Hi Katie, I love your voce, your WIP and Chat is good for my soul to listen and be good to your children, 🥛☕
☕ Thank you for another wip and chat, I love listening to what is going on in your life.
Again, thank-you for talking so openly about mental health! I agree that this fallback time change has been difficult, specifically has me exhausted and not feeling like myself. Trying to get back on my “routine” but some days are definitely harder than others.
Also, YAY for Micah! It warms my heart that he did it independently esp with no prompting. What an amazing breakthrough!
I hope you’re having a better week, Katie! Sending all my positive thoughts your way!💛
I am doing just fine this week. I am so thankful you are so honest about everything and you don't feel afraid to address mental health! I loved your story of Micah saying hi ❤ thanks for a very nice time ☕
Hi Katie! Today was a struggle for my mental health because we got our first snow flurry (I am in Ontario, Canada) and unlike you I dislike the long winter months very much. I will take hot and sweaty instead lol Congrats to Mica on his accomplishment. My son who is now 21 has Executive Function Disorder and struggled with social interactions as well. It is a very triumphant and a proud moment when you as a parent get to see those achievements. As far as your reviews on product I feel like you are one of the few that give an honest opinion, good or bad, for all your reviews. I have watched others and I feel like it is predictable how the review will be and many use a thick sugar coat and glaze over the "not good" parts. As another hobby I am teaching myself embroidery. So far so good with the basic stitches on the beginner kit I bought to try it. Have a great week ! ☕
☕
Today is the first day in about six months that I actually felt good! I danced while folding laundry and it feels amazing 🙂
Hi Katie, thanks for asking how I am doing. I’ve had a pretty good week. My mother-in-law came to visit for a few days and we always have a lot of fun together! Not much else to report for this past week. Glad you and your family are doing well. As always, thank you for letting us into your life for a little sneak peek into what’s going on. Hope you have a great week! Take care. 💜 Dawn
☕️🍹 I cried when you asked how my mental health was doing… I have had depression for over 20 years , on my 5th different antidepressant and No-one (family or friend) has ever asked me this question even though they know I suffer from it.
It’s hard to talk about as most “mentally able” people just don’t “get it” and it’s easier when people ask you “how are you” to give them the expected answer of “fine thanks”
Love u and ur WIP N chats, the only one I usually make an effort to listen to.
I’m in New Zealand so looking forward to seeing more sunshine ☀️ and hope it helps improve my mood. 🤗
I hope you have a great week!☕️
Hey Katie 😁 How are you doing today? As always, I so enjoyed your WIP and Chat!! I think Micah's "Hi" to the neighbors first is awesome!! From the way you talked about it, I could tell you were so proud! You seem like a great mom! I remember when my step daughter at the time (she was 7 or 8), got so spoiled by me, my husband and our parents, one year after she had opened a mountain of gifts at my parents house, she sighed and said "Is that all I got??" I was mortified! So, I totally understand about teaching your kids gratitude!! The sooner the better, lol 🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing about you and your mental health, for those who don't go outside our houses much, it makes us feel a little less alone... So I thank you for that!! Have a blessed day, Katie 😊💙💙 xx Cynthia
Hi Katie, happy Monday! The canvas you are working on is beautiful.
Last week was pretty tough as far as mental help, but after therapy and starting meds, I am on the right track.
Thank you for bringing awareness to mental health, and I hope you are doing well. Love and hugs!💜☕💜
I’m doing ok. I’m trying to take it one day at a time. Thanks for sharing your struggles. I know that it helps me as well as others. ☕️☕️☕️
☕️ have a great week Katie! ☕️
Hi Katie!
I hope your week is going good. I'm doing good myself. Weather here in Dallas is perfect at the moment. DPing is my prescription for mental health struggles! My bus route usually allows me DPing time between my AM and PM routes.
I have always tried to be modest and stress the gratitude attitude during the holidays. Things seem to be okay.....until they go back to school and have to hear all their friends go on and on about the plethora of gifts from parents, grandparents, divorced parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles cousins ect. Sigh! It's always a learning lesson.
