I received a coupon from Michael’s that was for 40% off any one regular price item and I’ve been debating whether I should just go ahead and buy another Diamond painting or not, and the reason why is because I have 12 sitting here in my bedroom waiting to be made and I don’t want to have a horde of diamond paintings that might betake a very long time to get to, so I just didn’t want to buy any more, but at the same time I really wanted to buy more LOL.

So I was going through the Michaels app the last couple of days and one of the diamond paintings that I saw was “Wheat Field” which is a Vincent van Gogh painting. I really like Vincent van Gogh and I have the “Starry Night” by Make Market and I also have a Tardis with the Starry Night, actually I have two of them LOL. I wanted to get this one. I took the opportunity to use the 40% off coupon and it went down in price to about $12. I also just so happened to have received a $10 Voucher from Michael’s rewards, so I added the voucher and it went down to $2.15. so I thought you know what, I’m going to get this.

There were also some Diamond paintings that are on clearance for $7.99 that are normally $14.99. I really wanted to buy those, but like I said, I don’t want to have a horde of diamond paintings and those are still pricey even at $8 each, so I thought let me just wait a while.

So tonight I was looking at the Michaels app at the Diamond paintings because I wanted to add some of the ones that I really wanted to my wish list and I noticed that the clearance ones are no longer $7.99, they are now $4.49. What a bargain! I had to buy them. I bought five more Diamond paintings tonight LOL. So tomorrow I will be picking up six Diamond paintings from Michaels.

So there is “Girl with Bird”, “Pink Guitar”, “Colorful Street”, “Flamingo Float in Pool” and “Sun Fruits.”

I really wanted the Colorful Street and the Flamingo Float in Pool, but I didn’t really care for girl with bird or pink guitar at regular price or even at the previous clearance price, but at $4.49 I couldn’t resist. I could give those that I don’t really care about as a gift to someone who wants to get into Diamond painting. I actually know someone who wants to get into Diamond painting and this would probably be really good for them to do as a test to see if they like it. I did also like Sun Fruits.

There are some other ones that I really want to get and those are the “Skull”, the “Roses”, ” Hydrangea Square”, “Tropical Fruit” and “Books.” I really like the Books and Skull. Those are the ones that I was trying to add to my wish list when I saw those clearance ones had gone down in price.

There is a good chance that when I wake up tomorrow morning and I see my text messages saying that my order is ready to be picked up that one or two of them will be canceled because they were sold out. That happened the last time I bought some Diamond paintings late at night and then woke up in the morning and saw that something was canceled. I really hope that I am able to get everything that I paid for tonight, but if not, that’s okay.

After this, I’m going to try to chill my ass out because this is getting ridiculous. I have already finished making 10 Diamond paintings and I’m working on number 11. I have 12 sitting in my room and now I have six more on the way, give or take depending on whether they are going to be available for me or if I give some away. But at least I am working on them and I’m not just letting them collect dust.

I’ve seen some videos on YouTube and on tiktok where people are showing their Diamond painting stash and some of them have a very large stash. One had 73 and some have more than that. I don’t think I’m going to have to worry about getting that high, but you never know lol. Some of these people have in their stash several if not more than like 50 from Diamond Art Club, which is very extremely expensive. And I would imagine if I were to buy one from Diamond Art Club, it would take me months to finish because those are huge. I thought 3 weeks to make the sunflower bouquet was a long time, that is about half the size of a diamond art club painting. They are ridiculously huge LOL. They’re also like $75 and up.

I’m just going to focus on my small diamond paintings that I bought from Amazon and my small Diamond paintings that I’m getting from Michaels and just keep it small and keep it cheap. I can’t afford to go too crazy with this new addiction.
