I saw that message and was immediately heartbroken for both their company and their customers. I think small red tape type rules like this really hurt small businesses the most. Because even a single sale of one or two diamond paintings can help make their day or week! I hope that things resolve and get better rather than being more restrictive moving forward. ❤
Thanks to share your experience!!! My stash count goes higher and higher. 🙈 But not with black friday releases, only with back in stock and paintings from the earlier webside. I hoped of a Margaret Morales, but the one from BF didn‘t‘ catched me. I wish you a lot of fun with your purchase!!! 😻😻
Hi Lisette. My win is that my elbow is healing very quickly (I think I told you I broke it around Halloween). I’m coming up on 6 weeks of healing and I’ll be strengthening it soon which will lead to me getting to ski. Soon. 😬⛷️ Also I bought 2 new kits from DAC and the one Spangler where the dragling is skiing on powder (sugar and flour). ❤
I made a very embarrassing mistake with Jade also this weekend!!! (I think mine was worse…🙄) I, also, got overexcited about the sale and one of the kits that I ordered, I had ordered less than a week before. I just forgot in the moment that I had actually bought it already. When I realized what I had done, I emailed her to switch it out for a similarly priced kit which she did and sent me an invoice for the difference. It was so embarrassing, but I appreciated her quick and excellent customer service!
Congrats on getting the ones you wanted! Your “loophole” is totally ok owing to unforeseen circumstances. I had a bit of an OOPSIE 😂 I said I wasn’t getting any and made the mistake of looking on Saturday, when I got a restock alert. I ended up buying 2. Yup, the “limited edition “ FOMO got me. It’s all good though. I now have a system almost in place, kust a little adjusting needed.
Aww thanks for the shout out and linking my channel 😊 I have kitted up Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend and will be trying to work on it slowly throughout the next couple of months. The colors will be so fun to work with! I love your Black Friday choices! I’m excited to see what you ended up getting with TOWTDA
Thats lovely Lisette you got all the paintings you wanted 😊 the one you got for your Eldest Daughter is just so adorable 🥰. Yes i need to try get as many of my old stock done. I fear that more might have that glue and drill,issue 🤔 we spend enough money so we want to try our Best to finish them😊. Where have the months Gone 😮 to think its December already have a good week take care 🥰
I've been hearing people talk about the UA-camr who did a diamond art detox and today you showed up in my suggested videos! I enjoyed this video. I really love the notebook you have all of this in and how you keep track. Very creative.
I love the ones you bought this week and look forward to seeing you work on them. I bought a few on Black Friday but didn’t buy as many that I thought I would. My plan for the rest of this year is to finish 2 of the 4 WIPs that are hanging in my closet and then start working down my stash next year. I love the idea of a stash detox and plan to work my stash down to a more manageable size in 2025. I think I might put the kit names in a box and then pull one whenever I’m ready to start a new one.
I also got sad seeing the notice from Diamond Painting Studio UK . I also saw some small shops stoppning sales to EU. Hoping it will get solved. I have one dp from DPS at least!
Yay nice Black Friday haul. You'll be getting those das-uk kits in a few days, their shipping is fast. I'm happy I was able to keep my purchases to 2 diamond paintings.
Great video as always! I only bought 6. 2 from Jade and 4 from Pam Diamond Painting. The way things are looking for cyber Monday… it looks like I won’t be spending anything so I can count that as a plus! Sorry to hear about that company. I have a feeling there will be a lot of changes going on in 2025 as far as price shifting and not in a good way.
This was my first Black Friday and it was so fun! I purchased 5 which I decided was acceptable since it was my first. I am checking out the cyber Monday releases. I’m ok with my stash for now. I wish I diamond painted more but I don’t want to make it a job either. I’m glad you saw the announcement in time to make your order! I’m excited to see your new tracking in the coming year!
Hi Lisette, glad you got the paintings you wanted for Black Friday. I wouldn’t count the one you bought for your daughter for your stash limit as you will not be working on it. I bought more than I planned, but I couldn’t resist with the 30% off discount at DAC. 🤭
I almost got DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND because the kitty looks like my Foofi. I love, love, love winter! Ever since getting remarried in December, I love winter scenes. I waited too long and missed out on Kurtis's Snow Queen 😔. You got PORCELAIN DRESS, and I almost got PRESSED WINGS until I looked at my gift certificate, and it said DIAMOND PAINTING SHOPPE 😅 CRAZY 🤪 CYBER MONDAY GOT ME BAD. NO BUYING IN 2025; I am set for a year. However, I didn't use the cyber code because I had points for $100 off, and it was cheaper! Yay, me. I love your STASH COUNT system and with all these new paintings I am going to make one of handmade journals to document them. Is that a 0.5 Archival Ink Pen I spy? 😂 of course it is bc I use the same one. 💃 Enjoy all you DPs and keep spreading the JOY. ❤ Congrats 🎉 on catching the email !
I watched the Mrs. Coffee video and thought that Porcelain Dress was gorgeous! Can't wait to see it finished! BTW, just read about favorite pets and found out that Peter the Great's beloved horse was named Lisette!😊
Hoi, ik had gedacht dat je degene met de roze flamingo's zou nemen 😅. Ik heb er 3 gekocht, 2 nieuwe en 1 van release daarvoor van DAC, plus 1 kleine partial vanwege gratis verzenden 😇. Ik had er eerst 2, bewust wat kleinere, totdat ik de rendering zag van breakfast buddies en het als low stock stond aangeven, toen snel gekocht 😊. Dus toch een grotere, maar wel 1 met een totaal andere stijl en kleurenvariatie. De 30% korting motiveerde me het nu te doen, anders (bij restock) stuk duurder. Nu hopen dat er met cyber Monday niks van mijn smaak bij zit 😜😐 (en ben toch bang dat populaire snel uitverkocht zijn). Groetjes weer vanuit NL!! ❤️
I bought twoch during the sales this week... One time with the mystery deals who was like 28%ish for me 😅 And I finally got 2 more few minutes ago who are from the newest from the end of the week. 😅
I am also devastated about the new rules, I was hoping to purchase from Diamond art studio uk in the new year. There were a few small shops i always support and i cant anymore. I really hope the laws change soon 😞
I love watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is so honest and joyful it is contagious. I don't have a win. But not entirely a fail either. FOMO of a different kind. Ihad 6 I could buy, and had picked out the 6 ahead of time that I would buy during Black Friday. But then I got worried about the tariffs that we're probably going to have if our President Elect doesn't get talked out of it. He's promised to enact some of them on day one, and prices on an awful lot of things could still go up-unless someone talks him into limiting it. So I bought 6 more. I don't buy premium, but, as Diamond Grandma puts it, premium budget. I wanted a cushion too much to resist. I did make myself the promise that I won't buy anything until I dip below the original 24 allotted-feeling a bit uncertain about even then. At least I really love all of them. 😊 But thanks for your channel, and I look forward to more of it and a new log book.😍
I love your little laugh, Lisette. It truly brings me joy. Your daughter's kit 100% doesnt count 😂 That's sad news about DPSUK. I'm glad you were able to snag one. See you next month ✌🏻
Wat leuk dat Marie ook wil gaan diamond painten❤ hopelijk is ze er actiever mee bezig zal zijn dan haar zusje 😂! Hou ons maar op de hoogte. En wow wat heb je weer mooie dingen gekocht 😊😊😊
The DP December is so beautiful 🥰 , Porcellan Dress is on my wishlist 😊 I know TOWTDA has some DPs from Cheryl Baker.. perhaps one from them.. or JW? 😇😇😇 I hope the EU does change this rules for smaller shops and they are able to send in the EU again
Don’t you just love the government. 🤬I have only been diamond painting since February. I saved my pennies and was able to buy 2 from DAC. Both on the new drop, I actually wanted 2 others that were older, but they were sold out. I surely hope this rule doesn’t put small shops out of business. Will be watching for your finishes. 😊
Hi Lisette, je ne savais pas du tout pour cette histoire de nouvelles règles d’importation... Quel dommage :( Merci de l'info ♥ belle fin de dimanche 🍫
The government needs to stay the hell out of crafting! 🤬Announcements like this make my head explode 🤯 You absolutely were entitled to Loop Hole those two kits. Had gigantic win-Did not purchase a single thing on Black Friday from DAC (or any company) because I thought the kits were total duds-just more of the same old same old. There was nothing that made me gasp - plus I’m skittish because of the whole pink ink fiasco. That’s great that your girls are diamond painting now!❤
I didn't purchase any of the DAC Black Friday new releases, but I did take advantage of their sale to get a kit from my wishlist and a few accessories like washi tape. Then this morning I bought 2 kits from Dreamer Designs. No wins for me. But my dog died a few days ago from kidney failure which broke my heart, so I felt like a little retail therapy was justified. 🥹
Great video as always! You have some amazing canvases coming to you. So glad you were able to get the kits you wanted!