I am Happy Planner girl! I live in my mini. I don't do ANYTHING, until I consult my Happy Planner! I LOVE the disc system. If I am having a bad day, my husband tries to cheer me up by asking, " Did you forget to plan a HAPPY DAY in your Happy Planner?" I purchased the proprietary hole punch so the I can totally customize my planners, my notebooks, my art journals. My Bible journals ect. It's WONDERFUL! I really love you Disney themed notebook!
Thanks for all you do and have a fabulous week!
☕
Having a bad few days. I find it hard to explain why so I won't bore you.
Christmas I have great memories from Father Christmas would fill us a stocking with colouring books and pens/pencils, annual, puzzles, all sorts of little things and santa left them at the end of our beds. My sister and I (younger by 3 1/2 years) would pull them into our parents room. We would get into bed with them one on each side and go through all that was in there one item at a time lol when we finished we would loud our bags back up and be asked to go and mess in our bedrooms which we did willingly so they could get some extra sleep. We would go back to bed and have our stocking on there and do what ever maybe even have a snooze. When it was time to get up we would have breakfast first then open our one or two gifts of our parents. I loved our Christmas times and I always makes me feel warm inside. We didn't have new bikes till we were teenagers but what ever we received we were so thankful for. Christmas shouldn't have to be expensive because I don't remember alot of what I received just knew I was happy and loved the family time.
Thank you for this WIP and Chat they really do help x I hope you all have a good week x x Happy DP'ing x x
☕ thanks as always for a great wip and chat
Hi Katie! It’s been a really rough week for me too. I am a recovering addict who struggles with mental health issues. I have ptsd, depression, anxiety and I am bipolar. I have recently been diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia as a result of using long term anti psychotics to treat my mental health issues. I just left my psychiatrist this morning and I have therapy later on this afternoon. After watching this video I was wondering if you have ever considered seasonal affective disorder as an issue you could be struggling with. It’s a huge deal for me. “Fall back” always gives me trouble with my anxiety and depression. Thank you for all that you do and thank you for being a safe space for us. 💕☕️
I always feel like you’re authentic. You always point out the good and the bad when showing something. My week hasn’t actually been the best as I had the horrible decision to make Monday of sending my Mistie to kitty heaven. It’s so awesome having pets but it’s so hard to let go. Kinda has my depression/anxiety up a notch. But I diamond painted on Fairytale Dreams by Randal Spangler tonight. That helped a little. Thanks for the awesome video, as usual.
☕☕☕ I really enjoyed this wip & chat- thank you! Must be something in the air- this week has been an extra struggle for me as well. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the trigger that makes my depression & anxiety worse or better, it's very frustrating! I'm sorry this week has also been tough for you and I just wanted to let you know, from an outsider's point of view- that you sound like an amazing mom! 💕
My 14-year-old son didn't start talking until he was 4 years old. He has Aspergers/high functioning Autism, and social skills/empathy are a challenge for him, but seeing his progress feels amazing. ☕
Um I think we need to be friends because my son is also 14 and is also on the part of the spectrum that used to be classified as Asperger’s before the DSM just got rid of that specific diagnosis!
Thank you for asking 🥺The time change is kicking my ass for no discernable reason and way harder than previous years. I have been exhausted, mentally beating myself, and so out of sorts in my own skin. Personally, I have been feeling like an exposed nerve and I have basically shut down. Just blah. According to my doctor it's PCOS and pre menopause 😵🥴 so yeah 🥳 love this for me. I appreciate knowing I'm not alone in this crazy funk I've found myself wallowing in.☕
I'm doing... that's about it. Back to twice a week with my therapist. Halt problems aren't helping. My husband is so patient and kind though. That's a huge help.
☕ Thanks Katie!!
I've been feeling sluggish this past week too and it's taking all I have to get my household duties done. Hopefully, I will find some relief in getting an actual dishwasher to help some of that out. Glad you are getting some family time and you can work on your DP's without any looming collabs that you have to do - all in all, completely enjoy the experience. Thank you for asking how we are doing. See ya next time. ☕
🫖 I like how open you are about your mental state! Very brave.
