When you said "you had to measure your husband" 😂

I love the evee evolutions thanks for sharing these!

Hi Valerie🤗 Oh, those Happy Gourds are really adorable🥰 So happy your new picture frame is not broken👍Oh my, that little snow man painting is really adorable, it's probably too tiny but I do like it😊 Thank you for sharing all these items😘

Looks like a gnome with his big nose in that 3rd square

The picture with the leaves inside the window are probably like the little vase of golden leaves in the middle of the window. I used to do decorations like that when I could walk and hike. I would bring interesting shaped or colorful tree branches home and put them in a vase, especially during autumn. Thank you for the in-depth dive into the different companies on Temu.

Thank you for the attempt at comparison! I think you do a great job explaining the what’s and why’s of Diamond painting. I have learned a lot watching your channel. You think outside the box! 😊💕💕💕

So, Senterwan is like Diamond Dotz...great round drills, maybe think twice about the squares.

I use post it notes on a daily basis! I love hearing your son's insights into stuff that we usually never even think about. 😆 Work really can be SO draining and I just want to sit and diamond paint afterwards. I definitely wouldn't be able to make videos too. I'm not sure how youtubers can do it all and then deal with the nasty people on top of it. Why can't they just skip it and keep their thoughts to themselves? At least it counts as engagement either way! Delete away! Your mental health is more important than their nasty comments.

Another justification for her is she is from Michigan so she can call it Michigan minute due to her living and doing the update from Michigan!

I know several people who take their finished projects to craft shows and they usually do pretty well with selling them…. lol, about the butterflies. You would hate living where I live, the walking path by my house goes through the woods and along a river. In the summer there are tons of butterflies. Do you know the scene in Encanto where all the butterflies are swarming around them? It’s really like that walking along that path. I love it though, I feel like princess when I go walking.

I also use the minwax to seal

My bf is an employment specialist for Developmentally disabled. He struggles as well.

Hi, your Son makes me giggle, he's so cute. Yes to the U-Tube WIP 'n' Chat. Yes, I do totally understand what you are saying and feeling. Hang in there, I think you're an awesome person. Sending loving and calming vibes your way. Cheers, from Australia.😊

Your hands are very irritating sorry 😂 showing your face would have been better.

I totally understand what you mean about expenses. So many regarding school. My daughter goes back to college soon. Books, tuition, car/insurance and first year in an apartment 😩. Cars and car insurance don’t get me started.

I almost didn't stop to watch a previous video when I saw "knits4sanity" while I was browsing youtube bc I don't knit. I tried to learn to knit & crochet at one time when I was much younger, but my brain & fingers refused to cooperate. I learned cross stitch & embroidery in my twenties, but my eyesight worsened as I aged. Currently, at seventy I like diamond painting & your recent video about buying diamond paintings on Temu caught my attention. I go back & forth on this issue constantly & still haven't made a permanent decision, but I really liked the video. My intention for commenting today before I digressed into a whole other discussion at the beginning, is to let you know how much I appreciate you showing your face. I often wonder what the content creators look like & while a few of them show their faces, I get that not revealing facial ID as a content creator is a personal choice. It wasn't until this video that I realized that I like knowing what a content creator looks like bc I feel a more personal connection. I just wanted to let you know my opinion on showing your face & that I appreciate it. It doesn't matter to me whether you or other people with youtube channels show their faces on every video or not, but it's nice to match a voice with a face at least once. I enjoyed getting to hear about you & your stories, so thank you! 🥰

I bought the spring and summer mystery kits and the ghost you have and it's companion kit I want to do one of the ghost ones for Halloween this year.....I haven't done any of the bella kits yet....looking forward to doing them

'And it came with a dead bug' omg 😂 i laughed so much 💜🩷

Thank you for sharing your face! I get it on disability issues because I’m deaf. But thank you so much for sharing!

I've always loved watching people do diamond art kits, so I decided to try one out! It was so fun I ended up getting more 😂

some of us don't give a toss that they are not the best quality because we want to try the craft but just as everything in life the poor get told to get f'ed. We need these cheap kits because it means the less fortunate can still do a craft and not give too tosses what those of you with money think. In fact I have a few of them and my mate told me she has the same on of stitch but how could i afford it. I laughted at her and just said i saved as she didn't find anything that looked different stop showing off your money, Unsubbing sorry, BYE

I would love for you to do a video doing the painting! ❤

I think Temu's flower is not a violet but a crocus 💮

I love the little kittens & the teddy bear.

🐞 thanks for sharing!!

