🧜♀️ I think it’s great that you joined the PTA! It is extremely beneficial to the children and the teachers to have parents involved, helping and supporting our schools! 😁
Katie, your doing a great job and you are one of my favorite content creators. Honestly there are so many great people in the dp/crafting community! Never let the few bad apples get you down
I find you to be extremely honest with all your unboxings, post reviews and comparison videos. That’s one thing I really like about you is that you still say things you don’t prefer about companies even though you are an affiliate for them. It’s refreshing!! I appreciate your honesty. The haters are going to hate but those of us who have been around for awhile know the truth!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I think that you do an amazing job with your unboxings and I really love your post reviews. I laughed when you were talking about collecting and I realized that I have been a collector at heart since I was young. When I was growing up I collected the collector spoons from every state I visited and I also collected porcelain dolls and rocks and crystals. Now as an adult I have moved through collecting various things especially since Covid started and I have been home so much. I collect perfume, yarn, cross stitch stuff, diamond paintings and accessories, elephant figurines and books. I definitely think collecting is one of the fun aspects of crafting and I also love to try and coordinate my washi tape, pen, wax etc when I am doing a project. I just love the way you organize everything and I feel like my brain works the same way. I was showing my kids the other day and they just sighed and said, "wow that looks like a ton of time and work to set everything up for diamond painting." It is fun to me though!
I like your videos. You are very informative about diamond paintings and showing us different paintings, pens, and also showing us sneak peep of new ones. By talking about your sons you can tell you are a very good mom. If you want to take them to McDonald’s on Saturday then take them. Those are sweet memories that you and your sons will always remember. Plus, it’s a mommy and sons outing. I did the same thing. I too, collect some things and I still have them.
Again, so much fun listening to you chat away! You definitely do not come across presumptious, I liked watching your methods for picking out accesories, and definitely did not feel that your way was the only right way! Keep going, loving the content you create!🧜♀️
🧞♀️🧜♀️really enjoyed your video. I love all your WIPS don’t care what they are. The DP craze got me good this summer. But this one I am sticking with.
Hi Katie, I would love to see a comparison done on a paint by numbers and a matching diamond painting. I have been hoping someone would come up with that idea, it would be so cool to see. Thank you for the WIP and chat, I love to hear all the stories 🧜♀️
I am new to your channel since Drills and Chills. I can relate to so much of what you say and I really enjoy your WIP/Chats. I have yet to record one myself because it feels so intimidating, but you make it look so easy. Keep it up! You may hit that 10,000 sooner than you think!! 🧜🏻♀️
I remember collecting the Beanie Babies from Mcdonalds lol. I still have my Beanie Baby collection. Some of them are apparently worth thousands of dollars now! Love the colors in your diamond painting! 🧜🏻♀️
I was not into the Beanie Babies craze, but I did collect the Breyers horse figurines when I was younger, and those were a lot of fun. I also collected Star Wars figures, and my Mom threw them all out when I went to college not knowing they were worth money.🤦🏻♀️ Lady and the Tramp is one of my all time favorite movies, and funny enough, Adam's as well when he was growing up. Love the colors in this kit, and I look forward to your progress. xoxo 💜
Mermaid emoji!! Yes, I preordered DAC The Pumpkin Herder, and Descendant of the Volcano. I put the blinders on for the rest!! Maybe in the future. I also have that label maker! Love it! THANKS!!!!
I just love a good kit up. Especially in a EW. I ordered a TSA square and I am getting so much popping drills. I am going to have to seal it. I look forward to see how you get on with this kit. I think you’re right about the thrill of the hunt. I did it for make up, for simply gilded washi, and now diamond painting supplies! 😂🤷🏻♀️
My boys are 5 and 3, and my older son is hearing impaired and has a related vestibular disorder. I feel you so much on those assessments!! Hang in there!
Hi Katie. I remember all the McD's Beanie Babies Bears as I was that mom. I have a bag full of them still. I scored 3 paintings from the DAC Halloween release, Randal Spangler Jack O'Lantern Time, Molly Harrison Witch Way, and JBG Darling Dragonling 2. I am a collector of too many things. I know I need to part with many of them and I will over the next year or two. I love your videos always.🌊🧜♀️
Loved the video! I’m actually at the beach right now. We came to Myrtle beach for fall break. We spent the day on the beach and now I’m winding down doing a little diamond painting!
