My Newest Obsession

[@snowqueen5994]

Make the videos, we will watch. I came for the books, but stayed because of your personality.

[@Ashley-mz6md]

I second this ❤

[@louisaw9558]

Talk about anything, you're fantastic!

[@kathievolk6128]

Been addicted for a year now. Audio books and diamond painting. You talk like its a bad thing. Its healthy, your not hurting anyone, you are being creative and stimulating your mind. Embrace the drill!! Youre one of us now. Be proud!! ( btw I dont know what to do with my finished ones either)

[@fluffymuffi1]

You are hysterical. I stumbled on this as well, would have thought it was beneath me but have now planned the rest of my life around it and I'm at peace. 😁🤡😂

[@cynthiataylor8022]

Same! Now I have to find time to both read AND diamond paint.

[@emilyberardi3126]

I love the half-embarrassed half-excited to share vibe of this video. 😂 I love hearing about the ins and outs of different hobbies - would love more videos about this.

[@JessTorries0722]

More Diamond painting! I just got into it too and I’m really enjoying watching you talk about it. It’s nice to watch someone else be as excited about it as you are!

[@moonmaiden8802]

Yup, I am wandering down this rabbit hole. It all started with a cheap Baby Yoda painting. And now I have a Hocus Pocus in the works. But those dragons are calling me. I need! 😍

[@LoveSweetEvil]

I love diamond painting and cross stitching! Puzzles are fun to do as well to keep your hands busy.

[@mollywarren8249]

As someone who JUST started Diamond painting this week, I am already obsessed and I feel this so much. Haven’t even finished my first painting and I already ordered a second one heehee

[@dhlundblad35]

I'm a total lurker, but have to tell you that this is just what I needed. I've flirted with buying one of these, but just didn't know how to enter in... love this!

[@karynbokum3168]

I love Diamond 💎 Painting 🖼, too. So happy to see all the things on your channel 😸📚🧽

[@cwtchcorner]

My wife has been doing them for 3 or 4 years. She suffers very badly from anxiety and it helps her immensely with it. It's like a double addiction. The addiction of both doing them and buying them. She's got boxes of them both done and yet to do, including one so large that it takes up the entire table!

[@carolynanderson3292]

Those dragons are adorable! And diamond painting is like Animal Crossing for me- I don’t even try it because I know I’ll go down the rabbit hole 😂

[@spaceylacey6704]

Girl me too. Diamond painting is so addictive.

[@kellygeorge7464]

There is a tool you can buy to straighten out all of your squares. It's amazing and makes the square ones look so much better

[@Summersun-f6d]

I started last year in November due to depression hoping I recover it has help not gone lot better than I was

[@adventureswithJacqui]

Just had a look at their website. There are so many that I NEED!!!!!

[@barbaraweber3557]

I diamond paint and read both the two as a combo always awesome love your videos great job

[@kimreese3530]

I saw another book tuber doing diamond painting while she listened to books. I asked her about it and then I bought one and I’m hooked. I’ve finished at least a couple dozen of them since them. I hang mine on skirt hangers for storage and now I’m learning to frame them.

[@crystallong6488]

“Ive got bags inside of bags”. This video is everything!

[@sarahteter6310]

I don't have the means to do this, but I use the Gallery Coloring Book and Decor phone app while I listen to audio books if I'm not doing laundry or walking dogs so I completely get how mindless placing of colored stuff can be relaxing and fun and let you really enjoy audio books.

[@ssexton2009]

Were here for you! Not just books. Create what makes you happy 😊

[@NeverGiveUpExisting]

This is the most relatable thing eva -- audiobooks + diamond painting 😄

[@ashleynicole310]

I fell down the rabbit hole with diamond painting too, went from 2 cheap ones on amazon to a crap ton from diamond art club. Got obsessed with handmade pens and waxes off Etsy. It’s such a fun hobby. I finished the butterfly one you showed and working on the purple kitty now. Both are soooo beautiful. Check out the everlasting tips on Etsy, their stainless steel, they feel and work much better than the cheap tips that come with most of the pens.

[@deannaburkart1620]

My young adult daughter and I did this early into COVID. We really enjoyed it. But then you have to find a place to hang them! So we each did two and done.

[@rickireads9764]

I would love to see more of the animals!! I foster kittens and have dogs. I love vet videos, day in the life, and just miscellaneous things. But you do you and make the content that brings you joy!

[@RescuesandReads]

Yep! You are definitely obsessed. I have been doing it for about a year and have completed around 10, including huge ones and have a large DAC stash. I love all the Randal Spangler book ones! I got those two too!

