I actually ordered The Dragon Cafe. I hadn't realized it wasn't hand rendered, but I'm so excited to see it when it arrives. It's not what I'm usually drawn to, but I love the image!
@christinemcclellan9535 I adorrrre the image!! I gasped and got so excited when I saw it. I was going to buy it either way but Jade had a post in her group for people to vote for the pixel/hand charted and it had the most votes when I look so I'm hoping it comes soon! If not, it will be mine this year either way😂😂
The Dragon Cafe is such a cool piece! 🐉 I love the vibe of that image - it’s so unique. I totally get what you mean about it not being hand-rendered, but I think it will still look amazing when it's done.
Thank you so much! 🥰 It’s been such a fun year of diamond painting, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Here’s to even more beautiful finishes in 2025!
@tanniscollins-id8li we do have some similar taste but we do have more different tastes so there is always some variety with us! I really like my portfolio it just doesn't work for the larger ones so we are playing around with a different portfolio and other options to hopefully find something we like more!
Thank you so much! 😊 We definitely try to keep a good variety going between the two of us - it keeps things fun and interesting! And yes, finding a good storage system for finished canvases is such a challenge. I love that my husband can make the frames. That helps so much with the cost.
Thank you so much! 😊 Yes, my husband makes the frames for us! He’s gotten really good at it, and it definitely saves us a lot of money. It’s been a fun little project for him to help out with - I feel so lucky to have him!
I loved seeing all your completed diamond paintings and wips.Dragon Seasons looks stunning with the enhancements.I think the pumpkin is so pretty,it will be worth it when it's done 😊
@@Emmacaseylovescrafts it has been so much fun to do and enhance! I need to do winter so I can get it hung up in my office🥰 you made a fun and wonderful piece!
@nataliyavolkodav320 if you break it into the 4 seasons and just do 1 at a time, it's very manageable! I would've felt overwhelmed trying to do it all at once lol
@@nataliyavolkodav320 I definitely get that! I'm happy with a different dragon each time with a Hannah thrown in here and there😂 trying to expand my choices some this year
@singleandplacing we both love watching your videos! I'm sure we will both be there! I found a masters piece with a dragon (my absolute love, I'm sure you figured it out) from Diamond Artisan shop called Innocence! I think Robin will do some work on Five Senses. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! 🥹 I’m a huge fan of your channel - you were one of the first diamond painters I ever watched, and I still look forward to all your videos. It means so much to see your comment here! 🥰 We are definitely excited for Summer With The Masters 2025.
I got that Make Market dog painting as a Christmas gift because it looks so much like my Lola! When I finish my event kit for Whinsy I’m going to do that one in between events! ❤
Good job with your finishes for the year, especially with how much other stuff you have going on (work, studying, life!) I only work 40 hours a week (usually!) & that’s more than enough! 😂 Thanks for sharing ❤ x
Thank you so much! ❤ It definitely feels like a juggling act sometimes between work, studying, and life, but diamond painting has been such a great way to unwind. Honestly, 40 hours a week is more than enough too - we all need time to relax and enjoy the sparkles! ✨ So glad you enjoyed the video!
Oh my gosh, yes! 🐉 The Dragon Babies would be perfect in a daycare or child care center - so fun and colorful! I can just imagine how much the kids would love them. Such a great idea!
My first mystery kit ever just shipped- the Becca Tindol one! I went to the DAC mystery group though and am 99% certain I now know what it’s going to be! 🤦🏼♀️
Yay! 🎉 How exciting to get your first mystery kit! The Becca Tindol designs are so beautiful - I bet it’s going to be amazing. I totally get it about the spoilers in the DAC mystery group! 🤦🏼♀ I try to avoid them, but curiosity always wins. Can’t wait to see your progress on it once it arrives!
So I only watched yours and Lisette's year in review video to be honest. Because all of those people with 40-50 finishes just make me want to curl up and cry 😂 with my 5 and a half finished paintings for the year. I know it's not a race and I truly enjoy every drill placed... it's just I don't physically have time for myself and my hobbies and get very upset by it 😢 I will post to your group my way of displaying my finished paintings, though. I think it might work for some people 😉
