My dad told me when I was a kid, that the older you get the faster time goes by. I am now 50 and the days, weeks, months and years just fly by. A year seems like only a few months.
Yay! Congrats on 3000+ subs!!! I for one love the long videos!!! It makes me feel like i'm not alone, which I do feel pretty alone most of the time. Luv ya girl, thank you for being you!!🤗💎💖💖💖💖💖😙
I find it helpful to take the dryer sheet, and wipe the inside of the bags before pouring the diamonds in your containers,I hope this helps You ❤️
I work on my DPs every morning. I love listening to you while I work. Long videos are great for me. The short ones make me stop too often to load another.
Yes, I’m watching the whole video. I love your videos.
Congratulations Rachel🎉💜 I love your videos long or short so I can spend time with you and paint.💜
I love long videos. This could have gone two hours and I would still be very happy!
Im a new subscriber and now binge watching your videos since the earliest 😍 Bless you
Thank you for your video. I find diamond painting a massive help with mental health, your not alone. Taken me years to start to recover from postpartum depression.
Woo hoo congrats on 3000 subs. You deserve the best. I’m feeling your pain with that static uggg you are not alone and remember that xoxo
Rachel, we have a dog that behaves more or less the way Luna does according to what you mentioned. My daughter took her to the vet and the vet opinión was that some dogs are extremely sensitive to atmospheric changes and increase their anxiety even when there are barometric changes, even before storms. What she recommended and has improved her anxiety is putting a tight vest and giving her camomile tea in her nighttime meal. If you do not have a special storm vest, you can use a tea shirt tight to her body or an elastic bandage crossing from the back underneath her tommy. Hope this helps.😊
I didn't think of that... Thank you very much Patricia
You keep up the great work I love watching you and keep your head held high and by you talking about your health is helping so many people
Love your videos so if you are gone for awhile I will watch others and keep an eye out for you when you come back. Congrats on your 3000 and can't wait to see this kit done.
Congrats on 3000!!!!!
I am actually watching the video! And the bleep scared me! 🤣 You are awesome and congrats on 3000 subscribers!
thank you for this video. I learned a lot. I hope I never get those baggies. You're in my prayers. Thank you for being so open.
Received my pink dp pin Sat morning just love it , the chocolate was delicious reminded me of moon pies, love your channel, thanks again
Congratulations on hitting 3000!
HEY Rachel, I take the dryer sheet and wipe top of bag before pouring them out, the inside of all containers, including tray and then after pouring the drills into tray I wipe the drills with dryer sheet, this seems to help me a bit more. THANKS for the beautiful pictures of Ireland, hugs and kisses to you, hubby and Luna, glad to hear the good news about grandpa 😊🐕🌹🐬⚘👀
Congratulations on 3000 subs 🎉 Great to hear the news about your Grandfather 😊 Don’t work too hard and relax during your time off 🌸💜
Enjoying following your dp and getting glimpses of your life is a bonus. Tks for sharing. I mixed looking at what you where doing and sometimes just listening as I enjoyed our garden and picking fallen apples this late summersday in Sweden. That you vary the intensity of how many videos you produce during summer doesnt worry me because I subscribe so I wont miss any. Glad to know why though. You mention that you reached 3 000 subscribers and that means that in a year you rocketed to 24 600! What a journey. Congrats Rachel and well deserved that you get this attention!
Thank you, Suzan!!
From your future subscriber. In less than 2 year these milesones will make such a huge difference in you and your subscribers. Congratulations on 40k+ subscribers in 2021.
Thank you for sharing.
Congrats on 3K. I love your videos. I dislike kitting down. I have reorganized my storage and kitted down 4 kits. I like kitting up because I get excited about starting a new DP. TFS ❤
Congratulations on 3,000 subscribers!
I have been with you since Wendy's shout out to your channel!!!
I love watching your video's all to the end!!!
Have a wonderful time in your warm weather!!! 💜
Thank you, Debbie!
