⛅️ I lost my husband a year ago and needed something to relax me and not feel so alone and sad. My friend said her friend from another province was describing it, so I searched UA-cam and found you. We watched your WIPnChat. We were hooked. Thank you ❤
I started diamond painting in 2019. I noticed how it really helped with my anxiety and depression. My brain just focuses on the diamond painting and nothing else.
Plus, it’s fun for me to do. I love being creative. ⛅️ Love your WIP & chats. I like to work alongside you. Feels like I have a friend in the room with me. ❤
I usually don 't comment, but thank you for being my crafting company tonight! Was nice to hear how you started.
I started diamond painting last fall while recovering from a broken leg that I received in a motorcycle accident last July. I saw an “influencer” share diamond painting with her kids and thought it looked interesting. I’ve been hooked ever since!
Side note - after 2 surgeries on my leg, I was cleared yesterday to walk without any assistance!! Hallelujah ❤ ⛅️
⛅️ I am an avid cross stitcher since the 80s which means of course I watch all the “Flosstube” UA-cam videos put out by people also obsessed with crossstitch. Several of these people also do diamond painting and talk about it and show their wips. That got me intrigued but I just didn’t jump right in. Then my niece decided that I needed a new hobby and got me two diamond painting kits to do. So about a year ago I finally sat down and worked on them on and off. Surprise, I really liked it. I even got my husband to give it a try and he is having fun too. Gives us something we can sit down and do together. It will never totally replace my cross stitch, that is in my blood as it were but I love having another creative outlet to go with it (and my knitting, crocheting, and photography😂). Enjoyed your video a lot. I am definitely learning new tricks to try.
I agree with so many others. I hear your wip and chats weekly, and by the way you have a beautiful voice love the way you do the sneak peaks and how respectful you are. Thank you. Hope you feel better soon. Commercials on UA-cam about Diamond Painting is what attracted me to this craft I also do Tumblers. ⛅️
I purchased a small kit on Amazon for my daughter for Christmas in 2019. When we had the shutdown in March 2020, I told my kids to pull out their crafts. She opened it and was very confused because when I gave it to her, I told her it was a paint by number. I truly thought that was what it was when I bought it. She tried it for a bit but became uninterested. I ended up finishing it and fell in love. I have 5 kids that are only 5.5 years apart that I'm raising on my own. They all have adhd (as do I), and one of them has learning difficulties. I also work at a job as an advocate for people with special needs where the expectations are high in a state with little resources. Having this outlet has helped my anxiety immensely. That initial purchase was the best mistake of my life. I'm almost done with kit #86 and have nearly that many in my stash.
I'm grateful that you started your channel. I know you don't like to be considered an influencer, but I've made several amazing purchases because of your reviews. I probably trust you and have more similar taste to you than any other content creator. I just love your channel and appreciate the opportunity to follow along on your journey. You also do such a great job with photos on Instagram. ☁️
🌥️I sure hope you feel better soon, Laura. Always love to hear how people started their channels. I think you would do great over on Twitch. I love watching streams over there while I’m coloring or diamond painting.
⛅️ You’ll always be my #1 influencer/enabler 😊
☁️☁️ I started Diamond painting after trying cross stitch, my therapist actually recommended it to me and I’m so glad she did!
☁️ Katie, on the 4th goodbye at the end, made me chuckle.
"Tell me you're originally from the Midwest without telling me." 😂
WI girl here 🤚😊
☁️ I discovered diamond painting in August 2022. I kept sseeing the Diamond Art Club commercial on other UA-cam channels I would watch. At first I thought it looked silly, but the more I saw the commercial the more it intrigued me. So I looked up some UA-cam videos of people diamond painting and thought what the hell why not try it myself. And bought a couple kits on Amazon. And now I am absolutely addicted
You definitely have a soothing voice. You’re very inspiring, I enjoy watching and learning from you. When the pandemic hit I went into crafting again (I had cross stitched on and off from teenage years till about 10 years ago) I was doing wreathing. One of the wreathing coaches was at Pinners in GA last year and went by crafitbly table and I was like “what is diamond painting” I went on UA-cam to learn what it was. I went on Amazon, not knowing then about license work, and got a painting. Once I placed my first drill the rest was history. I enjoy Diamond painting a lot more than wreathing and ended up putting wreathing on the back burner. The community around diamond painting is a lot better, nicer, more welcoming, I feel. I believe I got your Randall Spanglers paintings 😊 🐉
I hope you feel better soon.. sending lots of thoughts and prayers to you, Adam and the boys
I came across diamond painting in 2018 when a ad showed up on Facebook and I gave diamond art club a chance in 2019 now it’s the only place I get my kits from ☁️
First, I love your wip and chats.
