the ones I'm most excited to see is the crystal tree, crystals always look so pretty. I haven't done a full crystal yet. And i can't wait to see how that mermaid comes together with the left over drills. I've been saving my left over drills all year to use on a spare DIYmoon canvas, I may have to collect my left over drills for a looong time 😄
Love the mermaid!! You've got a bit of difficult ones left. Can't believe it's been two years!! But it has!! Not sure which you'll finish with.... proud of your dedication! And happy you shared all your progress!!
So proud of you getting this far. You have been my inspiration to do the same. I'm allowing myself one black friday kit, otherwise working through the 40 I have left. I love Lumina. Almost bought it. Can't wait to see you work on that one. It would be a great last kit because of the line blocking.
All I can say is AMAZING!! Wow!! You are almost finished. I am trying to work on my stash every month but it feels like I will never finish😳😍. Thank you for sharing my friend!🥰🥰🥰
Again WOW 👍🏻🤩 only these „few“ to do then you will have finished your detox. My favorite from your left over is Oberon and Titania 🤩 I bought this from Diamond Painting Deutschland.. love the image 😍 I think your last finish could be tree of Life, because it Could be a side project to your other ones… and after the last main project you can finish this. 😊
Always nice to hear from you. Hope your business year went well. You’re almost there. I would think you’d do the crown jewel canvas last, but with the completion of all I’m sure your fame will spread as “one of the only persons who completed a total destash” and that’s without selling them off as far as I know. I look forward to that time for you. Have a great week. Peace and love abide with you 💕
You are so close now and what an inspiration! I assumed you would end on the one using the leftover drills so would have as many of the colors you need as possible
way to go! You are still at it. That crystal canvas art one though, very ambitious. I do not like placing crystals. I have 2 small ones in my stash. I know you love a challenge so good luck!
Hi Cheryl - so good to hear from you. I'm actually working on the Crystal one right now and I'm so pleasantly surprised - I'll show you in my next check-in next week. Hugs
That's fantastic! You've been doing so great! I destashed half my stash when I realized it would take me more than 5 years to do all 110 kits. Now down to 60, I may have to let a few more go. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Hi Angie - yes I saw that. You've destashed some beautiful pieces. That must have been so hard to do. I'm still trying to decide what my comfortable stash amount is - I think about one year's worth - so around 25 ??. Will be so happy to be able to buy some new ones. It will be a challenge to keep myself to stay around 25...fortunately each time I finish some - I can add new ones....That keeps it interesting....LOL Big hug for you
This is truly incredible! You have done so well! Thankfully I saw your channel right as I began diamond painting so I never fell into buying a lot. My DAC JoWall diamond painting had a weird smell as well. I just put pieces of fabric softener in when kitting up and it has taken care of it.
Well done, I'm so excited for the next 7 paintings, for the last one, buy the drills that you need on the black friday deals... if that can help as its going towards the final canvas. Air out the smelly drills put some dryer sheets in them, they smell better. ❤❤🎉🎉
Hi Angel, I'm set on finishing that one with my own drills (it's another silly challenge - I know)...I'll definitely put some dryer sheets in with the drills - thanks for the tip.
I binge watched all of your 52 detox Videos now and i will be starting my stash detox in 2024 too. I need to wairt for my last diamond art club order to arrive. And i have a bit work to do before i Start need to break down my stash to 80 kits
Thanks so much. You'll get there. Just decide the size of your ideal stash and try to stay around that amount will help - I hope. That will be my strategy post detox. Not sure yet what my ideal stash amount is. I'm thinking about one year's worth..so for me that would be about 25....
You are an inspiration. I keep telling myself I need to do the same but haven't so far. Maybe in the New Year lol! Perhaps finish with the painting that you seem to like the most, maybe Lumina. Finish with something fun! 😀👍🍂
Wow, some big (and beautiful) kits to finish up! I was a little worried when you said you were going to work from leftover drills for that last one, but it's much more reasonably sized than I expected, and honestly those corals and the background should be pretty forgiving with some substituted colors. Home stretch!!
I’ve never saved my leftover drills. I dump them in a large jar and send them to a thrift store when it’s full. And I’ve only been short on drills once….but that’s because I dropped a bunch. Lol. And the seller sent more for me.
I love all the space you now have in your closet … you are so close to finishing. If you want to end your stash on an enjoyable and speedy note, I think Lumina would be ideal. The fact that she’s already kitted up will make it even faster. I have her in my stash, but I don’t know when I’ll get her done. I know I will enjoy it when I do. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Awesome! And inspiring ! I have been going through mine and am in a no buy - started this month so I’ll be rewatching and start with your initial detoxing two years ago to remain true ! Can’t believe how many I’ve accumulated - and such an investment as I’ve many DAC and some other high qualities. Also while watching this video I went and dug out my Titania & Oberon. Out of concern for smell cuz I hadn’t any issues thus far. So …. Oh my you are right ! Admittedly I thought maybe something got in yours … kittie winkles perhaps but…. mine was quite stark and I’ve unboxed and kitted up a few largeDAC these past two months and not once any offensive odor. I’m not ready at all to do this one however I’ll do something to handle the smell - may be dryer sheets or thinking it may be outer packaging only, drills themselves fine and airing out the packaging may be all that’s needed.. Will need “research”. Maybe DAC knows and can help. Again thank you for your videos and inspiration !!!
