I ordered a tray from Bijou Bliss!

[@obriencustomturning]

Thank you for the shout out!

[@TheCasey0811]

That’s for showing your favs! I really enjoyed this video. Bijou Bliss Designs are my favorite trays! I love that they stack on top of each other bc of the magnet, and I find the lid on the bottom helpful and don’t have problems with it slipping. Glad to see you like the ms creations by Dani I bc I’m waiting on mine in the mail now! Great video!

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I hope you liked your pen from Dani!

[@scrappingsylvia]

Hi Laura! Merry Christmas. Great video my friend🥰🥰

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thank you Sylvia! I hope you had a great holiday!

[@nancysmith3151]

Really enjoyed this video Laura. Of course my favourite accessories are your pens! Great collection of things and I am now motivated to take some time to organize all my bits and pieces. A small shop for trays that I would recommend is "Yellow Dog Designs" which is a Canadian Etsy shop but I think you will find that it has all the things you like in a tray (higher sides, a great spout and stopper setup and gridlines that line the drills up really well. Thanks for sharing!

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thanks Nancy! I will definitely check out the small shop!

[@alicegonyar8631]

Had an issue with cat proof also! Will not purchase from them again! Customer service is everything!

[@graylagran7443]

I so need a dots dispenser

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

A game changer for sure!

[@kathy-2756]

Great showcase of your "bests of 2023" accessories - I found some small shops that I've never bought from before. I enjoyed this very much. 😊💖💚

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thank you Kathy!

[@sherrysterner5276]

I really enjoyed your video. I appreciate other people's opinions. An Etsy shop I purchase some of my putty from is Patsy's Putty. She posts once a month and her putty is great. She has great smells, cute shapes and great putty. I really enjoy your videos.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thank you Sherry! I don't know if I've heard of that shop, I will check it out!

[@desireekunitzer5163]

I enjoyed this video. I really want to try an Oraloa painting in the coming year. I seen some that I liked a lot but didn’t purchase.

[@onlybeingchris]

Hi Laura, hope you are having a great week so far. I loved watching this video, the cat proof trays are cool looking and so are the pens! I love Bre's putty and Day at the Beach was my fav as well. Smells so good! I definitely am going to break a no buy with all these awesome items! Thanks for sharing all the support for small shops and companies you like, it really opens the door for new purchases. Take care!

[@ChristyBigelow]

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. Feeling a little envious of your collections. The pens are beautiful. I have a polymer clay pen. It's my go to most of the time. Especially working on the paint gem mini's. I just finished a 60 x 80 square from Dreamer Designs and I ran out of 3 different colors let's just say it was a mess. I haven't tried their rounds so I will that a go. Thanks again 😊

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Darn, three colors? That's frustrating. I would definitely recommend trying their rounds if you're willing to give them another shot.

[@JoyOfStayingIn]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you! What do you use to store your special drills? I like it.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thank you! I use this binder system for Amazon: a.co/d/cpurYq9

[@susanmascarenas1196]

🎉😊congrats, on 2000, love ur special drill storage where did you get them please😊 I'm one of those people u mentioned so much so that I usually don't even comment in lives, whips etc cuz I don't even know how yo change my name😢another reason I'm usually in the sidelines😊❤

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Hi Susan! Thank you! Here is the link to the binders I use for my special drills amzn.to/4b2XVfx

[@hartanna]

I can't remember if you did a kit from munimade but I think my favorite kit of the year was Alma the cosmic witch! The rendering was impeccable and it was so much fun to do. For a new company her squares were great(she is getting a new manufacturer next year that's supposed to be even better). I think my new favorite tray is from yellow dog designs(wish the walls were a little taller but it lines up so well). And my favorite pen is from enablers outpost(love that they list the exact sizes on all of their pens). I'm still on the hunt for the perfect putty but I'm thinking of placing an order for alien putty next. I like jade's sticky tack but need to practice with it more to get it to lay evenly in my multiplacer(but it lasts soooo long). Ok I think that's it for my year end favorites! I love all of these kinds of videos too and appreciate you sharing your favorite things!

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I have not completed a kit from Munimade yet, but she's on my list of shops to try in 2024. Someone else commented about Yellow Dog Designs so now that you mentioned them I definitely need to check them out!

[@sherrysterner5276]

Laura, Where did you get your container to hold your Micro dots?

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Hi Sherry! The shop is Wilson3DDesigns on Etsy.

[@tracymikic2935]

Hi Laura, I'm not really tech savvy unfortunately. Have I missed the links for the shops on here somewhere? 😢

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Hi Tracy! If you look under the video you will see the description box. You might have to click more to open the box and see all the links.

[@marcellareese8853]

Do the binders come with the special drills? If not, where did you buy them? Thanks.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

They do not. I organizes my special drills into the binders. The binder sets are from Amazon and I purchase the drills from a few different shops, DP with Sparklers, Diamond Painting Drills, Diamond Drills USA and some are from Amazon .

[@gingerpancake6247]

What is the name of the booklet from Diamond Painting with Sparklers? Thank you for your video!

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Do you mean the binder that I have them stored in? If so here's the link: a.co/d/7OxtR41 If I'm mistaken let me know!

[@BusyLizzie.]

Are you able to post a link to the tiered stamp storage please? I've tried looking and can't find it. I'm in the UK so if it's available on Amazon, that'd be perfect please.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Hi Lizzie! The stamp storage is at Joann here in the states. I wasn't able to find a similar one on Amazon. But I do know that an acrylic nail polish stand would work the same. Here's one just so you can get an idea, I'm sure you can find a better price if you do a little scrolling a.co/d/05FUreA

[@denisehudson4723]

Hi Laura thanks for the video love your assceries. Thanks for sharing. Just a question about the putty does it dry up?

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I haven't had any issues with putty drying up.

[@denisehudson4723]

@@diamondpaintingsbylaura thank you just curious.

[@michelehunter8381]

Thanks for the great video. What is the organizer that you store your special drills in? Can you share a link for that?

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thanks Michele! Here's the link for the binders a.co/d/279V5t4

[@SplashofDiamonds]

Her shop still open? The site doesn’t open just wondering thank you, with BRE’s

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

She’s not open right now and I’m not sure if she’ll be back 🥺

[@SplashofDiamonds]

@@diamondpaintingsbylaura thank you very much.

[@jleelee71]

What’s link for your how to load microdots please . I couldn’t find 😜

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I don't believe I have a video on loading micro dots. I use three of the micro dots, squish them together, and load them into my single placer. That's definitely something I could do a video on if it would be helpful

[@jleelee71]

Please do , I struggle ! Then they want to either not release the drill or it comes out with drill

[@rorilee9791]

Did Pitty go out of business? Link is broken. Thank you.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I think she may have closed down temporarily, I'll have to ask Bre if it's a permanent closure.

[@dbkayw]

I'm new to your channel and have really enjoyed the info you share. My only critique is that you have a habit of going off bottom of screen during your demonstration/sharing. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thank you for watching! That is something I'm working on in 2024 🤗
