Hello lovely people Courtney lies here with diamonds our girls best friend and today we are working on Satur for our Whip and [Laughter] Chat all right I’m so excited to do this part with you I totally waited for you guys to be able to do this on a whiping chat because it’s the part where her hands are holding the magic stars and it’s just so cute so I’m going to speed
Everything up quite a bit um it’s going to be two times the amount or speed um so that oh hold on really fast I am doing voice over I found this at the thrift store how cool is that I’m holding the sticker on the back with magnets because the whole thing is metal
And I found it for what like 25 cents at the thrift store anyway so cool so I wanted to save this for you guys because I was like okay this has to be on our whooping chat and it is doing uh twice as quickly because it took me about an hour
And a half to do this and I didn’t want you guys to have to sit for an hour and a half and I didn’t have that much talk about I mean I kind of do but not for an hour and a half um but we have some fun
Things so this is the tray I’m using it is a b art Den Nicole that I got from like a d stach on marari so that’s I love this it’s all I use now and I’m actually working on Satora during my voiceover too so double work of Satora
This is the putty I use it’s Diamond Art Studio UK putty and it is by far my favorite I use it for my single Placer and my multiplayers although sometimes I’ll still use Diamond dots for my multi or single Placer just kind of depending on whatever I have on
Hand but yeah you can see it’s been lasting me a long time I think what I’m going to do is not get new putty until I’m almost out of the putty from before uh just cuz I I want to do it that way because I don’t want them to lose their
Scent in the meantime so um yeah this is the pen I’m using many of you probably know my husband hand turned this on wood La both of these actually and I put my single play Placer on one with my eight Placer on the other which actually I’ve gotten
Really good at I actually really like my eight Placer now and I’ve been multipling a lot more than I used to and then uh this other one has my four Placer on it and it just seems to work really well to have these three going at
The same time um so yeah let’s uh get things out for this and I’ll get started on how was your guys’ weekend I’d love to hear about what you guys did for president’s weekend down below um we had a great time my my son maybe you would have seen from my actually it’s
Posting it would have posted two days ago but my son was actually sick right before the weekend with a fever and he slept from let’s see he woke up at 8:30 went to bed at again at 9:30 and this is in the morning mind you slept until 3:00 in
The afternoon woke up and was just kind of Grouchy and then uh um and he had a fever this whole time and then went back to sleep at 9:30 or 8:30 so bedtime normally and we’re like holy cow but he must have slept it off cuz he was he’s doing great
Now so um over the weekend we ended up still being able to go we kept them home from church just in case because there’s a lot of elderly we don’t want to get sick and then um the next day which was Monday which was um President’s Day we
Thought we go head into cordelane and do something fun and do something different than what we’ve been doing so our first thing we wanted to do was to go ice skating but it just turned out like it wasn’t open and stuff like that which is
No big deal so we decided on the next best thing which is rollerblading which actually my daughter ended up saying she liked better of course we did roller skating because it has the fourwh wheels on it which I actually find harder than rollerblading cuz I’m like oh I got this
And I sit like put on my roller skates and Wham right on my butt like I granted the bench that I was on was right behind me so luckily I kind of like landed on my butt on that like not right on the ground but it was kind of a shock cuz I
Was like Oh I thought I was good at this so apparently between that and dodgeball I’m losing all my skills not as good at things as I used to be my kids are here so you might hear them in the background keep quiet though okay guys
Anyway it’s it’s uh it was pretty fun but it was fun huh guys was it a lot of fun yeah they had a lot of fun Oakley got hurt pretty soon to or pretty early on and was just kind of sad but then hit my butt on the wheel you did hit your
Butt on the wheel the roller skate it hurts but I just proud of both of them because they were both Troopers and got up and kept going and they just learned and they were like doing really well by the end and even Oakley was in the
Little um skating Race by the end and oh I have the cutest video of him but so I’m sorry I won’t share it on here just having their faces and stuff on somewhere so public that anybody could see not any of you guys obviously I
Don’t care but you know how just this is not a private video anybody could have access to it but it was pretty adorable he had the most concentrated look on his face and oh gosh it was so cute and I’m keeping that video forever so that’s
What we did over the weekend um we did skiing on Friday Ser was the last that was the last what I went on the last can’t hear you you went on the last what I was the last person at the race the last person at the race that’s okay