My son has something simular. He asks so much of himself, like beyond possible. And every time he doesnt live up to perfection, he gets upset and feels like the most stupid child around. For me it's very tough to deal with as I dont know how to best support him and give him the assurance he needs, which then makes me feel like a failure of a mom.
My mental health has been pretty bad lately. I finally got into therapy and got my anxiety under control but now my depression is getting bad again. ☕
☕️ thank you for an awesome video as always!!
I am doing ok. It's great to here about your son and how his doing. ☕
I enjoyed this video so much. I as a grandmother of a grandson who will be four years old in February am seeing a lot of ADHD tendencies with him. I watch him thru the week an he is constantly on the go. His attention span is 0...So having taught special needs he sure is a challenge for me as a grandmother.. I find the calmer I am the calmer he is. Your Micha sounds like such a sweet heart! Your a wonderful mom!☕
This was so relaxing to work on my WIP and listen to you chat with away. I’m working on Randal Spangler Lazy Day for #seasonofspangler. Just loving it. Surprised for a larger canvas with squares how nice it’s working out. Hope you have a great week. ✌️❤️💎☕️☕️☕️☕️
OK, this weekend has been really hard, not sure 100% way. Most prob cycle related but also I have had lots of hospital appointments over the last month and hubby is full on with his work but also been massively supportive. Life is goals dropping/collecting girls and keep them safe alive......baby steps xx
Katie, you were completely transparent on your Josephine Wall reviews, I 👀 it. Not to worry. Love your channel❤
I love that you’re actually calling it Voldemort!! 🤣
Also, that was totally me about companies doing pre-Black Friday Black Friday sales. It’s their way of trying to mitigate the massive influx of Black Friday mail traveling through UPS and USPS.
☕☕☕☕☕☕ Hello Katie I can't say again how much I enjoy watching your videos& I look forward each day to see if you have new one up on UA-cam. Thank you soo much. P. S. I also drink my coffee(creamer) the say way you are just too funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
#replay ☕. Worked on Time from DAC. Loving it!
Not had the best week, but starting to come out the other side now. Thank you for posting this video, really cheered me up. ☕
You are one of the most honest reviewers I’ve seen. Sometimes people are too random for me. LOL
☕️ That kit looks amazing! So many bright colors. I’m doing okay. I’m beginning to feel some anxiety about Thanksgiving; holidays aren’t the same since my mom died, and I kind of dread them now.
Going off of your reminder to folks that it’s okay to ask for help, one thing that made me put it off for as long as I did was knowing that other people had it worse. I told myself that because I had a happy marriage and a good job that my anxiety and depression weren’t really hurting me that much. You don’t have to be at rock bottom to ask for help, and you deserve to do better than just getting by, which is what I did for years. It’s hard but it’s worth it! ❤️
I don't struggle with mental health (that I know of) but I have a rare disease called Klippel-Feil Syndrome and I live with endless pain 24/7, I get strong medicine 💊 to help out, but they just make it bearable to live.. And I have all these things that I can't do or do very well, so my husband has to do a lot in our home beside working 50 hours a week. That leaves me feeling guilty all the time and that can be rough to live with.. I have tried asking for help, since I always help others if I can, but nobody responded to my cries for help 😔
Thank you for your vip & chats, I really love ❤ hearing about you and your life 🙂
I watched this after I got home from my therapy session, so I think I’m doing OK for now 👍. Talking about brunch was making me hungry! Thanks for the fun chat 😃 ☕️
Hi, katie! I love listening to your wips and chat. I can feel your struggle with your anxiety, depression, etc... I'm going through the same. I feel so tired but I'm fighting it. I pray for you, your kiddos and husband. Adulting is really a struggle 😊 but always keep your head up and your feet on the ground. Hugs! ☕ here's a Barako coffee from the Philippines 🇵🇭 💖
In regards to Santa and Elf on the Shelf we tell our girls that parents have to say yes they can or no they cannot come into our house. Some parents may not want an Elf doing stuff around their house, we on the other hand said yes we will take an Elf. We try our best to follow something to read, need, want and wear and that is more often where we put a more expensive gift. We just remind the girls that Santa does have a lot of girls and boys to give presents to so expensive things may take away from other kids presents. ;-) Just some ideas.
