I got a kit from her a few weeks ago as a birthday gift to myself. Absolutely love the image! As far as extras or combined orders (kits & wax), it does state on her Etsy store that that kits and wax can't be combined due to logistics so I'm guessing stuff is from 2 separate warehouses.
Thank you for sharing Mindy!! I appreciate your honesty about the price and the things lacking. If I was ordering from this company for the first time expecting something that I have seen others get, I would be disappointed as well if I didn't receive it. Bottom line is you are allowed to have an opinion on a company that others may not agree with. If they don't like it they shouldn't watch. (Rant over)... I appreciate your review of this company. Thank you for your hard work on these videos and the content you get out. I know the effort it takes to get a video out. Keep up the great work. 🥰🥰🤗🤗💜💜💜
I’ve only gotten one of DBD canvases (Self Potrait). I just loved the DP. Plenty of drills, good sticking (no popping), great colors and all in all my favorite canvas to do. Your canvas is sweet! Puffy ‘s Art is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
It was so fun to see this in person! 😀 Thanks for sharing it! I’m not in on all the logistics, but I believe when she moved to boxes, the canvases are now packed and sealed at the factory so it isn’t possible to add the goodies anymore. 😀
Thanks for the unboxing, definitely a splurge to by from this company. I too was disappointed when I didn't get the extras, makes the high price more bearable that's for sure. Enjoy drilling this one she is cute.
Oh..... you did it! You got a Distracted by Diamonds painting. In fact, you got one of the most popular ones (or at least it seems that way). D by D paintings go so fast. It took me more than a few tries before I could get the one I was after. I imagine she has knowledge of how many paintings ( of a design) are being created in her next order batch. Than she probably takes whatever that total inventory amount is, and has to stagger it over the days she opens up for new orders. This Puffy Gator piece is so cute. I love the "big cat acting like domestic cat in playing with something". Butterflies let this add color to the mix and I can see how well these might be charted. Thanks for showing detail on the color blocks. I feel like I can see the gradients just looking at the contrasting colors used for the pattern color blocking. Puffy Gator is an artist I definitely love to support and I feel good seeing how your kit turned out. PS: You asked about the inclusion of Paddywaxx or some of the stickers in her shop. One thing I know her FAQ/Etsy Information page mentioned was how shipments are separate between the orders she does for these kits, and the orders she processes for her non-diamond painting store items. So, if someone was to order both a painting kit and say.... Paddywax, than they would likely get two separate shipments for the order that they have made. Hope that makes some sense.
One thing to try and keep in mind with these kits regarding the cost, is that Etsy charges quite a large percentage (in my opinion) of the sale, plus there are several other fees they charge (listing fees, transaction fees, and the platform forces you into advertising once you cross a certain threshold which you are then charged even more if a sale is made through an ad), and factoring in the manufacturing cost and the licensing and packaging, it really does all add up and the company has to make a profit. I do not know what their profit margin is, but I do know that these things have an impact on it all. Shipping can't be done cheaper for the smaller companies as Craftibly touches on in the interview with them. All of this is very unfortunate for small businesses and their customers or those of us that want to be customers but can't, however that is the nature of buying and selling on Etsy.
@@mindysdiamondmoment 100% agree! I hope that I didn't come across rude, didn't mean to. I just know that I was clueless about all of the fees and stuff until we started a shop, so I'm figuring lots of others are too. It's a tough pill to swallow, however this canvas sure is cutie patootie! I hope you enjoy it enough to make up for the price tag and wax 🥰❤
I agree with you Mindy, the image is cute...I love the bluebird the best but it would cost me close to one hundred dollars in Canadian dollars, plus shipping, taxes and duty fees. I love your honest reviews!
You sounded a little disappointed, but I think that is a super cute image, love the colors of course. Yes, a little pricey, without any type of discount. I don’t use stickers and I don’t use anything but pink wax, so those things wouldn’t bother me at all.
Good Morning Mindy... That's a cute image...I have not purchased from them either. Similar reasons....There have been a couple when they first started selling that I really liked but never got. I go look once in a while but nothing lately. Enjoy your day!!
I agree. Quite pricey and the race to get what you want is frustrating... especially as shipping stacks up when you can't get everything you want in one shot. I love her artists - I have this one and the deer from puffygator - and have a few more I want... but don't know if I can justify it when there are so many other good competitors who customize service and have better extras like special drills and nice tool kits... the lure of paddywax samples was an incentive we don't get anymore. Overall DbD is too overhyped and overpriced for me.
I just can't justify her prices. I really don't get, but those that buy them have their reasons. I think there are just too many other ones out there to choose from without going broke.The image is darling and you will love it when done. Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m playing catch up on videos! This one is so cute! I get why you’d be disappointed- especially when you pay big prices like that. I’m glad I watched this before unboxing the kit I recently purchased! You saved me the disappointment- AND it appears some hate 🤔
I was expecting some extras as well as I had seen them in a number of unboxings on RUclips and was disappointed when my two purchases had none. Especially since they are so pricey.
Robyn is awesome! I think she’s not putting those extras in anymore, because they’re coming straight from the factory and she doesn’t want to open the boxes. These paintings are gorgeous though, so doesn’t bother me.
The reason you didn’t get the extras is because her boxes are now sealed in plastic when she receives them and doesn’t want to break the seal. I’ve purchased paintings that had the extras but then they changed to being sealed. Robyn has included a note on Etsy letting us know that is the reason for not sending the extra little goodies.
@@mindysdiamondmoment , I just checked and that notation is no longer on her site, but it was mentioned at one point not long ago. Maybe it’s possible to tape a small baggy with her little extras to the box before placing in the outer bag, but I guess that would be up to her. If you purchase her PaddyWaxx, you’ll receive those extra touches.
She used to add those in her kits but after her restock a few weeks ago she hasn’t been including it. Not sure the reason though. The name is Blossoming Buddies
Another great unboxing! I almost got this one 😂. This is the only artist I purchase from her, same reason they are a bit pricey. I have finished Subtropical Splendor and it is precious. I also have 3 others in my stash, all Puffygator.
OMG! Are you really going to complain about not getting stickers, etc.?? You get so much free product, I’m surprised something this petty would bother you. I love your channel, I’m just surprised.
In my mind the extras like paddywaxx and other goodies were part of the price I was paying. I was surprised they were there. I will always share my honest feelings about everything.
Hey Mindy! I Enjoy your unboxings/unbaggings and I have purchased some images based off your reviews. I do think you should show a little diversity in your choices though. Still love your channel regardless, to each his/her own. 🤗🥰! Much love.
I'm with you "a little pricey" and a little disappointed that all the personality is missing. I think she would want to stand out from Ali Express. I enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing them.
Her kits used to come with stickers, little paddy wax and a measuring tape. But I've not seen those in recent unboxings. 😕 Too pricey for me, but very cute!
@@mindysdiamondmoment I missing the human tuch , in yours and where I pucage from. I dont expect much ...but a card would be nice, not just a clam on mine. Have to look on other video ,how to do. But Mindy I love your video s. Stay safe and take care
I too am disappointed by Robyn, aka Paddy waxx. I still think for the price extras should somehow be sent to the customer. Customer service is so important. Cute painting. Not worth to me. Sorry
I can not believe you are complaining about not getting free stuff, that is so petty and your hole attitude towards this painting changed. You get so much free stuff that it is ridiculous for your attitude towards this seller and your going to contact Robyn because of stickers. .
In my opinion. The price of Robyn's kits used to include paddywaxx, stickers and other goodies. It was built into the price we pay. I was disappointed that those things were no longer included. My message was to ask her if that had changed....for clarification. Was unaware. It would be like ordering a kit from Bella Sephina and not getting her customized tool kit. I'm not certain what it has to do with the promotional items I receive.
@Meli No I didn't look into it to much, She was acting like a child. It clearly states on Robyn's post that she no longer was putting things in her diamond paintings. I have ordered many from her and so many other companies and never assumed that I would get anything other than what I order. If you think her prices are to much don't buy and don't assume
I got a kit from her a few weeks ago as a birthday gift to myself. Absolutely love the image! As far as extras or combined orders (kits & wax), it does state on her Etsy store that that kits and wax can't be combined due to logistics so I'm guessing stuff is from 2 separate warehouses.