That’s okay because a lot of those kids seem to have gone a lot and this was your first time and just the fact that you went around the whole rink without falling once during that race is I think pretty amazing um let’s see yeah so Friday we did Oakley ski class so um
That was a lot of fun it was beautiful and sunny guys it is so gray out here in the winters I’m having a hard time with it but that day was just absolutely beautiful and sunny and we were able to go out hey Kitty that o Bud um sorry I
Might need to pause this and wait till kids aren’t in the room uh but yeah it was a lot of it was so nice to get some vitamin D and just kind of stand out there problem was it was Friday that um my baby was starting to feel sick so he
Was really crabby while we were up there so we couldn’t stay outside for very long we ended up going into the playroom which obviously if I knew he was like sick I wouldn’t have taken him in there but I didn’t know until it was that
Night that he was getting a fever and um that’s actually the same night that I was filming my paint gem mystery kit unboxing and that’s when he woke up and was really crabby and I had to kind of Rush the end of the video and then
That’s kind of when I realized that oh no he might be sick so it’s kind of a bummer but um we got to be out in the sunshine for a little bit and uh Oakley got to be out there the whole time skiing so I’m glad he got to um he’s
Gotten really good he he can go down the main uh it’s the it’s not the yeah it’s Midway not Midway not yet bud um I know but not by yourself yeah cuz that that one goes up a lot higher in the mountain but the is it the Bunny Hill Bunny Hill
It’s not the Bunny Hill I Bunny Hill it’s the Bunny Hill there’s the Magic Carpet One which is what he started on which has you know the Magic Carpet to go no it’s not well the magic carpet is on the well the Magic Carpet that brings
You up to there is not called The Magic Carpet oh so the hill is not called The Magic Carpet it’s just the Magic Carpet that brings you up there yeah it just there there is a place in the Bunny Hill that is called um bunny okay well whatever whatever
It’s called sweetheart thank you whatever it’s called it’s um it’s just the next it’s just the next easiest Hill right and Forest yeah the Enchanted Forest so it’s not called Enchanted the whole yeah not called Enchanted Forest anyway doesn’t matter what the Hill’s called but it’s the next easiest one and I
Was he was able to go on it by himself and that was pretty cool because he can take the lift by himself now and it’s it’s pretty awesome it still stresses me out about the lift because I mean one wrong move and you could just fall but
But there’s a lot of precautions and he’s not allowed to get on the lift without going with somebody so he has to like pair himself up with some sort of grown-up and go on the lift so um which is also kind of scary to me I just I
Don’t know but you know you have to let them be independent at some point I’m like right there so and there’s so many people right there I just told him he has to stay not go on any weird directions stay on the same Hill and he listens and does
A great job with it so but a funny story about that the week before cuz it’s been two weeks since we’ve had a whiping chat because of the giveaway speaking of if you’re listening to this and have not seen my giveaway video I’m giving away a paint gem floral Edition kit for
Free um on our and on my channel you’ll just go on and I I’ll link it down below so you can see that and it’s still open until two days from when I am posting this video so Friday the 23rd I believe it is what it is um is
When the Clos date is and then I’ll be announcing in a video the winner on Monday and that would be 206 27th I forget the exact date but the following Monday so keep a lookout for that but anyway back to the story about um cuz that’s why it’s been two weeks
Since I’ve done o up and chat rather than every week although I’m thinking I might just do every like twice a month rather than or every other week rather than um every week mostly because there’s a lot more fun interesting things that goes on in my life after two weeks
Rather than one week and things to talk about and uh not that I love chatting with you guys but I feel like like right now I’m like oh I have a lot of actually really fun things to talk about and after it’s been only like one week
I’m like oo what do I talk about like I only have half as much so I think I’m going to start doing that but let me know what you guys think I can keep going weekly um but if you are good with twice weekly um that might actually just be
Easier and more interesting so the fun and interesting story that we had um was that was so embarrassing actually incredibly embarrassing so last so not this last Friday but the Friday before that my son when he was going he was right after his lessons and
I went to go pick him up from his lessons his ski lessons and he was like Mom I lost my ski pole cuz he only came up with one ski pole and we rent him so we’re like oh shoot we got to give that back so we can give it back to the
Rentals and um I didn’t realize you can go in there and tell them where they lost it and they’ll go find it for you anyway so he said it was by the parking lot and I was like well which parking lot and he pointed down the hill
