I’m hoping so! It’s not the end of the world either way. Right now im most annoyed by the unnecessary confetti towards the top. I’m gonna not be super accurate with the background. There are 4 pinks and all are soooo similar that you can barely tell them apart 🙄
Raleigh has a Christmas parade the Saturday before thanksgiving. The first Sunday in December a historic neighborhood has an ArtWalk where you can purchase handmade goods. For new years they will drop the acorn downtown and have lots of activities and fireworks 💥
Enjoyed the cat interval 🤣 "Oh here comes Sharkey and Duncan...Duncan thinks the box is for him" "Duncan, thanks for your help, you need to move now" *sits down* "No, you can't stay there" *lies down* *Wrestling match begins* Edit jump to working on canvas as if nothing has happened 😺🤣 Edit: In London (and Europe in general) we generally have Christmas Markets which is normally a catch all name for food trucks, fairground type attractions, arts and crafts and usually some snow somewhere (fake if the real deal isn't available😅) or ice skating. They tend to be free to enter, though some will charge a small entry at peak times, but the attractions within you pay for. If you just want to go and soak up the Christmas vibes though, yeah, usually you can go do that for free.
The cats are always soooo helpful. I know they smelt Jill’s cats on the box as well 😂 your Christmas markets sound a lot calmer than the ball of chaos I went to. I’m fine paying for certain things, but we got ripped of for sure!!
In Houston there’s tons of Christmas stuff. The Nutcracker Market is HUGE and super peopley. I went ONCE. That was enough for me. My daughter goes every year. I have a problem paying for the chance to buy something. Our suburb does do a Christmas parade every year and that’s. As I’m typing this my neighborhood is having a golf cart parade and after it’s cookies with Santa.
Really? I wasn’t overly impressed, but I also don’t like spaces where I’m crammed into a small space with lots of other people 😂 this painting is coming out really good!
I'm the same as you when it comes to being a passenger! I can't stand being driven by almost anyone. Sounds like it's more expensive to live where you are than here! I'd love to live in a much smaller town but don't know where to go...Your painting is turning out so beautifully and the llama's face is cute but I'm not sure how I feel about the crystals. They always say you need to stand away from your paintings when viewing them, so with your face up so close, it's hard to tell but it doesn't sound like a good place for crystals.
Our area is stupidly expensive. They think everyone has six figure incomes and we get taxed to the extreme. Sales tax is almost 10%, gas taxes make a gallon of gas almost $4 and property taxes are crazy. Makes it hard to want to go and spend money. I like the idea of small town living, but don’t know if I could actually do it 😂
@@Crafty-ishKristyn no 1/2 birthdays and my sister is 2 days before me 😂 Thanks mom & dad 😂 My due date was actually my sister’s b-day. But I held out 2 more days 😂 Momma spent Christmas 1969 in the hospital 🎄
Im having the hardest time with all putties right now. I'm starting to think it's the canvas not being sticky enough. Like, I put my finger on the glue and it feels sticky but all the drills stay on the putty and will not transfer to the canvas.
@Mushmellow79 I got some dotz stick. I hope it makes it easier and less frustrating. I put some on the canvas the other day but have not done that section yet.
@Mushmellow79 I am on a little break im working just about everyday and the towns lights are going on which means it's a thousand times busier lol. I'm already ready for things to go back to normal lol
He knows it's from Auntie Jill. He smells all of our cats and says, "It smells like my cousins..my people " Glad that you like your gifts. Seen them and had to. Mandatory ❤ The crystals it creepy. It counts!! DANGER LLAMAS😮 we can call it murder pink. Not Seatle😮. I just give my license to Tom and move on. Very dangerous for you and wallet. At least she picked it up. We have drive through Christmas lights in local parks. Then you can see Santa. It costs for pictures bit, it's like 5 dollars. They have the options for refreshments like warm drinks and desserts. That's a couple of dollars for them. We participated decorating a campsite where we camp. You can drive through and see Santa. It's $7 a carload. Plus donations if you choose to donate. ❤ Phillip birthday is Dec 21st. It's crazy. We are doing 3 get together. 21st, 22nd, 23rd. I take the bonus child to the VA for exam on the 24th. So yeah busy week. Christmas we are sitting on our butts. Eating breakfast, playing games, doing a Christmas live, and listening to dysfunctional Christmas songs and laughing. Mama is to relax after that week.
I’m sure they could smell your cats on the goodies! Love all the hometown festivities. Would be less stressful and fun than the giant productions we always seem to go to.
Kitty is like "my box now, not moving" lol
@@Crafts_with_Nightingale exactly the little turd lol
He’s such a pain in the butt! I’m just glad he didn’t sit on anything fragile 😂
Love the release papers ❤
Thanks 🩷🩷
I think the llama face will look fine from afar.