Oh that’s so weird - that you have the same issues with this kit. I’m going to try the dryer sheets - multiple people have left comment with the advise to try that - I’ll let you know how it works out. Great kit though…Even with the smelly drills 🥰
It just makes sense to do the mermaid one last. You have really come far for the detox. I'm glad I came across your videos before I went really crazy as a new diamond painter to restrain myself from buying everything. I was in an accident and in a neck brace for 6 months so not able to diamond paint until recently. I have a couple of holy grail paintings for sentimental reasons that I would still purchase but I now take a lot into consideration before buying.
I think ending on your special project mermaid would be really fun! But I actually will change rendering on my canvases. Some big ones were Artemisa(Enys) and Pisces(Roy Trinh) If not that one maybe one of the round drill canvases. In my mind, I would need to finish all the square canvases first before the mermaid to have the best chance of having the most colors available!
This is getting very exciting! Almost there 😊. I think you'll finish with a DAC. Could be the JWall one, but Lumina seems a better candidate: no smelly drills, smaller, fun and line blocking. Ending with a fun DP seems appropriate 🎉🎉. Looking forward to see what you're going to go for 😊.
Hi Lisette, c'est fou! Je me souviens encore de quand cette armoire était totalement pleine! Bravo pour ces deux années incroyables. Je dirais que tu vas garder la HAED pour la fin, histoire d'avoir encore quelques carrés 😅En tout cas j'ai hâte de suivre ton aventure pour ces dernières toiles 🤩
I think you should end on JWall last. It's so beautiful and would be a fitting last hurrah of this DP journey. ❤ Great job and I loved watching this journey with you since the beginning. 😊
Het einde van je detox komt nu echt dichtbij hé. Ik denk dat de J.Wall de laatste gaat zijn. De Willowing arts zijn mijn favorieten en ik meen er nog enkele in de laatste voting van dac te gezien hebben. 🤞🤞🤞 veel succes met het laatste deel van detox ❤
Hey Lisette :) I love your content and I will take your example and work through my stash too after this one Black Friday. I have loads of spare drills. I would love to send over what dmc you need and I happen to have :)
Thanks so much - enjoy Black FRIDAY - lots to chose from 🤪 thanks for your offer to sens spare drills, but I really want to try and finish it with the drills that I already havé. I really appreciate your offer though. So Kind and thoughtful 🥰
Hi Lisette! have recently discovered the crystal drills and love working with them. Your Tree of Life is stunning but I’d like to know if you plan to wrap it on a stretcher frame or attach it to a magnetic scroll? I would love to work with all of those crystal drills!
Hi Leslie - I actually don't hang my diamond paintings. I only framed one of them (a Josephine Wall) on a stretcher frame and even that one is standing in a closet. Sorry I can't be more helpful. If you like crystal drills I recommend checking out Crystal Canvas Art Designs - all legally lisenced full Crystal kits.
Personally I think you'll end on the Josephine Wall canvas, I know you're a big fan of her art and since its now more inaccessible I think you'd like to end on a high note.
Kan niet geloven dat er nog maar 7 paintings over zijn!!! Ik wil je wel helpen met de drills voor je laatste project van de mermaid. Heb ook al mijn dac leftover drills gespaard maar doe er niks mee 😂😂 Ik denk dat je gaat eindigen met Lumina of de mermaid
@@LisetteCraftsandTells I’m so incredibly impressed. Your comment that it got easier to avoid buying with the longer you didn’t buy has inspired me to try it.
Hi Lisette. Wow your cupboard or closet or wardrobe is sooo empty compared to the beginning of this detox journey. You know what that means right?? You’re just gonna have to put some more kits in there so it won’t feel abandoned (the closet/wardrobe). Lol. ❤
OMGGGGG!!! Lisette!!!! You’re almost done!!!! It has truly been phenomenal watching your journey!! You are so inspiring!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks my dear friend and favorite enabler 💋🥰
When you kit up Titania and Oberon, add a couple of the scented fabric softener beads and the smell will be gone by the time you work on it.
Thanks for thé tip Donna - I’ll definitely do that 🥰

@@LisetteCraftsandTells I'm not sure yet, but love Lumina so may just get that one because it's available again.
I would end it with the JWall one, since you love her art so much, that way it will a great end of this journey ❤❤
You know me so Well Mia - hug for you 🥰
All I can say is AMAZING!! Wow!! You are almost finished. I am trying to work on my stash every month but it feels like I will never finish😳😍. Thank you for sharing my friend!🥰🥰🥰

Hi April - good point 🥰
Wonderful video Lisette!! I enjoyed having the extra videos this month. ❤ from 🇨🇦
Hi Susan - thanks so much. That's so nice to hear.
You’ve got some great ones there. The Angels With You is my favorite!

I’m so inspired to get my stash down. I think I have about 65 and once I get some down I won’t allow myself quite a large collection!

I hang mine up too. Helps flatten them.
Yes, it really helps