That now he can do himself but at the time I was like he can’t do that himself yet and so I was like well I’ll just run down that that first part with you till we get to the parking lot and uh he’s he’s skiing and I’m like super impressed
By his skiing this is maybe the fourth lesson at the time and I was like dude I think you ski better than I do at this point and not that I’m like a great skier or snowboarder but but I just didn’t start as a kid and I feel like
That makes a huge difference but anyway so here I am I have no skis so I’m running down the side of the mountain with all these skiers going by which the first parking lot is like right there past the main building so I’m I’m not worried about it I just it’s not that
Big of a deal until I realize that it’s not at that parking lot and so he kept saying no it’s down this way no it’s down this way so I’m like well I’m already this far I might as well keep going for a little while anyway then we start going off on these
Like Pathways but part of it’s kind of like on a walkway where people could walk but you’re really not supposed to be on there without skis in fact it’s like really against the rules and the further we go in I’m like I’m In Too Deep now I’m already almost like I’m so far
Down I don’t know how far down this Li this hill goes because I haven’t actually skied on this mountain yet and so he he like keeps don’t do that BD okay he keeps going and at at some point I kind of he gets far enough ahead of me
That I’m like oh okay this is we’re getting on to the busy part I can’t come after you like I can’t cross this whole skiway where people are going down without my skis and now there’s like lift people at the bottom and at this point we’re already down almost to the
Bottom of the lift and finally I catch up with it I’m like dude we can’t I can’t go this far okay but before that so many people were passing me on their skis being like hey can we help you hey what’s going on I’m like please don’t talk to me I’m already
Embarrassed you know that when like you they’re just being friendly so I wasn’t at all like not actually like annoyed at them or anything like that cuz they were just being sweet and friendly trying to make sure everything was okay but I was like please don’t draw attention to me
So embarrassed already I’m like running down I’ve got my snow clothes on but I’m just like huffing it down the hill like this really Steep Hill running trying to catch up with my son because I I don’t know if he can go up the lift yet by
Himself and I can’t catch up with him to ask him if he’s good or I know I’ve like I’ve never done the lift with him I don’t know how he acts on the lift and I’m like well I can’t let him go now because now he has to take the lift up
Instead of walking up with a skis and there’s no way for me to tell him to stop so I’m like just running down the ski hill in my snowshoes and watching people ski past me giving me weird looks and oh it’s so embarrassing so finally he points to where the ski pole
Is and so we’re up a little bit on a bridge that goes over the river part and at the bottom of the river it’s so hard to explain I wish I would have taken a picture and I could just show you but there’s this there’s one of those um towers that holds the
Lifts up so we’re right underneath the lift and right down at the bottom past the bridge which I don’t want to go across because it’s skiers only it’s a bridge and skiers are zooming past I’m like I but there’s no other way to get down there except to cross the river and
Then I look down and Oak’s like that’s where it is and there sure enough is this Pole right down near the bottom of the river or by the rivered kind of on the big like hill part that holds the where the ski lift Tower is and I
Was like I can’t even reach that like I can’t even get down there and so I’m like this whole thing was mute point because I have no I have no way of getting the ski pole so I was like no you can’t let’s go no I couldn’t have
Gotten the pole butd no you go to the um parking lot you go down that yeah I guess if I had gone down to the parking lot itself but I couldn’t get to the parking lot easily anyway it’s hard to explain what it’s without seeing the visuals but yeah I couldn’t I couldn’t
Have got it so then we uh so finally I’m like get to the edge of the bridge and then like sneak as fast as I can as close to the edge as I can and kind of like hope to not be seen by the ski people down there but of course I have
To get the ski lift up now too because other than that it’s a long walk up which they don’t want me going up so anyway the ski lift guy comes and he’s like hey you’re not supposed to be on here with skis I was like yeah I know
I’m sorry and I tried to explain it to him as best as I could that I was like I just I didn’t anyway everything I already explained to you and so he was really nice about it he’s like yeah just get on the ski lift and I’ll let them
Know to go slower when you get to the top so you don’t fall cuz when you you know when you I don’t know if anyone’s ever gone skiing before but uh when you get off the lift when you get to the top you slide down on your skis or snowboard
Like that’s how you get off so for me you know they give you a little bit of momentum to get going so they had to slow the lift for me when we got to the top so I could hop off rather than slide down uh luckily I I kept my dignity and