[@LJG7654]

lol! You totally made me laugh...because you are me about a year later. I had a friend send me a tiny, tiny pumpkin a few years ago, like 2x2 inch tiny. Since then, I have all the paintings! Ok, maybe not that bad, but I have done a ton of it and have all the things too. Addicting, but so much fun to do and so satisfying when you finish!

[@purplesk8ergirl]

I live diamond painting! My mom got me into it. I've only finished 2 pictures so far but I'm happy with them. Definitely prefer the round ones over the squares.

[@francesjanegretton1270]

Yes please. My addiction is jigsaws, especially the Wentworth Puzzles - UK

[@monicamoss347]

Painting look amazing and fun. I love listening to audiobooks while multi tasking. And on a similar vibe I have been doing more puzzles lately while listening to books. Keep doing what makes you happy. Love the video

[@StrawberryBookReader]

Yaaassss!!!! I had been wanting to try this for a long time. I had even bought one to try back last Christmas. Then the country shut down and I did it and the SAME THING happened to me!! I have probably 15+ paintings in my closet. I have to bounce between hobbies though, I wish I could listen to audio books, because I’d have more paintings done for sure! I’ve done like, 5? I tried, again, to listen while I painted, and I may try again in the future, but it still hasn’t happened for me. I don’t have light pad yet. I want one. Looked at buying one and then didn’t...but I will get one sometime. Love it!!!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Love the Diamond paintings you done so far. You have a wonderful collection still to do 🥰 Yes its a brilliant hobby very addictive 😜😂

[@graylagran7443]

I’m here for the diamonds. This is a new hobby for me and I’m working on my first DAC!

[@tayyibahrahman9876]

I love ur diamond painting videos pls post more diamond painting videos.

[@nicolesisk325]

My friend had given me a small one as a gift and I had to immediately go and do it after I saw this video! It is amazing!

[@sandygranger4328]

I am the same lm addicted to diamond painting. I have done 65 pictures for gifts love it🥰

[@Mishyofthebee]

The diamond dotz brand is amazing as well. I've also realized that buying them and doing them are two completely different obsessions!! I have probably 28 boxes of these waiting to be worked in my craft room!

[@RescuesandReads]

Since I now almost do only exclusively do DAC now, I only save leftover DAC drills. I have so many of the Elizabeth Ward containers. Lol.

[@skigirlred]

I'd love more videos like this. I started Diamond Painting a couple months ago. Yes, the obsession is real! I already have 6 projects in the wings and more coming in the mail. I've done four now.

[@susanp7386]

Chelsea, I *loved* this video! I was laughing even before you got to the double-stacked boxes of new projects :-). I looked up Diamond Art Club and they ship to the UK...

[@lavernehodge3320]

Oh Chelsea, I fell down the rabbit hole of diamond painting and haven't come up yet!! I have been diamond painting for about two years now and really enjoy it. It is so relaxing for me. I put on an audio book and I'm all set. DAC is my favorite company to order from, and It's so nice that they're here in the states. I love the dragons and the Clydesdales. Some of my favorites.

[@supergirl12329]

Love your videos! Do books and diamond painting! Love them both! Do everything! I'll support you!

[@zionalynn7878]

I completely understand the obsession. I am obsessed as well. It is amazing! I have done a few Disney Frozen DP's. So cute. Love the dragon ones you showed. I want them! I have literally almost all the tools as well aside from the light pad. I have so many to do. I am so excited that they are gonna have some in Joanns craft store. Like not great selection at Hobby Lobby.

[@emotionalreader3529]

Obsession level maximised 🤣 I did the same thing , I was sent a diamond dot painting from a friend and before I even finished it I must have ordered 20 packs 🤣🤣 only I’ve not made anymore 🤦‍♂️

[@puckettrita75]

Ooooh. Now I want to try that ! 😁. Yes please do ALL the Things ! You bring so much joy into our lives Thank you so much !!

[@jetcoffee181]

I think your an awesome person and I would watch anything you want to put there. There is nothing about going down that rabbit hole of diamond painting. If I had the room I would be doing it or even doing puzzles.

[@Shellybell07]

Diamond painting looks fun I like my arts and crafts time 2020 has been a rough year do all the things that bring you joy.

[@mandynott9772]

I’ve just started my first diamond painting and can see how addictive it can be. Variety is the spice of life so mixing it up with different video subjects sounds great.

[@rushatoo]

I don't do diamond painting but I do several other arts and craft and I have learned that buying arts and crafts supplies and using them are two separate hobbies. 😁😁😁 I have to admit I love good tools! There are far worse things We could spend our time and money on.😉 Enjoy!

[@jennifermanian1420]

I never diamond painted but you caught me with the cat designs. I am a cat lady too. Thank you. I think.