Thank you for uploading this today. My dad passed away exactly one year ago today, and I'm kind of "hiding out" on CZcams. I'm sitting here feeling like a horrible person because I'm not the kind of person that goes on FB and makes posts about how sad I am because it makes me uncomfortable when people try to cheer me up - I always feel like they are just saying words they think I wanna hear, but in reality they don't really give a crap because they have their own life's woes. So I hide out on days like this. But I feel bad because I'm also not "there" (on FB) making my other family members feel good, and I just hope they realize it's not that I dont care, it's just that I don't have it in me today. Anyway... geeez maybe I should just delete all that and start over? LOL Anyway... I really like when **certain** people make long videos (like even 2-3 hrs).... You, Doni, and Mrs Coffee, hellyeah, I could listen to you guys all day long (and usually do). But there are some that... trying to be nice here.... let's just say after about 15 minutes whether they are done or not, I am clicking on a different video. I like them, but only in small doses. As I said, I am just sooo glad to hear your voice today and sooo glad it was a longer video (could have been even longer and I wouldn't mind). I'm always DP'ing when I 'watch", so it's nice when I don't have to look for a new video to play every 10 minutes.
Yay! Kitting up!!
I love those containers and I like long kitting up videos. I watch/ listen while I work on my wip. Long or short, keep doing what you're doing.
Rachel, I'm adoring you & your videos. Thank you for being so open & sharing. I have that storage container & I've gotten to where I automatically know to push the diamonds over a little where it closes. That sucks you had so much static, OMG!!! I haven't experienced that yet & now I know to use dryer sheets! About video length: I like both short & long, for different reasons. I generally prefer the longer ones because I diamond paint (or do other crafty stuff) while watching. I watch shorter ones when I don't have a lot of time. Congrats on the subs, looks like you're almost at 4K!
I loved the park with the narly, crooked, trees. It looked like something out of a book. It was so cool! What a magical place. I would love to walk in a place like that!
Hi Carol, I have a walking video in my Ireland Playlist of this place. If you are interested in seeing more!
I'm so happy to hear about Gampy!!! That's fantastic news!
Watching to the end. I love how you dump the drills on the dryer sheet before putting them into the container. I absolutely have to do this with diamond dotz💜🤗💜
I'm so jealous that hubby went and got breakfast stuff and made you breakfast! I haven't had proper breakfast at home (cooked myself or anyone else) in ages!
I'm kind of glad to see that I'm not the only one that has that issue of drills that are full of static. It is so frustrating.
I am excited about doing my next big dp I will be kitting it up in my Elisabeth Ward containers for the first time. I will also be using my new A2 lightpad for the first time.I keep telling everyone but they don't understand how great it is but I know you will all understand. I am so happy lol! 😘😊🤗
Hi congratulations on your 3000 subs. I know what it's like with the static drills so frustrating it is love all your videos and hope it doesn't take you much longer to finish kitting up
Omg. I have to spell walk and treat and food!!! I thought it was just my hubby and I. I’m a new sub and you are inspirational. I have had a horrible static issue with my last kit which has 52 colors!!!! I almost gave up on it but now I’m working on it. Lol. I found art or rather it found me because I have MS and RA and it is my therapy. I love all art. I started diamond painting years ago but recently picked it up again and I love it.
I know this is an older video, but I don’t mind the longer videos. I tend to watch and listen while I’m diamond painting and it’s nice to not have to find other videos or look up repeatedly
Hi Rachel congrats on 3000 subs and thanks for the chat
Rachel, I have suffered mental health issues in silence for many years, I have Bipolar, with major depression and PTSD. I am so glad that you are wanting to share and not hide. We need to speak our truth, and not be afraid to share. You are a brave lady. I love your videos.
Thank you, Grandma! 💜
Hi Rachel, I just wanted to say
1: those drills were so messing with my head 😂 I kept trying to mentally pick them up.
2: I love your videos however you make them for as long time wise as you want to make them.
3: 🙀🙀🙀 Arghh Ma!! You swore 😂😂 your human never apologise for being you..