Did not fall but I was a little worried about that part but so we ended up not being able to get the ski pole and they told us just to tell the ski or the rental people that it’s there so that they could just get it later with the
Ski patrol and I was like dang it I wish I would have asked that to begin with but to be fair I thought it was just right there past the first parking lot and then it just kind of no pun intended snowball from there and anyway that was
Our ski story and I was so embarrassed and I was like crap nobody like we were starting to get to know a lot of the people up there because they a lot of them have their kids in the ski same ski school so I was like and a lot of them
Ski with their kids um get passes and stuff and we didn’t do that this year because we have a baby so maybe next year but it’s it’s funny because I’m like how many people saw me going down running down the list and they like there’s what’s she doing why doesn’t she
Have skis on so my daughter wanted to say something about it when I was rollerblading um and I I got better at it um even though I wasn’t good at it um when I first started it I know no you were so good you guys both both got so
Good I love that about kids broke my arm almost broke your arm oh no anyway I love how kids you know they’re still thinking back on the rollerblading anyway so that was our fun um ski Adventure but another thing that we did this weekend was they had well they
Actually had had fireworks up at the scheme and on Sunday which we were going to go do and maybe with some friends but uh since reys got sick we obviously didn’t do that so um I mean even though at that point he was feeling a lot
Better it just we didn’t we didn’t even we were exhausted at that point with being up late with a baby anyway but um on Friday night this last Friday so not the same one where I ran down the hill um but this last Friday after ski
Lessons uh we found out there was this what they were calling the light festival downtown where we live and they it was so much fun I’m actually going to put in here a video of what we saw I mean it was just kind of this tiny
Parade with some lights on some uh some fire trucks and other trucks and kind of businesses it is just like a little mini parade I think it was for the winter solstice um no it couldn’t have been winter s s is what anyway whatever winter festival or something like that
But one of the really cool things because I don’t know if you guys know this I’m huge on crochet and knitting like that is my love like my grandma is who taught me and she was just so proud of how much I learned with knitting and crocheting
And she’s passed now so it just anytime I knit or crochet I think of her and I do tons of stuff I I really it’s something I absolutely love anyway so one of the things that they had on their parade was the longest hat ever made at
First it thought it was a scarf but it’s an actual hat and the cool thing about it I need to figure out how you can go add to it with your own you just go take yarn of your own and go add to the hat
And I’m like holy crap that would be so cool so that’s all my plan of things to do um I’ll show that to you right here actually cuz it’s a lot of fun long scarf that’s a really long scarf mom I think it’s a hat maybe scarf the world’s longest
Scarf so I think it’s got the it has the uh world’s longest Sky yeah it’s a hat it’s a hat world’s longest I guess it could go on a big hug monster how long does it go for it’s still clear back there Wow you’re still going holy cow guys you are seeing the world’s longest hat they keep looking at it they the whole video of it there are you guys you could should put that on oh my gosh I wonder how many people are in this 300 million people
300 I already count 1 million 1 million people million Thousand you should end it when it’s all done that’s the end that’s the end oh my gosh I love it I love how they um we thought it was a scarf and we stood corrected it’s not a scarf my favorite part they like oh not a scarf
Sorry and uh anyway I left that whole clip in there for you to get the scope of how big that thing was how long that thing was and we didn’t even get the beginning of it uh in the video so we’re just kind of like oh cool longest scarf
Longest hat whoa still going oh my gosh still going we’re really cold it’s still going it was actually it was super cool I absolutely loved that I Love yarn anything I I do igari I just can’t say it right amigami amigi um which is you know the crocheted little animals
Stuffed animals stuffed anything and uh hats scarves okay the only thing I haven’t done is a sweater I I just I haven’t but I’ve done like all sorts of other things um I used to make little lovey blankets and sell them and anyway so that was really dear to my heart and
I thought of my grandma the whole time she would have loved that I almost said anyway yeah she would have she would have loved it so I’m I’m hoping she was there in spirit would have absolutely loved something like that so that’s what we did over the weekend and then we went
And ate at a restaurant it was a Mexican restaurant was delicious um at this point Reese was already he was pretty crabby though so it was kind of like a eat and get out sort of thing which cuz you know like at that point he was had
Been starting to show signs of of maybe being sick and so we ended up going home and then just relaxed most of the rest of the weekend he was better by Monday so then we went out and did rollerblading so it was a lot a really