I got started with diamond painting in November 2020 so not quite the lock down but I remember being so sick that winter. Then we all know what came a couple of months later. Anyway... I bought one kit from Hobby Lobby and then became so obsessed that I ordered 3 from Amazon. I then discovered Rachel Rae and Diamond Art Club. I placed my first order from DAC and promptly gave the 2 Amazon kits that I had left to my son to complete. They weren't bad quality but I only wanted to do DAC at that point. Here we are 3 years later and I still love diamond painting!!! ☁️☁️🌤
🌥 I was in Utah in a Facebook group that women were 'blessing' other women in Utah with gifts from their Amazon wishlist to try and keep each other's spirits up during the pandemic in the summer of 2020. And I saw diamond paintings on other's wishlists and put a few on mine. I got a couple but never actually tried one until after I moved to a more affordable state with my 3 kiddos all by myself and was suffering from panic attacks and anxiety pretty badly. Did one, looked up diamond painting on UA-cam, found your channel first and started educating myself in it because of how much I loved it!
🌤☁ It's taken 4 months but I've finally watched all your wip and chats 😁, I know you've mentioned in past videos that you cringe at the early videos, but I loved them. It's been wonderful hearing you speak so openly about your family and mental health struggles. I can relate to them so much. I stopped making youtube videos in 2020 because I was struggling with my mental health so badly, but now I feel like I have the confidence to make content again, all thanks to you. Your an inspiration, a brilliant person and I love your videos. I sympathise with your house maintenance struggles this year. It can feel like such a battle to keep on top of things, we've had a lot of house issues the last few years as well, it can be so stressful having people turn your home into a bomb site. I'm so sorry to hear about Adam's job falling through. sending positive vibes your way. Thank you again for all your great content.x
I so enjoy listening to you chitty chat. So soothing. I get twitchy too. I'm working on my very first 40 x 75 holy cows. Keep up the great work.
I hope you feel better. I pray that Adam finds a fantastic job very soon.
I'm so sorry to hear about Adam's job. It is so hard when things like that happen. Sending you and your family prayers and good vibes.❤
I found your channel right after I started diamond painting. I saw so many ads on Facebook and ASMR videos on Tik Tok, saw a kit at Hobby Lobby, bought it on impulse, and the rest is history. I thoroughly enjoy your content and there isn’t a video I won’t click on! Also…if you ever decided to do pop up livestreams during the day I would absolutely be there! For me, you wouldn’t need to migrate. Just stick to UA-cam and do them as you want to! No commitment whatsoever. Editing bc I wanted to add that you should definitely read TOG before rereading ACOTAR. 😂☁️
☁️ I got into it with tiktok and I love listening to wip n chats because I get so much done on my canvases
Enjoyed your WIP. Sometimes you really encourage me when I’m down. Thanks 💕
You are doing a great job. I'm thankful I found you.
I found diamond painting in 2020 but was working too much to have a hobby. Fast forward to hitting what’s hopefully my rock bottom in 2022 and I was forced to take time to recover for my mental health. Not too long after I started I found your videos ☺️☺️ sending good vibes for you and your family 🌤️🌤️
☁️🌥️⛅️ I just started diamond painting last week, so I have a lot to learn. Your soothing voice and expertise is making me like this craft more.
It is very interesting how everyone started Diamond Painting. I think the pandemic really pushed this craft since people were not supposed to really go out. My daughter actually started me on it when we saw some kits on clearance at Walmart. I think it was not too long before the pandemic started. I hope you feel better so🌤
FEEL BETTER KATIE!! I got the diamond bug after seeing an ad on Facebook during you know what! It clicks all the boxes for me. It's been 2 years for me so far!!
