I am so proud of you for making that decision to only add the 1 dp! I am on a similar recovery journey with my stationery addiction and it's necessary to be strict with ourselves like that if one justification can easily lead to another. You deserve small rewards, that's such a smart plan. I'm fighting with you! Take care ❤️
Thanks - I 've been going for a long long time now...and still not done - I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. The no-buy is the hardest part. LOL
Hi again, Lisette… I’m rewinding and taking notes and rewinding again taking notes again! 😝 I really hope I can get follow through!! Even if I go halfway! But I will do my best to be like you! Well done, Lisette!! 🥰

I love this series I was thinking about after every 3 I could reward myself with something dp related but when you said it would be triggering I thought how smart you are so right, so I will come up with a little gift for every 3 I complete. 🥰

I really enjoyed this! I love your journal and countdown system. Very inspiring. Now that I have 7 new (to me) Mandie Manzanos on the way, maybe I should start tracking my progress on the stash I already have built up! I need to evaluate ... you've got me thinking! Which is a very good thing.
I really really love how you done your journal ,also other creative hobby with a pretty page at the end 😜 Reward with some stickers for your journal . Succes. Lovley video. Take care . 🥰
Hi Lisette, I love this series. I'm going to try to detox with you with a few tweaks of course. I think your stash is quite manageable. I'll be dead by the time I get through my stash🤭🤭🤭🤭. I think I will also redo my DP notebook similar to yours with a few stickers and colors too. This may make it a bit more of a happy challenge. Thank you girlfriend for the needed nudge🌞👍🏽
Ah Lisette! I just subscribed to your channel on part one of your detox series. Your ?.. caught my eye and I adored seeing your stash. It really inspired me to seek out the art I adore and make customs instead of being dependant upon the whims of the sellers. Also the one I adore the most, Mini Caged is huge!! Must be expensive! And will require me to buy drills on my own. BUT I will end up with a treasure! Only problem is that Heaven and Earth only sell square drills. I started this hobby doing squares but then Huacan began the whole wrong sized drill disaster where we all got stuck with imperfect square drills. Since then, I am only buying round drills. Square takes longer but really, square is not a deal breaker. After a year of doing this hobby I found that collecting lovely art in DP at sale prices became an equal obsession with me. So I have a stash of 80 canvases. 75% of them are medium to small like 30x30 since the finished ones can be completed quickly and stored in a portfolio. That was last year tactic. I ignored my larger canvases. Still I only have less than 10 which are larger like 60x90 and I have never paid more than $25.00 a canvas. My a fluke, I organized my stash last February and listed it all. I cannot calculate the cost over two years because I have no bills. I am going to assign $20 per canvas to give me a ball park figure for costs. I also never paid more than $20 per storage kits so I can get a figure. You see what a good influence you are on me? In the middle of my second year I became addicted to adult colouring. Many colorists also do DP so it was marvellous to follow people with my own special illness". I find I colour in spring summer but prefer DP in fall winter, I cannot explain why. I just listened to this video part 3. For your DP it forward, can you not select canvases you already own? I understand that wonderful breast cancer symbol it one such canvas. I am creating a book like you because I am very much a list person and love to check boxes for work done. I am going to reward myself every three painting because I am committing to one large, then one medium canvas and then one small. First I am completing my three Wips and then a reward which shall be a special coffee or an expensive fruit. No loopholes planned except that my reward on my birthday is one new DP. I don't know how well I will do but hopefully we can keep each other on the task. I also read and wish I would stick to books I own but when there are sales and library has my book, I cave. But as you said "Baby Steps" so first I work on my DP, then my coloring supplies, then next year I will tackle books. This is a very long reply. I hope I did not bore you. I live alone on a farm with my animals in the middle of Canada. I enjoy you very much. You make me chuckle. Today we had the snow arrive. It is -2°C. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas. God bless.
Wow, I’m impressed. Congrats on recognizing a problem and coming up with a plan. I too am detoxing thanks to you. My plan is to complete 6 buy 1 as a reward. Most of my paintings are large so even that goal should take quite a while but is do able. It will push me to complete my stash and yet hopefully satisfy me. I think my biggest problem is loving a painting and knowing that if I don’t purchase it I probably won’t be able to in the future. “c’est la vie”. Peace and love abide with you.
I like the idea of the rewards! I think I can do that. For every 5 I can order some macarons from my favorite bakery. 🥰 My biggest pitfall is going to be Black Friday with DAC. I have enough points for maybe one free. I think I might just limit it to two. But thanks for sharing! My stash has gotten way out of control and I really need to reel it back.
I am so pleased you’ve decided not to have so many loopholes. It just didn’t make sense. I am going to log all of mine and work my way through them too. The only problem is I am a full time teacher and am not making much progress on my DPD kit. I think it will take me a year! I work as much as I can on it but make slow progress! I’ll never finish my stash!!
I love this idea and taking control of your stash. I am going to try this with my stash because I have a bad habit of buying just because I love it attitude lol Thank you for sharing 💖
I love your detox series Lisette! I am 5 months in and so much more than ur stash, 😱. I want to do a detox also because I love all that I have and would really love to work on them. So I may follow your footsteps soon, I hope u won’t mind!
That's a good idea. I already have all them in a book. I now know how many time it take me to do 1 so I know I already have too much... I will keep my book near when I feel the need to order to see how much work I have to do... and think if I really need to buy another one.
@@LisetteCraftsandTells and to have a little picture in my book make me fall in love again with what I already have. I am not sure if it will be a good way to not buy again but at least, maybe buy less ( I got 30 DP in 7 months... by doing a list and up date my DP book with picture make me realise I need to stop to buy and do the one I already have).
I love the idea of rewards after finishing a number of dps - I’m always in need of motivation to work faster! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, that way it's even more fun to actually finish