Fun weekend fun fun things to talk about and then um let’s see what else I guess uh the last weekend was so before this last weekend was my daughter’s birthday and that was a ton of fun let’s see we uh we went swimming in the morning at
The Y and uh that was fun it was really cold though huh kids so you didn’t last long in there and the kids aren’t allowed in the hot tub so we didn’t last very long and then after that we went to grab something really fast to eat and
Actually no we had to run quickly to oh we got we got popcorn chicken from Walmart huh but that’s zenia’s dream that’s that’s zenia’s dream day she loves popcorn chicken from Walmart and then we went to the theater and watched the new Wonka movie which was really
Good I mean it was definitely for kids but it kind of also spoke to the kid inside of you you know the one that just watches you know we all we all grew up with Willie Wonka the Chocolate Factory and you know the book to R doll which
Gosh if you haven’t read the book so good um but R doll is a particular flavor you must be accustomed to you have to it’s a it’s a what is that what is that called a an accustom flavor no that’s not it an acquired taste that’s where I was going
With but uh absolutely love R doll we’ve read a lot as a family we’ve read James and the Giant Peach and um Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Matilda we’ve read I want to say The BFG anyway we need to read more of them but we’ve read quite a
Few so the other thing uh oh my gosh but hold on that that movie made me want chocolate so bad I mean I’m already a chocolate addict as many of you might already know from previous Whi and chats but that was like after I was like I must have chocolate
Now and I totally went and got chocolate after and then uh we went came home and we made zenia’s birthday cake and she wanted to make it from scratch so that’s what we ended up doing and they decorated it I would put a picture but I don’t have
One um I I do have one but not with with my kids not in it so so it was so cute because we’d made the we’ made it and then the other thing she wanted to do for her day besides going out to watch a movie was then watch a movie at home
She’s really into movie nights and what what better way to spend your birthday if you’re into movie Nights than two movies in a day so that was a lot of fun we ended up watching oh I don’t even remember we watched something and but what was funny
About it was we put the birthday cake on the table it was s too sing too that’s what we watched was sing too that’s right and then um anyway we’re sitting there doing sing tun and then you know there’s trouble with kids especially toddlers which I
Keep saying my baby but he really is a toddler now that makes me so sad but when it’s quiet and then when it gets quiet you get suspicious it got really quiet besides like the movie and stuff we’re like where’s reys and then so we all get like at the
Same time being like where’s Reese cuz you know we’re all worried about it we’re like shoot we weren’t even watching him and then uh but he’s just right there in the kitchen and he is right on top of the table chomping on the birthday cake and now her birthday
Cake actually luckily was in the fridge at this point and my son had decorated another little pancake size birthday cake because you know you I had made a layered cake so you cut off the tops and everything when you layer them and he had done that and we had left over cake
B that we turned into cupcakes so it was like a mixture of cupcakes and um the leftover cake anyway he decorated it into his own little cake and that was that’s what was still on the table and apparently re knows how to climb that’s how we that’s how we learned that rece
Learned how to climb the table like onto the chairs and onto the table he’s just sitting there on the table fist fulls of birthday cake stuffing his face we got a lot of pictures and videos of it because it was adorable and then we’re like no don’t do that but we’re
All smiling so he of course doesn’t take that seriously and kept trying to climb the table and got oh man when we took the cake out of his hands hug kids he absolutely lost it he was so mad he just cried for like a long time after that
Because and we’re like we should give him more and we’re like no I think he’s had plenty at this point and it was pretty funny it was man that was hilarious one of the one of my favorite new memories he thought it oh yeah the kids I don’t
Know if you guys have heard that song sorry they’re still here in the background they keep chiming in oh no that’s Reese I might have to pause this and and keep going in a little bit but anyway I don’t know if you guys have heard that song the birthday song it’s
Like the it’s a birthday today it’s a birthday today there’s a cat looking your a birthday cake it’s your birthday today so we were making a joke of it and saying it’s a birthday today it’s a birthday today there’s a baby eating your birthday it’s your birthday today hi buddy he just woke
Up hi you can not tell so what is the next part we remember we gave um um little um Z’s umce and we gave the cream the cat there’s a cat liing your birthday we do have an actual cat and we gave him a little bit of the birthday cake
Yeah he cannot read so he does not know that the cake is not for him no if you haven’t watched that you have to go watch it my kids are so obsessed every time it’s their birthday now they play that song on repeat on their Google over
