Hello friends!
Welcome to my Month in Review of October 2023! I completed three diamond painting projects this month, and have three-ish works in progress (WIPs) going into the month of November. I’d love to hear how this month was for you, and any fun plans you have for the month ahead!

I finished my very first Diamond art club kit in October and now I’m fully obsessed!
Yay! Welcome to the Diamond painting world! 😊❤
Thank you!!
My Inner Sanctuary-you adore it so much, Katie...draw it out! Stretch it out! Enjoy it for as long as you can! 💗💓❤♥
I will be participating in Jingle Drills, but in the meantime, I’m working on a custom a friend gave me if my kids. Also, I’ve started collect one or two DAC kits and will be organizing those since 2 of my 3 children have moved to pursue married life and career. It’s a new time of life for me and my husband but diamond painting has brought me such joy. I really enjoy seeing all you have to share and what I might need next ❤
It’s always fun to see all your finishes and WIPs each month! Thanks for sharing Katie!
So, a first for me, I finished 2 projects during the event! The plan every year is to complete the one for the event within the time frame around life. Last year, my first year I needed the full 2 months to complete the one piece. I did finish Corydon Babe in 36 nonconsecutive days! I did not expect Spirit Lands - Castle to work up SSOOO QUICKLY! I had it done in 20 nonconsecutive days! I just could not stop working on it despite life!!! Thank you for hosting Drills and Chills! Currently this is the only event I participate in, I have looked into participating on others, but I'm not sure I would finish by the deadline... 🥰
Thank you for the review of your kits. They came out well and the dragon and fox on the pumpkin came out well. Peace and love abide with you 💕
I hope they bring back the Ann Stokes Dragon with Pumpkin. Maybe the bad drills is why they archived it so soon. I missed it and had it in my wishlist.
Thanks Katie! I really enjoyed viewing all of your work! I have also completed and framed Planet Witch! She was so much fun to work on and turned out beautiful! I get lots of compliments on her. Have a great week!
I was on a no buy. Really wanted to hold out until Black Friday. But My Inner Sanctuary did me in. I have the other glass instruments. In fact, my current WIP is In This Moment. I love these paintings! ❤
All gorgeous!
I completed so many Halloween kits over the last two months. I slowed down in October since I took on a massive landscape. It's funny how all my other paintings look so small now. I'm going to have a relaxing November since I am hosting the event. I have my Az painting, Flower Mermaid, my mystery kit, and my cross stitch conversion that needs some love.
I finished my first kit last year and working on a canvas that was made of grandkids for their mom’s birthday next week.
I am participating in the season of Spangler and jingle drills! Got my first DAC kit and love it.
I think I’ve already commented this, but I’m not positive so I’m just going to do it again 😅 I finished Feline Familiars as my entry into Drills and Chills. Then I completed Stacked Pumpkins and Autumn Treasures. I started Spooky Doll and am still working on it and am in love with it so I’m taking my time. Then I’ll be participating in Jingle Drills starting the 18th! Thank you for your amazing content! ❤
I just finished today from Diamond Art Club Panda Bears as a christmas present for my mom, just under 1.5 months to do it! And then I started The Beast from Diamond Art Club today, and it's my first round drill kit ever, so it is definitely taking some adjusting, but it is already looking so good!
Beautiful kits!!
I will be participating in Jingle Drills. Meanwhile, my next week off, I'll be getting my stash in order. Hubby built me a 5 tier shelving unit so I can finally get them organized.
I am going over to Instagram to follow the event for Nautical November! ❤Thank you so much for this event, it has been so much Fun!
Brilliant Review xx
Hey Katie! I love your channel. I love that Ann Stokes dragon - may have to put it on my wishlist for next year. I’m participating in the Spangler event, my first. His artwork looks so fun! I will also participate in Jingle Drills.
I'm participating in Nautical November along with Cup of Coffee DP Along! And next week I'll start another painting for Jingle Drills 😊
😊😊😊😊Hi Katie, good morning.
