Hi LeeAnn. Thanks for keeping me company while I’m trying to be cool (it’s hot in Oregon) and diamond painting. I’m doing a snackie DAC from Amazon that’s an abstract round - it’s mountains and ocean and sunset or something like that. Anyway I’m not tired (it’s 11:00 pm now) so I’m staying up longer. It’s just me living alone and today was my Friday so I can sleep in. I did Lisette’s survey - it will be interesting to see the data. I like both half hour and hour long Wip and Chats. I diamond paint for as long as I can without getting sore - which can be quite some time sometimes. Okay. See you soon in a live ! Have a good weekend and see you soon. ❤
It’s hot in Oregon too?? I guess it’s hot all over. 🥵 I know which kit you’re talking about! I almost bought that one this week but I have so many as it is. But those snack sized kits from DAC on Amazon are amazing. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
I would watch your live! Were you lurking on Leopard and Leatherworks last night? If so, you saw that I bought a lot of pens!!😬 I love their wild Wednesdays!
I love Mindy’s event. I always participate in both. I shoot for 16 for the month because it makes for a nice picture for my instagram lol! I am a fire dragon and a Leo. I find I can identify with both. Pretty accurate descriptions of my character. Lives are ok. Not my favorite to participate in. I’m a lurker too. I tend to watch the replays in double speed. I consume most of my youtube in double speed. I have two setups in my living room. One has the iPad the other has my laptop attached to a very large extra wide curved screen on a stand. My kids call it Karen like the one in SpongeBob. They can laugh but I love working at that station. No squinting required. I have a Bluetooth keyboard for when I want to comment. I agree about the facebook groups. I’m the least active in Facebook. I use it to peruse groups and have my personal feed set to unfollow everyone. That way I dont have to get aggravated by people and just see my groups postings. I only go on there every other day or so. Instagram is where I post regularly my stats/ progress/ row finishes. Keep shifting your sleep cycle and you will become nocturnal and the dogs right along with you. LOL. I went thru a period of staying up way too late and regretted it. It took a solid month for me to get back to going to bed before midnight. I love dreamer designs. They are no worse than DAC was back in 2021. They have improved their gaping but it isn’t as tight at other shops. I dont really mind gaping. Once you step away it looks fine. I just trained myself not to push them up against each other too much. It’s nice not to have to tire your hands by pushing and shoving diamonds together on a too tight grid. This has happened with DAC recently. Hurts my carpel tunnel.
Wow we are so similar with blood work. I have to tell them before they start. Use the vein in my hand and use the tiniest needle you have. It’s the only way for me. 🍄
I’m a water rabbit! I just knew last year (year of the rabbit) was gonna be my year. It wasn’t. 🤣 I’m going to try your trick of not following people. Other than my family and just a couple of close friends everyone else are people I haven’t seen since high school 43 years ago! I really like FB for the groups I’m in. Thank you so much for all the good feedback! It means a lot to me!! 🥰
Hey sweetie 🥰 Thank you for keeping me company while working on my "A Question Of Reality". Hopefully the thunderstorm won't be too bad. Sorry I have been M.I.A It has just been one of those weeks, which is also why I haven't filmed anything, the energy simply haven't been there. I have spend some time gardening removing weed in our blueberry patch (still not done) and just staring into the void, haven't even been diamond painting much. But I will be live Sunday and hopefully my funk is over by Monday 🙂 I hate when my doctor wants bloodwork done. 1: I used to be terrified of needles (as in being almost hysteric and crying), I can tolerate it now. 2: My veins play hide & seek, so they get one chance to get it right, I really don't like getting my blood drawn and I will not have them poking around trying to find a vein that has hidden itself deep down in my arm. Also, they can only use my right arm, for some reason my left arm is impossible to draw blood from, oh and they can't tell me when they are putting in the needle they are just to do it when they are ready. Have a great day ❤❤❤
@@MiasLifeWithKFS well I hope you have turned the corner. I get like that too sometimes and just go silent. I can’t wait to see where you are on A Question of Reality. I couldn’t remember the name of that kit! 😂
Hi new friend, I follow Lisette and have taken her poll. I’ve been diamond painting since 2020, I only do squares like Mia, and I only have 1 in my stash, I like flowers and landscape’s, mystery paintings, animals, anything with lots of color and I hate color blocking and I love huge painting’s . I have become friends with Tammy, she’s such a sweetheart! I’d hang out with you in your live if you ever decide to do one! You can let the chat flow organically or you could write down a few topics you could choose from. Don’t pressure yourself, if you feel comfortable about it in the future then you can do it, if not no problem. Lots of people with channels don’t go live. I love when people do tag questions, they’re fun. Sorry to jump from topic to topic but I was trying to comment on the things you were talking about. Thanks for doing another great video, I really enjoy yours! 💗
@@dawnmccrearycreates thanks for the encouraging words. I think I’ll wait just a bit on going live. I’m still learning and I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew. And, yes! I love tag questions too! Thanks so much for watching and being here. 🥰
Really enjoyed your video I do love the square's then rounds but if I like the picture I really don't care and with dreamer designs people have said there new ones are improving all the time like you I like abit of confetti and colour blocking thanks for sharing 🍄🟫
Hello. I would love you to go Live. It’s nice to see a face to the voice. Christmas is very hard for me so I don’t decorate. Give presents and call it a day. I also don’t do Christmas diamond painting. Look for more winter ones
@@tammyhyler3001 oh Tammy I’m so sorry. I know it can be hard for a lot of people. I think I got my love for all things Christmassy from my grandfather.
It makes me nervous when people say they hide their stash, or that they are in debt because of their hobbies. So many people don't save anything, or enough, for retirement and our society shoves the You only live once mentality down our throats. I need to be able to afford food when I'm 80 😂 i don't watch shorts, they are annoying, to me at least. I prefer longer videos. I did 1 squares DD 1 1/2 years ago. Very gappy and lots of trash. The round i did was nice.
I feel the same way. I actually knew someone who was addicted to shopping. Her house was FULL of stuff that hadn’t even been opened. She watched a lot of HSN and QVC and would buy basically everything she saw. Sometimes multiples. It’s an illness for some I think. I think I’ll probably just go ahead and donate these DD that I have in my stash. Thanks for your support Kristyn! It means a lot! 🥰
Every time I start a new canvas and it's the opposite type of drill I just worked, I'm like, "Oh, I love rounds!" Then I'll do a square and say the same thing! Lol I finished a square from dreamer designs this year. The drills are not as tight on the canvas as DACs, but I don't really mind. You can't tell far away. I know that bothers people to have gaps, so I wanted to mention it. I've heard as well that the newer canvases are better. I've got a couple of the newer ones, but I've not done them yet. If I do, I'll keep you posted!🍄🟫🍄

@@DiamondsandDoxiesoops I’ve already finished that one. I’m working on the one called Blue Mountain Lake. Snack sized.
Mushroom 🍄🍄
I can't resist Christmas things either!❤ I bought the new DAC stockings for my dogs! I'm going to put their names on top :)
That’s a great idea!

I was not!!! I got busy with something else and totally forgot!! Until just now when you mentioned it!! Ugh! Can’t wait to see what ya got!
