    Love that you are openly talk about depression. I will be on my meds for the rest of my life and I am open about my travels with this condition. For the folks who struggle…please seek help and know there is light at the end of the tunnel. It may take a bit to find the right meds, but there is something out there for you!

    I had ordered a set of metal tips with a pen. They also included some clear little o rings. So if the tip doesn't fit secure enough, you put that in and it creates a slugger fit. Or like they do with plumbing fixtures, some thin white tape wrapped, makes the threads tighter fit.

    if you are ok with the weathering option you mentioned the best bet would be to sand it. Probably just a nail file level grit would work. You can also replace the gold that rubbed off with one of those fine tip metallic pens. You could also use a leather grade color varnish on it to darken it and help hide the ink. The other option is to buy another book and transfer the pages you've worked over. just cut them out and use double sided tape to adhere them to the new page. I wish you all the best on whatever you decide to do.

    OMG! that temperature would be awful. I use to live in Florida and thought it was hot down there and people asked me how I dealt with the heat - air conditioning and the pool. Hopefully you aren't around the fires. I have an Aimee Stewart Diamond Painting - A Stitch in Time, I really like her work. Can't wait to see your finished product. I am a procrastinator also, I try on a daily basis not to be. Bad habit I picked up in my early years when I was married, he was a really bad influence. thanks for sharing. Starbucks is so expensive, plus there is soooo much more sugar in their drinks than like say Dunkin donuts. I use to get a starsbuk often when I worked at a grocery store after retiring. Had to stop that for both reasons, too expensive and too much sugar. I
    ve played World of Warcraft for many years, that was my work release when I was working 7p-7a. Games are great things.

    I laughed when you said Andromeda was the worst cause I actually enjoyed it. 😂 but it was nothing like the original- and I love the fact that the remastered versions have a story mode so you can go through quicker if you’re bad at shooters, like me. And GamerGate brings me so back omg. I have friends in the gaming industry that were affected by that and I still hold grudges against people. 😅 I’ll try to look for the video essay- thanks! I’ve been binging shanspeare for video essays cause I like her style. 🏴‍☠️

    Let me just say I’m a cereal lurker been around off and on for a year or so but when I heard dragon age and mass effect I was like I’m gonna have to comment now lol
    I’ve played through both ME and DA multiple times minus andromeda and inquisition. It honestly took me til last year I think to finally play through and finish it and I had preordered it so yeah I think it’s safe to say I wasn’t that into it to begin with so I totally get that.
    Also none of my friends who diamond are gamers so it’s nice to hear that there are others like me out there!

    Hi Kaie! Since you like audio books and gaming... you might check out a book series called He who Fights with Monsters by Shirtaloon. To be honest, the 1st books is a little slow to start, but then the books are hard to stop listening to (I just finished book 11!!). The series combines the best of both fantasy books and RPG gaming.

    The fact that the phone representative said everything is fine felt like a red flag to me 🚩 . My day job is doing work from home customer service. If you wind up calling in and getting the same person ask to speak to their supervisor to make sure that bill aint going to collections because that legit is a headache and a half to remove from credit reports. Sometimes as call reps we have to tell people " i'm fine, we're fine, everything is fine" meanwhile everything around us is on fire 😂 . I wish it wouldn't be , but when you gotta pay bills you do what you gotta do in order to make money

    Hi Katie, I normally dont comment on videos, but I really need to say this.. I find you awsome. I did started a few years ago with diamond painting. Due various reasons I didnt diamond paint at all for the last 2 years. Im going to some personal changes and I started to diamond paint again. I came across your channel.. And, well lets say I already seen a few of them. I did join in to Drills and chills, and I wanted to do a piece to for Drills and Chills. I know you made a list of shops where you find licenced artwork. To be honest.. I didnt do licenced artwork, I really wasnt aware of it. But now I know, I really only want to buy licenced artwork. I take a look to some websites, but Im a bit.. it costest a lot.. Do you have any sugestions? I like to do a big artwork, 80cm or more, and I like square drills. I also want to know more about your crossstich conversion and how it works. To finish, I would like to say.. I hope you feel better soon. Excuse me if I made a lot of mistakes in English, but I am from Belgium. I really tried 😅