@nataliyavolkodav320 we feel the same way!! We see some of these months in reviews where people are finishing like 5-6 or more when I am lucky to finish 1, maybe 2 if they are smaller. We say we want to quit our day job and just diamond, we would be so happy! The enjoyment is all we do it for, not the number you finish! 😍 I'll watch for your post in our group as we are looking for some good realistic options to display finishes
@SparklingDiamonds2024 between diamond painting, reading, gardening, painting, and cooking...my hands will be full even without full time job, two kids and all of that jazz. My husband has a joke that I will find something to keep myself crazy busy even in grave 🤪
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰 Honestly, it's not about the number of finishes - it’s about enjoying the process and every drill placed, just like you said. Life is busy, and finding time for ourselves is hard, so don't be too hard on yourself. ❤ I’d love to see your way of displaying your finished paintings! Please share it in the group - I’m always looking for new ideas!
@@nataliyavolkodav320 t sounds like you have so many amazing hobbies - definitely enough to keep you busy for a lifetime (and beyond, apparently! 😂). Your husband’s joke is hilarious, and I can totally relate - I think some of us are just wired that way.
@diamondpaintingwithamy9254 thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Here is the link for the portfolio I'm currently using www.amazon.com/dp/B0BC8M4TCD/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_S3B4BDZQJXCJ7QN2DYX4?linkCode=ml2&tag=sparklingdi04-20
Thank you so much! 🥰 I'm so glad you enjoyed it - that really means a lot to us! We’ve had so much fun reflecting on our year, and it’s even more fun sharing it with you all. ❤
@amygray5150 Here is the link for the ones in that video amzn.to/40q2U6Q - they hold pretty well but the bigger ones it won't hold all the time once they are halfway done and heavy. They are currently unavailable 😔 We ordered a larger one with different clips to try out soon and if those work better than these, I'll share those in a short once they get here and are tested!
That’s so frustrating when the clamps don’t hold properly. 😔 We actually just purchased a new type of hanger that we think we’re going to love even more! Once we’re sure they can handle the weight of heavier diamond paintings, we’ll definitely share the link. Stay tuned! ❤
@amygray5150 the one I currently have is the A1 Artdot from Amazon. Only thing is it doesn't hold larger diamond painting (I have 2 that won't fit). We have ordered a different style that is larger and once we've checked it out, I can share it. Here is the one I currently use amzn.to/4fKVC1G
@amygray5150 we've been using hangers in our closet but they aren't doing the best holding larger completed kits because they are so heavy and they slip off the hanger so we have to figure out a better way for the big heavy ones
There’s no way I could hang all of mine either! I actually ordered the portfolio after this recording, and I’ve got a second one on the way to try out as well. I’ll let you know how it works out once I’ve had a chance to test both!
@@amygray5150 Oh, you’ll have to let me know how the clothes rack works for you! 😊 I saw it on Ditzy’s channel too and thought it was such a clever idea. I’m really curious to see how it holds up with those giant canvases!

Good variety of canvases between the 2 of you. Definitely need a good storage system for complete canvases and a frames that don't break the bank.

Great year in review. Did you do the framing yourself? Looks really good girls
@Wendy520May my dad actually makes the frames himself from wood he gets from my grandparents in the mountains. He does a wonderful job!
Thank you so much! 😊 Yes, my husband makes the frames for us! He’s gotten really good at it, and it definitely saves us a lot of money. It’s been a fun little project for him to help out with - I feel so lucky to have him!

The Make Market dog painting is adorable! I can't wait to see how it turns out. It sounds like the perfect in-between project after your event kit.
Dragon Seasons is absolutely gorgeous? Love the enhancements
@@TheDiamondTechCourtney thank you! I'm so finished to do it and get a post review of that one and get it hung on my wall!

Can you attach links for hangers..I couldn’t click on the one you had in a reel.. I bought some and the clamps don’t even hold a small painting :/