Love it! I’d rather do stuff like that to support small businesses. And you never know what kind of cool stuff you might find!
Dunky !! Nice to see you!! ❤🐈⬛
He was so kind to grace the internet with his presence 😂
I want Care Bear stickers!!!! I want the notebook! Socks!! I want all the Care Bears stuff!!!
She really found some great stuff!
I agree about the crystals on the face. Bwahaha the sinister Llamas
There are looking eviler by the day 😂 I thought I had some fake mustache’s but can’t find them, so mustaches cut from card stock will have to do 😂
Enjoyed the cat interval 🤣
"Oh here comes Sharkey and Duncan...Duncan thinks the box is for him"
"Duncan, thanks for your help, you need to move now" *sits down*
"No, you can't stay there" *lies down*
*Wrestling match begins*
Edit jump to working on canvas as if nothing has happened 😺🤣

Super peopley is a stress sandwich for me! A golf cart parade sounds much more my speed 😂
I pray baby girl is feeling better.
Thank you! It was a combination of a few things but is back to her spunky self!
Hubs is gonna get me that big gray chair! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can’t remember what chair that is, my brain is fried at the moment 😂
I went to the enchanted christmas light maze to at the stadium a couple days after you. I love the diamond painting that you are working on
Really? I wasn’t overly impressed, but I also don’t like spaces where I’m crammed into a small space with lots of other people 😂 this painting is coming out really good!
yo sharhy and Duncan and peeps
I don’t have my glasses on and I read that at Sharty, like a 💩 fart 😂😂 and then some sparkling water came out of my nose 😂😂
Not the Pampered Cheff nooo I can't believe that MLM is still around. Really any of them. 😂😮
I’ve done a few in my days, but always ended up spending more money than I ever made … cough Stsmpin up and DoTerra 😂

The crystals look okay from far away. But I still don’t like them. 😂 glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like to be a passenger 🩷
😂 feel bad for me - Christmas Eve babe here 😂😂😂
Oh geez!! I bet that was rough as a kid! Did you do half birthdays or celebrate a different time?
@@Crafty-ishKristyn no 1/2 birthdays and my sister is 2 days before me 😂 Thanks mom & dad 😂 My due date was actually my sister’s b-day. But I held out 2 more days 😂 Momma spent Christmas 1969 in the hospital 🎄
I got the Artdot putty and it's to sticky for me. I'm going to keep trying it though. It may do better in my single placer hmmmm
It was way too sticky for me too. I really wanted to like it but just couldn't make it work for me!
I have success with it 50% of the time. Once that pen sat out a few hours I could use the putty with no issues. I wouldn’t buy it again.

@@diamondsandthoughts I'm have to make sure I keep an eye on your channel! (I'm a notoriously behind watcher lol)
That could be it! I had a kit that had very low track and was a night mare to work on!

Sounds like you are going to be busy leading up to Christmas! Don’t over do it!! 🩷
MUSHY BEAR?! REALLY?
Dude, I don’t even remember what I said. But it was probably accurate 😂
You're a doody head. I heard what you said.
Like I said, I don’t rememberer what was spoken. But since you are outraged it probably was spot on😂
