[@TheYarnOverStore]

Just when I’ve lost motivation you post your WIP N Chat and I get excited seeing ur progress and want to diamond paint with you 😊

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Yay! I’m glad I can motivate you to Diamond paint more. It’s so fun it everyone gets burnout, that’s normal

[@HappyLittleDrills-Carol]

For the Memorial Day sale I got two that I have been waiting for to come back in restock, mushroom forest and country side cottage. I can’t wait to get them 🥰. Great WIP and chat 😀

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Oh yay! I’m so glad you were able to snag those 💕 thank you and thank you for watching!

[@diamondsandthoughts]

The wip and chats get me through my walks and working on my wips haha. I have a few ppl I watch every one and so far since I subbed you are on that list

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Yay that’s so awesome to hear! I will be keeping the WIP and Chats sure

[@jennshobbynook5826]

I love the pen you are using. I like wip and chat.

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Thanks! It’s the one my husband hand turned on his wood lathe. Did you sign up for the pen giveaway on the stash video? It’s another hand turned pen he made

[@jennshobbynook5826]

@@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16 Yes I did, thank you.

[@auroragloqueen4979]

You were great company. Take care.

I love your wip and chats, I will continue to support you in whatever decision you make. 😊 I am currently working on DAC Mother and Child, I was hoping to get it done in time for Mother’s Day but with 7 kiddos it’s sometimes difficult for me to get around to lol! For Memorial Day weekend my husband and I attended the Temple and then spent time with our kiddos 😊 I haven’t been diamond painting long, but I love and adore your channel. 🌽

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

7 kiddos! I always feel busy with three, good for you busy mama. Diamond painting for me is my downtime, I’m sure it is for you too. Ah my favorite place to be is the Temple, we go to the Spokane one. I’m so glad you love the WIP and chats. So many people have said they do so I’ll hang onto them 😊 I always think I must be so boring so it’s nice to hear it can be entertaining for others

[@amylevanger7105]

Aww thank you!! I actually have 9 kiddos, my oldest has moved out and I have one on a mission right now 😊 your kiddos are so adorable and I love hearing about your Diamond painting and seeing the paintings you are working on or unboxing. Your channel is great, thank you for sharing it! 😊

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

@@amylevanger7105 I love it! My mom came from a family of 13 and that was always my dream! And then I got pregnant with my first and I was sooo sick, so we’re sticking to three for now 😅. My friend had 8. You moms are super mom! And thank you so much for watching and following 😊 your kind words really mean a lot!

[@katherinealtrina791]

Keep the wip nchat... you keep me company while I work on wip.

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

That’s so good to hear, thank you for watching! I’ll be keeping it around

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Thanks so great to hear, thank you for watching! I’ll keep keeping the WIP and Chats then

[@daisiesanddecaf]

I really enjoy WIP and chats while diamond painting. I support whatever decision is best for you. :) I want to purchase one of your husband’s pens!!! ❤

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Thank you so much for watching! I’ll be keeping them. I’ll definitely keep you guys updated on when pens will be hopefully eventually available for purchase. It will be a while, things have been so busy!

[@daisiesanddecaf]

@@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16 Totally didn’t offer to purchase one of YOUR pens. 😆 But glad to hear he may eventually offer his pens for purchase. x

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

@@daisiesanddecaf haha your good I know what you meant! We do plan on eventually selling them so keep a look out!

[@daisiesanddecaf]

@@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16 Will do! Thank you! x

[@diamondsandthoughts]

Queen of the night is the name of the kit with the new stuff haha. I had to look it up because I couldn't remember either. I got it because on my bucket list is to try something wouldnt normally do and that's a portrait. Idk if it's considered a portrait but there's a person in it lol

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

I think it’s considered a portrait. I’m so glad you were able to snag it!

[@80sChicwithglasses]

I have 3 wips going. DAC Beachcomber’s bounty, Dreamer Designs Radiant Rainbow and a cross stitch conversion of Evil Queen.

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

All these are beauty’s ones! If beachcombers county comes back into stock I’ll pick it up right away. I can’t believe I didn’t when it came out again

[@melaniehebert5888]

I think at the end of the day you are the one to make the decision to keep the Wip and chat… I will continue to support you regardless. I’m currently working on a dreamer design for Pride events.🥕

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Thank you Melanie! I’m thinking I will keep it going, I feel like it’s staple and enough people enjoy it that it’s worth keeping. Like I said even if just a few like it! Thanks for always supporting me!

[@jamieeastin4928]

I’m working on Fairy Friend by Bella Art Diamonds. It’s so pretty!

