done a at least 4 DP with Sparklers enhancement drill bundles. They are so wonderful bc like you said it' takes the guessing out of it. My approach is exactly the same as yours. I save the drills that are swapped just to be safe and I put the sparklers in my containers. I also use the label from the diamond painting and do not change anything on that. 🌻

@kiwicherryxo 2 дня назад

i actually just got back into diamond painting and oddly enough the only painting i wanted to do was a snack sized christmas painting. can’t wait until i feel like doing more fall themed paintings

I am from PA and I agree with you. You guys is just a group reference around here. And “pop” will always be the carbonated beverage name. I am working on Turkey & Pumpkins by Susan Winget from DAC.Also, some of the smaller Christmas ones from Michael’s Make Market and Walmart Diamond Dotz. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

@graylagran7443 День назад

Hey Katie - for kitting up DAC in EW, I start with the train with the least amount of drills and the tiny containers, as it becomes quite clear when I need to the next size up. I’m also a y’all person (North Carolina 🇺🇸).

@heyher_the_odd 4 дня назад

Growing up with the Goonies, "Hey you guys" is a totally acceptable way to address a group of people. Unfortunately there is a growing trend of individuals who are looking to be offended. And they refuse to be content until they are offended or triggered. It's the downside of constant connection through social media. I have written a few papers about the prevalence of social contagion being amplified by social media and instant gratification of confirmation bias in an echo chamber. Was very interesting to research.

🌻 distracting myself with some drilling and chilling while waiting for Milton to hit. I have some family that was devastated by Ian and hate that they will be getting hit again. I hope things get better for you with the headaches/ migraine issues it must be difficult, but your power through attitude will serve you well! ❤ p.s I am a guys and pop girl too, so no problem here!

@SherryM2366 4 дня назад

🌻I will be working on Pumpkins with Sunflowers next but without enhancements. I’m currently working on Under My Umbrella. I’m in NC but not western NC. Still so so much happening. I have found myself actually shaking so diamond painting is meaning more right now than ever. Then my daughter is in Tampa😢…just so much. I’m praying nonstop for everyone including you, Katie and your family. Better, brighter, more peaceful days are ahead. You are a GREAT mom and wife and handling everything so very well. I pray for you concerning your migraines and that a source may be found for continued relief. Sorry if I’m rambling, perhaps my state of mind during this unsettling time. I look forward to upcoming videos by you. It’s kinda a lifeline right now.

@denisemacdonald4031 4 дня назад

As a child in Michigan, I called it pop as does all my family there. I live in Colorado and we call it soda.

Funny that you mention event burnout. I’m just over a year into DPing and I still love events just for the camaraderie. I have so many unfinished WIPs from jumping around to events but often don’t finish. I’m hoping to finish my oldest WIP from a Christmas event last year by end of year! I did already finish my Drills and Chills project though 😂🌻

If you get the Rita Konya/Aria Illustrations kit, it has the lines from the perforated film and a white background. Someone posted in the Facebook group and it is extremely obvious. I got that one and I was really happy with my box, but it really took the wind out of my sales, especially because support didn’t offer any remedy for it.

For your information you can always appeal if you are turned down for any benefits. Thanks for the trip down memory lane re tech.

@amydavis4945 4 дня назад

I just kit up by order of what's on the Legend. But I'm also one that doesn't spend a lot of time fussing and mussing with "kitting up". Most of the time (except with DAC kits or any that provide pre-cut sticker labels) I don't even bother with symbols and stuff on my containers. I have many container boxes of various size and the containers in them are literally just numbered in numerical order (1-28, or 1-26, or 1-60 etc) and I just use the number on the legend (numerical order, not DMC). I have nothing against people that go to great lengths to kit up (printing labels, putting washi all around the edge, marking off sections, etc etc) because I know, for some, that is part of the enjoyment for them. That's just not me, lol. The less time I have to spend preparing to "paint", the happier I am! I do really appreciate that DAC (and I think some others?) are now including the pre-cut sticker labels in their kits - I do use those and it does make it slightly quicker/easier to select the right color when working when you can just scan for the symbol, so I use those whenever I can. What's really funny is that as much as I don't want to spend time kitting up, I do enjoy watching others do it. I'm weird.

@mysticrainne 3 дня назад

I grew up in Utah, and grew up saying 'you guys' I don't understand why it's offensive. I feel anything can be taken in an offensive way if someone tried hard enough. You can't please everyone ever. So, maybe shame on me, but I say 'who cares?' I'm having to get used to being called ma'am. I know it's not meant to be rude, but it's my least favorite term. Lol. I'd rather be called sir, haha. I don't know why. This week was really hard at work and home for me. Sometimes life is just hard and it sucks. Hope you enjoy your kit! 🌻

@liseboyd1014 4 дня назад

🍁🎃 It’s funny, I never even thought about kitting up in DMC order. LOL I kit up so that I never have to look at the legend on the side ever again. Numbers, letters, then by color light too dark. When I was younger I would be surprised to hear somebody say ‘pop’, but now I don’t think a thing about it. Same with ‘you guys’. British lingo will puzzle me still, but I’m getting used to it. I watch a lot of British shows on Acorn.

@rosedawn21 4 дня назад

I've lived in California for most of my life(a couple years in Mexico and one in Tennessee) and I regularly use the phrase "you guys" 🤷‍♀️ I use it in situations where there only men, women or mixed. Nobody has ever told me they feel offended. I do believe that some words or terms need to change but I find it annoying that people want to change every single thing that might be perceived as offensive. If someone told me personally that they didn't like to be referred to as "you guys" I would do my best to remember not to use that in front of them. But I do believe in showing grace to people especially when it comes to how they talk. Changing something that you've done your whole life is hard and takes time. But that's just my two cents 😊

I grew up and still live in western New York. We say “guys” all the time, meaning a group. Also, we do not say “soda” for a carbonated drink, it’s still POP! So you just go ahead and keep your midwestern phrases and don’t let anyone bug you about it. Every region is the country has its own style of speaking and no one should take offense. Be kind people!

So I spent the early years of my life in Ohio-both my parents are also from OH-and, yes, you guys and pop, right? But, I have spent the last 40 years in GA-and Y’all and “Coke” generically (for all soda/pop) is now the norm. What would one think is proper for the plural form of you if one of these isn’t used???? Most folks outside of the south roll their eyes at Y’all so I can’t imagine that becoming standard outside of the south. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

@morissasweeney 2 дня назад

You don't need to change everything you say when people are sensitive about things. There are serious offenses, and this is not one of them. I think it's not fair to lack an understanding cultural aspects of how people speak, especially when it is not harmful. As a fellow Ohioian, I feel deeply about "pop", too. 😊

@ArdethWexler 4 дня назад

"U guys", doesn't bother me at all, different areas have different ways to describe things, or slang. Like soda =pop or here we call them soft drinks. I personally think it's very interesting, the by uses of different words. Have a great day