Your videos have always been calming for me with the storm that is my brain, you know that. Thankyou 💜
I love long videos to listen to well diamond panting❤️
We can't say or spell the word "walk" around our Aussie either🤣 I'm going to start my first diamond painting next week and learned so much from this video! Thank you for this content❤
Glad to hear your grandfather is responding to the new treatment. Just had our first appt yesterday with my husband's oncologist. No definitive diagnosis yet. Some more imaging procedures first and followup in 3 weeks. I think the waiting is the hardest part.
Hi Rachel I love your videos long or short. Just keep up the good work ,and give yourself a big pat on the back from all your fans.💖👏🌟
Okay yes start over. 😁😁😁😁 Which means put everything back in the baggies. Take all the labels off too. 😁😁😁😁😁😁 Just kidding. I love your videos too I will watch when you post, whenever that is. And a big congratulations on 3000 subscribers. 😁😁😁
I love long videos so go ahead and take your time ... it is like working on a project with a good friend💖. I actually like the kitting up process - not so much the kitting down one though. Static is a menace whenever it occurs and, yes, I get static a lot where I live too. Dryer sheets, cuss words and RUM are my solution. You make whatever videos you feel inspired to create and we will watch them (or skip them if they don't speak to us I suppose) and enjoy spending time with friends. HUGS! 🤗💖🍷
I LOVE long videos!!!!!!!
I have the same container and static issue. I wipe the container with the dryer sheet and my boats as well. I work my painting and then when done with that color then put into the container and label. I also have to rub the dryer sheet into the bag so that they won't fly all over the place.
Bless you!
Another Static tip: Blow in the bag like you are blowing on a window to draw a picture. the moisture in your breath with cut the static instantly. This works for glass beads, nail art rinstones and beads and for this too. its so much easer and a lot less frustrating, I think. Try it and let me know what you think.
I understand the frustration with staticky drills 😖 You also have a very cute sneeze... When it comes to putting out content, it is summer time and if people can’t understand that you may put out a little less content and they unsubscribe they aren’t thinking of you... those who matter won’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter...
I love longer videos as it gives me something to listen to while I DP, I got a good section done on my angel baby painting...
Many Blessings
#vibetribe 🌈
I hope you're well. I'm going to check out your etsy shop. Have fun with those nasty, static'y drills. Ugh! :)
Hi Rachel, thank you for sharing and I like the long videos. Instead of dryer sheets, I use Lenor un stoppables and they are reusable. 💖🇬🇧
You just keep making videos when you can, and we will be watching...no worries! My technique for dealing with static is to take a whole dryer sheet and lay it over my tray, then dump all the drills into it, fold it over and rub the drills around inside of it, then dump them into the tray, and into my container. Of course put a piece of dryer sheet in the container to handle any leftover static.
Hi Rachel, I under stand it is hard to keep up with things when you have nice weather. You have to do things you need to do. I love your channel so I'm not going to leave you. You have a life so do what needs to be done. I put dryer sheets in the bag first before I kit them up it helps me.
I like the mix of long and short videos.
I save all my beads as well but I found that a lot of them come without the DMC numbers. Just curious as to what you do with those since you can’t really match them up. Thanks!
I have a dmc color chart that can be used to match unmarked drills to dmc numbers! Found it on Amazon 😊
Rachel: I don’t want to keep you here all day
Me: Binge watching your entire channel for hours on end every day 😂
awww thank you so much!
I love long videos! Especially when I'm diamond painting :) And when there kiting up videos xD
I dont mind the shaking lol
Hope you have a great week too 💋💋
How can I travel with a diamond art in progress. Is there a special wrapping I should do?
I have static issues a lot but I think it is because of low humidity. I live in Utah which is a desert state with low humidity. I use a static guard spray and just spray a mist all around my work space and the containers which are the same you're using and it helps. I spell walk in front of my dogs too or just call it a W.😄
Have you ever tried static guard directly in the bag before pouring the drills, when kitting up?
@@CubNan I don't think so, I was afraid the force of the spray would shoot them all over.
Regarding WALKIES. One of my dogs learned to spell.... Even with spelling they knew. We ended up spelling Biscuits too. 😊 Keep safe and we are here for you.
