I'm so sorry that you are feeling a little homesick. It is hard not being close to family. 🥰 I do have something sort of new to tell you about. It is called Ghost from Diamond painting Daily. It is like the glue dots except in liquid form. You can put it in both your single and multi placer. You let it set until it is clear, or overnight, then it is ready to use. I just got mine a few days ago and am loving it so far. I did have to top it off. I would suggest overfilling your tips. It works great on abs. I would love to see a view of the water and ice that you see. Take care and thank you.
Oh my GOSH! The trains!!! People think I'm insane because I missed the sound of freight trains when I lived in the country. We recently moved back into town and I cried the first time I heard the train again! There's something oddly comforting about it.
@@erindreams1790 Right?! We had trains going by at least twice a day, usually in the morning and evening when it was quiet, so you could hear them for miles. Thanks for watching!!
The time thing is so difficult to my brain, was talking to my youngest daughter and she said something about 30 years ago….in my mind I am envisioning the 70’s….she laughed and said I was 2 years old 30 years ago, I was depressed🙀I’m old😂
State of the Stash 😂 and your washi tape was cracking me up 😂 thanks. Needed a little humor today. Hope you make your goals. I’m down to the bottom of the Silver Husky- I’ve sectioned it off to 8 sections. I’m crossing my fingers too🎉 I want to do Blinging in the new year and Ticket to ride 2025. I’m a newbie. Maybe that would make a nice series for people new to events. It seems a bit confusing and complicated at times on these events. I did sparkle all the way 2024. Ronda at Dip In Time and Jenn at DP Addiction made it seem easier because they had an area to finish instead of a new start and completion. Their goal was to encourage people to get sparkling ✨ and that really pushed me through on my project.
@@marladillard8721 I love the mustache washi!! 😂 I originally intended to cover events, but wasn’t sure how to approach it. I’ll add it to the list - maybe in an intermediate series? 🤔 Thanks for watching!!
I did the Add More Zest advent and it was incredible! And I didn’t cheat! I opened one gift per day along with the corresponding video. Can’t wait to join in the fun next year. The Diamond Painting Deustchland advent looks interesting too but it’s super expensive. Happy new year. Yay on seeing Bullwinkle! ❤
The homesickness will pass it takes time. My bestie moved to Quebec after getting married. She still misses the states 15 years later. I did several advents this year. The add more zest waffle was 4 small canvases done a section a day. Then I did Santa in Chimney in 25 sections starting on the 1st of December. I treated december like a smashinthespecials month in order to finish out my bingo cards. I need to do my year of completions slideshow later today. I’ll post that to Instagram before the year ends. So far I have 167 completions. 85 of those were partials. So I’m at 82 full drill completions. Yikes! That explains the condition of my hands nowadays….
Hubby is almost giddy some days with how happy he is to be back. I'm just trying to remind myself that planes/flights exist, so I can fly back when I need to, lol. 167 completions for the year - wow! That's a lot of diamond painting!
I bet it’s beautiful with the snow there! The snow has been a bit weird here - 10 min south of us will get lots more than here in one snowstorm, and then it will be the other way round with the next one. But it's all pretty!! Thanks for watching!!
@DiamondPaintingAnonymous I have( or had) and old photo where the snow was up to the second floor of my Grandma's parents farm. Yes there was a door to go outside.
The weather here lately has been mild for Kansas. We did have fog on Christmas Day, and the next day also. The wind has also been calm. We will have to wait to see if we receive snow in 2025. Sending hugs from Kansas. 🌻 💎
I was surprised to find out Pizza Hut was international. I visit my family in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil once or twice a year, and there is a Pizza Hut next to Copacabana beach that has VALET PARKING lol 😂 Faaaaaancy!
You can do it!!! 💪🏻 The only revolutionnairy tool I got recently is the DAC Multiplacers! The very low profile of them and it's easier to put them straight for me! I wish I can finish my current one before the 31st too! I'm doing the event WinterwithDAC and I want to be able to got the big price! 😅 But I sill have work to do!
Newbie here. I'm still confused about the different tips. I understand about single versus multi tips. But the various metal tips, etc. I've watched your videos about loading the tips but am still confused a bit. I guess practice on my part will help to answer those questions. Thank you!
Its going to get to be about 60 degrees here in VA. Its been real cold and now we have tornado warnings possible for this afternoon. We supposed to have lots of wind and thunderstorms. Its so odd for December. But the weather has been really strange for a while now so I guess I shouldnt be surprised. I havent made any goals for 2025 because I diamond paint and cross stitch almost everyday. I probably need to considering the amounts of wips I have for both. LOL! Great video!
Hi Daphne. I am new to your channel and you mentioned that you just moved to Canada. I live in Alberta so I'm a fellow Canadian. If you are comfortable telling me, what province are you in?
Rebecca of Add More Zest did a tips & tricks series a couple of years ago. She wanted to get to 100 & she had probably got to about halfway i think. She will have a playlist if you want to go have a look. They were a series of just short videos so worth a look at what she did. They are under resources/videos in her Add More Zest "shop" rather than her you tube channel.
I remember seeing some of those - I don’t know how many I have, but I don’t know if some of them would warrant a whole video. I should go count them! Thanks for watching!!
Hey 🎀 once, while driving to my friend's house, we met a moose that ran onto the road, we were driving at night and it was a terrifying experience. the moose was huge and did not want to leave the road, the car from the opposite side was also shocked, but we waited until the moose crossed itself to the other side, because from what I heard, you shouldn't honk at them or shine your lights on them, because you can scare them into moving towards us and create danger. They are beautiful and majestic, but on a poorly lit road in the middle of the forest, a huge moose jumping onto the road is terrifying. I didn't know they were so big. Moving is a difficult and emotional experience, I know from myself that when I moved from a block of flats to a private house, I was not happy because there is a busy road, next to a church, a refinery and non-stop noise and stench, and in the block of flats, despite the neighbors, it was quiet and close to everything, but let's just say that I got used to the noise and surroundings. Thank you for this wip and chat! 🧡
Ur project is coming together nicely. Here in Quebec cwere having freezing rain 😳, smog, and Fog. It must very beautiful seeing the waves roll in. On the (West Island) , Montreal, Tim's H has Christmas Eve, Christmas day hours and New years Eve and New Years day hours, so employees get to enjoy holiday also. Have a HEALTHY, 😊HAPPY , NEW YEAR 🎉🥂🍾🥂🎉 Looking forward to ur WIP's next year