Love that paint by number comparison video ideas! -you know with wip n chats, if the majority of people following you are mainly listening while working on their own dp or pbn, etc., Do you think it would really bother most of your subscribers that much? Then again I'm speaking for myself really, it wouldn't bother me bc I'm mainly just listening and enjoying your company, and hearing you talk about diamond painting of course, but also about your everyday life, family, kids, RU-vid, and so many things that I can relate to. Really I think you should do what feels right for you -bc that will help you keep your positive energy which in turn is what really inspires us.. (just my own thoughts about the paint by number-go for it! I might try one too!)
Hello! I was so excited to get Halloween Witch and looking forward to working on it. I love the colors of the kit you're about to start on. Thanks for a great kit down and chat and hope you have a great week!🧜🏾♀️
I totally understand what you are saying about speach therapy and their paperwork. I also have a child that has been in speech since kindergarten. He did not start to speak until the summer before kindergarten. He is now in 5th grade should be in 6th. And the paperwork is so stressful. I know that twich feeling lol. I never know what to say as far as how much he can be understood by the fam and friends vs people that dont know him even at the age of 11 he still has problems with his speech and understanding him completely. Keep smiling. Omg I just heard you say you live 15 mins from disneyland. I grew up in that area. Always lived with in mins from disneyland.
I'm pretty good. Just waiting patiently for a custom dp I had done for my father so I start on my very first Diamond painting ever! I'm also trying to order the accessories that I need with it so that's fun. i can't wait until I start and I'm also ordering another diamond painting for me as well. 🧜♀️
The colours in this kit look glorious!!🤩 I initially wanted to snag a couple Halloween releases but held off because no-buy and that they’ll be shipped after Halloween this year, but hopefully sometime during the year I’ll grab that Randal Spangler one and the Sarah Moustafa one because they’re so cute!😍🧜♀️
I love kitting up video's so thank you for this one! I love the colours on this kit 😍 I am happy for you that both your kids love school, that is so important. I am a collector myself next to Diamond Paintings things, I collect everything that have to do with Stitch ❤ Have a great week😘
I have 4 of the beanie babies from McDonald's, and I had Won the Princess Diana Bear from a chance to win at a souvenir shop in Fort Walton Beach, Florida when we were on vacation there! That was the first time I had won something like this!!🙂🙂💕💕
Back in college McDonald’s had those Dog toys? My friends and I went nuts for those for some reason and went around to different McDonald’s trying to collect them all. 🤣 I think I still have them in my garage! 🧜🏻♀️
Hi Katie! 🧜 working on my Hogwarts drills n chills project. I’m so close to finished. I will finish it this week! I’ve also been working on a witch for Festival of Witches. I really want Witch Way from DAC, debating whether to get it now… my stash is getting out of control so really trying to resist buying all the beautiful fun kits. Thanks for the WIP n chat! I made good progress. 😄Later!
I love your videos. 🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️ I picked up 3 paintings from DAC. Seasons change, descendant of the volcano, & darling dragonling 2. I'm plan on catching up my dp wips
I never really got into the Beanie Baby craze but I had a lot of the whole sets of Happy Meal toys when I was about Connor’s age. My aunt worked at McDonalds so she’d set the different ones aside for when we came through and ordered one so she could make sure I got one of each without getting in trouble. They had Barbie ones with different clip on outfits, and the different McDonalds food items that transformed. I had them ALL and they would probably be worth something now. Unfortunately, my mom gave them all to my younger sister to play with and they all got lost. ☹️ 🧜🏻♀️🧜♂️
I love WIP-N-CHATS even if they are kitting up or kitting down. I would love to see a post review of the Dragon Door kit that you just finished. My mother is/was an avid collector. Fun fact. She has every McDonald's ever made...unopened. (ones before 1975 are opened b/c she finds them 2nd hand in New condition) I remember being dragged all over God's Green Earth to every single McDonald's looking for those darn toys (that we weren't allowed to play with....nor were we allowed to eat the "delicious" smelling food) I was given 2 Cabbage Patch Dolls for Christmas when I was 12ish (in the early 80's) I was not allowed to open them. She She still has those darn unopened Dolls somewhere. 🧜♀️🧜♂️🧜🧜♂️🧜♀️🧜♂️🧜🧜♂️🧜♀️🧜♂️🧜🧜♂️🧜♀️
The Princess Diana bear is worth a lot if you have a very specific one. If you still have that I would do some research. I had to have the Sarah Moustafa witch. Shes so GORGEOUS. I might go back and get the Enys because shes one of my favorite artists. 🧜♀️
🧜♀️ LOVE the colors in this kit, oh my gosh. Can't wait to see which accessories you pick to use with them. :) My husband is working on Dragon's Door and it is SUCH a gorgeous canvas. Will you be doing a post review on that one? I just finished Warm Witch for the Festival of Witches and Drills and Chills, so now I'm working on Into Wonderland. I was lucky enough to snag the Sarah Moustafa dp as well as the black dragon on the skulls, hehe. I had so much fun working on the renderings for those and fell in love, so I'm excited to get to see them in person! I just recently managed to order some Elizabeth Ward storage containers for a low price on Amazon so I'm excited to try those too. Thanks for the video to keep me company as I work! EDIT: OH I forgot to mention, I'd absolutely love to watch you do a paint by number! :)
I’m debating whether to do a separate post review on The Dragon’s Door! It’s amazing 😍 Also, I’m soooo excited to work on kits that you’ve worked on the renderings for! That’s so neat!!