I'm feeling every day lately like I'm going to have a panic attack, my anxiety as been really high. I'm guessing from hormones (peri-penopause) and time change also. ☕
☕ I was working on Black and White from diamond art club.
Hi; I just started Diamond Painting last night and I listened to your lovely voice while I worked on my very first Diamond Painting Christmas Card, which was delivered this afternoon. I'm on a laptop now so no emoji...but I enjoyed sipping hot lemon ginger tea while listening. :-)
I love your videos.
You hv uh a soothing voice love listening to you 🥤
Yay so proud of Micah! And omg I’d be the same way, I hate getting sweaty, no way will I be in a true crime. I’m not carrying anything!
Coffee emoji!! Thanks for the video!! Working on Let it Snow by DAC!!
I love
Your dragon cover minder
I'm feeling pretty good today! Thank you for asking how everyone is doing, it's really sweet! I love my coffee the same way lol ☕
My husband ordered me a pen from Jim’s pen shop I am super excited I want to peak !
☕️ I tried Starbuck’s sugar cookie almond milk latte today and it was super yummy! This week has been super hard for me, I have to write two research papers by the end of the week and one of them is about the political economy 😳 That stuff goes right over my head. I have really bad anxiety and I’m a perfectionist as well, so writing this paper has been like pulling teeth. This is the first night (early morning?) I’ve diamond painted this week, I was missing it! Haha. I’m currently working on “Pumpkin Patch Bunnies” by Abraham Hunter from DAC. Getting into the fall season. So cute!
☕️ Working on DPD “Crystal of Enchantment”.
☕
Enjoy listening as I drive my 30 miles one way to pick up my son from school. ☕
I needed this today, thank you 😔 I've actually been signed off from work for the first time in a while because my MH is so bad. I know it will pass, but it's hard to believe that when your mind and body is effing with you. Look after yourselves everyone xx ☕🍪
Tire easier now that it’s getting dark so early. 🍵 🫖
You didnt tell it, i have a kid with autisme, its to nice when the 'normal' standard gets in their routine, its helps them to find their identity and become theirselves. 🧃

🥤 working on a gnome in a truck of lemons saying welcome.
I know what you mean by certain things triggering a headache. Unfortunately, wearing a mask for a length of time (more than a hour) will trigger a horrible headache/migraine for me, complete with nausea and vomiting. Luckily, I can telework. But all the ‘wear a mask’, messages say to me ‘get a headache’
☕😻

Hot chocolate emoji 😁🥰
I suffer from anxiety also. And to top the pie , my dr informed me I probably starting menopause. Lucky me🤦🏽♂️. Why do you think diamond painting attracts people with aniexty or depression? And I often wonder why it helps us settle.
🌹🌹❤️❤️
☕☕👋
☕ Thanks for the great video - sorry for the negativity, but it's obvious that she didn't watch the whole thing! Have a great day.
Katie, how are the new rose gold tips??
I'm here...that's all. I'm struggling through my days. I haven't been able to dp in a couple months. Everything takes great effort. But your girl's day out sounded nice. And your experience with that idiot woman for the dp review irritated me. I feel bad for you since you were weren't overboard with good tales about all of the features. I thought you were fair. Good luck with this DAC project.🌹👍❤
My mom passed away on Wednesday and I'm having a really hard time with her passing. She has been sick with Multiple Sclerosis for a long time and the family knew her passing was coming but know she was near her end of life didn't make it any easier.
Oh Dawn I'm so sorry for your hurt. My mom passed in March and it's been a hard road for me. I wish you much strength. ❤
@@sabrinaf1188 thank you so much. I wish you strength as well.
Oh how sad! I know I don't know you, but I am really sorry for your loss *hugs*
@@collettedesigns71 thank you so much.
Dawn, I'm really really sorry that I'm just now seeing and responding to your comment. I just wanted to send so much love and light your way. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss, and I'll be thinking of you 💛
