Cannot wait for the reveal, passion projects, and progress on your WIPs I am not buying anything this year so far and I am happy. I only work on my 2nd diamond painting from my rather big stash and I hope to finish at least a half of it until I buy more. It will take me more than 3 years at this point though 😢
Hi Nataliya - one baby step at a time. Sounds like a plan. Just do a small section at a time and you'll make it to the halfway point before you know it. I'll cheer you on. Keep me updated okay? Which one is it?
Thanks Lissette for all your help and inspiration. I don’t jump on sales necessarily just on the paintings themselves especially detailed beauties. I too put them in my cart at DAC and deleted them the last several Saturdays. This last weekend is really a bummer. Several I wanted, but I still didn’t bite. One “The Old Mill” has me making excuses (I have some points; it will sell out; it reminds me of the trip with mom)Then the argument “you have enough scenic landscapes” , you don’t need something from everywhere you traveled, money for more important things. I haven’t jumped yet, trying to keep busy with other things. What a battle. Looking forward to seeing what you bought, but I think I know one of the DAC’s. Have fun and enjoy. You look so happy. Stay safe and well. Peace and love abide with you 💕
I have my limit at 10, but was willing to go one higher for Soul of the Storm, but it sold out in less them 3 minutes. I wasn't one of the lucky ones so it wasn't meant to be.
Hi Lissette. I have rewatched the first three videos of the Sunday Stash Count and the journal several times. The more I watch it, the more I like the idea. I like the way you make it for you for fun, like the jar. I’m not sure I have 24 in my count unless I use budget. If I start this I think I’ll make a separate one for the budgets. Not sure. Thank You for sharing your ideas!
Hi Lisette. So good to anticipate more videos - more than once a month. I have one painting that I have made my unicorn - Threads of the universe. It’s still out of stock. Otherwise, I’m not buying any from anywhere because I just have too many large paintings waiting to be done so I don’t need anymore. Just really WANT that one I just mentioned. Anyway good to see you. ❤
Hi April - oh I totally get that, because that's a stunner. I've seen multiple creators unbox it and work on it. The colorpalet is awesome. Hope you'll be able to get it soon.
Love all your charts. One thing I have done is unsubscribed to DAC (and others) emails. I also unfollowed DAC social media. It has helped a ton. I’m don’t miss seeing what’s new. I will visit the DAC website every-so-often just to see what they have. I’m also limiting myself to 3 DAC paintings a year.
Hi Linda - yes, I think that's a big help. I don't check my emails that often, but the time I did I was immediately tempted - so good point. Maybe I'll do the same going forward. I'm going to think on it.
@@amanda_g147 you’re welcome. It was hard to hit the unsubscribe link 🔗 in the email 📧 and social media. I can honestly say I don’t miss them. It’s actually very freeing.
I really like your new system, not only to keep stashes under control, but you can actually see what you have to work on next. It’s hard to remember what I have when they are stacked up in the closet. Thank you! 😊
Hey Lisette! I’m very intrigued by your new stash system. I am working my way through my stash (still adding to it though). I look forward to seeing what you bought!!
Thanks so much - I hope you'll like my choices. I've already gotten some feedback from the friends of the channel (who get early access to my videos) and they were very surprised....
What an interesting way to keep your stash in control. I have not bought any paintings this year. I have over 100 in my stash and feel that I need to get them done before buying more.
Hi Nataliya - the no buy is the hardest part - so setting a no buy for a couple of months (or an entire year) is huge - don't underestimate what an accomplishment that is. If you need a buddy to cheer you on - count me in.
Hi Lisette, c'est un réel plaisir de te suivre dans cette nouvelle aventure ! Les explications sont très claires et j'ai hâte de la suite ♥ bon dimanche 🍫
I have several DP’s in my wish lists on a couple of sites that I have resisted so far. It’s so hard but I have put myself on a low buy. Love your new system. ❤
Hi Mia - I agree - but in order to keep my system as 'clean' as possible - I only have four categories. Maybe I should call that color 'other companies instead of small shops. Great point. I'll think about it.
Love your charts very colorful definitely a great way to keep,it fun 😜 . Do you know how long it will be for you to receive your Jade Diamond paintings ? The prices have definitely gone up 😮 . Read quite a few got their DAC one quite fast 😅. looking forward to your next video Got 2 big paintings on the go just now. 1 square. & 1 Round it will take me a while . Have a Good week 🥰
Hi Lisette! I love your Stash Count Sunday! I love to buy diamond paintings so I will try to control my spending but no guarantees😍. You are very strong. I am thinking of joining you but can it be more than 24 in a year? Thank you so much for sharing🥰🥰🥰
Hi Syvlia - of course it can be more than 24 in a year - you can do whatever you want. That's just the number I'm working with. Just start and try and see where it brings you would be my suggestion. What number are you thinking of?