[@diamondpaintingwithpearl]

now you got hooked lol...we love our diamond painting ...

[@nickireads1060]

I find Diamond Painting helps me focus on Audiobooks. I’m loving DAC! I’m currently working on Mama Knows Best (Daenerys) whilst I listen to A Dance with Dragons. I’ll definitely watch any vids on DP that you make. 🥰

[@cathysreadingjourney]

I am all for you doing videos outside of the bookish realm. I just used a 60% off coupon at Joann to by one of the Chuck Pinson paintings.!

[@anitanoordenbos1584]

Welcome to the diamond painting club!!! I love it too!! Please make more video's about it!!

[@tashav4686]

Yes! Show us all the things! What I wish some channels would do is title their videos accordingly, for instance, make note that this one is diamond painting, and your next video a reading vlog, next video book haul etc. I get frustrated when I can't clearly tell what the video will be when I am in the mood for a certain video and you do a great job showing that on your thumbnails! I'm just lazy and don't want to click on a video and find out that I don't want to watch it.

[@susancerf8268]

I have fallen DAC hard myself. Since covid I have a out 15 DAC undone and 12 finished ones.

[@sydsyd5841]

I just got into these, man am I excited but also scared because money 😂 I love that you kept the second one. We low key do that too 😂😂

[@elizabethdavis5661]

I got into diamond painting a couple years ago, but haven't done much lately because my cats kept trying to get into it and then I'd get hair stuck on them. I really should get back to it since I have 5 large ones I need to finish.

[@Imaginetheday1967]

I also said, "I will never..." about diamond painting, then decided to give it a try at the beginning of the lockdown. I loved it, then discovered DAC. I love Mandie Manzano's pieces. I've put myself on a buying ban, but those dragons are really calling to me. They are so. dang. cute. (I also got my sister hooked. :) )

[@RescuesandReads]

Mandie Manzano is my favorite!!

[@TheTeddybear1992]

Those are awesome, I don't think I could do them, but I'd watch your videos of them 😍🤗

[@debbieadams2695]

What a great hobby! And, you get to read a book at the same time! Might be a good way to get kids, teens to read more, too! Enjoy yourself! Talk about anything; I'll watch. You make it entertaining!

[@AutomaticHumanoid28]

I use to do diamond painting... I started to run out of time to do it so I gave it up

[@extrabadluck]

You could talk about dust bunny and I wouldn't mind. This is really fun actually.I may give it a try

[@loreabiding]

Okay, that's really cool. And I was just thinking the other day that I need something mindless to do as I listen to my audiobooks. My audiobooks are starting to "pile" up and I need to get them listened to.

[@nancygreen560]

I would love to see more of theses kinds of videos. I have gotten into Diamond painting and would love to see more videos about. I enjoy your book videos too. I am also a fan of listening to books while doing diamond paintings. It’s so relaxing.

[@adellethompson9615]

Yeah. I did the same thing. I discovered diamond painting on one for my scrolling sprees kn my phone and decided to give it a try because what else was I gonna do while in lockdown (iin the uk at least) and after i finished one i was hooked after have done at least a bit of diamond painting every day

[@lozziehumphreys]

This is something I fear I could get hooked on... I am a jigsaw fiend so perhaps I should stick to them for now! Loved the video and would always watch you chat about them as well as books, goats, horses, cats, dogs... anything really 😊

[@kathievolk6128]

Came back to watch this again. You started my DP addiction ( now at 100+ ) and always had the best book recs. Hope you are happy and well. Miss seeing you! Oh and I think you were responsible for my buying goats!!😅

[@jenawsomesbookshelf8900]

I also do these while listening to audiobooks. Love it!

[@disneyfun395]

Just watched this and had to go and order two from DAC immediately!

[@cleg78]

I am in the U.K. and I absolutely love diamond painting and here the kits work out so cheap it is crazy

[@cleg78]

I went out and got all the kit too...light boards, tons of things. I would love to see you work on projects

[@cleg78]

Wow I like the books one with the dragon....oh my goodness 😳🤭😍

[@cleg78]

Wow the dragon ones are all amazing, oh my goodness 😍

[@cleg78]

I have a number of the cheaper ones from Amazon and a lot of them have been fantastic

[@cleg78]

I am definitely up for a diamond painting section, really look forward to you hopefully doing something along those lines

[@teresarollen7425]

I have just recently got into diamond painting. I am working on my first one and I love it! The one I am working on is not the best quality though. It is a beginner's kit of a unicorn that I picked up from Hobby Lobby. I have bought a lot of accessories for the craft also. I would love to see you do different videos more often especially of diamond art.

