    I love that you care so much about us and consider the things that we might want to see, but I'm pretty sure that I speak for all of us who have been following you, when I say that we just want to see you happy and enjoying what you're working on. Your excitement over Pumpkitten Spice was everything and you deserve to work on whatever makes you feel that joy every single time you craft. It isn't selfish at all. 💕🎄

    I truly want you to know regardless what you work on or show us , I’m sure I’ll enjoy it all. You are the first channel I found and it made me fall in love with Diamond painting and finding my peace. You be so honest and open about the craft and the things in life you go through has been so helpful. There really are people in life that works through some of the bumps in life like us. I’m grateful for you loving this and putting so much into your channel. It’s great that you have your mom there for a visit and I hope your birthday is a wonderful time. Also, I hope this canvas makes you as happy as you anticipate. ❤🎄☃️🎅🏼

    Hey ✨
    I haven't been here for a long time and I'm finally catching up on overdue videos, but seeing this image immediately brings a smile to my face. I have it on my wishlist and I'm patiently waiting for it to come back into stock. My dear, do what makes you happy. rest assured that we are here for you and what you do and the way you do it gives us a lot of joy because we see you happy. You can't really make everyone happy and it's better to do something that makes you happy than to do something that you are forced to do or someone tells you what to do. I am very proud of you and thank you for what you do for this community. You are an angel.

    If I like the painting, no matter what the holiday or season I will do it anyway. Often times I would like to do the painting ahead of time so I can hang it for the holidays. No need to apologize for how you are feeling and what you want to do. I truly enjoy your channel just the way you are.😁

    Hi Katie! I just kitted up this painting last night. I'm looking forward to starting it, it's massive but glorious! I struggled with the static also, but had some bags completely static free which was nice. Hopefully we can remain motivated to finish before Christmas! ☃🎅🎄

  • @amydavis4945
    @amydavis4945 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Have you ever read what it says across the top of **every** Diamond Art Club canvas? "Do what makes you sparkle". If that's Christmas in the beginning of November... or Christmas in July... let it be! If that is what "makes you sparkle" right now, then go for it and we will sparkle right along with you! Besides, seeing these kits worked up **before** Christmas helps us decide if we wanna do that one too... before Christmas!

  • @deekay6526

    Such a good video to keep me company 🤗 As a Christmas lover I can appreciate feeling the bug and wanting to get started earlier. I finished up a snack sized kit/kitted down while watching and will be starting Snow Castle by Randall Spangler….even though it’s 85 in TX 😅 Agree with others, love what you love! While I enjoy the variety of what you offer on your channel, your passion for this hobby comes through and your videos are varied enough to keep me returning:) 🎄

    @feliciaP406 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love seeing you so excited to start a kit!🎄 I’m a big believer in starting kits that make you happy, it doesn’t matter the season. I actually started a Christmas kit in September 😂 Mostly because I’m a really slow diamond painter and I’m hoping to get it done for my mom for Christmas. I know you’ve been in a reading slump and I was too until I started the audiobook “One Dark Window” by Rachel Gilling. I’ve haven’t been able to put it down. Thanks for the WIP and Chat, Katie!

    @melissawood4317 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    At least two “winter” events started November 1 so I don’t think that you are the only one ready to get on with Christmas. I am still trying to finish Halloween Bedroom, but I’m afraid that if I put it away I will never finish it! You have a lot going on…it’s important to find joy where you can. Your viewers will appreciate this and…you can’t be all things to all people. I love how you are enjoying this season of your boys. My kids are 19, 15, 10, and 8. 16 was not my favorite age…but all the rest of the ages have had a lot of joy. ❄️🎄

    You don't need to explain yourself, Katie. Doing something because you want to is good enough 🥰 Ps, I know you know this, but softly 'huh-ing' into the bag of stragglers is instant destaticification. Not sure if that's a word, but I know everyone will understand what I'm getting at 😂🎅

  • @dragonflydust-u5r
    @dragonflydust-u5r 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My other craft, quilting, involves starting holiday items long before December so I don't mind the Christmas paintings early. I bought the same kit and I can't wait until it gets here! 🎄

  • @quinellleftwich1781
    @quinellleftwich1781 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I dont mind the Christmas theme at all. Its not too early in my opinion. I love Thanksgiving but having SAD makes fall very hard for me. So, Im going to try to enjoy it thru you as much as I can. Also, I can completely understand your mom's frustration. DD makes me crazy too. The image may be beautiful but I dont enjoy the kit. I have a square one now that I bought months ago that I cant seem to finish. I am really considering trashing it. Cant wait to see what you have for us next!🎄☃ 🎁

    Thanks for your WIP & Chat ❤. I will cut open the top of the drill bag and very carefully blow into. Your breath is moist and tends to separate the drills. It works well for me. I hope it will help you and you don’t have to firstbout it on a dryer sheet

    🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋Hi Katie, my favorite Christmas was going to Maui.
    I am sorry I had to stop watching you on Monday, my Lumbar area and Sciatica was completely out of control. I had taken Codeine, Zanaflex, Tynanol Arthritis and Advil. It was until I rubbed Canabus cream on did the pain stop.
    Have a very happy birthday today. Glad your Mom is visiting. My Dad's Dad was from Columbus, OH. His Mom was from right outside of Chicago. My Granddad and his brother own a steel foundry called Warman Bros. Foundry.
    I have a paino, and for awhile was teaching myself.
    Enjoy your birthday.🎉🎉🎉

    Dip a q tip in rubbing alcohol and squeeze out. Swirl around in bag really well a few times and then pour into your container. Has always worked for me with staticy drills 😊

    🌰 ⛄ I'm totally feeling your mom about Diamond Dotz kits. I just completed my 1st and it turned out to be very pretty but was a complete pain to do.
    One of my favorite things about watching your channel is when you gleefully interact with our craft (unboxing favorite kits, work on or with things you love, etc.). Yes, it's neat when you try new shops for sure and if we get both then super yay!

    • @DPintheHoosier
      @DPintheHoosier 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I stopped purchasing diamond dotz. The last couple I did the glue was so slick that when I placed down the drills, they would constantly slide out of place and I would constantly have to readjust them and it was just a pain in the behind.

    happy Birthday! using a dryer sheet as a funnel/tray when kitting up is a game changer. Stick with Gain brand...they are thick and have these perfect creases in them that make funneling the drills easier.

    @conniehull6191 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    that is the way I do all of my drills when kitting up. But it is easier for me to pour all of my drills on the dryer sheet and then pour them onto the tray and then into the container. I cut the top of the bag off to pour them onto the dryer sheet. That is just what works good for me.

    🌲 I have no issues with Christmas stuff this early. In fact, I started decorating on the 3rd. I already have my tree up and the stockings on the mantle. No lights or ornaments yet, but they’ll be going up over the next week or so. I like to take my time decorating and also have time to enjoy it. So once Halloween is over, Christmas goes up…and sometimes doesn’t come down until Valentine’s Day. If you’ve ever heard the song “Crazy for Christmas” by Lindsey Stirling, that’s kind of my vibe.