You could try putting the dry sheet into the baggies🤔
Hi Rachel,
I have allergies too so I know how you’re feeling.
I started using anti-static beads. I found them on the same shelf as the dryer sheets. They’re easier to add to the containers than cutting up the dryer sheets. Hopefully they sell them where you live.
Also, I have a dog that’s very scared of thunder. There is a all natural solution called Rescue Remedy for Pets. The original version is for humans. I give my dog a couple of droppers full of the solution and it calms her down so that she’s not running around shaking and peeing everywhere. I know it came be ordered online. Just a suggestion, but check with your vet first.
When you bleeped yourself, I thought someone was outside LOL
Side note I'd love to see videos of you doing stuff in Ireland. I remember you mentioning recently you'd intended to do walks and stuff on your channel maybe take summer as that opportunity to do those kinds of videos?
I use baggies. I put a small dryer sheet square in the baggy. Quick and simple.
You’re voice IS so calming! I’m pretty much binging your videos while I do my first diamond painting!! I wish I discovered this hobbie sooner I love it!
I also have to spell out the word W A L K in front of my dog 😄
I really want to get a custom Diamond painting of my dog, what company do you think is the best to order from??
I live in Florida. I work with tiny tiny seed beads. The Ziplocs that they come in can I have static. I shake the bag down till the beads are in the bottom half and I make my cut with the scissors across right above there. That way they don't get caught on the ziplock and you can rub them between your thumb and your forefinger to get them out the rest of the way.
The static struggle is real 🙈 I usually put the dryer sheet in the baggie and leave it for a few days then transfer them 💜
I prefer longer videos because I can keep on working on my wip and don't have to keep searching for new ones 🙃
Spending time watching your videos is never a waste of time...even if things are not going how you want..
Omg I want one of those sticker makers! I have to say your voice is so soothing for me
Hello Michaela, are you still wanting one of those sticker makers or did you manage to find one?
I have one now
Couldn’t watch this static disaster any longer. I get one or two in a kit and it makes me crazy. You are very patient. Maybe you should try the freezer trick?
Would rubbing the dryer sheet on the boat cut down some of the static?
I will cut a small piece of dryer sheet and put it in in the bag and shake it around and let it sit overnight and then they come out pretty good.
Hi..Ms. Rachel.. I am new for a Diamond painting.. I just watched ur video and i find it very exciting i know i will enjoy it..i still waiting for my order of diamond painting.. May I know where can i buy that diamond tray storage? Thank you so much..
Hi there! The link should be in the description. 😊
Hello Rachel, your static problem reminds me of one of Jeremy's videos he had in kitting up a painting and he was mad as a hornet! 😂💖. You kept your cool. Must be that teacher mind set of handling teenagers.
I'm behind again on your and others videos too. I haven't watched the one on depression but I to suffer for it and have been on antidepressants for years. It is something my family does deal with and it's been our generation that finally said a person isn't crazy or off their rocker.
It's midnight and I will watch your video tomorrow. Your not alone. I have those feelings so often too. So I understand.
You have an awesome day. I'm looking forward to your framing videos. Wendy from Gone Off My Meds framed her DAC Alice. It is beautiful. She had awesome ideas in it.
Jesus bless you and yours,Lin ✝️🐶🐶🐶🐶🐢🐦🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎💖🦒🐧🐲🤗
Your dog is so cute
I put my Dreamer Design drills in the freezer overnight and it really helped in the kitting process.🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
I like listening to you and I like the long videos while I paint cause I get more done. If I was you I would enjoy the weather while it's nice. Try a dryer sheet in the baggie, close it and rub the drills and see if that works. Take care.
Bless you xo
You can make your video's as long as you want. I love listening to you...
I love long videos 1 to 3hours is find with me I sit and do my DP and sometimes I sit fir up to 6ti 8 hours if I can. please make them as long as you want I love it🥰
Regarding the static, do you think next time it might help if you drop a little piece of the cut up dryer sheets into each one of the drill bags BEFORE you start kitting them up? I’m thinking that might cut down with the static before you attempt to transfer them to the little boxes?