@@LisetteCraftsandTells Well I was thinking 36 in a year. I don’t know😬. I have to figure out how many I bought this year so far😵💫. I might be in trouble already😂. Sending hugs💞💞💞
@@scrappingsylvia Just realize that after I've reached 24 - than I'm going to take the completed ones out and then I can add up again until I get to 24. So if you go for 36 ...just start now. So just do 10 like me as a starting point (so not everything you've bought this year - just 10 of those or maybe a couple of those and some of your WIPS) and from now on keep track of your buying. Once you get to 36 - than take out the completed ones and once again you'll have room to buy me more;....you've got to start somewhere.
Lisette, I truly appreciate your encouraging words. If I relapse and buy, don't worry, keep trying to not buy. I have to rewatch your videos when I get tempted 😂.
The struggle not to buy is real. I almost bought that DP you sneaked peeked to us from Dreamer Designs...but I managed to resist. It's in my wish list now. I hope to be able to buy it a later stage, if not, then, well...I'll survive it I think 😆.
I‘m since this april in the stash-detox 😁 I‘ve 38 DP‘s and my detox is: finished 5 DP and then I can buy one new. Only one wildcard and without the 4 DP on my wishlist on DAC ( because I wait so long for the restock 😰)
This was a great video! Have you ever checked out Diamond Painting Fanatics from the UK? Cindy is amazing to work with, has a good variety of artists and paintings. Just an idea!
I probably need your help, after my stash count 😂 I did a impulse buying moment last night with etsy, so yeah its hard but we keep trying as a team out there 💪💜
Hi Lisette, I am curious, witch additional fees and taxes do you pay for the kits from Jaded Gem Shop. Because I live in Germany, it will be simular like shipping to France. Greetings from Germany
Hi Conny - me too. I'll have to get back on you with that one, because I have no idea until they actually show up at my house. I'll definitely keep you updated - because I've gotten a lot of questions about this from fellow Europeans.
Yay for the first Stash Count Sunday video! I am going to add a section to my log book now to total my 2024 purchases. My intent is to try to wait until Black Friday every year to make the majority purchases, with extra room in my stash for a few other purchases throughout the year.
The finish 2, buy 1 has worked really well. This week was really hard with releases as there were quite a few from artists that I love that came out. However, I managed not to get any and put quite a few on the wishlist. I think I cracked how DAC puts paintings into the archived so keeping an eye out.
Awesome vid! A sale has to be more than just giving me "free shipping" for me to jump on it. When these companies consistently give 10% off or 15% off, a sale has to be 50% or more for it to be worth it, IMHO. :)
Hi Nate, yes If you've lost diamonds when working on a premium diamond painting kit like DAC or Dreamer Designs you can contact customer service to ask for replacements (depends on how many of course - and the reason for losing them). Otherwise you can buy replacements at a shop that sells them. For instance at Jaded Gem Shop or Francesca's Studio Works.
Once the 2 from Jaded Gem Shop become an official part of your inventory you'll have 6 months of active stash! 😃 👍Will you consider maybe a Diamond Dotz kit in the future? 🤔 We'll see!😃
i must admit i cheated dekota daetwiler close your eyes i just couldnt let that one go but its ok to allow for one cheat after completing two diamond paintings. this artist is my all time fav.
Ohhhh special deals at DAC or DD are dangerous for me too. Yesterday there was a really good special offer at DD… I First filled my basket and then I waited before checking out.. it was like a devil and an angel on my shoulders 😂 One say : Buy it otherwise you will regret it later.. and the other says: you have enough, when will you paint them all a.s.o. At the end I put them all out of the basket and bought nothing this time. And this was the right decision in this case because a few minutes later DAC showed a Painting for saturday that I really love and must have 🫣🫣🫣

Great that you're able to see it that way - it wasn't meant to be - I try to think that as well about the ones that got away, but man that's hard....
My new favorite thing about Sundays!

What an interesting way to keep your stash in control.
I have not bought any paintings this year. I have over 100 in my stash and feel that I need to get them done before buying more.
I’m of the same mind with 100 + a few small bargains. Not buying is hard. I may do like 6 and I can buy one, but I definitely need to get them done.
I have around 80 and with my slow pace it will take me years to get them done. So I am not buying anything at least this year
Yeeeaaahh- that means you haven't bought anything for 3 entire months. That's already such an accomplishment.
Hi Bev - also a great system - if that works for you - go for it.
Hi Nataliya - the no buy is the hardest part - so setting a no buy for a couple of months (or an entire year) is huge - don't underestimate what an accomplishment that is. If you need a buddy to cheer you on - count me in.

Hi Joyce - de stashing the ones that you're sure you're not going to work on is a great option to decrease your stash.