Hope the shipping gets sorted and less costly...
I got 6 kits from DAC I was good 💜
SO HELPFUL can’t wait for the next episode!!! Let’s go!!!!

Yeah, I think it was Abbie's Putty that posted about it last week. So sad for the small shops that are being effected.
Aww thanks for the shout out and linking my channel 😊

The much awaited video :)
My nov win was reducing my stash by 10.

I was actually very naughty and I bought around 7😬 I couldn’t help myself😂. Great video as always!🥰🥰

I also ordered December from Jaded Gem Shop. It is so beautiful!

Well fomo got me…. 😅 i finished 15 Diamond Paintings and i bought 16 🤣….

I only bought one. Sabrina The Snow Leopard. I did pick up 2 of DAC's drill storage containers and some multiplacers. So I have a total of 9 paintings
I am also devastated about the new rules, I was hoping to purchase from Diamond art studio uk in the new year. There were a few small shops i always support and i cant anymore. I really hope the laws change soon 😞

O_o, oh, thank you Lisette ! now i inderstand what "bogo" means...🤦♀
Wat leuk dat Marie ook wil gaan diamond painten❤ hopelijk is ze er actiever mee bezig zal zijn dan haar zusje 😂! Hou ons maar op de hoogte. En wow wat heb je weer mooie dingen gekocht 😊😊😊
I think what you did was totally reasonable. This is an extenuating circumstance.
I bought 2 for black Friday but I have made a lot of progress on my project that I have been working on for a year
The DP December is so beautiful 🥰 , Porcellan Dress is on my wishlist 😊
I know TOWTDA has some DPs from Cheryl Baker.. perhaps one from them.. or JW? 😇😇😇
I hope the EU does change this rules for smaller shops and they are able to send in the EU again
My stash is WAY out of control, but I bought a LOT fewer kits than I wanted to on Black Friday. 😂
👌🤗♥️