Love your finishes, especially Plant Witch. Probably because I am 25%Kenyan.
I am still working on Pumpkin with Sunflowers by Gail Flores. I kept getting Migraines and attacks of TMJ. Once I pulled of the event, the Migraines and TMJ stopped. I will not enter another event until I discuss this problem with my new Therapist.
I’m finishing Sneaky Cat this month. I will participate in Gnovember and Jingle Drills. ☺️
❤❤❤
I finished a piece by mélanie dion from DIYmoonshop last month, but I have hades and Persephone in my rotation and is getting slowly worked on. I’m also expecting Dante and Beatrice in the mail soon, my first from jaded gem shop! Very excited for it
Beautiful work! I would love the piano one to put on the wall behind my baby grand piano! Your diamonds are PERFECTLY straight! How on earth do you keep everything so straight... AND I don't see any gapping like I experience when I multiplace!!! I end of giving up multi-placing and end up checker-boarding because I hate the gapping that I end up with. If it's a large area and a darker color I will try to multi-place... but on lighter colors, I feel the gapping shows more so I end up single placing. Thanks for another great video! I'm can't wait for Black Friday to see what DAC releases 🙂
I love your reviews. The first one the dragon looks so realistic.
Love your month in review Katie. My fav is the pumpkin and dragon. But I can hardly wait to see the full piano completion. But considering how enamoured you are.... drag it out as much as possible within what is appropriate for you. Enjoy every second. Don't forget "Jingle Drills" with Emerald and Fairy Lights. This challenge might where I do my first DP!❤
Yeah….I’ve gone a little nuts with the events. Season of Spangler, Nautical November, and Jingle Drills coming up. Still deciding what kit to do for Jingle. Waiting on Crystal Canvas to drop their Christmas kits. 🎄👀☺️
Hi Katie. I finished DAC’s Virus Detected by Randall Spangler just a few days ago. In the meantime I’m hoping to finish Where The Fun Never Ends by Mandie Manzano before Jingle Drills begins. I still need to make a solid commitment to which licensed kit I want to finish, as I have more options than I realized. I may just go with my oldest kit to keep things moving. First in, first out, no jumping line! By the way, all great finishes and the piano one is stunning.
I think I have the same book
Had a lot of trouble with my 310 too on my recent diamond art club
I've been having issues with DAC's drills lately too. The 310s and 154s are either totally disfigured or so stuck together that grinding them between trays didn't do a thing. Still love the kits and DAC, but the last couple of kits haven't been as relaxing as usual lol 💞
Love your finishes, thank you for sharing, Katie! I am currently working on the Spangler Winter Mystery for Season of Spangler. Then I will get into another wintery/Christmas themed one for Jingle Drills. In October, I completed 2 Crystal Canvas Halloween paintings and Halloween Cat from DAC, all for Drills and Chills. I also did 2 tiny DAC's from Amazon of Elmo & Cookie Monster for my granddaughters room. Seems like I got a ton done in October but they were all smaller ones. Hope you have a great weekend!

Hi,,,i really like the piano picture,,hust one thing kinda bothers me with it,,,that bench she sits on,,,thr legs & sides looks as if its a wooden bench but the top looks like its see thru because you see her legs below her knees,,next point if the top is really clear & framed in wood or even a metal frame the frame work doesnt continue under her knees which should hide legs just below the knee,,,maybe its me & im not looking at it correctly or im just to picky on the keep it real look but i thought id share my thought with you but other than the bench i do really like it ,,,i hope your day is wonderful thank you for the videos i teally enjoy them ❤😊
How many do you have in gems flow that are “not yet started”? Lol I’m doing Spangler and jingle drills plus a gift. Then I have two languishing WIPs to return to
It’s well into the triple digits and then some 😆
I finished my first ever DAC in October 😁💎 Sweet Tooth by Mika Jelina 🍫🍭 This month I'm partaking in #diydpnov23, which is hosted by KittingUpKitten. We work on our cross stitch conversions every May and November. It's really a fun bunch op peeps ❤

October wasn't a very productive month considering I was in school full time during the month of October
