My oldest kit is from DAC’s Cyber Monday 2023. This is a really cute kit. I’ll check out Stasha’s page; I like that EW funnel. I have one but it’s much smaller. Thanks for mentioning her page again.
I stand my big containers up so my others will nestle down in the tray 😂. I’m 2/3 done with my silver husky dog 🎉your ocean looks like it’s turning cold 🥶 stay warm. Oh and we set a record here in your old neighborhood- wettest November on record- which we needed!
My oldest kit I bought 4 months ago.😂 That’s when I found DP. I’m a bit jealous of your rental. I use the sound of waves (sometimes rain) to fall asleep at night. Enjoy it a little for me!
WE appreciate your editing of crinkle noise 😊 I think I've decided I'm not kitting down anymore, I use the tic tac containers and just leave the extras in them and store.😅
Don’t you find going to the grocery store a fun little adventure. When I visit my brother in Orlando. I’d love to go shopping at the grocery store and see all the differences. I always bring home something cool
My two oldest kits both arrived on the same day in 2021 (along with two others that I've already done). They were from HomeCraftology, and all 4 were sent to me in error while my order went to someone else. I notified the company, and they apologized, sent my original order to me express, and told me to keep the four that were not mine. They were all $50 - $60 kits. I thought this was so generous, but the two I still haven't done just weren't my style. Hence, they are still sitting in my stash. Some day.
My oldest kit is called “Summer Sunset” from Craftpack Canada, which I received in early December 2021! It’s my last DSA kit ! Thank you for the lovely view of the waves, is it the same place that you rented once before? Looks amazing! We do get FedEx deliveries here, and my DAC boxes are always more banged up than they used to be with DHL. Hope everyone has a great week. ❤️from Ontario 🇨🇦
Ur Gingerbread light house is going to be so beautiful, love how the colors look so gorgeous in the EW tray. The waves were awesome. Weather here is a dull damp November day, expecting rain 🌊🌊🌊
when I use Elizabeth Ward storage to kit up, I just use two tiny containers for fuller drill bags and put another sticker that says" + 2 bags" if there are other bags of that color. We had 63 mph wind yesterday with our snow.....
hey Daphne - my 2 oldest kits were purchased from DAC in Sept '22 - Home on the Hill by madartstudios and Rounding up the Dust Bunnies by Randal Spangler (i'm not counting budget canvases - which i still have a small stash of). Awhile back, i bought an EW tray that had nothing but the tiny containers. it's really useful for when you need 'more' than the regular tray configurations. happy dotting!
Always enjoy your chats... Im fairly new to Diamond painting. My oldest kit i got in 2023, still haven't done it. Mostly because im not that interested in it. 🤷♀️ 💜💎🎨👩🦳
I think that is going to turn out really cute! I can’t wait to see it done. My oldest kits are definitely from 2020, mid to late year purchase. I know I have it kitted up, just have not gotten around to doing it yet! It’s in my to do list.
Hello Daphnee! I highly recommend to use Purolator of the Post in Canada, FedEx and UPS are charging a ton of fees for anything they ship across the border... If you buy something from the USA and the company doesn't charge you the taxes upfront themselves you can be sure they'll charge you a LOT of fees! Don't worry DAC do it so FedEx don't charge anything 😊 Purolator is very effective, fast and safe! Canada post, when not on lockdown, are very good too! I had mostly bad experiences with UPS and DHL here! For across the border I truly recommend Canada Post since it is very rare that someone pay import fees. It can happens but very unlikely 😊 (I have a small business, this is why I know that 😅)
@@Stef_T-G I’m sure we’ll get it all figured out. I’ve got options, I just need to figure out which one is the most cost effective. Thanks for sharing!!
@@kimschannel1911 As far as I know, there is no link to a store. You just have to contact her via FB and then she sends an invoice via PayPal. Sasha’s 3D Printing is the name of her group. Thanks for watching!!
They had just started to come out of China around then and could usually be found among the cross stitch on ebay. I bought one because I had the 'great' idea that I could use the little squares to make a mosaic floor for my dollshouse, only to find the tiles were not flat on both sides. Oh well that went the way of most of my 'great' ideas, but I found a new hobby. They were considerably cheaper then too.
November 29th 2019 is my oldest kit I haven't diamond painted yet. Sasha and Jet. I have the paper and stickers for the last unicorn but the rest is gone - who knows what happened to it. I may find it someday or I might have tossed the box thinking it was empty? Not sure I would ever have completed that one looking back because of all the dark colors in the background. Anyway, loved the video! Oh I probably have a few kits from before 2019 that are small amazon kits or similar. I don't keep track of that stuff. I just diamond paint what I'm interested in at the moment. lol
🌊We just left the beach yesterday. Choosing late summer and early fall for our months there -- the height of the hurricane season -- makes being on the waterfront a big challenge sometimes. Do you have to worry about storms where you are?
There aren't usually bad storms here, or so my husband says! It's been rainy and windy for the last couple of days and colder than I am used to. So I will be shopping for some more appropriate winter gear soon. Thanks for watching!!
I do hope you can stay warm and dry! Thanks for the storm info. We watch hurricane channels religiously but I never think to look past the southeast. Seems the really bad storms turn off to the east well before reaching the border. @@DiamondPaintingAnonymous
A tip for static drills line a tray with a dryer sheet then pour drills onto it then fold the dryer sheet so drills go into the crease of dryer sheet then pour into container. Works a treat!
Brand new to DP. Just finished my first ever project, two little bookmarks. I loved it. I was sorting my second kit as I watched. It’s greeting cards. I’ve watch a bunch of your videos over this past week and they have been so helpful. Thank you!🧡🖤🧡
I have a couple from 2021 which is when I started. One of them probably only has a days worth of work left to do on it. I just keep putting it back in the back of the closet.🙄
My oldest kit is a Josephine Wall I got from uniquely yours down under back in May of 2021. Not looking forward to tackling it…their canvases and drills aren’t the best.

I'm so glad you showed us these containers. I found more or less the same kind of them on Temu. So I was quick to get hold of them.
I have some knock off ones as well, though I prefer the quality of the original EW better. Thanks for watching!!

We have FedEx, ups and purolator