And over again all day long and so it very much gets stuck in our heads okay the chaos that ensued there was too much to handle so I had to pause and do this later so this is later on um because they it just is too hard to do
That with kids they Oakley especially wants to be in and like he’s like whispering things in my ears of what to say and I’m like you got to leave me alone or I can’t concentrate anyway yeah but anyway that’s what’s been up we’ve been up to in our lives
Um newer things uh regarding my channel I have a really fun so if this is your first time here go ahead and like And subscribe and hit that notification Bell I’d love to have you guys each person that new person that comes on and comments and talks to me I’m like
Getting to know you guys and I love it there’s there’s a few of you that comment regularly and I love it please don’t ever stop it’s so much fun and honestly moving to you know I don’t many of you might not know that we just moved
Here over the summer and I went from Suburban living close to really close friends we’ve lived there for eight years to moving out here and everybody’s so nice and inviting and kind and but we’re further away from everybody that I’ve gotten to know out here mostly through church and then a little through
Like the community but everyone’s definitely further away and and it’s it’s been rough I I to say the least I’ve been pretty lonely just to be honest I I’ve felt very lonely and had some dark days especially because it’s literally been dark outside with being so um gray
And I don’t do Winters well to begin with because I’m an outside person and especially since I’ve had kids I I mean not the kids fault at all but just specifically in the winter we I just don’t go out as much as I used to when I
Was younger even in the winter I’d be outside all the time so yeah I don’t it’s it’s been a little rough and so having you guys be everybody so kind and comment on there and oh my gosh if I’m going to tear up I’m going to pause it
Again H okay I just really appreciate it I appreciate the comments I appreciate the kindness and even reaching out to other uh creators content creators and the people that are in the painting community on Facebook and some of the uh people the owners of some of the diamond painting companies and small
Shops oh man everybody is so incredibly kind and I just I I can’t believe it it’s just amazing I’m going to can because you guys are all really awesome but I I’ve really needed this I feel like connecting with everybody on YouTube and this community has made a
Big difference in my life right now um anyway okay where was going with that was just you know go ahead and hang out and like And subscribe and hit that notification Bell because on Friday I have a really fun video it is to me at least really fun because when I first
Started Diamond painting I was like I need more I’d finished the two I had and I needed more and I didn’t want to wait for some to come in and of course this was before I found out about legally licensing so I did go and buy like a ton
It’s hard to not buy everything you want especially when they’re really cheap on um AliExpress and timu and Shen and Amazon so I was like oh I need to get all the diamond paintings and so I bought a bunch of those but in the
Meantime I was like I was like I was an addict like I was like I have to go get something now though before all this stuff comes in um I didn’t even actually at that time didn’t even realize they sold on Amazon and just went to all these other
Places and of course it takes a while for them to ship so I went to the Walmart here the the place we’re in does not have a craft store really so I was like Walmart Walmart’s the way to go and I scoured the place for Diamond PL
Paintings and I was like no it’s nowhere and I knew they had them online but I was like I just want something right now and it just it didn’t work out so I ended up having to wait for things to come in but um I was at
Walmart is last week now because it takes a while to film videos and stuff and get them up so it was last week last Wednesday and I always go through the craft section because I I swear I like can’t leave Walmart without looking even though like most of the time I don’t get
Something there although I did get glitter glue this time and five Diamond paintings because I saw that as I was passing another like the office area kind of in a whole different place from the craft area there was kind of where the cricket stuff is and then almost to
Where the gift area is it’s really strange spot that they put it I just my heart skipped a be seriously that’s how I was like what as I saw you know that typical box long elongated shape of a diamond painting I was like no no way so
I like book it over there I had my baby with me you’ll see on the video his little feet sticking out from his car seat and the diamond paintings in the top part of the cart but it’s so cute because uh he was like I’d hand it to
Him and I’d be like do you like this one he’d like B like his little noises anyway I ended up buying they were Diamond dots and so you’ll see in the unboxing it is the nice Diamond dots drills even though the rest of the is like a little bit more budget friendly