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

I had to look that one up. It’s so pretty! I still need to try Bella Art de Nicole paintings. Thanks for sharing!

[@KYFillyDiamondPaintingnMore]

I use a very fine tipped pen to place my AB’s. I just finished a DAC Randal Spangler called “Bubbles.” I did that one for my grand daughters. It turned out beautifully.

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Is the pen meant for Diamond painting? I’d love to learn a little more about that. I’ve seen that Randal Spangler done, I love that one! Thank you for sharing, I really do love it!

[@KYFillyDiamondPaintingnMore]

Yes it is one of the pens with the sharp wax that screws into the opposite end of the pen. Wish I could send a photo!

[@KYFillyDiamondPaintingnMore]

The link I sent is the pen I’m talking about. Hope it helps!

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

I wish so too! I’d love it if people could post their WIPs. One of these days I’ll set up a Discord feed or Facebook page for things like this. I’ll try to go check out what these pens are!

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

[@marilynluvsdiamonds]

Radiance DAC. 15 bags of 310 ugh but it’s turning out awesome

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

That’s wild! It doesn’t look like it has that much 310, but it’s so gorgeous, the outlining is probably what makes the colors pop so much. Thanks for sharing!

[@knoxjulesc]

🥑🍅🧅🌶️🧄🍋‍🟩= guacamole (hold the cilantro) 🤣 I really enjoy your WIP-n-Chats. The new DAC kits look cool! I saw the new changes on the listing for Queen of the Night. *I looked after you mentioned it in the video. 😉

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Haha do you not like cilantro? It does look awesome! I’m so excited for the new changes, they’re going to be awesome

[@knoxjulesc]

@@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16 I'm not a fan of cilantro. My Dad is actually highly allergic to it. Has to keep an EpiPen on hand. There's a surprising amount of cilantro used in Thai food.

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Yikes!! I didn’t even know that was one people could be allergic to. That’s terrifying

[@diamondsandthoughts]

Have you watched furngully. I know it's from the 80s but my fav!!! I loved flubber too

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

I love both of those movies and we’ve recently watched those too!

[@diamondsandthoughts]

Im loving the cat mouse saga haha. I'm working on mystery kit #52 by Christina SixthLeafClover Yen

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Ah I’ve heard that’s a really fun one! lol those two are ridiculous, I can’t believe he hasn’t caught it yet

[@tammyhyler3001]

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Oh Satura! My heart 😍, still my favorite canvas I’ve ever done. Thanks for sharing!

I’m working on Rainbow Rose by Diamond Art Club.

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

A beautiful classic! Thank you for sharing!

[@PamperedWithDiamonds]

I live on the panhandle of Florida and I have to garden in square foot container gardens. I have tried to grow my own food but it is use less unless I get another greenhouse. We are doing that. Squirrels and other peoples cats ruin my garden. 🐈

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

It’s hard to keep the animals out! I am worried about them for sure too. I’m sorry that makes it so hard to garden! It’s nice to make your own food right now especially while produce is so expensive

[@diamondsandthoughts]

I want to be a gardener so bad. But I kill everything and idk whyyy hahaha

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Gardening can be so hard!

[@janinejohnson6357]

I like whip n chats not kut ups enjoyed listening n Iam nit a Gardner at all

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Oh interesting, good to know! I won’t often do kit ups and chat

[@diamondsandthings]

I just finished a 40x30 budget friendly canvas that says- A House is not a HOME without a Golden Retriever for my daughter. Then I’m going to start back on my Richard Lorenz - Cletus- Early Bird. Plus I’m doing a flower( budget friendly) canvas for an event for June. Since I moved to CT, I live in a condo, but I am growing some herbs, green beans and peppers in my basement, then will transplant them at my daughters house. 🫑🌶🌿 I can not find the video with the special word, I have listen/watched your last two videos and didnt' hear it. What am I missing?!

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Multiple WIPs! I love it! Cletus is a really fun one. Which even is it you are participating in? Thanks do much for sharing!

[@diamondsandthings]

@@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16 The event is on Diamonds by Teeda, she is just doing a monthly event with no prizes. Just a flower canvas for the month. She changes the subject each month.

[@DPandDP]

I really enjoy your WIP & chats! :) I understand what you mean though - my vlogs don't get nearly as many views as my other videos, but they're my favorite so I'm gonna keep making them anyway, lol. 🥦🥬🌶🍆

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Thank you! The feedback I am getting is great so I will keep them. I’m always so happy to watch vlogs and others videos but so hesitant to think people would be interested in mine. If people like it I’ll keep doing it! Your vlogs are one of my favorite series to watch out of any of the Diamond painting videos 💕