Hi Valerie🤗 So nice to SEE you again😆 But I'm also happy when I just HEAR you😂 Face or no face, it's all ok for me!!😘

Ya, close up vision starts to go after 40. 😊😊 I’m glad you did this. My husband always pushes me to do real face videos. 😂

I'm glad that work has picked up for you. I can only imagine how difficult it is trying to jump through all the hoops just to try and get them proper care.

Oh my! HAHAHA! Umm, thank you for your face to camera? It hasn’t been that long ago(right after your retreat) that you did a video showing your face. Anyway, hi! Glad I got to see you! I’m not sure what your occupation is, but I work with Intellectually/developmentally disabled adults. It’s very difficult at times to get the resources they need! It is very frustrating and heart breaking. All humans matter. That’s all I’m going to say about that! So thank you for sharing your lovely face and the talk! ❤❤❤

I ordered Feathered Duet today along with a Baby Snow Leopard kit. Thank you for the review and for pointing out the protective film on the divider! I didn't realize it had this and it looks a lot prettier! 🥰 I'm working on the Dreamer canvas, Collective Consciousness by Mikey Bergman.

Hi Valerie, very beautiful painting! Thank you so much for sharing! I loved the stained glass look in the paintings! Love and Blessings! ❤❤❤❤

Hi Valerie🤗 Very pretty and in the perfect size!!! I'm so happy that they make these smaller kits now and that you can choose between round or square!! Perfect😃

Thank you for the very comprehensive video. 😀 Unable to sleep, I listened and passed 97 levels of candy crush during the video. This time was well spent for sure! I plan to give temu a try and enjoyed all of your critique's.😊

Thank you for this video! I have found things via Google Image from Temu and not been sure the other place/person didn't also steal/borrow that image. It's very hard to tell. Just because someone put it on Etsy or elsewhere doesn't always mean it's their original art either. I'm just saying it's confusing for me. Also, names like Senterwan are just wild guesses as to what sounds like an English brand name -- most of the ones on Amazon that are from Chinese companies have nonsensical odd names. Senter would not be Chinese -- wan does sound Chinese -- but Senterwan doesn't mean anything and isn't Chinese.

TY for sharing this w/us today! Nice unboxing & beautiful image & gorgeous colors! And omg I love anything stained glass or super bright colors/rainbow, etc 🎉❤ Waaaaaahhhhh! 😭🤣😭🤣😭 I'm sooooo naughty, I love Dreamer Designs...& had bunch of rewards/a BOGO50, etc....and bought 5 (all "rainbow" 🌈🌈🌈🌈) kits from them today...which I can pay for "later" if u get my drift 😂 Ugh! (naughty) OMG...I hadn't bought anything from them since June 2023...so that makes it ok, right?! 😂😂😂😮😮😮 Anyway, what's done is done & I'm shut off for another year! lol 😂

I love the stained glass canvases too. Very pretty one you picked out.

I love the AB pen they include. It doesn't take the AB coating off the drill. I feel like I need to rewax it more often though.

I just received my first Dreamer Design kit. I only had one divider in my tool kit. I have also discovered if you put the squishy on the pen from the top, they go on so much easier, not sure why.

This is a very I interesting review. I just want to say that the pic of the window and the leaves on the original art work, that there are branches and leaves inside the windows. So the rendering is pretty accurate.

Ooohh boy that’s big! But I like it! I’m not very familiar with Pokémon but the characters look fun! ❤❤

🐞I think that big one is amazing and it will look AWESOME when finished

Wow, that Eevee painting is really big🤭 But I love all the bright colors!! I think the small one will turn out very nice too🥰

MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!

You get 15% off if you are on there face book vip group for dac.I have a couple of the temu kits coming to try out,

So cute!!! 🥰🥰 My favorite are the Sparkle Pals, they are funny😁 but I like the 2 full diamond paintings too😆

Hi Valerie🤗 I like both versions. There is a store here in Belgium that sells some Craft Buddy items, I found some of the Crystal Art Buddies over there but not the Harry Potter ones. Diamond Painting Deutschland (Germany) sells Craft Buddy items too. Ordering in the UK is more expensive for me, not really because of the shipping cost but because of the extra import duties (Brexit). Thank you for the comparison, it's always very interesting!😗

Craft buddy do a larger version similar to these. I love craft buddy. ❤

love these comparison videos. ❤I don’t like Harry Potter but I have a cousin that loves it

Awesome comparison. I hadn’t heard of Craft Buddy, so I also found a new company. Thank You!
