    Hello, Valerie!! WOW what a haul you got!! I loved the Christmas cards. So sweet, some of the pictures. I have been thinking about doing some coasters as Christmas gifts this year myself but we will see. Temu might be the way to go on those. The cardinal set of coasters were so pretty!! I know someone in particular who would absolutely love those. The stickers were very cute!! Too bad that some of your items came damaged but with the packaging that Temu does and pricing I am surprised that more things don't come damaged. Just my opinion. Thanks for showing all your items that you got. Like you said, some were pretty good and others not so much. Have a great day and I will catch you later. 🙋

    Hi, great video. I wonder on the Kitty ornaments, if he is licking an ice cream Popsicle. When I lived in the South, it was still warm in winter so the grocery store sold ice cream sandwiches and ice pops shaped like Santa, Snowman, etc.

  • @dustyscolourandart330
    @dustyscolourandart330 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Wow that sure is a big haul. I really enjoyed watching you unbox, or unbag, everything. It sucks that some of the stuff was a bit damaged. Louise from crazyborgies has received some acrylic pieces that were broken and she just glued them back together. I am pretty sure she used E6000 and the sealed it really well once done. I really liked the owl hooks. I have never seen them before. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful night 💗

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 10 měsíci

      I had not even considered using my E6000 glue to put broken acrylic back together! 🤦‍♀️
      Thank you for sharing! (Sadly, I already threw away the two broken cat ornaments, but I will definitely remember this for the future.)

      @knits4sanity  Před 6 měsíci

      Let me know what you find! I don’t live near a Dollar Tree (I don’t live near anything 😂), but I will plan to make a stop there the next time I’m close to one.

  • @nicolechapman6440

    You’re the first Diamond painter I watch to mention craft buddy. Where do you buy their products from? Direct?

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 10 měsíci

      Yes! Most of my Craft Buddy comes directly from them, in England, but once in a while Zulily and/or the Home Shopping Channel will have items available. I recently did two Craft Buddy unboxings that will also give more info.

    Hello Valerie, just found you today and really enjoyed watching. That black frame is actually a lot stronger than they look. I run a small business selling crystals and use them all the time to put crystals in as it is a great way to display some pieces. Shouldnt be any problems putting the diamond piece in there. Look forward to watching more from you :)

    • @knits4sanity

    The foil in the display box ist actually pretty sturdy. Those boxes are meant to hold items clutched. I use mine to store my jewellery so it doesn´t slide around or get lost and it works for more than a year now with daily use.

  • @bkd5657
    @bkd5657 Před 10 měsíci +2

    My suggestion with the Christmas wreath you can make them into magnet. that is what I am doing with some of items that was super thin

    • @bkd5657
      @bkd5657 Před 10 měsíci +1

      They were supposed to be Keychains but were not durable for Keychains and it was only one side

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 10 měsíci

      That is a great idea! Yes, that’s exactly what’s the wrong with these. They will never stand up to the west of a keychain, but a magnet is brilliant. Thank you!

  • @judithtrigg1694
    @judithtrigg1694 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Just a thought stick the key wreaths back to back might strengthen them

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 10 měsíci

      I think this is a good idea, but I’m not sure there are any matching ones. I think they may all be different, but I will look. Thanks!

    I understand what you're saying about the stolen images and it's not really fair to those artists I agree but at the same time who cares as long as you're having fun some people are meticulous about that and I think it's silly heck I have a whole bunch of diamond paintings here at my house that I looked up that that have possibly been stolen and I don't care I still do them and have fun. That's Possibly why they're so cheap because they have been stolen

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 3 měsíci

      My biggest issue is the companies that steal images from the small artists. I have less issue with those individuals who purchase the individual kits. Other countries do not have the same intellectual property right and/or copy write laws. Or they have no problem ignoring them.
      I was gifted an adorable DP kit and when I searched the image I discovered it was from an artist trading card that was sold on Etsy almost a decade ago! I was able to find the artist and contacted her. This was the first time she had seen or heard of this image being stolen, but she had many others. But, as she said, these large or “overnight” stores that pop up are simply impossible for her to fight with. But it breaks her heart every time it happens. She appreciated me reaching out to her.
      That was when I began to see how much it hurts the small artists. She should have been paid by the company to use this image. But instead, they stole it and keep all the profit for themselves. That angers me. So, if I can at least try (but not always successfully) to not give these companies my money, I will.
      So, it’s really about the companies, not the individual crafters.
      Does that make sense?

    Any suggestion on covering the background of full drill canvases without using gems?

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Hmmm … So, are you wondering how to use an alternative to drills/crystals/gems over areas that otherwise require them? So, say, instead of filling a night sky with the drills included in a set you want to use something else? If so, that is tricky. It is a very sticky surface, but there are paints that may work. I have considered trying light weight fabric and “punching” it to a canvas- think the childhood projects of tissue paper over the end of a pencil. This is a good question and definitely has me thinking!

    I’m all for NOT supporting the steal of art work. My only problem is I don’t know what is licensed and what’s not. I live in a rural area and most of my craft stuff is ordered. How do you do a reverse image search? It’s so hard to know!

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I have almost everything shipped to me. It’s been a huge time saver for us rural-dwellers! I get it!
      To do a reverse image search: go to the actual Google site. In the search bar, to the far right, will be a little camera image. Click on that. That will likely open another screen where you can select a saved image or even scan an image in your environment. Google will search its databases and pull any same or similar images. You can search through those and find where they are previously/currently published/in use. It can still be tricky to figure out what is licensed and what’s not, but this can at least begin to give you an idea.
      I hope this helps!

  • @melissabelcher
    @melissabelcher Před 10 měsíci +3

    I mean I don't get being so picky about there being dust. they come from diamond painting factories so there is going to be dust and some bends and stuff. that's why it's so cheap it's coming from budget companies and warehouses

    • @knits4sanity
      @knits4sanity  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Yes! I figure as long as 80-85% of it is usable, I’m happy.

      @knits4sanity  Před 8 měsíci

      I sort of started doing that. Not repeatedly, but I do have hand wipes nearby so I can clean off the one or two things that may be rather dusty. Recently, however, my packages have been relatively clean. Just normal warehouse expected dust.
