MA'AM! You are an influencer and inspiration! You have helped me in ways I cant express in words. Being that this is my first year diamond painting, I have had to learn so much. Watching/listening to your videos/streams here and on twitch help me so much. I've learned the do's and dont's from you! Even this video got me in the feels and made me think! THANK YOU
I grew up in a small town. A very small logging/farming community and our Christmas parade also had decorated logging trucks and farm tractors. I live in a major Metroplex now and I miss the small town. Thank goodness I have most of my family there and reasons to go back frequently.
Thank you so much for answering the tag questions…your answers were amazing! I’m so thankful to have found an awesome community of crafters like yourself and I cannot wait to see what 2024 brings! ❤️
I’m totally with you when it comes to diamond paintings with drills that don’t fit the canvas and spacing issues. I just finished one where the drills were just barely big enough to cover the training circles. I actually had to break out the metal mesh ruler to save my sanity. I haven’t used one of those in years. 😬
You are an influencer... in ways you don't realize. You help us feel good about ourselves, you teach us ways to help improve our diamond painting techniques, and so much more. I've been diamond painting for about 3 years now and I have to tell you, you were one of the first UA-cam DP channels I subscribed to. I enjoy your videos and your overall positive attitude toward life. I SO agree with the stress of gift giving for the holidays. I got a DP for my sister that is 60x168cm... and I'm at 55cm done.. out of 168... So, I did the math and realized if I were going to get it done by Christmas, I'd have to DP 6-8 hours a day every day until then. Which is impossible since I work full time. I was so stressed out, I was sitting there at 4:30 in the morning trying to get in a couple hours of DP prior to work and thought.. this is crazy.. this isn't fun.. this is supposed to be fun.. not a chore... so.. she's getting her DP for her birthday in June, not as a Christmas present.. I took a couple days off from diamond painting.. and now I'm looking forward to doing it again..
I put my AB’s in first as well because I like how they use up a bit more space and it makes the rest of the Drills around them not gap. I also use the tip that comes with the Dreamer Designs canvases to place my AB’s
I am a crocheter and I need you to stop seeing me hahaha I am set on making a pair of sweaters for my two young nephews, if it means I'm sat the night before chilling with a hot cocoa into the evening ✨️ (It's really not that bad when they're child-sized)
It was nice listening to the answers you had for those questions. I'm with you on the Christmas cards. Because buying international stamps in Belgium to send cards home is just a freaking crazy amount of money. The stamps are way more than any card you buy. And with my bank account being like yours I just can't afford that anymore. ❤😊❤
So how many drill cases do you think that you have? You must have a new case kit for the 70 or so pictures you’ve done. I bought the one case with a little test tube miles in it. He mentioned in this video. I absolutely love that one. I was able to use that for two different pictures that was in the files for all the drills.
Definitely agree on confetti--it's not my forte either, and just takes a lot more out of me to do it. I'm definitely burning out on my confetti-heavy fall-themed Jaded Gem Shop. I want to finish it, but think i need to put it away for a little bit so I can work on a (small!) holiday diamond painting instead. (And the insanely huge pile of holiday puzzles I accidentally collected this year! And prepare to host family!)
@@RachelRaeCraft Hey Rachel How Do You Do.? I want to tell you i've reseved your diamond painting kit that I have been waiting for two months.. But unfortionately i had lost one of the drills.. number 28 in the kit😢😢 maybe i throw It by mistake 😭 can You help where can i get the same DMC color.? Maybe on Ali Express.? Send help please😅
And by the why am from saudi arabia and i like to watch your videos All the time and i liked your drawing Very much. So iam never hesitate ordering it.
#28 is 3348 DMC - I would ask Elizabeth from Enablers Outpost how many diamonds you need in that color and then order from a store like this www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003197681368.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.53.59e04d63k9zJHn&algo_pvid=29172f62-905a-40e6-b71b-aaf732fef3ba&algo_exp_id=29172f62-905a-40e6-b71b-aaf732fef3ba-26&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21EUR%216.21%213.42%21%21%216.64%213.65%21%402101eab017053208848352856e9006%2112000024617074291%21sea%21IE%21705277204%21&curPageLogUid=4q7o6qpxoHLO&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A
Thank You Very much for your respond.. Yes i ordered allready from similar store in Ali Express (Ever shine) store i gave them the DMC and they will send 10 bags from It. But i hope the size of the drills are the same becaous i heared every diamond painting company has it's own way of making drill i hope it will.!
Rachel! Greetings from Dallas! My grandmother always used Estée Lauder Youth Dew. That perfume brings back so many memories. My mother started wearing it at some point in her life also. I’m tempted to buy a bottle just to have the sense memory always available to me. Might that be the perfume you were trying to remember?
Hah.... you don't consider yourself an influencer, I sure have bought a painting or two due to unboxings! Our small town does Christmas the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so beautiful, looks like a Hallmark movie at night. We don't go to the lighting, too cold for me. I stopped buying for extended family years ago for Christmas, just my hubby, son, and parents. Even my siblings and I will just go out to dinner or grab a drink, don't remember last time we exchanged gifts. I always say I'm going to send out Christmas cards, have enough to last a lifetime from clearance sales, still don't do it. Don't feel bad about those things, spend the time you want with who you want, that's what it's about. All holidays have turned commercial anyway! 🥰
I have several different waxes but always have issues with AB’s falling off my pen or not sticking to the wax. I’m terrible with tweezers…any suggestions? 😊
We have similar bank balances 🥴. And same opinion about stamps! Did you get a card from An Post a few weeks ago? I got one, and thought I'd prefer cheaper stamps, and custom fee add on removal!
Sorry about that painting I had a feeling it wasn’t going to turn out good. But back then we were leaning about things. I have a painting of that company that I just can’t seem to finish too lol. I haven’t bought from them in like two years, because they don’t do license artwork. And the quality isn’t there. Lesson learned.
I love Estee Lauders Beautiful scent.
Yesssss!!!! You show em how you stick that paper girlllll! Ty so so much for sharing!!

I don't have nearly that many! I reuse them.

True that! I hope you get plenty of time to spend with family this year. 💜

Was it the white diamonds cologne? I’m pretty sure that’s estee lauder
It was Youth Dew :)
We have similar bank balances 🥴. And same opinion about stamps! Did you get a card from An Post a few weeks ago? I got one, and thought I'd prefer cheaper stamps, and custom fee add on removal!
Nope! Nothing from them but bills lmao
Was the perfume Youth Dew?
Yes, I think it was!
I think that perfume is called youth dew

No worries! Yes we were all learning back then
What size are those Trabricks? Tiny or large?
Tiny