And so it kind of reflects what you get what you pay for but the you know the most important part the drills they’re the diamond dots drills and as far as I could tell and I’m so excited so I got five of them but they’re only 9.98 each
And I had like a $28 gift card that I’ve had in my wallet forever for Walmart excuse me so um girl math it only costed me like 22 bucks right that’s how that works anyway so that was pretty fun I got those home and
I wanted to unbox them so badly but I I waited until I filmed the video and that’s coming out on Friday so other news um I have a a this is going to be pretty far in the future but I have a different video coming out that’s going to be me I
Mean probably a few months down the line me trying out snack sizes from premium companies because I feel like a lot of people don’t want the big canvases I mean I love but I kind of like a mixture of both having smaller ones too and I want to try out a bunch
Of the different ones from smaller from companies that have the smaller canvases mostly for rendering and also there’s a few places like paint Gem and canvas uh uh diamonds on canvas LLC which is I talked to the owner she is just the sweetest and she’s sending me out a kit
To try out and it’s five um canvases that are mini kits not quite as small as paint jam with the premium res uh resin diamonds on them and um yeah it’s going to be awesome she calls them her Radiance canvases because it’s not squares but it’s got a curved Edge to although these
These winter ones are going to be square she’s just doing some rounds too anyway I’ll talk about it more in my unboxing when I get those but um really excited for those really excited I need to get a a diamond Art Club one and try that out
Out because they have the small kits now too and then I’m going to say anything that’s 40x 40 or smaller even if it’s like a 35 by 45 as long as it’s like you know 30 40 by 40 is what I’m going to count as a snack size
So um yeah that’s I’m really excited for that another one that I’m really excited to do if You’ watched any of my other whing chats I do have my colored pencil bald eagle um painting not a painting drawing that I’ve done and really excited for that I ended up putting it
On my iPad and getting oh what is it called it’s a program called procreate and you can do digital art on there so it’s my actual handdrawn art with colored pencils that I have put on to do like digital art and then I put a background and I made lots in fact
Actually I’m gonna put a poll up on YouTube but I’m going to put it up right here the four different um digital art options that I came up with and I want you guys to tell me which one you think I should turn into Diamond painting I’ll probably send it
Into ever moment to do as a custom get that in and then I’m going to try to do fast motion of me finishing it and and um we’ll see that might not work because of storage but doing a fast motion of me finishing the whole thing and then doing
A post review so I thought that might be cool to do like a whole video of like here’s my here’s how it started out this is what I did to scan it and then I here are my different ones and then we chose this one I want your guys guys’ help
Choosing which one I should do and then um finishing it and doing like a post- review and I’m excited I think that will be fun so that one will be a little later down the line because I need to get the canvas in and work on it and
Everything like that which I’ll do right away but I need to choose which one first so okay right here I’m going to show you the four different ones okay this is the first one I tried it’s a lot more muted in color tone that I was kind
Of originally planning on but this is kind of my art style of my own art style I do so I need to learn how to be more colorful but just at least specifically for Diamond painting anyway um yeah yeah I mean I’m not great at ai ai art I’m
Proud of the colored pencil drawing of the eagle but then when I did the AI art sorry it’s not AI art digital art not AI when I did the digital art I was like oh this is really hard all right this is the second one um it’s a
Lot I don’t know I really like the sky but just mountains were hard like I I do a lot of mountains in my paintings and stuff uh but my acrylic more more as what I do but it was really hard to do mountains on here so yeah this is the
Second one I do really love the hi Kitty I do really love the the sky in this one okay in this one I kind of piggybacked the sky of the last one I was like oh I really like that but let’s make it more vibrant and
Then I this is where I found some of the features in procreate that I was like oh this is cool you can do this and changing the transparency and colors and stuff just to make um make it less neutral colors you know just cuz Diamond painting you want less neutral colors on
A lot of them anyway yeah I like this one a lot but then I realized I’m not sure if I like the way the colors match with the red white and blue cuz I was like this will be perfect to have out and ready for you guys to get if you
Like before Fourth of July so I don’t know we’ll see um I like the fourth option better than this option but I thought I’d show you anyway and then I’m not sure about the fourth option compared to the other two so let’s look at that one all right here’s the fourth
And final one I feel like with this one I really was a continuation of the first one where I added more depth in color and matched it a little more to the red white and blue that I put in the eagle um as kind of like an overlay anyway um
