A lot of food companies have done that. Dryers/Brewers ice. Ream, same price, less quantity. Butter in California is still expensive. Eggs have been a little less. Hopefully come spring you'll find a permanent place. As always, thanks for sharing your WIP.
Hi Daphne, I'm in the Netherlands and cold rain and wind is a common factor in this part of Europe. Amazingly this last week we even had snow, but too much rain for it to settle. Glad to hear things are slowly getting settled over there.
Thanks for letting us know about how you can find out how donated money is dispersed. That is incredibly helpful in making decisions. I’ve usually donated to cancer and multiple sclerosis since I have personal experience from family members suffering from those.
I appreciate knowing that most of the $ I donate is actually going to someone in need, not just someone’s salary. The website even shows the top people/salaries at the charity - it’s pretty crazy what some people make working for a charity. Thanks for watching!!
Check out flannel lined jeans and cuddle duds as an under layer. Those Northerly’s that are coming are no joke. Yes. Walking will help your mood but protect your faces too😊 than you for the chat . Hang in there. It’s hard to move at any age and it gets harder as we age
@@marladillard8721 I’ve been looking at the flannel jeans. My son told me I need a balaclava for my face. 😂 I just use an old covid mask and a big scarf to cover my face. Thanks for watching!!
I feel like you do; I have so many in my stash ~ I’m excited to see what DAC and others have for BF & CM but I am going to pretty picky. I’m only going to get must have, if any. I put myself in a low buy. I really want to finish the paintings I have. It’s been 2 months since I purchased a diamond painting ~ nothing has appealed to me lately.
Hello & congrats on making it Canada. 🤩 I just made it thru a move myself & you will settle in soon too❤ Black Friday doesn’t seem as it use to be to me either. Almost too much with pre Black Friday then cyber Monday and always sales but where’s the super great deals? 😮DAC stated they will have 100 new arrivals, I’m hoping for some variety so everyone can find something they love. Catered has a spend $150 & get $50 off so I got 2 pens & all four national parks mini’s 😊 Take care and Happy Thanksgiving to you and the fam, we got this!
It’s raining here in Ontario as well no snow yet thank goodness. The reason why we have black Friday sales in Canada is because Canadian. We’re going to the US to go shopping, so Canada figured if we have black Friday sales here we keep Canadian shopping in Canada.
Hi Daphne! You are almost done with the gnomes...I love Makiko!! I finished my Vets dp today & will send in pic with my google exit form shortly 😅 That is soooo funny about the lobsters 🦞 coming up onto the beach there?! lol...I wish that'd happen here! I can only imagine how it feels to be in totally new place, but as you say it is temporary...once you can be outside more & start thinking about & looking for your perfect new home it won't be so boring. Also, pls remember we live about 1 hr 40 mins from Bangor if we can help with getting US dp's to you in any way...And we have a PO Box address in Auburn...I'd love an excuse for a little road trip on a weekend. 😂😂😂 Hope you have a great & busy week. Stay warm! P.S. You have over 300 of us subscribed & excited to checkout new channel ❤🎉
There were a ton of people out wandering with buckets again today - though I think most of them were looking for clams. Road trips are awesome! Thanks for watching!!
We have black friday sales here in the UK but dont have thanksgiving. Actually our black friday sales here have been pretty much running at some stores all of November. We had snow here thia past week. The worst of it was yesterday (Saturday) but it warmed up so much in the evening and over night that it was all gone this morning. Stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving go you and your family ❤
Hi Daphne from the UK. I have a stash of budget canvases. I have a few primiam ones. But I only have what I really cannot go with out. Iv got two big sections to finish on my first DAC .loving the experience . Wish I'd gone to Dac sooner. Takecare 😊😊
It's so neat to read about someone new begin to experience high quality diamond painting. I started with DAC because it was a Christmas gift. I thought all dp's were alike so I ordered a bunch of cheap kits and really struggled until someone like Daphne helped me navigate the territory.🥰
@@Jo-anneArnold-m8h Budget kits certainly have their place, but the premium kits are usually a better experience, especially when it comes to drill quality. Though I’ve gotten a few duds from the premium companies as well. Thanks for watching!!
Ha, I'm in Florida and it's 48° and I'm freaking freezing! I was at my grandkids soccer game on Thursday and I'm getting crankier by the second thinking are you kidding me!?? 😂😂
There seems to be nothing terribly exciting on the DP websites these days. My stash is not terribly large, but big enough to keep me going for 2025. My one grandson is a fantastic artist who just graduated cum laude from Philadelphia College of the Arts. I have had three of his works made into customs and I just love them. I'm thinking I'll have a few more made this year. I also advised him to contact all the DP companies to see if he could get a contract with one. Fingers crossed.
wire transfers are a pain to do i hate doing them is paypal not easier for like internationally over here in uk they say it going to snow in our area but it hasent just icy cold
@@diamondpaintingwithmike Today it is not raining, thank goodness! So hubby and I are hurrying to get some outside tasks done before it starts up again. 😂 Thanks for watching!!

Hello Daphne, last week Monday it rained all day. I don't do Black Friday. Sending hugs and prayers from Kansas. 🌻 💎 Have a good week.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous , you too. BTW are you on the East or West Coast of Canada. Only been there once but I love a beach anytime 😊
@ East Coast - in the Maritimes!
Tax Installments are due in Canada if you will own $3000 or more of tax when filing your tax return in April (less if you live in Quebec)

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous lol
lol. Trust me, Revenue Canada is not laid back! They can strike fear in a business owner just as fast as the IRS.
Well, hopefully they will at least be helpful! 😂