Have a great week ⛅️!
Heia🤗 I discovered diamond painting in the fall of 2021 while looking for tablet weaving videos on You Tube. And then Ingot my first picture from my sister for Christmas, and on January 3 2022 I ordered 3 paintings from DAC. since then I have finished 37 pictures. My first event was Chills and Drills 2022 😊 And Everyone in my family have received minimum 1 picture 😁 You are largely to "blame" for my new obsession 🤪 Have a great week and get well soon! Best wishes from Norway 🤗🤗🤗 💨☁️
☁️ I love your story o how you started
I started diamond painting when an add popped up on Facebook. It was also one of those horrible companies like Ecool or something like that where it was a 20 x 20 with an image that should of been like at least 50 x 50 to make any sense of the image 😅 but I loved the process so I did like all 10 that I bought. I then stopped for maybe a year and then I got a job working from home during the thing and I discovered DAC, and haven't looked back. I'm sorry to hear about Adam and the job not working out, but I believe some times it doesn't work because you stop looking ...and that better thing is right around the corner! Hope you feel better girly, have a good week! ☁️🌥️🌤️
I started Diamond painting in the Covid lock down as I was advised to shield and knew I would be climbing the walls in no time, I saw a video on Facebook so looked on UA-cam at videos, I then purchased some dp’s and haven’t looked back, I love doing them and find they are therapeutic
☁️ Hi Katie, loved the WIP . Sorry to hear about Adams contract. You ever think about moving to N. California my sons hiring, great benefits…lol….. no I know you are quite happy where you are. I enjoyed hearing the refresh on your intro into DP . Mine finds pretty much the same trajectory. I so love ,love,love the munimade DP you are working on . I was too late to the game. I watched your unboxing of it too late and immediately went buy it.and yess just my luck Sold Out! Oh well I’m keeping my eyes 👀 peeled for the restock. Well I hope you feel better ❤️🩹 soon, and your little luv bugs noes quits running soon. Been there done that 30 plus yrs ago. Hang in there, you are a great mom from all your WIPS I listen to. And keep those date nights going. It’s kept our 42 yrs of marriage going strong.
Prayers headed your way for all things. Hugs Linda E.
Dp is a metal helper It's my most favorite craft done it long time before DP was really big as it is now not to much DP kits back then and all the DP stuff as now ❤ love wip n chats . I also do corss stitching, crocheting, adult coloring, plastic canvas But always seem to be trying to DP then others
My 8 year old granddaughter got me started diamond painting back in early 2021. I started with a couple of decent Amazon kits and then discovered DAC. 175+ kits later I’m all in. 😂
☁☁Similarly, I found diamond painting in an instagram ad and after failing at all the others (knitting/crochet/cross-stitch/etc) its the one I was able to figure out how to do, but about January 2022, so its been a little over a year or so. I also absolutely loved how I needed to organize it all and use a label maker, etc, too. I also wanted to say that I agree with your friends, you have a wonderful voice and manner of speaking for youtube, or anything else really. Do not think twice about that, ever.
☁ First off, I hope you get well soon Katie! And I how got started on DP was back in 2021 when the Pandemic was going on and my mom was on Facebook and my father's cousin did a quick clip an showing all the DP's she had completed so far and I was hooked. So in July of that year I ordered y first DP and in October I was off running and I have been Diamond Paining ever since. For a year last October! I will be 2 years this October. I even go my mother into it.
I don’t remember exactly what made me want to try diamond painting. Probably just seeing ads for them and thinking how beautiful and sparkly they were. I always wanted to cross stitch but never could get into it. My first purchase was a 2 pack from Amazon of shells in one and turtles in another in April 2019. I liked doing them, but absolutely HATED how they turned out. All the ones I seen online were pretty and legible. The ones I got were not at all. I feel like that’s where we all begin. But I hung them on the wall anyway and one day like a year later I was staring at it from about 15 feet away and finally decided that it actually didn’t look as bad as I thought from a distance. It was October 2020 for my next couple Amazon purchases and found out that bigger is better (mostly). It wasn’t until I discovered DAC through Rachel Rae in July 2021 though that it actually became my obsession. I haven’t stopped since and actually look forward to working on one at least an hour or two each evening to help my stress levels.