IDK if you know what kpop is but let me tell you we collect like crazy. It is korean music with solo artist and also groups, girls and boys. The groups have anywhere from 2 member up to 21 members. So a album will sometimes have different version and also some people collect all the photo cards that come in a album for all the members. So yeah I know about collecting things.
OMG I'm so excited - thanks so much Katie - Can't wait to get it - I'm in need of some fall or Halloween accessories or just about any accessories :) I'll have to make it to one of your lives if you do that - I think I just see the WIPs. Hope all is well and thanks again for hosting - check your email because I need your info as well *wink* I ordered The Pumpkin Harvester for next year and got my daughter the spangler one with the pumpkin. Be well!🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈🐙🐚 :( so sad no emoji that I"m looking for :(
Katie, as the mother of a child with special needs, I know eactly what you mean about all of the paperwork making your brain ache! And as my child is now 32 years old, I am here to tell you that you will survive! The struggle does not become easier because there is a whole sway of different challenges being the mother of a man who, intellectually is the equivalent of a roughly 5 year old. Damien has an IQ of less than 70 and he has virtually no fine motor skills. So though he looks relatively normal and he is mobile and he can talk (boy, can he talk!) he is total care; his meals need cutting up and h can only use a built up spoon, he needs to be shaved, teeth cleaned, showering, dressing and undressing....in short, everything to do with his personal care. If I can survive, then I know you will. I am glad you have your diamond painting to help you wind down. Keep up the wonderful videos. 🧜🏼♀️💐🤗
Have you tried when getting your Diamonds in, immediately wrapping your packages with a whole dryer sheet! Then see if they loose the static while laying on whole dryer sheet! Instead of chopping the dryer sheet up! I think if you place them in a bag whole dryer sheets the static will go away! No, I do not Diamond paint! It is a theory!
🐲🐉 I couldn't find a mermaid so you got dragons instead lol. Loved your kit up and can't wait to see it when it's finished.. And would also qualify for another event which is for breast cancer awareness and the hashtag is #dppinkforbca. ❤
Which size of the Elizabeth Ward containers Do you think you use the most? I’m thinking of buying extra containers and not sure which size I should buy.
Hi Katie! As I am working on an Oralia Diamond Painting, I got to wondering if you could chat about substituting AB drills for regular drills as you seem more familiar with them than I. I have a few AB in this kit but would love your input on how you would use these. Thank you and have a great week. 🥰
Hi Corrine! I actually talk a lot about my thought process for swapping in AB drills in this post review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NtsqWwXLMT4.html I hope that helps! ☺️
Loved listening to you whilst working on pink mermaid from DAC 🐚👙 (I don't have a mermaid emoji so used a shell and a bikini) my latest purchase from DAC is Alice in a bottle. So excited to work on this little gem 💎
We’ve known each other for about a year now and you still haven’t figured out that if you tell me to make the joke, I won’t give you the satisfaction. But if you tell me not to do something? That’s like a triple dog dare to do that exact thing. 😏
🐙no mermaids lol...this week nothing planned...stay home and diamond paint....oh yeah personally not interested in other crafts...just diamond painting