I love everything about this series!!!! I’m soooo proud of you Lisette!!!! You got this!!!! Big hugs and kisses for you!!!😘😘🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks nurse Rachel 💝💝
love this video. you found such a creative and fun way to work through your stash. 😀

Love your reward system and kudos to you for going back and changing your loophole as hard as it was.
I definitely need to rewatch this one, because I don't recall changing my loophole.
Thanks for sharing fantastic content ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for watching Tess.

Ha ha ha - yes Susie, we all think alike.
Hi Lisette, j'ai pris des notes! J'ai hâte de mettre en place un système égal et qui me fasse avancer dans mon stash !
am so proud of you for making that decision to only add the 1 dp! I am on a similar recovery journey with my stationery addiction and it's necessary to be str
Thanks so much.
I think maybe you should have redone this video...lol. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Susan - I really thought about it, but decided not to ...and to actually show my thought process...
I really enjoyed this! I love your journal and countdown system. Very inspiring. Now that I have 7 new (to me) Mandie Manzanos on the way, maybe I should start tracking my progress on the stash I already have built up! I need to evaluate ... you've got me thinking! Which is a very good thing.
Thank you Theresa - that’s so sweet of you to say 💝
I know you are passionate about Diamond Painting It Forward. I am so impressed that you made the sacrifice to further your goals. 💜
Thanks Theresa. I'm so glad you understand.
I really really love how you done your journal ,also other creative hobby with a pretty page at the end 😜

Succes. Lovley video. Take care . 🥰
Yes, I think I'm going to enjoy doodling in my journal LOL

Hi Arlene - thanks for sharing your story from Canada. I really like your plan - baby steps it is and let's see how far we can take this.
Definitely following along and will be working on my stash too! 🙌😘😘
Hi Nicki - thanks so much for following along. Let's have some fun.

Hi Bev- I love your plan. Just try it and if it works great - if it doesn't: no harm done. Big hug for you
I like the idea of the rewards! I think I can do that. For every 5 I can order some macarons from my favorite bakery. 🥰
My biggest pitfall is going to be Black Friday with DAC. I have enough points for maybe one free. I think I might just limit it to two. But thanks for sharing! My stash has gotten way out of control and I really need to reel it back.
Ohhh Macarons - yes, yes, yes - my favorite flavour is LEMON. I'm a bit afraid of black Friday myself....so I totally get it.

You can do it Elizabeth LOL 💝
This plan is beyond perfect. I am ready to start the progru
Thanks Paula - so glad you like it.

Hi Crystal Marie - please do - I would love for you to join me.
Great idea not to buy too many more and get some of your stash done. I look forward to see your diamond paintings in the next year.
Thank you so much!
Dit is geweldig!! Met 7 paintings heb ik nog niet echt een detox nodig maar het is zo leuk om te zien!
Hi Anita - ja ik dacht - laat ik eens een andere insteek kiezen. Op deze manier is het misschien nog leuk om te doen ook LOL
Great system. Always good to write out goals!
Absolutely!
Love this serie !!
Thanks Catherine
Love it!! ❤️
Thanks Lily

This is a perfect plan for detoxing. We’ll all be watching. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bonnie - glad you like my idea.