[@ghostkat92]

I bought one of those cheap kits a year ago but never started it. Thanks to you I bought from the diamond club today. I love your idea of listening to an audiobook while doing this. Thanks! I’d love more videos on this.

[@alinagordyn]

Loved your video. I am seeing it 2 years later and just want to ask how you feel abiut diamond painting now, in 2023? I feel same way. Something about completing one of those canvas that is priceless. I give you so much respect for taking on those 2 cat canvases. The amount of confetti in it more than I can handle.

[@Laura-gg4zo]

I loved this, absolutely loved it 🌷

[@trudyjohns5150]

I have been diamond painting for just over a year and I still love it!!! I read a lot too, so I combine both hobbies and try to do them each day!!!

[@Mythicmist22]

I love diamond painting! So far I've done a Starry Night Hogwarts and Beauty & the Beast rose. Both from Amazon. I'd love to try the more expensive ones. Excited for the new content! 💜

[@candacealderton1740]

I got hooked recently too! I love it and also do it during audio books!

[@booksbybrittnicole6264]

I LOVE Diamond Paintings SOOOOOOO much!!!!!!

[@sakurapandi3495]

It's so obsession worthy, and it is totally the perfect thing to listen to audio books too! I would love to see the occasional DP tossed in here, like an uhaul. I love all your content tbh

[@sharonforbes162]

I have seen a few other Booktubers getting into this diamond painting. It IS very pretty, but I think I'm going to have to just admire your beautiful results on here and not even try to get started as I don't have the room nor the money to put into this. I hope you continue to enjoy it though!!

[@jodyc8887]

Omg I’m the same. I discovered diamond painting in Oct and I can’t stop! Lol

[@christineschroth1537]

That's a big fat YES from me to all of the suggestions!

[@oceangirl4760]

I LOVE DIAMOND PAINTING!!!!!

[@Lakhana626]

Welcome to the club. If you gonna continue with more content with diamond painting, I’ll sure to watch your video more often 😍

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

😂😂welcome to Daimond painting. Its addictive 😜. You have some Great ones Love this hobby

[@tinageyer]

Just subscribed to your channel because I am obsessed with Diamond painting and books and audio books. I am not sure if you are still interested in diamond painting? I looked at your videos and didn't notice any newer ones. But I recently fell into diamond painting and had the same experience started with the crap ones very quickly went to the good ones. Bought alllllllllllllllllllllllllll the stuff. Still buying stuff! I've purchased so many DAC diamond paintings I'm running..... Ran out of room to store them. 8 have 5 more coming lol. Not to mention the accessories pens, trays, tips $1000s later and still going strong. I listen to books all day long and diamond paint every chance I get.

[@growingupwithbella7242]

Omg those dragons! I just cant! So adorable.

[@briek9482]

Lol so as i was watching this video i was like no no no not for me. Im glad you found something you like but not my thing. And by the end for some reason i have my background browser open "just to look" . I am doomed 😆🤦‍♀️

[@kathleendouglas3179]

Omg I love this so much!!! Whatever you put out we will watch!! I love Diamond Painting too!! Super obsessed as well!! Have you seen the DP journals? So cute! Great gift idea too! Thank you for sharing your obsession!!! 🥰

[@JennJennR]

Loved it ❤️

[@alidaz9725]

I love diamond painting, I discovered it about 2 years ago, it's such a great time suck. Reading and diamond painting, my two greatest hobbies.

[@JessLuvnNicky]

Myself, my mom and my best friend have been diamond painting for almost 3 years now! It's so addicting. We also make our own wooden frames and we sell them. We have definitely sold over 100 pictures since starting this! We also love the square over rounds...rounds is easier, but square like you said have so much more detail. We use allyexpress to order. Happy painting! 😊🤓

[@jeanetteagain6631]

Do it all Chelseanjust enjoy yourself 💞🙏god bless be well 💞👏

[@SunShineCrafties]

I love hobby vlogs and day in the life vlogs!

[@debralavoie9095]

I love how much passion you have for this craft. I would enjoy watching more.

[@aprilmcarthur4250]

Love your videos. Books or diamond painting. Will watch them all.

[@jeannacata6446]

I first learned of this when it was featured at one of the Craft & Hobby Association events but told myself I had enough things...but have been intrigued ever since. And now you tell me the dragons have made it to diamond painting?! We bought a print from the artist live at a past festival. I’m obsessed with their work. And I may need that GIANT book stack poster. PS we will watch whatever you post. You are a whole person. And one of our hobbies is KZbin. Why wouldn’t we trust your content to be interesting, amusing, and worthwhile? You do you. 😎💙

[@ChelseaPalmerBooks]

Yesss Randal Spangler has a contract with DAC now and they’re slowly releasing the dragons!