Yes, that's a great idea! I must have lost my marbles somewhere! Lol
Hi Rachel love the whip n chats with you! I love💕 the sticker thing! Also love those trays I have 2 of them one got knocked down so one side clip don't work but a little tape n its all good! I'm so sorry the static is such a pain and maybe put in the dryer sheet in the bags and leave them till you finish it might give the beads time to relax lol Those little lids do pop off and go back on. Also if you wanted the DMC codes you could put them on the back of the containers? Love Luna too she is so pretty! 🐾🐾 I have a Luna cat 🐱 she's white with black her tail looks like a racoons tail blue eyes kinda like Siamese? Well hope you feel better! Till your next live! Take care God Bless your day!🙏🎊😃🐾🐾
Oh I just remembered if you have a Pet smarts or any pet stores or order this if your intrested its called a Thunder coat for Luna its suppose to calm the pups down my sister has one for her little dog I need to get one for one of my dogs. Or you can try a calming treats! Good luck sorry I forgot when I wrote the last message! Lol 🐾🐾
I enjoy the long videos and would have been happy for you to keep filming. But I understand your frustration with the static. I have heard that even wiping the outside of the baggies with a dryer sheet. Sorry you are suffering so badly with hay fever. My husband suffers badly also and grasses are his worst enemy also. And thank you for all your hard work filming and editing and uploading these videos. 🤗
Love your videos. Was it Jennifer Roberts that had the info on CBT or Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques? You will get better and thanks for spreading awareness that lessens stigma and helps people. ❤
Omg kitting up made easier never thought of cutting the strips smaller before putting them in the sticker maker and then to score them omg 😮. So much better then cutting then with ✂️. I will watch what ever you put out I like watch it all Short or long it’s your channel do what you want to do. For me I am not going anywhere
I'm so glad to help! 💜😊
I love your little containers, can you send us a link where to buy one? Thankyou so much! 😊 BTW I love your diamond painting videos 💕
Here ya go!

@@RachelRaeCraft Thankyou so much 😊💕
Ohhh, My Chocolate Lab was very Neurotic and would River Dance around our bed at night. Not fun with hardwood floors and Hubby sleeping like a baby!
We love your channel, we're not going anywhere. If people leave then they aren't true fans. 💕 I'm sure you already know but go check diamond painting dreamer's video. Congratulations!
I am watching this and diamond painting
Hello Rachel,
Just wondering, you mentioned in here about putting static drills in the freezer, just wondering if you had tried this yet and did it help?
Also, in another video you spoke of oily drills and that you would "clean" them, how does that process look?
Love your channel and keep doing you! I love that you stopped to have time with your husband! I as well enjoy those spontaneous lets do breakfast and have lazy mornings together, however, our 5 year old has stopped those 🤦♀️😔
I have put drills in the freezer but it didn't work for me. Maybe they need to be in longer. After this video, I started to unpack them with a dryer sheet, immediately dumping them on there and rubbing a little to remove static.
I haven't gotten oily drills in a long time but if I can find some in an older kit I will make a video for you! 💜
It only takes me about 25-30 minutes to kit up I just write labels out stick on the containers then pour diamonds in it takes me longer on a bigger painting
I am just now watching a Rachel Rae video. Your dog barked. Downstairs is a new family, they have a Puppy Pit Bull
I had a border collie mix and she was so smart. Once I started spelling the words, she learned that, too. She just had to hear something once to learn it. After she died, I got a sheltie mix, because I thought she would be that smart, too, but she really wasn't that smart, unfortunately. But she was still a very good dog!
First let me say Love you! Second, I agree 1000% on Americans and maturity, yeesh. Third, try making a funnel with the dryer sheets to transport drills from the baggie to the container (it takes some practice but works very well for me). Fourth OMG Yay for reaching 3000 subs!!!! Fifth sending love for Luna Pupper :) xoxo
Ooooo a funnel of dryer sheet, great idea! Thank you!

Where did you get your sticker maker?
I got mine on craftstash.co.uk but I think you can find them on Amazon and the like. There should be a link in the description.