I just started in January, and the first company I tried was the not so great one you mentioned, haha. After that experience I realized the render was my top priority.
I liked this kit too when I saw you unbox it. It's really looking great!☁️
⛅️ Facebook feed during Covid caught my eye and I’ve never turned back
I ordered the wrong thing from Amazon in Dec 2020 which turned out to be a Diamond Painting. I went to UA-cam to find out about it and the rest is history with my stash out of control and a mad love for special drills. 💗💗💗
Pretty canvas! So sorry about your husband’s work and am sending good vibes his way! I got into diamond painting via the adult coloring world. I watch a bunch of coloring UA-cam channels who are doing both coloring and diamond painting. Hope you feel better soon!
🌥 my diamond painting journey started in 2019 when I bought a kit but I didn't start it until I needed a hockey listening project. I listen to my NHL team on the radio (GoAVSGo) and needed something to do. I do knit and crochet but everytime I did that while listening they lost so I didn't want to keep making them lose (because it was totally my fault lol). Anyway I diamond paint while listening to games, but this year (2023) I try and diamond paint everyday because it's so relaxing. Currently working on my first Randal Spangler (I currently don't have any more in my stash but I could see burnout happening so his paintings will be purchased few and far between). Hoping everything works out well for the family. The void between work can be a scary unknown place and I hope it works itself out very soon! Feel better!
I started diamond painting when I picked up a cheap partial from a local craft store, then I went down the UA-cam rabbit hole learning all about it and deciding on the company I wanted to try first… which was DAC. This was in mid 2021 ☁️
☁️ I saw cheapie diamond paintings in a local shop and bought 2, and I was hooked!! Even though there was lots of popping 🙈🙈 That was at the end of 2021 🌸
☁️ thank you for sharing in your journey!
I love that cover minder!!
☁️ I believe I found out in a similar situation as you during the pandemic. I love the wip n chat! Prayers for you and the family!
Thank you for the WIP and chat, Katie! Sorry your not feeling well! Hope you feel better soon! Sending all the good vibes to you and Adam!
really enjoyed hearing about the why of how you started.
☁️ I was looking for a craft that I could do on my semi and got on UA-cam and a wip and chat came on. The woman showed a rolled up kit that she thought was beautiful and she said everything you would need is the canvas and the tools that came with it is all you needed to start. So I got on Temu to see if they had any kits for me to try it out. At first I didn't like it. But then was able to get to Joanns and buy a diamond club kits and it all fell together and enjoy it now.
I have only done 2 special diamond painting kits and 1 full diamond painting. I am currently doing my second full diamond picture now. That is a total mistory picture and enjoying see it come to live.❤
☁thanks for the whip in chat🌝🌤
⛅️⛅️ Love this painting
☁️ I was going through a rough time and was going to EMDR therapy. I was looking for a hobby to keep my mind busy. Now I’m addicted to diamond painting! 😅
I started diamond painting during the shut down but I can’t remember where I first heard of diamond painting. ☁️
I think a lot of us went through an awkward personal social media phase. I too ignored mine. I'm late to diamond painting myself... only started a year ago and was like oh this is fun
Great video, I always like WIP & Chats and you sounded fine, not hoarse at all. ☁☁
Hello, hope you feel better real soon. It was fun today. I was diamond painting while watching.
The way I found out about this awesome craft was I googled “crafts that are relaxing to do”. Diamond Painting popped up and I checked it out, bought a kit off of Amazon and fell in love. I upgraded to Diamond Art Club and now I am obsessed. I have branched out to a few other companies but mostly stay with DAC. Thanks for sharing!!! ⛅️☁️🌥️
I start Diamond Painting on 3/28 and loving it.
☁️☁️☁️☁️
I was a cross stitcher and was looking for something new. I came across your channel. So you are the reason I'm into diamond painting. Thank you💗
☁️ looking good
⛅️ ☁️ Rooting for Adam and family ❤❤❤
☁️🌥️⛅️Thanks for posting this video, Katie! I’m still kind of new to your channel, so appreciate hearing how you got into diamond painting. Have a great week!
