@@KET-xc7go awesome! I haven’t decided on what to do for jingle drills yet. I only have two potential pieces right now. Kept hoping to gift one to mom but she thinks it’s too big. Maybe I make it for her? 🤷♀️ but since she diamond paints herself maybe that doesn’t make sense
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones I'm gifting my daughter one for Christmas and she diamond paints as well. In fact she's the one that got me started. So I believe it's all in the thought that counts.
Hey Gretchen! I'm doing Drills and Chills with my daughter. She's doing Graveyard Goodies by Randal Spangler, I'm doing Spirit Land Castle by Moonbound Studio. I love apple cider but its not super popular here in Texas. Great video!
My son was hesitant with walking too. But once he got the hang of it he turned into a danger monster and wanted to climb right away. Going from no job to two im behing on everything too.
@@diamondsandthoughts he’s really taking off now! He’s so proud too. It’s amazing to just see him stand alone so straight and tall and then take several steps 🥰 He’s already trying to climb on stuff or stand in the rocking chair and those types of things and not listening to my directions 🤦♀️ Yes! I bet you are very busy. I didn’t get a video recorded for this next week yet but I’m working on three others so… 🤷♀️ Always good to hear from you
@@margiegreiss5468 hi! Thanks for joining me. Glad to have you. I started paint along earlier this year, but had to put mine off while waiting for better drills and never got back to it. I should try one of those again. Thanks again
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones I do diamond painting with friends...October is hosted by shenanigans with the burgs...theme is sugar skulls/ Halloween...very laid back
@@margiegreiss5468 that does sound like fun. I have to admit: I’m a sucker for prizes, so I do like to do events with prizes. I did win one time, but it’s still fun to just participate. I’m done with my grand entry event for drills and chills so now it’s more of a paint along with the weekly prizes. I did kit up two more fall/halloween paintings for the season.
@@suetapp7122 jingle drills was a lot of fun too. I’m actually not a big Halloween person either but now that I have kids I’m trying to get into it more. I need to start decorating my house. If all else fails: at least I can put up a Halloween diamond painting 🤣
It's kind of funny when you say you don't want to shop on line at Michael's or Hobby Lobby because you would like to see their things in person, yet you order from DAC on line😂
@@suetapp7122 I thought about that too, but DAC doesn’t have an “in person” store and I know their product. What I meant more about Michaels and Hobby Lobby is more of the other stuff you get there. Like the poster boards, yarn, fabric, paint and brush options etc. it’s easier to decide when you can compare products and prices right next to each other. I’m not saying I wouldn’t buy diamond paintings from them online, but I’m less likely to go to their website because they’re stores one of very few stores I actually want to be in when making purchases
I really enjoyed your questions and answers! Always fun to hear your answers and then to think about how I would answer too! Thank you Gretchen! 🥳🎃❤️
@@twingirl56 thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it
Yes I entered a Pumpkin Patch Gnome for the Drills & Chills event and I'm entering a Nutcracker for the Jingle Drills event

@@KET-xc7go good point. Thanks
Great video as always. I don't officially do events, but I sometimes do them on my own.
@@kathymcmanus1425 thanks so much! It’s fun to just do your own thing too. Less stress

@@susancolquitt4570 thanks for sharing! I had to look up both those pieces. I absolutely love the castle one you’re doing! It looks so cool and fun!

@@Rubies_And_Moonstones no prizes for the ones I do.... just fun
@@margiegreiss5468 fun is good
Not participating in Drills & Chills, still working on my Summer of the Masters kit, lol
@@Millerthymemama ooh! What are you working on? That sounds like fun
I'm not big on Halloween, so no participation for me. I'm hoping to participate in the Jingle Drills one.