Yeah I thought this one would be fun and vibrant but yeah let me know guys what you’d prefer out of those four what you think is going to look best because I’ll go off based off of what what your opinions are um if I get enough people
That vote on it and comment on it um I will put this up on my as a vote um but I’ll definitely count whatever you say in here and the votes on top of that so to see what which one so I guess you can vote twice if you
Want and so anyway I’d love to make those available for you guys um my happy place Kim at my happy place she and another person I don’t think it’s another Creator on YouTube but I’m not sure anyway they made their own AI art and they have sold
So she just says has it so you can buy her a coffee and a link to buy me a coffee um if you want a JPEG of her art and she’ll send it to you and you can send it in to ever moment or any other custom place that we do customs and
Maybe I’ll shoot up a video to say how to make how to do a custom Diamond painting too and kind of give you guys a how-to about that but um yeah let me know which one you think would be best and definitely choose the one that you’d be interested in doing
Maybe it’s something you’d like to do I think I just set it for maybe like five bucks on um buy me a coffee and then you can just have the rights to that picture to make a diamond painting for yourself obviously I’d ask not to send that to
Other people cuz you know yeah that works but anyway yeah let me know if that’s something you guys would be interested in and and yeah that’s it with the kind of content coming up I mean I have even more ideas but those are the ones that are sented oh wait
Actually not true I went to Thrift Store and I found a bunch of little bits and ends and pieces and little pors some figures and things like that to make my own cover minders because I thought that would be fun so that’s a video I will be filming hopefully tonight actually as
Well as I do have a mystery kit I thought I’d unbox I’m not sure if I want to unbox that right now now or when I actually get started on it but it’s it’s the Cheryl Baker one and I know some people are okay with uh spoilers I
Haven’t seen anyone actually finish a diamond painting mystery from Diamond Art Club and put it on YouTube so I wonder if that’s not allowed so I have to check on that first and everything so all right have to talk about this painting for a a little bit it is I so
Much fun I’m going to be so when it’s done the thing is I can’t find myself any desire any other these beautiful so while I wanted to take my time with this one and I’m like and just so you know I don’t much on this that was for time
Sake because I knew this beautiful paintings and I want to do them that’s also why I want do this one so much more that I’m like I just have to work on this I have to take the joy of it though don’t want it to end um which I’m
Enjoying multipling lot more so I still had a lot of enjoyment in this part and besides it is a lot of color blocking in this a little bit single placing there’s a lot of mul I SP it up because it was like an hour to do Square so I did do multi part
Of me kind of sad that really special part but I still had a lot seriously work on anything else right now so this might be done by the end of this month of this mon very beginning of next month just because the only one I’m working on
Right now so that’s why I I did K up my the one with the diamond art one from it if you didn’t catch it on this last and you on is completely worth it anyway so beautiful there’s hard trash even while I was doing the whole
Square I was like I it’s the one color so like most of my trash to do with the canvas is and everything else there’s hardly any Trash for and this company want so badly to do Satur all the time that I’m like it and then I can get there are Inc the
Mee until then the electro Diamond so much I always leave it to last you’ll see up here anyway right now I’m doing these fairy dust this part has the yellow fairy dust and the whitish yellow fairy dust and the electro diamond and a little bit of the green fairy dust I
Think I showed you that one that green fairy dust is my favorite but anyway it’s beautiful I don’t know if I’ll have it done by this month but with the rate I am working on it I might I don’t want like I said I don’t want it to be done
But it’s the only one I’m wanting to work on so when I Diamond paint I work on this one and uh I think that’ll free up some will and want to do these other beautiful ones that are gorgeous it’s just this is my muse right now and so I
Keep working on this one and I’m like I think I need to finish this one not rush it but finish it before I can work on any other ones as joyfully you know so anyway that’s it with this one um I thought I’d talk a little bit about some Diamond painting
News and I I mean most of you probably heard by this point but Hannah Lynn will no longer be with diamond Art Club which is wild um super sad and I really love her stuff I feel like most of her paintings I’ve always had in my cart and
Then when I narrow it down it just barely misses the cut of which one I end up getting so I have so many of hers in my wish list and then I never actually pull the trigger with it because there’s always something I want just a little bit more testing testing 1 two