💨☁️ clouds I had in my area today!! Hi Katie
I got in to diamond painting 2 1/2 years ago . After an add in Facebook. Found youtube and you creators . Now i'm hooked on diamond painting !! Thank you for another wip and chat, it's always nice to hear you. Hope you have a nice week to (Cloud emojie)
☁️⛅🌫love your WIPs! Totally not having the best of week....last Wed afternoon, I had a close encounter with a cement step, down, I didn't see it! And fell..... back onto an Adirondack chair, and I broke 5 ribs, all going into different directions, and one was super close to my left lung, so after spending 5 hours in ER, at out local hospital, I got to take an ambulance ride to another hospital, about 20 miles away, which is a trauma hospital. Not fun! I am home since Sunday afternoon, but cant sleep, cant sit watching TV, or reading, but find , if I am sitting at our dining room table, I can lean in, and Diamond paint! These WIPs, are saving me! Especially since I have only been getting about 3 hours of sleep! So, Thank You! Vickie from SE Pa
I really enjoy your WIP chats. I try and listen every time you post. A friend got me hooked diamond painting and as a retiree who has lots of time now it's my passion.
I hope you feel better soon! And lots of luck to Adam- I hope he finds something really quickly. 🌷
I think I saw some diamond painting ads on FB then started investigating what it was. Your channel came up and I started watching you then ordered my first painting and have been happy ever since. 😃
☁️ I hope you are feeling better!
I initially started doing perler art from cross stitch patterns and i had seen commercials from Paint with Diamonds and i was in the process of trying to do a portrait of my sister in rememberance and the company had a website that mentioned that they did customs of pictures. I immediately got one and even though it was a little difficult with the double sided tape i finished her portrait and that was about five years ago.
This is a very pretty diamond painting. Reminds me of the mrsbutterd ones by DAC. ☁️
Your friends were absolutely right,you definitely have a voice for UA-cam! Your voice is soooo soothing and I look forward to sitting down at night and listening to your wip videos 🙌🏻 I always say along with you in the beginning “Hellooo my friends “ 😂💕♥️
I really enjoyed listening to how you started your diamond painting career. It brought back bitter sweet memories to mine. ⛅️
I found diamond painting from a friend and advertising. I’ve been diamond painting since 2020. Also I absolutely love your lives , thanks for doing them. ☁️
I started Diamond painting in December of last year and I’m hooked. I found you through the Diamond art community. Love your videos. :) get well soon and thank you for sharing
🌧️ Thank you for sharing your Diamond painting journey; it was really fun to hear how you got started😊 I also got drawn in to a FB ad for Diamond painting during the pandemic. It was love at first drill placement. I haven’t stopped since! It has been so good for me in so many ways.
Yes please do the twitch thing!! I do most of my listening and diamond painting early afternoon mid-day!! I am always looking for live’s or WIP and chats to listen to while working on mine!!
☁️ I gave diamond painting a try after I found out how similar it was to Crosstitch. I can no longer Crosstitch due to arthritis in my hands I also don’t have the best vision for Crosstitch. Loved DPing right away 💖💎
🌤I started diamond painting after I had eye surgery and needed to keep my head down (eyes to the center of the earth) for 5 days. My sister-in-law had given me some DP bookmarks that she had gotten in order to give DP'ing a try. She didn't like it, but I got hooked. I thank her and blame her for getting me into this!
Great video thank you for sharing I enjoyed listening to you while I was diamond panting I am doing butterflies and also lion cub ☁️
☁️ 🌤️I discovered diamond painting the same as you actually. I saw an ad on facebook for paint gem and I decided to give it a try. So wild to think what if I ignored those ads! Life would be so different! I definitely attribute diamond painting for helping me get through the pandemic!
🌧️thanks for another great WIP’n’Chat! Loved hearing how you started on UA-cam. I’ve been following you since I started diamond painting in 2021 - my sisters got me into it and I was quickly addicted! Whenever I find another UA-camr to follow, I always go back and look at the very first video they put up - I don’t know why, but I find it fun to do that😊 Best wishes and positive thoughts to your husband in his search. ❤️from 🇨🇦
Hope you feel better 😊
Without diamond art I’d be in a mental hospital this hobby saved my life
I started with a Diamond Ditz kit someone gave me, I think it’s one of the biggest they have and the most boring lol. It was the crystal skull! I enjoyed the hobby but not the subject. I then went on to find other cheap ones, until I found your channel shortly after you started posting and I learned about the art and went down the rabbit hole and have been lost ever since 😊.
