Kitting down random kits 😂 - diamond painting- happy holidays

[@sharonfeatherstone8219]

I never blindly believe everything. I’ve found thru the recent years that so much is subjective. Glad you are seeing your MD sooner! I am seeing a surgeon soon too.

@@sharonfeatherstone8219 I hope everything goes well with your appointment 💕

Both of my boys did the pine derby races when they were in scouts. Their dad helped them make the cars. It was so much fun!!

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@shirleyziedonis yeah it’s pretty cool the different cars they make. It can be a lot of fun. 😊

We too have the front load laundry pair, but we put the drawer underneath each of them. At the time it was to help my back, but The Hubster also loves them as we can keep every bit of our laundry detergents, fabric softeners, stain removers, as well as all the bits and bobs needed, i.e., brushes, dryer balls, mesh bags, etc. As our laundry machines are open in our back hall to the downstairs door, keeping the area tidy is important to me. I did a set of four springtime/Easter gnomes as the second project I did completed. Question for you: How do you log paintings that have more than one canvas? I logged it as one project with a sub-identifier (2a, 2b, etc.) but was wondering how you logged them. Because we had no postal services, we used Amazon for the majority of our gifts and had them shipped to our son’s house where we were going for the holidays. I wish I had seen this video earlier as I made a hot chocolate bar at our son’s house and could have sent you all the Amazon links for it. That 702 mixture would be a great grass lawn with the different shades. You SO nailed how I feel seeing The Hubster come home from a long day of work and then take care of me. It hurts me inside because I WANT to be helping and I am just not able. Oh heavens, who would order the crane to lift me from the ground if I tried a snow angel? 😜 Getting down is easy - it’s called falling - but getting up is absolutely NOT a graceful moment for me. Picture a hippo on roller skates and you’ll be close! 😂 Try “Georgia on my Mind” for your song title. 😉 You know, I would love to sit there and watch you diamond paint and sort out all those bags of drills you have. My little OCD gremlin shudders and turns her head away every time you show us a fruit salad of colours in a bag! 😜 It would take a hot minute, but wouldn’t it look so nice when it was done? This New Yer’s Eve we will be living like animals……. bears who are hibernating! The Hubster has to be to work at 0700 on New Year’s Day, so it will be our normal time to go to bed. 😣 Would I blindly believe you? For the first few months that I knew you (or anyone) absolutely not. Once I find out that a person is actually trust-worthy, I tend to believe the normal stuff, but something that seems like it’s out of the ordinary I would look it up for sure. I was taught “trust but verify” as a basic mantra of life by my Dad. Because he recognized that I was as naïve as he originally was, he wanted to protect me from being hurt as badly as he had been. I have kept myself safe by following that advice many many times. The other part of his advice was to recognize that when someone is spouting lies and poison to distance myself as far as possible from them as they don’t deserve any of my energy. It sounds harsh, but I literally cut a person who lies out of my life which has brought me SOOOOO much peace in my life. I used to get sucked into drama, but now I have an entirely different approach which I learned from a sign The Hubster’s sister gave me. It reads: “Not my circus, not my monkeys. MY monkeys fly!” I like it. It’s humourous enough for people to giggle at it, but straight forward enough to let them know I WILL turn into a wicked witch if they are not careful. Have a lovely and quiet evening tomorrow night. Hopefully there won’t be anyone setting off fireworks or shooting guns tomorrow night - I’m hoping the same for us as 0445 rolls around sooooo early! 😂😂 (((((Hugz))))) my friend❣️ If I am not speaking with you before Thursday, Happy New Year to you, Honey, Coco, Angel, and all the rest of the fam❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@chrisgreek4285 can you picture us going through all these bags? 😳 😂😂. It would be worth it. I’m hoping for no fireworks too but we’ve had explosions constantly for two days. 😑

[@samcrocker9462]

I question everything so depending on what you're talking about depends on if I will question you. The postal strike in Canada is over.😊❤

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@samcrocker9462 exactly Sam. Oh it is? Yay!

You are welcome 👽

[@christinae7070]

I have some gnomes in my stash 🙂

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@christinae7070 they’re cute ☺️

[@elizabethwarman9028]

Hi Raemi, I didn't see the flickering. Where did you purchase your boxes from? What breed is Coco? I have an 11 year old Doxie-Beagle named Herschel Andromeda Warman😊😊😊😊

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@elizabethwarman9028 hey Elizabeth! I got my boxes from Temu. Oh my gosh. It’s been ages now. I’ve linked them before ‘magnetic gift boxes’. Coco is a deer head Chihuahua 💕. I loveHerschel but haven’t seen a picture😊😊

[@Seasbestormy]

Today I kitted up one that didn't have the dmc numbers on the pkgs. I had to go by number and the color key from the canvas. I always take a pic of the color key rather than have the actual canvas in front of me. The Pine Derby car needs a short grass skirt around it. My next project is a gnome. I'll be showing it to you all in group. Will be doing it for someone else. I never believe anything unless it is proven or I research and prove it. I'm also too old to be jumping on bandwagons.

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@Seasbestormy well said! 😊. Love the grass skirt idea😂. Have fun on your gnome. 💕

[@Crafts_with_Nightingale]

I agree that you should not believe everything you hear. You should always seek another source for confirmation.

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@Crafts_with_Nightingale absolutely. Especially when it comes to peoples livelihoods or reputation. 💕

[@Crafts_with_Nightingale]

@Diamondpaintingwithcoco definitely. I am always honest and up front with people and try to make sure that whatever information I share is as accurate as possible. I have had problems with jumping to conclusions in the past, but I do my best to double-check my information.

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@ yes exactly. Things can get out of hand before you know it. 😞

[@kathypatterson1598]

I never saw any of the flickering

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@kathypatterson1598 oh thank goodness 😅. Thank you Kathy.

"how could someone live their life like that?" referring to trusting a person you should be able to trust? My question is ,how could someone live with themselves being a liar. I should be able to trust you. the fault would not be mine, it would be yours. Now with that said, Im not going to trust a politician or someone who has proven themselves to be dishonest. A person gets one chance with me to show me who they are. Again, with that said, if it is something life threatening Im going to consult an expert before putting mine or another persons life on the line. I do my fact checking when I feel its warranted. My point is, I think we live in a really sad world when our default attitude is that the person who does the trusting is an idiot.

[@Diamondpaintingwithcoco]

@@melissabrooks4932 💯 agree Melissa. 💯. I trust to easily. It gets me hurt sometimes, betrayed or slandered. But thank goodness most people are good. They do good. So for the most part it’s fine. But man when it goes south it hurts. 😞