Hi Daphne. Nice wip and chat. I wish I could get my drills as straight as you. Yours are so neat and tidy. TFS 😊😊
They seem much straighter on camera than they do in real life, I think. I have to remind myself not to fuss with them too much. Thanks for watching!!

My cousin Marilyn said for the first time in years Nova Scotia is having snow.

@@margiegreiss5468 Thanks for watching!!

My nephew was disappointed there was no snow, so we'll see if there is any in Jan or Feb. Thanks for watching!!
That one is coming together quickly!
Tim Hortons closed 2 days in a row? In Ontario they are only closed Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
I think they were open on Boxing Day, but they would have had to pay the fine if they were. Thanks for watching!!
@ yeah, we don’t have that fine here.
In Quebec they close on the 25 and 1st and they close early on the 24, 26 and 31. 😊

I would love to watch an 'intermediate' tip video!
I'm not sure what I would include - what topics would you be interested in?
I watched how you placed and adjusted square drills on this video. Helpful! Happy New Year (almost)!🎉
Happy New Year! I try not to fuss too much with my drills - that way lies madness!! Thanks for watching!!
You can do it!!! 💪🏻

@@bethgaither1214 The multiplacers come in many different sizes, and are numbered based on how many drills they hold.
I wish i was as fast as you.
We all work at different speeds and in different ways. As long as you are enjoying the process, that’s what matters. Thanks for watching!!
@DiamondPaintingAnonymous I very much enjoy it. Thank you for the reply