Sorry about Adam and the job another one is out there. Feel better soon
I first saw DP, similar to how you discovered it, FB randomly showed me multiple ads for DP companies. It got me curious enough to UA-cam a video on it and it was a random video from Racheal Ray. ⛅️
I’m sorry that Adam lost his job, especially since it was completely out of his control. I hope he gets a new one soon.
Katie I you are an influencer. You don't know how many times I've watched you do sneak peeks and unboxings and have bought whatever it was you were sneak peeking and unboxing. Be it a DP or small shop haul.😂😅❤
My sister-in-law got me into diamond painting. I always saw her posting them and was curious, so I bought a bunch from Amazon. I also found other sites and bought some more. In February of this year I discovered Diamond Art Club and have purchased 9 kits from them. 🙈😂 Hope you have a great day, Katie!! 😊🌷☁️
☁😶🌫 Hey Katie- so glad that you are feeling better. I had a friend tell me about her diamond painting addiction. I had been bouncing from craft to craft and fell head over heels with this craft. I have been diamond painting since September 2018.
Hi Katie! I’m a fairly new subscriber, but I feel like we may be kindred spirits! I have 3 (now grown,) sons with special needs, and I feel your exhaustion!! It’s definitely different than “typical parenting” for sure!! 😅. I love your videos, especially the tutorials!! I’m very new to DP, having been a long time rubber stamper! Can’t wait to get started on this new craft! 😁❤️👍🏻
Love the painting you shared ☁️
You dont sound hoarder to me but feel better. I got into diamind painti gs after my mom passed as we were hearing bout pandemic.
I finally got a ceramic pen cutter and it’s great
Hope you feel better soon! 🌷 I enjoyed hearing about your origin story!
Your channel could be ASMR...your voice is very soothing...
I don't know how to do a cloud ☁️ wait it worked never mind lol. Anyway discovering DP, well I seen it advertised and thaught actually it was a scam so ignored it. But about the same time you started I seen a small kit for sale in our rec center, I work in Yellowstone seasonally so I bought it. I started doing it but got irritated because of the pen that comes with the kits. It was just too annoying and I new nothing about custom made pens. So the next season started and I unpacked my dp I had left in my room in the park. I started watching videos and found out more about pens and cover minders and so on and there ya have it my dp and my pen addiction was born. I watched Mrs coffee and several others and then I seen one of your vids and honestly your the main person I watch now.
I have a very interesting story about how I started painting.
It was December of 2022 I was at the Atlanta Marketplace boding the buying for a gift shop I Volunteer for.
The owner of Diamond Dotz was there selling his line. I knocked over the sample display they had in the showroom and he had to sweep up all the diamonds.
I thought I would listen to his pitch as to why my shop should carry Diamond Dotz because I felt so bad for spilling all the diamonds everywhere.
I told him that there wasn’t anyway I could Diamond paint the diamonds are to small and my eyes wouldn’t be able to see them.
He assured me I would be able to.
I placed a small order for the shop and he gave me Starry Nights and told me to give it a try that I would like it.
It sat in the corner until the Olympics came on and I got it out to try while I was watching them.
I have been diamond painting every day since.
I was also lucky enough to ever have accidentally purchase unlicensed art work.
Also
The owner is from Australia and a very very nice (and good looking) guy.
So that’s how my journey started.
Tracy
Hope you feel better soon and that Adam will get a job fast. Loved hearing how you started diamond painting. My sister bought me one for Christmas in 2021 so that is how I started and I loved it. Still just bummed that we can not order from DAC anymore. I made it to the end but can not post a cloud.
I started diamond painting around 2019 but I didn't ended up sticking with it. I never finish that painting. Started again last year around December stuck with it this time ☁️☁️
☁️ I love your channel, my daughter introduce diamond painting two day before Christmas 2021, start on 27 December 2021, never looking back since that day...
☁️☀️ I do not understand everything but I like listen to you 😊
