Thank you for watching!

I appreciate your feedback. It feels a bit more awkward reading from a script, so maybe once I get more comfortable with this format it will feel more “real” again. Or maybe I will scrap this new format altogether and it won’t matter anymore. I’m shocked by how little time my stories took up when I was able to just read them out loud rather than needing my brain to multitask on speaking and diamond painting. I’m glad to know I am not alone!

I greatly appreciate you commenting and sharing your experiences! Eventually I’m going to need to get true diagnoses because I know some of my “signs of xyz” are definitely forms of masking for my underlying issue(s). I wish breaking chores down into a daily list was more helpful for me, but every time I’ve tried, I just find that my accountability to myself doesn’t exist! I’ll stick to the list for a few days, maybe a week, but then I go back to avoiding all of the necessary chores again. The thing that truly motivates me is procrastination haha When I have other tasks that I’m avoiding is when I am the best at tackling a long cleaning to do list! I think the giving myself grace part is where I need to focus some more energy-not feeling guilty about not getting a task done when I told myself I should/would. But I have to be careful to not go too far and let that be an excuse for myself to lounge around for a week (or more) avoiding the chores until I literally can’t avoid doing them anymore. But I am glad to know I’m not alone in this regular struggle (which from the outside looking in often seems so easy for others to overcome, if they experience it at all)!

I’m glad you were still able to experience some of the phenomenon even though it was cloudy. That probably made it even darker than it would have been! I thought it was supposed to be cloudy in my area too, but after some early clouds, the sky cleared out just in time for the peak of the solar eclipse in our area.

I appreciate your support of both my channel and my job hunt! I hope your life gets less messy soon, whatever that may look like for you.

Thank you so much for watching until the end and for commenting!

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Years seems about right! I do hope to share completions and post reviews, but I’m going to have to work on getting faster so it doesn’t turn into decades before I get through my stash!

Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting again, I always appreciate it!

I’m glad you enjoyed listening! Shoe shopping can be so frustrating. I’ve always been told that any spot that is uncomfortable will “wear in” eventually and it won’t hurt anymore, but that’s never been my experience! And then my feet just hurt all of the time! Hopefully your daughter has found (or will find) shoes that are comfortable for her. I’m hoping maybe I found something this week to look forward to on the job front, but nothing is 100% yet. I’ll definitely have updates in my upcoming WIPs though, so stayed tuned!

Yes! I’ve found that rubbing the glue dot to “dirty it” on my clothing to be super helpful too. I think this particular dot wasn’t as effective because when I first put it in my pen, I had been replacing my poster putty and some of the poster putty got mixed in with the glue dot. I had the glue dot pop out a few times when I first put it into my pen and I don’t think I was careful to make sure I was putting it back in the same way each time, so it’s really a mix of the two sticky mediums. It’s also been very humid where I am, so it seems like the glue dot is a bit tackier and while that makes it stick to the drills, it seems to have a harder time sticking to the cold metal placer! (Though that’s just a theory). In terms of me pressing the drills multiple times, I think that’s just the perfectionist in me! I’ll place the drill down but then feel like it isn’t centered enough so I’ll adjust it a little and then feel like it moved too much so I’ll push it back the other way. I didn’t use to do it with the sticky end of my pen, but I have been doing it with my broken diamond painting pen. When I have one with two functional sides, I will flip the pen around and push the drills around until I am happy with the placement with the single placing tip that is standard on most pens (without having any wax or putty in it). I’d bet once I start using a new pen, my glue dot will last me longer and behave better since I won’t be repeatedly taping the sticky part on the drill to make minor adjustments!

Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you so much for supporting my channel by watching the whole video! I really do appreciate it. I’ll have to go through my order histories to find my first diamond painting purchase, but I think that’s a great idea!

I’m glad you found it helpful! If you plan to work on your canvas with part of it still rolled up, I would recommend leaving the plastic cover sheet on the rolled portion initially. If you are able to work on the canvas flat, you can use cover sheets over the whole painting, but I found when I rolled the canvas with the release papers on it, the release papers bubbled and pulled away from the canvas more than I wanted.

Thanks for your feedback! I believe you can make cool cards too! (Truthfully mine don’t always turn out as professional looking as I’d like them to, but the process is a fun creative outlet for me anyway, and handmade cards aren’t supposed to be perfect!)

Thank you so much for your support and kind words! I’m glad you have been enjoying my videos!

Thanks for liking and commenting!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for voting! This will likely be the winning combination unless there are other votes added before the end of the month.

Thanks for watching and offering me feedback! This was my first video that I filmed, so I was still figuring out the best way to record. Hopefully my audio quality has gotten better and it is easier to hear me now! If you watch any of my more recent uploads, you’ll have to let me know if my sound is better for you!

Thanks so much for watching!

I’m glad others understand my struggle! It can be hard to resist buying kits.

Thank you so much for watching! I’ve heard confetti often times makes an image even clearer and more detailed in the end, so hopefully you find your end result is worth the confetti! I’ve never done an image with large sections of color blocking like this one has, so we will see how I feel about my single placing technique at the bottom of this image. I may have to start multi-placing. Or stick to kits that only have confetti to keep it interesting for me!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! We will have to see how long they stay organized. I may have added several more kits to my collection since filming (and am definitely eyeing a few more) so I’m not sure they will all still fit under the closet shelf once I get those new ones out of their shipping boxes!

Thanks so much for watching!
