Kitting up my “African Beauty” canvas from Michael’s. Let’s catch up!

Unboxing and kit up in one! I talk about nursing shortage? Plans for school?? Diamond painting is an misunderstood art!
Not necessarily in that order 🤣

Harry Potter? Still?...Always.....lol I am 51 years old and the wizarding world is everything to me...no guilt no shame... This painting is quite the beauty she should be fun to do! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication as a nurse and just a great human...👍💗💗🤗

[@kimbaskrafts]

Wow! Thank you so much Jennifer ❤️ I can’t tell you how much that means to me🥹🥹 Yes I agree! Always room for Harry Potter 😂

[@jessdiamondpaints]

Yeah I broke my no buy for the Chamber of Secrets poster too. I have the sorcerers stone but haven’t done it yet. I plan to collect them all too. I was rather obsessed with the books when they were being released. I went to the midnight book release parties dressed up along with my daughter. So much fun. I miss all the excitement. I am shocked about Michael’s selling stolen art! As for mattresses we have a sleep number bed. It’s the second one we have owned. We love it. He has his firmness setting I have mine. It’s perfect.

[@kimbaskrafts]

I’m glad I’m not the only one! Lol. And that sounds so so fun! Dressing up and stuff. Harry Potter is just too good ❤️❤️ if there was any rule to breaking a no buy. It’s Harry Potter 😂

Hi Kim, definitely take advantage of the free education and get your BS. That sounds like a great deal. That African Beauty canvas looks like it's going to be gorgeous. I know what you mean about people not understanding the craft. I tried several other crafts like felting but none really relaxed me like diamond painting. Most people can't even relate to it because it seems very tedious and fussy but I'm really enjoying it. I started my first Diamond Art Club painting, Black Cat in Candlelight. It's my first square drill painting. So far it's coming out pretty good but I feel like maybe I should have started my first line on the black border line because it's a struggle to keep the rows from trying to slide onto the next row. I'm so slow at it and constantly am using a row straightener.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hi Tucker! Yeah. I’m definitely going to email the person running the program and get more information…just can’t pass it up. Maybe a next fall start?? We shall see. That’s a beautiful painting! I really thought hard about that one too…it’s still on my maybe list. I had a black cat growing up, Mingus, she was a badass hehe. Keep at it, I’m sure it’ll be beautiful 😻

Oh and FREE college sounds wonderful.

[@kimbaskrafts]

It does doesn’t it?! I’d be foolish not to do it. But I do have a lot of Diamond paintings that need doing…🤣

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

@@kimbaskrafts lol hmm FREE college or finished diamond paintings. Man that’s gotta be the hardest decision of your life to make 😂😂

[@Melbell76]

Kimbaaaaa! I did this as a puzzle I love it bought it on Amazon. Now wanna do it as a DP now

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hey Melissa! She is so stunning! I love her❤️❤️

[@Tammy_1977]

I have a Sleep Number mattress and I love it! It does feel like sleeping on a cloud! I’d like to try a painting from Oraloa

[@kimbaskrafts]

I have heard great things about sleep number. I think maybe the mattress will be put on hold until next year, I explain in my next video what we have planned! But I plan on checking that one out when we’re ready. Honestly, I LOVE IT! Oraloa is on the buy again list for sure!!

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

That’s a beautiful painting. We just got Beauty rest ones but got firm ones and bought a topper. Hubby and I both have bad backs and our neurologist said firm is best for back problems. We got twin xl ( split king) so we both can adjust our own sides. We got lucky and got it all financed otherwise we couldn’t have gotten it.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Thank you ❤️ Mattresses are so expensive aren’t they?! I just can’t handle a firm mattress? My girlfriend will sleep on the floor when her back hurts. When I lay on the floor to watch a movie or something, I literally can’t move after 30 mins lol. I’m so stiff and my back is killing me…so weird 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@judyyi-lopez6033]

Omg I got my craftibly preorder and they are gorg! The quality is on point! I think EverMoment is jades supplier so if you try one, you can cross off the other.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Judy! I have been seeing those Craftibly canvases and drooling! Omg. I wish I ordered some! I am desperately hoping for the scarecrow! 👻 which ones did you get??! I’m so happy you got them and are happy with them!!

[@judyyi-lopez6033]

@@kimbaskrafts I got flow of time, rainbow dreams and a better place ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimbaskrafts]

Love those! I was thinking about Flow of time too! Love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰

We're did you get your pug measuring tape? Soooo cute!

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hey Maryjo 🥰 I got it on Amazon. Here’s an affiliate link amzn.to/3yLvb9r

Has anyone used rhinestones opal

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hi Kimberly, welcome! I have not? Never even heard of that. I’ll have to look them up 🧐 thank you!

[@diamondpaintingwithjack]

I have that same canvas. I got mine from Amazon . How do you check to see if art is stolen? Have a great week.

[@jennifermurray4387]

Uh oh...I bought 2 of these from amazon also! She was so fun and so pretty...well to late I suppose..I would also like to know how to check, although to be honest I get all my diamond paintings from amazon because I just cant afford the others so 🤷‍♀️

[@diamondpaintingwithjack]

@@jennifermurray4387 I understand about buying budget friendly. I just bought a DAC, but paid 36.00 I don't want to spend above that.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hi Jack and Jennifer! I wonder how the Michaels compares to the Amazon?? The only thing I understand about checking for the image is to do a reverse image search on google. If it comes up connected to an artist, it’s probably their work. If it doesn’t, the it’s probably a stock image. That’s my understanding anyway. There are tons of budget friendly images that are completely safe if you’re worried about stolen work. Sometimes I will screenshot an image and search for it in Shutterstock. If it comes up as a free download, then, you’re good 👍🏽