That's unfortunate. How about in the mailing bag? It was a nice touch and helped ease the cost a bit. Cute image for sure.
@@mindysdiamondmoment It really is! I hadn’t seen this canvas yet. The colors look amazing!
She does have that info on her Etsy store now about no extras. I don't remember the exact wording or reasons why though.

Such a cute image...love all the colors!! Can't wait to see it finished
That is one that I keep hoping will come back out because she is super cute!

The goodies made the cost sting less...🤷♀️

Frustrating she only carries a small quantity of DP’s . Don’t want to have to keep stalking her Esty shop to get one. Lol

Yes that was my point exactly

Understood
Cute image.
Thank you for sharing! I believe Robyn states in her Etsy shop that she no longer provides Paddywax samples with her kits. Not sure why though 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for your honest feedback Mindy. I appreciate your videos and trust your opinion. 😊
Thank you....so much

I was looking forward to the goodies....obviously. lol
@@mindysdiamondmoment yeah it was pretty cool when she added those. Wish she still did.
I believe the wax and stickers no longer are included since the paintings are now shrink wrapped.
But she could still put them in the outer bag..right
@@mindysdiamondmoment I would think so, unless it's a matter of it getting squished 🤷♀️❤

I have never heard of seen you so unenthusiastic about a painting before, makes me go hmmm lol. 🎄💎💗
Well....🤷♀️
I don’t blame you for being disappointed with this one. I’d be very upset for that price.😢
Probably a one time splurge

Yep

Distracted by Diamonds
So cute!
