WIP n' Chat - Why I'm starting a Youtube, diamond painting for mental health, and tips and tricks 

Just found your channel and already loving it! You are so “REAL”! Agree 💯 % that a high quality product makes the whole DP experience better. Love DAC, I am actually somewhat obsessed and has purchased way too many. So glad it’s Friday as I will be binge watching your channel and diamond painting all weekend long. 😘

OMG, I now know why my dog barks like the way he does. He has a howl like bark that's really loud...Every time he hears a noise outside the house. He's a pyrenes mixed with Akita. He's loud and very protective over me

Two minutes in and I’m laughing out loud…. I’m watching vids at 3am as I’m awake in pain and distracting myself… you’re very entertaining 😀

I purchased my first from Amazon. I feel your pain 😂 I’m glad I found your channel! I truly enjoyed the whole video! I can tell you are true to your real self and I appreciate that. I’m going to watch all the videos you have up. Thank you 😊

You had me at stupid dog outfits lol While I am not a big fan of DAC (customer service wise) I totally agree with their multiplacers - they are a game changer, for sure, and I also hear that they are changing them to be a screw in type tip, which would be easier than using the washi or other kind of tape to make them fit all pens. I have been doing DP for about four years and obsessed, which one could tell if they could see my stash (lol its bad bad) Congrats on your channel!

New subscriber here. Going back to watch your videos until I can catch up. I’m retired & on a fixed budget, so I’ve been buying “budget friendly” kits, but I’m tired of wasting my time on kits that end up frustrating me bc of inferior quality. Getting frustrated is the opposite effect I want when I diamond paint. I’ve splurged on a few quality kits, but it’s rare. To be honest, the premium companies don’t have near the variety of selections as the budget friendly imo. Oh well, it’s my problem & no solution. Lol. I’m still in love diamond painting!

Hi..thank you for your video..I myself started diamond painting at the start of my “recovery “and I have found it extremely helpful..I don’t usually leave comments but I really connected with you..thank you for starting a channel..xx

I bought my first diamond art 5 or 6 years ago from a TV craft shopping channel. I'd never seen anything like it before. I didn't know about pens,trays and other accessories until maybe 6 months ago. I didn't know their was RU-vid or Facebook groups until maybe 4 or 5 months ago. I must have been hiding under a rock. 😂😂🎉❤

I bought my first kit from Amazon a mandala and I was hooked. Amazed at how relaxing it was. I also threw away my 1st square, a mystery painting from Temu. Had 1/3 done on top and bottom,couldn't tell what it was....haven't done a square since...I have them just not sure yet...lol

Hiya! I'm newish to diamond painting, but not at all new to crafting. I've got a group of Discord friends who like jigsaw puzzles and also diamond painting. Well I like jigsaw puzzles so I thought I'd give diamond painting a try to see what all the fuss was about. So last year, I'm at Hobby Lobby and there it is, you guessed it, Starry Night by my favorite painter Vincent Van Gogh. Did I buy it? No. If 53 years on this planet has taught me anything, it is to not jump in head first for once, and spend a lot of money on something you might not like. Off to Amazon and a budget 5 pack of silhouette trees with swirly colorful backgrounds. I see the date on that order was August 2023. I did those 5, single placing with the included pink pen and squishy, bought another set of different trees and got my Starry Night kit. I was really paying attention this time because I did watch very many youtube vids about "Things I wish I knew" before I started spending money. I bought one bottle case, one resin pen, and an A3 instead of A4 light pad with the on/off switch on the side and not the top. Sweet. Let me please also offer support to those on a recovery journey. I'm 18 months sober. Some days are hard, but the days that I don't think about it are gradually becoming much more frequent. Diamond painting really does help keep one focused on healthier things. We got this!

New sub here but not a new diamond painter. I agree with most all the advice you gave except the unfacts that all premium companies use Evermoment. In fact, if you ask any of the companies that you mentioned that none of them use every moment. I ordered an expense evermoment painting custom back the end of last year and it was the worst canvas i have ever bought. I filed a dispute because they refused to replace it. They have really went downhill in the past couple of years. TFS❤❤❤

Just found your channel. Enjoyed it very much except that sometimes your voice cuts out. I started diamond painting when my husband of 48 years passed away. I was very depressed and needed something to keep my me from severe anxiety and depression. My husband and I knew each other from elementary school. Good luck with your channel.
